Thank you for choosing a Brandon product. Please read the following user manual carefully to have an enjoyable experience with your purchased product.

Important safety guidelines for this product

Laser

• While using laser equipment it must be ensured that the laser beam of the device is guided such that there are no people in the projection area. Ensure that no reflected rays reach the areas where people are present.
• Before using this device, inform yourself about the legal requirements and preventive measures for operating such a laser device.
• Never look into the laser beam and never point it at people or animals. Such laser radiation can cause eye injuries!
• As soon as laser radiation impinges on the eye, the eyes must be closed immediately and the head must be moved away from the laser beam immediately.
• Never point the laser beam at a mirror or other reflective surfaces. The uncontrolled beam may hit persons or animals!
• Manipulations (modifications) to the laser equipment are not permitted.
• This user manual should be kept carefully, and if you give the laser equipment away, it should be handed over along with it.
  • This product is equipped with a laser of Class 2.

4 Commissioning

Take the device out of the package and remove all the packaging material. Open the battery cover at the back of the device and insert two AAA 1.5V batteries. Then close the battery compartment.

Note: It is recommended not to use rechargeable batteries as it may lead to malfunctions.

5 Commissioning and Initial Settings

Switching on the device and the laser

CLR Press for a long time to switch off the device. Alternatively, the device switches to the standby mode if it is not used for 3 minutes.

CLR "Clear/Power Off" button, stops the last action or empties the current display content.

5.1 Measurement reference

The position of the measurement reference edge of the device (see figure below) can be adjusted as desired. You can set the desired reference point using the

"Measurement reference" button ()

Two mobile phones with upward arrows indicating signal or data flow (no text or symbols present)

Two different beeps indicate the corresponding set measurement point. Restarting the device resets the set measurement reference point to the standard setting.

5.2 Backlight

The backlight is automatically switched on when the device is switched on. If the device is not used for about 30 seconds, the backlight switches off. You can press any button to switch it on again. Alternatively, the backlight can be switched on or off with a long press of the “measurement reference” button.

5.3 Select measurement unit

Press the "UNIT" button to select the desired measurement unit.

The following measurement units are available: m (metre), in (inch) and ft (foot).

6 Measurement

6.1 Single distance measurement

Press the “ ” button to switch on the laser. Press the button once again to start the measurement. The measured data is subsequently shown on the display.

6.2 Continuous measurement

To perform a continuous measurement, press the “ ” button to switch on the laser. Press and hold the button once again to start the continuous measurement. The display now shows a maximum and a minimum measurement value.

To complete the continuous measurement, press either the "MEAS" or the "CLR" button.

The following figure shows examples for continuous measurements.

7 Functions

Plus/Minus

Distance measurement

• Press the "PLUS" button in the individual measurement in order to add the next measurement value to the previous measurement value.
  — Press the “MINUS” button in the individual measurement in order to subtract the next measurement value from the previous measurement value.

If you press the "CLR" button once during these steps, then the last measured value is deleted. If you then press the "CLR" button again, then the "PLUS/MINUS" function is cancelled.

Surface measurement

Press the “” button to activate surface measurement. The “” symbol is shown in the display. Press the "MEAS" button to measure the length of the desired object.

Press the "MEAS" button again to subsequently measure the height of the object. Now the corresponding measured surface is shown in the display.

Volume measurement

Press the “button twice till the” symbol is shown in the display.

Press the "MEAS" button to measure the length of the desired object. Then press the "MEAS" button again to measure the width of the same object. Then you must again press the "MEAS" button to measure the height of the object.

Once you have measured the 3 values, the volume of the object is displayed in the display of the laser rangefinder.

Indirect measurement

This mode is meant for automatic calculation of the Pythagoras theorem.

Press the “” button once till the “” symbol is shown in the display. Press the "MEAS" button to perform the first measurement. Then measure the second desired point of the object.

Diagram showing a mobile phone projecting an image from a window, with no text or symbols present.

If the measurement result satisfies the requirements of the Pythagoras theorem, the height of the indirect measurement is calculated automatically and shown on the display. The average measurements are shown separately on the second and third line.

Indirect measurement II

In this mode, the Pythagoras theorem is used twice.

Press twice on the “ ” button. The “ ” symbol is shown in the display.

To measure the first hypotenuse, set up the rangefinder accordingly and press the "MEAS" button. To subsequently measure the horizontal distance and the right angle for both triangles, set up the rangefinder and measure using the "MEAS" button.

Now it is necessary to measure the second hypotenuse. Set up the device accordingly and press the "MEAS" button to measure the value.

If the values correspond to the Pythagoras theorem, the height is calculated automatically and the values measured earlier are shown on the display.

Stored measured values

"Memory" button: Using this button you can view the last 20 saved measurements. You can scroll through the values using the "+" and "-" values.

Notes for measurements

If the upper surface of the object to be measured is a liquid or a clear and transparent substance, then the measurement may result in an error.

If the object to be measured is highly reflective, then the laser may also be reflected and errors may occur in the measurement.

If the object to be measured is very dark or hardly reflective, then the time required for measurement may increase.

8 Error messages and Correction

Error code Cause of failure
Er.dE Calculation error	Repeat the measurement. Ensure that the measurement points are chosen correctly
Er. SL	The receiving signal is too weakThe measurement time is too longThe measurement point is more than 40 metres away and cannot be measured.
Er. HF Hardware error	Restart the device. If the error occurs again, please contact our customer service.
