Distance can be measured using two different measurement modes, single measurement and continuous measurement. Continuous measurement is used to determine a given distance or length, and can also be used in difficult-to-access locations (such as corners, edges or niches, etc.).
If the rangefinder is off, it can be turned on by pressing the "On/Off" button or the "Measure" button. If the rangefinder is turned on by pressing the "Measure" button, the laser is also enabled, so the following steps can be omitted
1.1. Turn on the laser by pressing the "Measure" button.
1.2. Aim the rangefinder at the target and press the "Measure" button.
The measured distance will be displayed in the result line within 1 second.
During continuous measurement, the distance is updated in the result line at a rate of approximately 6-10 measurements per second. The measurement rate depends on the reflectivity of the target surface. If the signal tone is enabled, continuous measurement is prompted by a signal tone approximately 2-3 times per second.
2.1. Press and hold the "Measure" button for approximately 2 seconds to start the continuous measurement mode.
2.2. Stop the measurement by pressing the "Measure" button again.
2.3. The last valid measurement value is then shown in the result line of the display.
1. Increased measuring range: The measuring range of the rangefinder is usually increased when measuring in a dark environment (dawn or dusk) and when the target and/or the rangefinder are in the shadow of bright light. Using a target plate will also increase the measuring range of the rangefinder.
2. Reduced measuring range: The measuring range may be reduced in bright conditions, such as when working in bright sunlight or under extremely strong lighting. The measuring range of the rangefinder may be reduced when measuring through glass or when there are objects in the path of the laser beam.
The measuring range of the laser rangefinder may be reduced when measuring on green, blue or black matte surfaces or on wet or shiny surfaces.
