Symbols Read the operating instructions before use. The illustrations can be found on the fold-out cover pages. Keep these pages open when studying the operating instructions. In these operating instructions, the PD 32 laser range meter is referred to as "the range meter".

The phase shift is used to determine the distance. This measuring principle permits highly accurate and reliable distance measurements to objects without special reflectors. Tools and accessories 3.

Area — activates the "area" function and deactivates every other function. Plus — activates the "distance addition" function and deactivates every other function. If the error Laser switched on persists, notify the local Hilti — moving dashed line service centre.

The built-in optical sight is a great benefit concrete, rock, wood, plastic, paper, etc. Thanks to the reflecting targets is not permitted and, if optical sight, even at long distances can be used, might falsify the results. By pressing the "switch" key on the left at the front of the range meter the measuring Typical measuring procedure with the reference point toggles between front edge optical sight and rear edge.

While the reference key measure" key keep aiming until the laser upper left is pressed and the range meter spot in the optical sight disappears. The reference for the measur- ing extension is deactivated when the range meter is switched Off.

Operation Display Reference position 3. Aim to the target. Press the "Measure" key once again Front edge to measure the distance. Rear edge The result appears in the result line normally in less than a second. The laser beam switches off. If further measurements are taken, up to three previously determined distances are 7.

Switch on the range meter by pressing the "On" key. These are single distance measurement and 2. Press the "Measure" key once. This continuous distance measurement. The switches on the red laser beam which continuous measurement mode is used for is visible as a laser spot on the target setting out given distances or offsets and surface.

The display shows this aiming is also used where distance measurements mode as an animated dashed line are more difficult, e. Switch on the laser beam by pressing diagonally across rooms or from the "Measure" key. Press the "Measure" key once again. Generally, the measured distance will be 1. The range meter takes the extended - NOTE - reference point into account and Alternatively the range meter may be corrects the measured distances switched on by pressing the On key and accordingly.

When doing so, it does not matter whether or not the range meter is off or the laser beam is switched on or off. The range 2. Position the range meter with the spike meter will always switch to continuous at the desired starting point for the measurement. This depends on the reflectivity of the target surface. If the beep signal is switched on, continu- ous measurement is indicated by a Beep. The measuring process is stopped by pressing the "Measure" key once again.

On doing so, the last valid distance measurement shows in the result line on the display. Press the "Measure" key. The measured Continuous measurement is possible distance will appear in the display. This applies also to functions, such as areas and volumes. Use of the PDA 50 target plate is recommended for long distances and in unfavourable light conditions, e.

In both cases we recommend the use of the PDA 50 target plate 7. Tools and accessories 3. Tools and accessories The PDA 50 target plate is made of durable plastic with a special reflective coating.
