Safety Instructions & Warnings
The Ultrasonic Distance Meter emits a
laser beam from the front side of the unit
which projects a visible red spot on the
target.
Although the emission power of the laser
beam is less than 5 mW (Class llla), DO
NOT point the laser directly at the eye or
indirectly by using a reflective surface
such as a mirror.
Do not remove the laser warning label from
the unit.
!
WARNING: Use of controls or performance of procedures other
than those specified herein and failure to follow warnings may
result in injury.

Measurement Requirements
The following sections describe the environmental and physical
requirements necessary for an accurate measurement.
Environmental Measurement Requirements
Temperature and humidity in different environments affect the speed of
sound. When accuracy is critical, make sure the ultrasonic distance meter
is used in appropriate environment as follows: indoors or low wind conditions
within 0 to 30 °C, 45 to 90 %RH.
Physical Measurement Requirements
The ultrasonic technology that is used in this unit requires that the unit
should be pointed toward the surface of the object to be measured at a right
angle both horizontally and vertically. The right angle should be controlled to
less than ±5° to obtain the most accurate measurement.
If the surface of the object is very rough, this unit may not be able to
obtain a measurement to the precision that is stated in the Specifications
Section of this Operation Manual.
When the unit is out of range, there is no return signal and no valid
measurement. The LCD Display will show -ERROR- and the unit will beep.
To ensure the accuracy of your measurements, please take note of
following physical measurement requirements;
• For accurate results, choose a target surface that is large, flat and
hard.
• Place sufficiently sized piece of cardboard in front of targets that
are too small.

• Although the laser beam can pass through glass, the unit can not
take measurements through glass.
• Choose the measurement units before taking your first measure-
ment and do not change the units when you are in the measurement
mode.
• When the distance is longer than 12 meters, a strong wind could
adversely effect the accuracy of the unit.
• When the distance to be
measured is more then 5
meters (15 feet), the width of
the area being measured
should be greater than 1.5
meters (4.5 feet).
• When the distance is more
then 10 meters (30 feet), the
width of the area being
measured should be greater
than 2.5 meters (6.5 feet).
