Frequently Asked Questions - S3100 Tacklife

How to turn on and measure a distance?

Press the Power/Measure button to turn on the device and the laser. Aim at the target, then press again to take a single measurement. The result is displayed on the main screen.

How to measure area?

Press the Area/Volume/Pythagoras button once to enter area mode. Measure the length first, then the width. The device automatically calculates the area and displays it.

What to do if the screen shows 'Err'?

The 'Err' error means the measurement is out of range. Make sure the target is between 0.05 and 100 m. If the problem persists, check the batteries or cleanliness of the lens.

How to change the batteries?

Open the battery cover on the back of the device. Insert 3 AAA 1.5V batteries observing polarity. Close the cover. Remove the batteries if the device is not used for a long time.

How to use the continuous measurement function?

In standby mode, press and hold the Power/Measure button to activate continuous measurement. The min and max values are displayed. Briefly press any button to exit.

How to set the reference point (front or back of the device)?

Briefly press the Reference point/Delay measurement button to toggle between front and back references. The icon on the screen indicates the active point.

How to turn the sound on or off?

Briefly press the Unit/Sound button to turn the buzzer on or off. The speaker icon on the screen indicates the status.

How to clear data in memory?

Briefly press the Store button to view data. Use arrows to navigate. Briefly press to delete an entry, or press and hold to clear all.

How to clean the device?

Use a soft, damp cloth to clean the exterior. Avoid solvents or abrasive materials. For the laser window, use a special optical cloth. Store the device in its case in a dry place.

What are the safety precautions with the laser?

Never look directly into the laser beam and do not point it at eyes. The laser is Class II (635 nm, < 1 mW). Beware of reflective surfaces. Keep the device out of reach of children.

Start and Settings

- Turn on / off the Instrument

Under off status, press button instantly and start to work.

, device and laser get starting

Under on status, long press button

for 3 seconds to turn off the

device. The device can also be off without any operation for 150 seconds.

Unit setting

Under the measuring mode, long press button reset measurement unit, the default unit is: 0.000m

There are 6 units for selection.

Units:

- Changing Reference Point

Short press key to change the reference point. System default reference point is under its bottom.

Long press , values shows in the screen. User can press or to adjust the time of measurement between 3s to 60s.

Press to start, the measure starts when the time turns to 0.

Back Light On / Off

The back light is set to turn on and off automatically. The back light can be on for 15s while operating, and it will be shut off automatically in 15s when there is no operation to the device.

Sound on/off

Short press button to turn on or off the buzzer.

Self-Calibration

This function can keep the precision of the device automatically. Instruction: Power off, press button and till "CAL" and a figure under it displays on the screen. User can adjust the figure with bton according to the accuracy of the meter. Adjusting range: -9 to 9mm, then press bCAD to save the calibration result.

Length Measurement & Calculation

- Single Distance Measuring:

Short press to turn on the laser beam under measuring mode. Press the button again for single measurement of length, then the measured results will display on the major display area.

Continuous Measurement:

Long press button under measuring mode and enter into continuous measuring mode. Maximum and Minimum measuring result will display in auxiliary display area, current result will show in major display area. Short press button or to withdraw continuous measuring mode.

Area Measurement

Press button once, shows on the screen. One of the side of rectangle blinking on the display, please follow the below instructions for area measuring:

Press once for length measurement

Press again for width measurement

The device calculates and shows the result in the major display area.

The resent measuring result of length is showed in the auxiliary display area .

Press , clear off the result and measuring again if necessary.

Press again to exit the mode.

Volume Measurement

Press button twice to enter volume measurement mode. A will shows on the top of screen. Please follow the below instruction for volume measuring:

Press for Length measurement

Press again for Width measurement

Press thirdly for height measurement

The device calculates and shows the result in the major display area.

The resent measuring result of length is showed in the auxiliary display area.

Press clear off the result and measuring again if necessary.

Press again to exit the mode.

- Painter Function

When the meter is in area mode, you can use the add / subtract function to total up the area of several surfaces.

Press button three times till showing in the display.

Press to measure the height of the wall first;

Press to measure the bottom edge of the first wall, get the first area in the major display area;

Press to measure the bottom edge of another wall, get the sum of these two walls.

Repeat these operations for more walls. Press button to previous measuring result and start new measurement.

When there is no data in the Auxiliary Display area, press to exit the mode.

Pythagoras

There are four Pythagoras modes in case that user gets difficulties to measure directly.

1. Calculate the length of two legs by measuring the hypotenuse and the angle.

Short press four times, when the hypotenuse of blinking, Press , measure the length of hypotenuse (a), and calculates the angle () between the bevel and the bottom at the same time.

Device calculates the horizontal distance (b) and vertical height (h).

1. Calculate the hypotenuse by measuring the length of two legs. Short press five times, when one leg of blinking,

Press, measure the length of one leg (a) Press, measure the length of another leg (b) Device calculates the length of hypotenuse (x)

Note: Use a target plate to increase the measurement range during daylight or if the target has poor reflection properties.

Typical Tolerance: ± 2mm , when reflectivity 100% (white surface), environment light < 2000 LUX. 25^ Tolerance is usually affected by the distance, reflectivity, and environment light etc. It probably gets tolerance around ± (2mm + 0.2mm / m) .

Instrument Maintenance:

• The meter should not be stored in high temperature and strong humidity environment for long time; if it is not used very often, please take out the battery and place the meter in the allocated potable bag and store in cool and dry place.

• Please keep the device surface cleaning. Wet soft cloth is applied to dean dust, but erosion liquid is never allowed to use for the meter maintenance. Laser output window and its focus lens can be maintained according to maintenance procedures for optical device.
