Disposal

Dear Testboy customer: purchasing our product gives you the option of returning the instrument to suitable collection points for waste electrical equipment at the end of its lifespan.

The WEEE directive regulates the return and recycling of electrical appliances. Manufacturers of electrical appliances are obliged to take back and recycle all electrical appliances free of charge. Electrical devices may then no longer be disposed of through conventional waste disposal channels. Electrical appliances must be recycled and disposed of separately. All equipment subject to this directive is marked with this logo.

Disposal of used batteries

As an end user, you are legally obliged (battery law) to return all used batteries; disposal in the normal domestic waste is prohibited.

Batteries containing contaminant material are labelled with this symbol indicating that they may not be disposed of in normal domestic waste.

The abbreviations used for the crucial heavy metals are:

Cd = cadmium, Hg = mercury, Pb = lead.

You can return your used batteries to collection points in your community or anywhere where batteries are sold free-of-charge.

Certificate of quality

Operation

In addition to the distance, the laser range finder can be used to determine the surface and volume. It is also possible to perform indirect measurements; to add and subtract measured values; save measured values; determine the minimum and maximum values and to alter the reference point of the measurement depending on circumstances.

It is fitted with a spirit level to ensure level installation and a 14 inch thread for a tripod stand, in order to ensure the greatest level of measurement exactness over longer distances (up to 60 m).

Switching on and off

Press the (G) button to switch on. After approx. one second, the display shows measurement readiness as shown in the adjacent figure.

The flashing symbol indicates that the target laser has been switched on.

Range finding is automatically pre-selected after activation.

Simple diagram with a battery icon and dashed line, no text or symbols present

The target laser is automatically switched off after approx. 30 seconds without measurements; this saves energy.

To switch off the instrument, depress and hold the (F) button approx. one second.

The instrument switches off automatically after approx. three minutes without a measurement having been performed.

Reference point

Depending on the measurement requirements, up to three different target points can be selected with the (C) button to serve as the reference point for the measured distance.

Leading edge:

Rear edge:

Angle "corner":

To measure from a corner, select the reference point “corner” and open the target bracket on the rear edge of the instrument. Apply the instrument with the target bracket in the corner in order to measure the range from the targeted point.

After measuring the distance of the lowest point

Indirect measurement

A length (e.g. the height of an object) can be calculated indirectly using the Pythagoras function. The object height (opposite leg) is calculated using the distance to the highest point of the object (hypotenuse) and the horizontal distance to the object (adjacent leg).

$$ b = \sqrt {c ^ {2} - a ^ {2}} $$

To this end, you can choose between two-point measurement (with horizontal measurement of the deepest object point) or three-point measurement (when the lowest object point is located at a low height).

Calculating measured values

Addition of measured values

To add measured values, proceed as follows:

After determining a measured value, press the (D) button. The measured value is saved displayed in the upper-most row.

Determine the next measured value by pressing the measuring button. This is displayed in the second row.

The sum of the measured value is displayed in the lowest row.

1 38026 m 2 38026 m 38026 m 19582 m 57608 m

Subtracting measured values

To subtract measured values, proceed as follows:

After determining a measured value, press the (J) button. The measured value is saved displayed in the upper-most row.

Determine the next measured value by pressing the measuring button. This is displayed in the second row.

The difference of the measured values is displayed in the lowest row.

1 35.125 m 2 35.125 ---- n 35.125 - 13504 m 2 1621 m

Measuring unit

The basic setting of the measuring unit is metres (m). Press the (k) button to change this. When measuring distances, choose between metres (m), inches (in), feet (ft) and feet and inches (“+”). When measuring surfaces, choose between square metres ( m^2 ) and square feet ( ft^2 ). When measuring volumes, choose between cubic metres ( m^3 ) and cubic feet ( ft^3 ).

Minimum / maximum recording

To show the shortest and widest distances during continual distance measurement, press the (I) button. A short tone will sound following every new measurement result.

The shortest distance (min.) measured is displayed in the upper-most row.

The longest distance measured (max.) is displayed in the second row.

The current distance measured is displayed in the lowest row.

Pressing the "OFF" button will interrupt the continual distance measurement; the measured values will continue to be shown on the display.

The continual distance measurement is automatically aborted after 5 minutes.

Saving measured values

The instrument automatically saves the last 20 measured values.

Press the (E) button to display the measured value history. The display will show the last measured value and the symbol with the index 1. The index can be increased or reduced using the (D) and (J) buttons.

The last measured value has the index 1, the previous measured value has the index 2, etc.

Please note: The historic data cannot be deleted.

Press the (F) button to leave the measured value history and to return to measuring mode.

Error codes

Code	Error	Recommendation
208	Excess temperature	If in doubt, allow the instrument to cool at room temperature.
253	Insufficient temperature	If in doubt, allow the instrument to warm at room temperature.
255	Reflected signal too weak	Aim at a light surface (e.g. white paper)
256	Reflected signal too strong	Aim at a dark surface (e.g. dark paper)

Replacing the battery

The battery status us shown in the top of the display. New batteries permit up to 5000 measurements, with the status a further approx. 500 are possible.
