Volume
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 measure-
ments 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.
Indirect Measuring - Determination with two
points

Press the PYTHAGORAS - key {A, 12} until the
correct symbol appears on the display. The distance
