Indirect measurement

The meter can measure distances us- ing the Pythagorean method. Use this function to measure distances in areas difficult to access.

All target points must be vertical or horizontal on the surface of the wall.

The best results are achieved when the meter is rotated around a fixed point (e.g. the end bracket is fully extended and placed against a wall).

Use the minimum/maximum function to determine the largest distances (maximum height) and smallest dis- tance (right-angle) to be used in the calculation.

1.Press the button three times to use the Pythagorean method to deter- mine the third leg of a triangle .

2.The distance to be measured flashes on the display. Press the button to take the first measurement.

To determine the maximum distance, press and hold the button. A con- tinuous measurement is taken, saving the maximum distance. Press the button again to stop.

3.The second distance to be measured flashes on the display. Press the button to take the second measure- ment.

To determine the minimum distance, press and hold the button. A con- tinuous measurement is taken, saving the minimum distance. Press the button again to stop.

4.The resulting third leg of the triangle is displayed in the Main Targets line. The second measurement is displayed in Intermediate Line 1 and the first measurement is displayed in Intermediate Line 2.

1.Press the button five times.

2.The the stake out distance and the symbol are displayed. To adjust the stake out distance, use the

and buttons.

3.Point the meter at the first stake.

4.Press the button to start the con- tinuous measurement.

5.The next approximate multiple of the staking distance (e.g., 64" for a stak- ing distance of 16") is displayed in Intermediate Line 1. The distance to the next stake point is displayed in the Main Targets line (e.g., 1-3/4").

6.Begin sliding the meter away from the first stake. As the next stake out point is neared, the meter starts to beep.

7.When the next stake out point is reached, the beep sound changes and the top line of the display starts to flash.

Take note of the meter Reference; the stake out point is the set reference - front, rear, or end bracket.
