Laser Measurer

Single Measurement

  • The device will enter Single Measurement mode when powered ON.
  • Press <<MEAS after aiming at target to get result on the bottom of the screen.
  • Press <<MEAS again to measure new data.

Continuous Measurement

D10-B3 fig. 2
  • Long press <<MEAS to switch to Continuous Measurement mode
  • Sweep slowly the laser back and forth and up and down over the desired target point and press <<MEAS to stop

Area Measurement

D10-B3 fig. 3
  • Long press MENU until the flashing logo displays the Area Measurement mode
  • Length: Press <<MEAS to get fthe first distance from the target point
  • Width: Press <<MEAS to again to get the second distance from the second target point
  • The area will be calculated and displayed accordingly

Volume Measurement

D10-B3 fig. 4
  • Short press MENU until the flashing logo displays the Volument Measurement mode
  • Length: Press <<MEAS to get fthe first distance from the target point
  • Width: Press <<MEAS to again to get the second distance from the second target point
  • Height: Press <<MEAS to again to get the third distance from the third target point
  • The volume will be calculated and displayed accordingly

Pythagoras (2-Point)

D10-B3 fig. 5
  • Short press MENU until the flashing logo display the Pythagoras (2-point) measurement mode
  • First line: press <<MEAS to get fthe first distance
  • Second line: press <<MEAS to get the second distance
  • The volume will be calculated and displayed accordingly

Hook Usage and Tape Lock

D10-B3 fig. 7

Usage of Hook: The hook is movable, used for true zero correction and to ensure accurate measurements. The moving distance is the thickness of the hook :

  • Method A : The hook retracts when the tape is measuring against a wall
  • Method B : The hook extrudes when the tape is measuring from an edge

Magnetic Hook

D10-B3 fig. 8

It can be absorbed on metallic materials to measure length

Tape Lock

D10-B3 fig. 9

Press the lock for the tape to slowly retract. Releae the button to stop the retraction.

Error Codes

  • 204 : Calculation error. Repeat the procedure.
  • 220 : Low battery
  • 255 : Received signal too weak or measurement time too long. Improve the reflective surface (use target plate, white paper).
  • 256 : Received signal is too strong. Improve the reflective surface (use target plate, or don't aim at strong light).
  • 261 : Out of measuring range.
  • 500 : Hardware error. Switch on/off the device.
