INTRODUCTION
This tool is intended for measuring distances indoors by
means of ultrasonic waves
When used properly, this tool easily and accurately
measures length, surface and volume
Carefully read this instruction manual as well as the
warning label on the tool, before you use the tool 1
Pay special attention to the safety instructions and
warnings; failure to follow these may result in
serious (eye) injury
Save this instruction manual for future reference

USE
On/off
- switch on the tool by pressing "Power" button
- ambient temperature in °C is shown on display
- switch off the tool by pressing "Power" button again
- the tool automatically switches off after 30 seconds of
inactivity
Mounting of battery 4
! ensure that the tool is switched off
- remove cover P
- insert 9V battery (pay attention to correct polarisation)
- mount cover P
- when battery level is low, symbol 5 will appear in
display
! change battery in time, otherwise faulty
measurements may occur
- always remove the battery from the tool, if the tool is
not used for a long period
Metre/feet conversion
- measurements are in metres/centimetres by default
- press button E 3 for converting metres/centimetres
into feet/inches
- setting will not change as long as battery is not
removed from tool
Operating the tool 6
- press "Power" button
- select measurement mode (button F, G, or H)
- place rear edge of the tool on the starting-point of the
measurement
! aim the tool towards the target surface at a right
angle (use bubble levels M 3)
- a laser "target" 7 is projected on the target surface
as an indication of where the ultrasonic signal is
reflected by the measured object
! do not look into the laser beam
! do not point the laser beam at persons or animals
- press "Read" button; measured distance appears on
top line of display
! keep in mind that the tool measures from its rear
(the tool length is included in the measuring result)
Instructions for proper measurement 6
! do not move the tool during measuring
! do not measure beyond the specified
measurement range (0,5 - 15 m)
! ensure that there are no obstructions within the
conical expanding sound range
- large, hard and flat surfaces give the most accurate
results
- place a piece of cardboard in front of the target
surface, when measuring small, soft or irregular
surfaces (such as carpets, curtains, coarse wallpaper,
etc.)
