Continuous Pointer Mode
As required, the unit can be switched to continuous laser beam (continuous
pointer mode). For this purpose, press the measurement button
7
lightly in
the middle or the side to switch on the laser beam. Then press the contin-
uous pointer mode button
10
. In this mode, the laser beam also remains
switched on between measurements. For measuring, only a single press-
ing down completely of the measurement button
7
is necessary.
■
Do not look into the laser beam.
■
Do not point the laser beam at persons or animals.
When the continuous laser beam is switched on, the measuring unit of the
displayed measured values cannot be changed.
To switch off the continuous laser beam, press the continuous pointer
mode
button
10
or switch off the unit. After renewed switching on, the
unit is again in the normal mode (the laser beam is switched on only when
the measurement button
7
is pressed).
The instrument measures from the back end of the case.
–
The receiving lens and the outlet of the laser beam should not be cov-
ered during a measurement.
–
Do not move the instrument during a measurement (Exception: Con-
tinuous measurement function including minimum/maximum mea-
surement). If possible, rest the instrument on or against the measuring
point.
–
The measurement takes place at the middle point of the light spot,
also for obliquely illuminated target surfaces.
–
The measuring range depends on the light conditions and the reflec-
tion characteristics of the measured surface. For outdoors work and
with strong sunlight, use the laser viewing glasses
28
or the target
panel
29
(accessories) for better visibility of the laser spot or shade the
target area.
–
When measuring to transparent surfaces (e.g. glass, water) or reflect-
ing surfaces, erroneous measurement can result. Porous or struc-
tured surfaces, air strata with different temperatures or indirectly re-
ceived reflections can also influence the measured value. These
effects are caused by physical properties and can therefore not be ex-
cluded by the measuring instrument.
–
In the dark, press the display lighting button
9
. The display is then
lit. To switch off the lighting, press the
button
9
again.
–
By means of the upper and side aligning aids
4
, aiming over longer
distances is facilitated. For this purpose, sight along the upper or side
aligning aids. The laser beam runs parallel to these lines of sight
(see
Fig. ).
–
When the unit is switched off, all values stored in memory are re-
tained. However, when the end piece is removed (changing of the
end piece or the batteries), the memory contents are lost.
