Before using
Before initial use, remove the protective film
from the device display 10 and insert the
enclosed battery.
Inserting/changing
the battery
If the battery symbol appears in the
display 10 , the inserted battery is almost drained
and must be replaced. Empty batteries can falsify
the measured result.
To insert the battery proceed as follows:
Open the battery compartment cover 12 on
the back of the device. You can remove the
used battery more easily with the aid of the
material strip, which is inside the battery
compartment. Just pull on the material strip.
Remove the used battery.
Plug the contacts of the 9V-blockbattery on
the contacts of the profiled plug. Make sure
you fit the batteries the right way round. This
is specified by the profiled shape of the con-
tacts. Also ensure without fail that the material
strip is underneath the battery.
Insert the battery in the battery compartment
and close the cover again, so that it audibly
latches into place.

device on. If you do not press any button for
60 s, the display 10 shuts down.
To switch the device off manually, hold the
ON/OFF button pressed down for 3 sec-
onds, until the display goes out and a double
tone signal sounds.
Press the MODE button 8repeatedly, until
the display shows the symbol for length meas-
urement „ “ as well as the length designa-
tion 0.00m (or 0‘00“).
Hold the reference area 6of the ultrasonic
rangefinder at the start point of your meas-
urement. Hold the device in such a way, that
the reference area is aligned parallel to the
target area of the measurement.
If necessary use the level indicator 7to
align the ultrasonic rangefinder horizontally.
The air bubble of the level indicator should
be between the two markings if the
alignment is horizontal.
Press the READ button 4. The laser diode 11
projects a dot of light onto the end point of
the measurement. This dot of light will help you
to correctly align the ultrasonic rangefinder.

appear in the display.

12 GB
Avoiding measuring errors
In order to avoid measuring errors,
please note the following information:
The measurement is performed by ultrasound,
which travels from the ultrasonic transmitter 1
in a conical manner. The ultrasound is reflected
from the target area and received by the ul-
trasonic receiver. The ultrasonic rangefinder
calculates the measured length (Fig. B) from
the travel time of the signal.
In order to guarantee an exact measure-
ment, the following conditions must be
maintained (Fig. B):
The reference area (A) must be parallel to the
target area (B).
The distance to be measured must be be-
tween 0.6m and 16m long.
There must be no objects in the conical path
of the ultrasound, which could reflect the ul-
trasound prematurely. The conical path of the
ultrasound has a width of about 6m at a
length of 16m.
The target area must have a smooth surface,
so that the ultrasound can be well reflected.
Transparent surfaces, such as glass, generally
reflect the ultrasound.
The battery must not be empty. An empty bat-
tery is shown in the display 10 by the battery
symbol .
If a definitive measurement is not possible,
the display shows the „Err“ information. The
measurement must then be repeated.
