Stake out function, Indirect measurement

	Stake out function
GB	Two different distances (a and b) can be entered into the instrument and
	can then be used to mark off defined measured lengths, e.g. in the const-
	ruction of wooden frames.

See figure {O}.

Entering stake out distances:

Press this button twice and the stake out function symbol appears in

the display

By using and , you can adjust the values (first a and then b) to suit the desired stake out distances. Holding the buttons down increases the rate of change of the values.

Once the desired value (a) has been reached it can be confirmed with

the button.

Value (b) can be entered using and . The defined value (b)

is confirmed with the button.

Pressing the button starts the laser measurement. The display shows

required stake out distance in the summary line between the stake out point (first a and then b) and the instrument (rear reference).

If the DISTO™ is then moved slowly along the stake out line the displayed distance decreases. The instrument starts to beep at a distance of 0.1m from the next stake out point.

The arrows in the display indicate in which direction the DISTO™ needs to be moved in order to achieve the defined distance (either a or b). As soon as the staking out point is reached, the symbol appears in the display.

The function can be stopped at any time by pressing the button.

Indirect measurement

The instrument can calculate distances using Pythagoras’ theorem.

This procedure is helpful, if the distance to measure can not be reached directly.

)Make sure you adhere to the prescribed sequence of measurement:

• All target points must be in a horizontal or vertical plane.

•The best results are achieved when the instrument is rotated about a fixed point (e.g. with the positioning bracket fully folded out and the instrument placed on a wall) or the DISTO™ is mounted on a tripod.

•The minimum/maximum function can be used - see explanation in "Measuring -> Minimum/maximum measurement". The minimum value must be used for measurements at right angles to the target; the maximum distance for all other measurements.

Indirect measurement - determining a distance using 2 auxilliary measurements

See figure {P}

e.g. for measuring building heights or widths. It is helpful to use a tripod when measuring heights that require the measurement of two or three measurements.

Press this button once, the display shows . The laser is switched

on.

Aim at the upper point (1) and trigger the measurement . After the first measurement the value is adopted. Keep the instrument as hori- zontal as possible.
