Note items
Theoretically, the measuring range of this product is up
to 23m under20 ~25 , which using ultrasonic reflec-
tion to measure distance. But realmeasuring range is
varying with atmosphere temperature that will not affe-
ct measuring accuracy. The lower the atmosphere
temperature, the wider the range. Forexample: in
atmosphere temperature of0 , the range increased by
12%, in 35 , the range decreased by 10%.
Elevation height willnot bring aboutinfluence on oper-
ation accuracy ofthe unit, but the unit can't be used in
the rainy orsnow, since the raindrop orsnowflake will
produce mistake echo signal. If rainwater enters the
unit, should setit upside down to dry theultrasonic co-
ne, rain water will not damage unit, but will interference
the produce ofhigh quality sound beam. The unit can
be used infog, because fogis good deliver media of
sound wave.
The unit showsa reading from more than 3meters, 3
meters below isa blind areawith a showing symbol
, this unit has intended todesign so, which in or-
der to prevent mistake reading from personnel or obj-
ect interference.
Whether the cable wires take electricity or not will not
influence measured value.

The following is a list of actions tobe taken ifthe unit is
not working properly:
1). Screen is Blank:
Check the batteryis inserted correctly.
Open the battery door on thebottom rear ofthe unit.
The + and - symbols on the battery should
match the corresponding + and - symbols on
the inside ofthe battery compartment.
2). Unit does not measure allwires
<1>. Ensure that horizontal distances between wires are
within the sonic beam.
<2>. Check ifthe unit measuring head is parallelwith the
reflecting surface ofthe object tobe measured.
3).Incorrect readings:
<1>. Ensure themeasurement mode switch is in thecorr-
ect position, MEL for cable height measurement,
and CAL for horizontal distance to object measur-
ement.
<2>. Ensure nowalls or similar obstructions are within 2
meters either side of the unit as reflections fromthese
can interfere with correct operation. Ensure the temp-
erature reading hasstabilized.

7.2V+-0.2 V, in the LCD display will be shown asa
symbol , that indicates the unit isin low battery
and can not work properly, please replace the battery
at once.

Introduction
This product adopts ultrasonic principle to take meas-
urement of cableheight. When taking measurement, the
unit transmits anultrasonic signal bya 15 angle to tow-
ards the wiresand measuring thetime it takesto pick up
the echo from the signal.
This unit takes conveniently, operates easily, circuit
maintainer can make measurement of cable height and
wire to wire distance at anytime anywhere, which not
need to getin touch with electric (communicating) high
cable.
Features and Functions
NOTES:
9V battery
For measuring the height up to6 cables together.
Convenient to take measurement, easy toaim at the
measuring position andto read measuring results.
For measuring the distance between wire and wire.
Be applicable todifferent use of cables.
Uses large measuring sensor, higher accuracy than
existing cable height meter in market.
Compact and easy to take along.
For measuring dimension of house anddistance
between objects.
The temperature compensation function enables the

unit compensates error automatically under the temp-
erature of -10 +40 , and ensures the measuring
accuracy on different temperature conditions.
