Safety information 5. Safety information 5.1 Basic safety information In addition to the safety precautions listed in the individual sections of these operating instructions, the following points must be strictly observed at all times. 5.2 Misuse The range meter and its accessories can be a source of hazard if they are not used properly or not used for the intended purpose by untrained people. – Do not use the range meter without suitable prior instruction. – Do not render any safety devices ineffective and do not remove information and warning notices. – Have the range meter repaired only at a Hilti service center. Unauthorized opening of the range meter may cause the emission of laser radiation in excess of class 2. – Tampering with or modification of the range meter is not permissible. – Use only genuine Hilti accessories and auxiliary tools in order to avoid the risk of injury. – Do not use the range meter in atmospheres where there is a risk of explosion. – Use only a clean, soft cloth for cleaning. If necessary, moisten the cloth slightly with pure alcohol. – Keep the range meter out of the reach of children. – Measurements taken to plastic foam materials, such as polystyrene foam, or to snow or other strongly reflecting surfaces, may be inaccurate. – Taking measurements to surfaces with low reflectivity surrounded by areas with high reflectivity may lead to measurement errors. – Measurements taken through panes of glass or other objects may be inaccurate. – Rapid changes of the measuring conditions, e.g. persons walking through the laser beam, may lead to measurement errors. – Do not direct the range meter towards the sun or other sources of bright light. – Do not use the range meter as a levelling tool. – Check the range meter before taking important measurements and after it has been dropped or subjected to other mechanical stressing. – Check the setting of the measuring reference before measuring. 5.3 General safety precautions Check the range meter for possible damage before use. If the range meter is found to be damaged, have it repaired at a Hilti service centre. The accuracy of the range meter must be checked after it has been dropped or subjected to other mechanical stressing. – When the range meter is brought into a warm environment from very cold conditions, or vice versa, allow it to become acclimatised before use. – Although the range meter is designed for the tough conditions of jobsite use, as with other optical instruments (binoculars, spectacles, cameras, etc.) it should be treated with care. – Although the range meter is protected to prevent entry of dampness, it should be wiped dry each time before being put away in its transport container. – As a precaution, check the settings you have made before using the range meter. – When using the circular bubble level (bull's eye) for alignment, only look at the range meter from the side. 5. Safety information 5.4 Proper organization of workplace – Secure the area in which you are measuring. When setting up the range meter, take care to avoid directing the beam toward yourself or other people. – Avoid unfavourable body positions when working on ladders or scaffolding. Make sure you have a stable stance and avoid danger of overbalancing at all times. – Measurements taken through panes of glass or other objects may be inaccurate. – Use the range meter only while observing the specified operating conditions, i.e. not directed towards a mirror, stainless steel, polished stone, etc. – Observe the accident prevention regulations applicable in the country in which you are working. – Use the PDA 66 holder only together with the PDAs/MDAs recommended by Hilti and only in conjunction with the PD 38. – Check to ensure that your PD 38 communicates only with your PDA/MDA, and vice versa. 5.4.1 Electromagnetic compatibility Although the range meter complies with the strict requirements of the relevant guidelines, Hilti cannot entirely rule out the following possibilities: – The range meter might cause interference to other equipment, e.g. aircraft navigational equipment. – The range meter might be subject to interference caused by powerful radiation, which can then lead to incorrect operation. Check the readings for plausibility when measuring in these conditions or if you are unsure of the results. 10 5.4.2 Laser classification The range meter conforms to laser class 2 based on the IEC60825-1: 2003; standard and class II based on CFR 21 § 1040 (FDA). These range meters may be used without need for further protective measures. The eyelid closure reflex protects the eyes if a person looks into the beam unintentionally for a brief moment. The eyelid closure reflex can, however, be negatively influenced by medication, alcohol or drugs. Nevertheless, as with the sun, a person should not look directly into sources of bright light. The laser beam should not be directed towards persons. Laser information plates based on IEC60825-1: 2003 Laser information plates for the US based on CFR 21 § 1040 (FDA) This laser product complies with 21 CFR 1040, as applicable. 5.4.3 Transport Remove the alkaline or rechargeable batteries whenever transporting the range meter. 6. Getting started 6. Getting started 6.1 Inserting alkaline/rechargeable batteries -CAUTION– Observe the polarity of the batteries. (refer to symbols inside the battery compartment.) – Make sure the battery compartment is properly locked. 1.Press the cover of the battery compartment lightly. 2. Slide the cover out and off. 3. Replace the batteries. For rechargeable batteries – Always use rechargeable batteries of the same make and same type. – Always use rechargeable batteries of the same age and charged to the same level. – New rechargeable batteries are supplied uncharged and have to be charged prior to first use. – Use only 1.2 V NiMH batteries with 1500–2000 mAh capacity. 6.2 Battery charging 6.2.1 Standard battery charging The charging process ensures that there will be virtually no “memory effect”. In view of this, charging can begin at any time regardless of the level to which the battery is already charged. Attach the PDAW 80/81-1 charging adapter to the range meter . For charging, connect either the mains adapter or the car battery plug to the charging adapter. -NOTEFor alkaline batteries – Always replace a complete set of batteries. – Do not mix used and new batteries. – Do not mix batteries of different makes or types. – Use only undamaged batteries of an approved type. The maximum charging time is 12 hours. As with many mobile phones, the level of charging is shown by movement of battery display segments. 11 6. Getting started 6.2.1.1 Battery charging level display – The level of charging is indicated by moving battery status segments at top right of the display. – When a battery is fully charged, Accu Full (battery fully charged) will be displayed. 6.2.1.2 Charging display for unintentionally inserted alkaline batteries – If alkaline batteries are identified, all battery status segments flash continually to indicate missing rechargeable batteries. Additionally, the symbol no Accu shows in the display. The range meter cannot be switched on. – If defective or non re-chargeable alkaline batteries are inserted, the battery display will flash and, at the same time, Accu dEF (defective battery) will appear in the display. -NOTE– The range meter can be switched on and used at any time while the batteries are being charged. The battery charging process stops when the range meter is switched on and the laser activated. – Rechargeable batteries discharge if they are stored for a long time. The battery charging process terminates after 1 minute when charging deeply discharged or defective rechargeable batteries and the display switches off. In this case, the charging process can be restarted only by disconnecting the range meter from the mains adapter or by removing/replacing the rechargeable batteries. – Keep the range meter in a safe place. 6.2.2 Fast battery charging The charging process ensures that 15 minutes of charging with the PDAW 80/81-2 car battery plug provides the battery with enough power for a further 150 to 200 measurements. This process in combination with the car battery plug is of particular advantage in situations where the user needs the range meter ready for use quickly. 6.3 Switching the range meter on and off The range meter is switched on or off by pressing the “On/Off” button. After switching on, the range meter is in the basic display mode. 6.3.1 Initial distance measurement Press the “Measure” button once.

General hardware error Switch the range meter off and then back on. If the error persists, notify the local Hilti service centre. -NOTEDisplay illumination consumes additional power. If it is used frequently, shorter battery life must be expected. 7.3 Optical sight The built-in optical sight is of great benefit when measuring outdoors and whenever the laser spot is poorly visible. The optical sight allows the laser spot to be positioned on the target accurately even at great distance. The laser spot is visible in the optical sight when the range meter is switched on. If the laser spot is not visible in the optical sight then either the measurement has been completed successfully or the laser beam has switched itself off automatically after the preset time (1 minute). The optical axis of the sight runs parallel to the laser beam. Volume measurement active Area measurement active 16 Typical measuring procedure with the optical sight – Press the “Measure” button to activate the laser beam. – Use the optical sight to aim the range meter and position the laser spot on the target. – Press the measure button or side measure button and keep the laser spot on the target until the spot disappears from the optical sight. – Read the distance from the display. 7. Operation Diagram of optical sight Display Reference position Front edge Laser Rear edge Sighting Eye -NOTEUse of the optical sight is recommended for distances above 10 m (30 ft.). 7.4 Measuring distances Distance measurements can be taken to all stationary targets without a highly reflective surface, i.e. concrete, rock, wood, plastic, paper, etc. The use of prisms or measuring to highly reflective surface is not permitted and, if attempted, might falsify the results. 7.4.1 Measuring references End of spike PDA 70 measuring extension Spike (flashing) extends by 1.270 m/50 inches -NOTE– If the spike is folded out 180°, the reference point is always automatically set to the rear edge. 7.4.2 Measuring distances step by step The range meter measures distances in a very short time and, when doing so, shows various information in the display. = Reference button The range meter can measure distances from three different measuring reference points. The measuring reference point can be toggled between the front edge and rear edge by pressing the reference button on front left of the range meter. The reference is set automatically to the end of the spike when the spike is folded out to the 90° position. The reference can be set to the end of the PDA 70 measuring reference extension by pressing the reference button (top left) and the on/off button (top right) simultaneously while the range meter is switched off. The spike symbol in the display then begins to blink. This measuring reference setting for the PDA 70 can be deactivated by switching the range meter off and then on again. 1. Switch on the range meter by pressing the “On” button. ---------- 2. Press the “Measure” button once. This switches on the red laser beam which is visible as a laser spot on the target surface. The display shows this aiming mode as an animated broken line. LASER ---------- 17 7. Operation 3. Aim at the target. 4. Press the “Measure” button once again to measure the distance. The result appears in the result line normally in less than a second. The laser beam switches off. 5.489 If further measurements are taken, up to three previously determined distances are shown in the intermediate result lines, i.e. a total of the last four measured distances are shown. 5.489 12.349 24.634 27.317 7.4.3 Measuring mode Two different distance measuring modes are available. These are single distance measurement and continuous distance measurement. The continuous measurement mode is used for setting out given distances or offsets and is also used where distance measurements are more difficult, e.g. to corners, edges, niches, etc. 18 7.4.3.1 Single distance measurement (“Measure”) 1. Switch on the laser beam by pressing the “Measure” button. 2.Press the “Measure” button once again. The measured distance will normally be shown in the result line in less than a second. -NOTEAlternatively, the range meter may be switched on by pressing the “On” button and the laser then activated by pressing the “Measure” button. 7.4.3.2 Continuous measurement Press the “Measure” button for about 2 seconds to activate this measuring mode. When doing so, it does not matter whether or not the range meter or the laser beam is switched on or off. The range meter will always switch to continuous measurement. During continuous measurement, distances are updated in the result line at the rate of about 8 to 15 measurements every second. The rate of measurement depends on the reflectivity of the target surface. If the beep signal is active, continuous measurement is indicated by a beep. The measuring process is stopped by pressing the “Measure” button once again. On doing so, the last valid distance measurement will be shown in the result line in the display. -NOTEContinuous measurement is possible in all situations where distances can be measured. This applies also to functions, such as areas and volumes. 7. Operation 7.4.4 Measuring from corners The spike is used when measuring diagonally across rooms or from inaccessible corners. 1. Fold out the spike 90°. This automatically sets the measuring reference to the end of the spike. The range meter takes the extended reference point into account and corrects the measured distances accordingly. 7.4.5 Measuring with the aid of target objects When taking measurements to outside corners, e.g. on buildings, perimeter fences, etc., boards, bricks or other suitable objects can be used as the target. Use of the PDA 50 target plate is recommended for long distances and in unfavourable light conditions, e.g. strong sunlight. 2. Position the range meter with the spike at the desired starting point for the measurement and aim towards the target. 3. Press the “Measure” button. The measured distance appears in the display. 7.4.6 Measuring in bright conditions The PD 38 has a built-in optical target sight. When measuring to very bright surfaces, the laser spot is often not visible. Thanks to the laser spot superimposed in the optical sight, you can always clearly and reliably aim at the target. We recommend use of the PDA 50 target plate for long distances and bright light conditions. 19 7. Operation 7.4.7 Taking measurements to rough surfaces When measuring to rough surfaces, e.g. coarse render, stucco, etc, an average distance value is measured with the centre of laser spot weighted higher than the edges of the laser spot. 7.4.10 Taking measurements to transparent surfaces It is not possible to measure distances to transparent materials, e.g. liquids, polystyrene foam, etc. This is because light penetrates these materials and therefore measuring errors may occur. Measuring errors may also occur if measurements are taken through glass or if obstructions are present within the line of the laser beam. 7.4.11 Measuring ranges 7.4.8 Taking measurements to round or inclined surfaces If the laser beam strikes the target surface at a very narrow angle, the light reflected may be inadequate. Conversely, too much light may be reflected toward the range meter in certain situations where the laser beam strikes the target perpendicularly. We recommend use of the PDA 50 target plate in both of these situations. 7.4.9 Taking measurements to wet or shiny surfaces As long as the range meter can be aimed towards the surface, the distance to the target will be reliably measured. In the case of highly reflective surfaces, a reduction in range or measurement of the distance to the actual point of reflection must be expected. 20 7.4.11.1 Increased distances – Taking measurements in the dark, at dawn, dusk and to shaded targets or with the front of the range meter shaded, generally leads to an increase in the measuring range. – Taking measurements to the PDA 50 target plate also results in an increase in the measuring range. 7.4.11.2 Reduced distances – Taking measurements in very bright ambient light, e.g. in sunshine or a very bright spotlight etc, can lead to a reduction in range. – Taking measurements through glass or other objects in the target beam can lead to reduced measuring range. – Taking measurements to matt green, blue or black, wet or shiny surfaces can lead to reduced measuring range. 8. Applications and functions 8. Applications and functions The individual steps within all functions are supported by the graphical display. -NOTE– Continuous measurement can be used within all functions where single measurements are possible. – If measuring errors occur during continuous measurement or if continuous measurement is stopped by pressing the “Measure” button again, the last valid distance will be shown. All PD 38 on-board functions such as area, volume, plus and minus are disabled while a Bluetooth connection is active. An active connection is indicated by the symbol. 8.1.2 Historical data memory The range meter saves the last five measurements or calculations including the graphics. This saved data can be shown consecutively in the display by pressing the plus and minus buttons immediately after switching on the range meter with the on/off button (as long as no function has been carried out or distance measurement taken). The symbol “Historical data mode active” shows the data stored in the memory. Example of the display of a saved volume measurement: 8.1 Measurement data memory The range meter continuously saves the measured values and the results of calculations while measuring. 8.1.1 Saving measurements When measuring several distances, up to three previous distances are displayed in the intermediate result lines. This means that, in total, the last four measured distances are displayed or saved. 5.489 12.349 24.634 1669.783 8.2 Area measurement Areas can be determined easily and quickly. Press the “Area” function button.

Press the “Volume” function button. This switches the laser beam on – ready for measuring. The individual steps for determining a volume are supported by a corresponding graphic display. To determine the volume of a room, for example, the following procedure must be followed: 1. At the start of the volume function, the laser beam is switched on. 2. Aim the range meter towards at the target. 3. Press the “Measure” button. The room width will be measured and shown. 4. After this, the graphic display will automatically request measurement of the room length. 5. Aim the range meter at the next target to obtain the room length. 6. Press the “Measure” button. The room length will be measured. 7. After this, the graphic display will automatically request measurement of the room height. 8. Aim the range meter at the next target to obtain the room height. 9. Press the “Measure” button. The room height will be measured, the volume immediately calculated and the result shown in the result line. 5.489 12.349 24.634 1669.783 All three distances required to calculate the volume appear in the intermediate result lines and can be conveniently noted after the measurements and the calculation. PD 25 MEN 22 -NOTETo determine another volume, press the “Volume” function button again. 8. Applications and functions 8.4 Adding distances Individual distances can be conveniently added.

To terminate the addition of distances, simply measure a distance without first pressing the “Plus” button. The previous three measurement and calculation results will be shown in the intermediate displays. 8.5 Subtracting distances Individual distances can be conveniently subtracted from each other. This is useful for determining, for example, offsets to inaccessible places or the distance from the underside of a pipe to the ceiling. To do so, the distance from the floor to the underside of the pipe is subtracted from the distance from the floor to the ceiling. If, additionally, the pipe diameter is deducted, the result is the distance from the top of the pipe to the ceiling. PD 28 ?! PD 28 ?! 1. Press the “Measure” button.

PDA/MDA Windows CE application Hilti PD 38 10. PDA/MDA Windows CE with Hilti PD 38 application The Hilti PD 38 application is installed on a PDA/MDA as described in chapter “9.1.2 Installation of Hilti PD 38 application software on a PDA/MDA”. The program contains four major functions, Image Sketch, Line Draw, Data Table and Formulary. The measurements are transferred to the particular function by wireless communication – all measurements can also be entered manually. -NOTEFurther instructions about the separate functions can be found in the help texts for the particular function on the PDA/MDA. 1. “Image Sketch” Some PDAs and most MDAs are equipped with a digital camera which allows photos to be taken of a particular object on the spot, e.g. window, door, room, etc. Existing digital images can also be transferred to the PDA/MDA. Measured lengths, shown as lines with dimensions, can be added directly to the photos taken on the spot with the PDA/MDA or those transferred from the PC. These photos with measurements can then be printed out or transferred to the PC for further use. Using an MDA, the photos can be sent as an E-mail from the photo location, for example, to an office. All relevant output formats, e.g. bitmap (*.bmp) or JPEG (*.jpg) can be transferred to the PC. 2. “Line Draw” This drawing function creates outline plans – combining measuring and scale drawing – on the spot. Other possible uses are the design and drawing of non-rectangular objects and features. The calculation of the area of enclosed geometrical figures is also possible, even when several are joined together. All common CAD output formats are supported for transfer to the PC – Felixcad (*.flx) – AutoCad DXF (*.dxf) for release 12 up to release 14 and AutoCad 2000/2002 – AutoCad Format (*.dwg) for release 12 up to release 14 and also AutoCad 2000/2002 All drawings can also be transferred as pixel data to the PC – Bitmap (*.bmp) – JPEG (*.jpg) This allows the drawings to be displayed on a PC without a CAD system. 3. “Data Table” The Data Table function creates a table fully compatible with Windows Excel, with measurements entered directly in the appropriate cells. However, measurements are activated (from the PDA/MDA or from the PD 38) only when the “Hilti Measuring Interface” in the lower right-hand window has been activated. Once active, the symbol is shown in the lower section of the PDA/MDA display. -NOTETake note of the units used in Excel as these are not saved. 27 10. PDA/MDA Windows CE application Hilti PD 38/11. Data transfer from PDA/MDA to PC Different options exist when using the data table – The data table can be used with the cells simply containing measurements, without any line or column description. – The structure of the table can be established on the PDA/MDA, i.e. the lines and columns are pre-defined according to the measurement needs and the measurements entered into the respective cells. – The structure of the table can be defined and established in Windows Excel on the PC, i.e. a relevant structured measurement table fully pre-defined on the PC. This can also contain formats and formulas which can be used as checks on the spot. -NOTEMeasurements initiated from the PD 38 are displayed on the PDA only when the Hilti Measuring Interface is active. On completion of the measurements, the table can be transferred to the PC for further use. 4. “Formulary” The functions of the formulary serve to assist with less common measuring tasks, e.g. measuring length at inaccessible places, angle and area determinations of non-rectangular areas and much more … Measurements are transferred directly to the relevant location within the function. Measurements can also be entered manually. The user is guided step by step by the graphical user interface. 28 List of functions: – Area computations – Volume computations – Indirect distance measurement using Pythagorean function (3 options) – Circle computations (area and circumference) – Inclination computations (roof slope, pipe slope, etc … in inaccessible places) – Minimum and maximum measurements for diagonals and much more – Average computations from eight consecutive measurements Computation results can be copied for further use in other programs, as far as this option exists. 11. Data transfer from PDA/MDA to PC Data is transferred between the PDA/MDA and the PC using the Windows Active Sync software. It is essential that Active Sync is previously installed on the PC and a connection established between the PDA/MDA and the PC. The exchange of data files between the PC and PDA/MDA is carried out using the “Copy” and “Insert” functions. The data must be saved in the correct format before it can be transferred from the PDA/MDA to the PC. – Data from “Image sketch” must be saved in an appropriate folder in the *.bmp or *.jpg format. – Data from “Line draw” must be stored in one of the many optional data formats. – Data from “Data table” is already saved in the Windows Excel *.xls format. 11. Data transfer from PDA/MDA to PC/12. Data transfer from PDA/MDA to PC Example of data transfer from PDA/MDA to PC 1. Place the PDA/MDA in the docking station and switch it on. 2. For access to the data memory in the PDA/MDA select “File” and then “Search” in the Active Sync window. 3. The complete contents of data memory in the PDA/MDA are then displayed. 4. Select the applicable folder and then the file to be transferred to the PC. 5. Mark the file and then select “Copy”. 6. Select the applicable PC drive, e.g. drive “C:” from the bar at the top of the Active Sync window. 7. Then select the folder on the PC drive into which the file from the PDA/MDA is to be transferred. 8. Select “Insert” and the applicable file will then be transferred from the PDA/ MDA to the PC. The procedure for transferring data from the PC to the PDA/MDA is very similar, the main difference being that the file is first selected on the PC before being transferred to the PDA/MDA. 12. Calibration and adjustment 12.1 Calibration Inspection and testing of the range meter for users (companies) certified in accordance with ISO 900X... You may carry out the inspection, and testing of the PD 38 laser range meter as specified in ISO 900X... by yourself. (See ISO 17123-4 Field Process for Accuracy Examinations of Geodetic Instruments: Part 6, Close-range Opto-electrical Range Meters.) Select a readily accessible measuring distance of a known length approx. 1 to 5 meters (3–15 ft) long which does not vary with time and take five measurements of the same distance. Determine the mean of the deviations to the known distance. This value should be within the specific accuracy tolerance for the range meter. Keep a record of this value and note the time for the next test. Repeat this check measurement at regular intervals as well as before and after important measuring tasks. Apply a sticker to the PD 38 documenting this control of the measuring, inspection and test equipment for the range meter and keep a record of the entire control process, inspection procedure and the results. Please refer to the technical data contained in the operating instructions and the information concerning measuring accuracy. 29 12. Data transfer from PDA/MDA to PC/13.
