Volume

GB Press the AREA/VOLUME - key {A, 6} twice for the volume function. The corresponding symbol appears in the display. When 3 measurements have been taken the result will be automatically calculated and displayed in the main line.

Press the AREA/VOLUME - key {A, 6} longer to display additional room information such as ceiling/ floor area, surface area of the walls, circumference. Press the AREA/VOLUME - key {A, 6} long again to return to the previous volume measurement.

If you want to measure another volume press AREA/ VOLUME - key {A, 6} again.

Special Function:

Sides to be measured can be made up of several distances.

If necessary, all sides of your volume measurement can be made up of several partial measurements. Choose the volume mode. Press the PLUS - key {A, 3} or MINUS - key {A, 13} before you start with the first partial measurement. Proceed with the first partial measurement by pressing DIST - key {A, 1}. In the display an addition or subtraction symbol appears. Make the first partial measurement, press PLUS - key {A, 3} or MINUS - key {A, 13} and make the second partial measurement. Unlimited partial measurements can be summed up or subtracted. To finish the distance measurement press the EQUAL - key { A, 5}. The second and the third distance can be made up of

partial distances with the same method. The volume result is shown as usual in the main line.

Indirect Measuring

The device can calculate distances using Pythagoras' theorem. This method is useful when the distance to be measured is difficult or dangerous to access.

•The method is only used to estimate distances, it cannot replace an accurate measurement.

•Make sure you strictly follow the sequence of the measurements

•All target points need to be vertically or horizon- tally in the same plane

•Best results can be expected if the device is turned around a fixed point (e.g. positioning bracket folded out completely and the device is held towards a wall)

•It is highly recommended to use the "Minimum/ maximum measuring" by pressing the DIST - key {A, 1} longer. The minimum value is used for the measurements perpendicular towards the target respectively the maximum value for the other measurements. This increases the accuracy of the indirect measuring considerably.
