iDM70 1. PRECAUTION AND SAFETY MEASURES The instrument has been designed in compliance with the directives relevant to electronic measuring instruments. For your safety and in order to prevent damaging the instrument, please carefully follow the procedures described in this manual and read all notes preceded by the symbol with the utmost attention.
iDM70 In this manual, and on the instrument, the following symbols are used: Warning: observe the instructions given in this manual; improper use could damage the instrument or its components. Warning: always prevent the laser from radiating to your eyes, in order to prevent any injury. The instrument and its accessories must be collected separately and correctly disposed of in the appropriate containers.
iDM70 2. PREPARATION FOR USE 2.1. Initial checks Before shipping, the instrument has been checked from an electric as well as mechanical point of view. All possible precautions have been taken so that it is delivered undamaged. However, we recommend generally checking the instrument in order to detect possible damage suffered during transport. In case anomalies are found, immediately contact the forwarding agent. We also recommend checking that the packaging contains all components indicated in § 9.

iDM70 4. OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS 4.1. Initial operations and settings Press the key to switch on the instrument and the laser pointer. Press and hold the switch off the instrument. key to Press the key to clear (CLR) the last datum shown on the display. Press the key to see the saved distance values. and at the same time to Press the keys delete the temporary memory's content. The value “00” is shown on the display. key to activate/deactivate the Press the backlight of the display.
iDM70 Tripod (see Fig. 2 – Pos. 4) Press and hold the key for 2s. Measurement is carried out from the hole where the tripod is inserted Instrument + stand level The instrument is provided with a stand which can be opened to comfortably rest the unit on horizontal surfaces Fig. 3). With the stand at 90°, delicately move it to the right and open it completely (see Fig. 4). In this position, by resting the instrument on an angle or step, it is automatically configured with the level shown in Fig.
iDM70 4.3. Distance measurement 1. With the instrument in stand-by, press the key or the side MEAS key to activate the laser pointer 2. Use the laser pointer to precisely determine the measuring point, keeping the instrument as perpendicular as possible with respect to the surface of the object to be measured 3. Press the key or the side MEAS key again to measure. The value will be displayed in the selected measuring unit (see § 4.1) and the result will be automatically saved in the memory area. 4.4.
iDM70 In Fig. 6 some applications measurement are indicated of continuous Fig. 6: Applications of continuous measurement 4.5. Additions / subtractions of measures When measuring distance, it is possible to use the following functions: Key Function The subsequent measure is added to the previous one. The result of the sum is shown on the resulting display. The subsequent measure is subtracted from the previous one. The result of the difference is shown on the resulting display.
iDM70 4.6. Area measurement This measurement allows calculating the area of surfaces expressed in m2, in2 or ft2 1. With the instrument in stand-by, press the key or the side MEAS key to select the desired type of reference (see § 4.2) 2. Press the key to enter the Area/Volume “ appears on measuring section. The symbol “ the display with side “1” flashing 3. Press the key or the side MEAS key to perform the first measurement (length) of the surface concerned (see Fig. 7).
iDM70 4.7. Volume measurement This measurement allows calculating the volume of solids expressed in m3, in2 or ft3 key 1. With the instrument in stand-by, press the to select the desired type of reference (see § 4.2) 2. Press the key twice to enter the Area/Volume measuring section. The symbol “ “ appears on the display with side “higher” flashing 3. Press the key or the side MEAS key to perform the first measurement (length) of the surface (see Fig. 8).
iDM70 4.8. Indirect 2-point measurement Indirect measurement allows precisely evaluating a distance between two points on a vertical wall (height) exploiting the mathematical principle of the Pythagorean theorem. For accurate measures we recommend using a tripod. 1. With the instrument in stand-by, press the key to select the desired type of reference (see § 4.2) 2. Press the key to enter the indirect 2-point measuring section. The symbol “ “ appears on the display with side “1” flashing 3.
iDM70 4.9. Indirect 3-point measurement The instrument performs indirect 3-point measurement in two different modes, described below. Mode “ ” 1. With the instrument in stand-by, press the key to select the desired type of reference (see § 4.2) 2. Press the key twice to enter the indirect 3-point measuring section. The symbol “ “ appears on the display with side “1” flashing 3. Position the instrument in the lowest point (1) of key measurement (see Fig. 10) and press the or the side MEAS key.
iDM70 Mode “ ” 1. With the instrument in stand-by, press the key to select the desired type of reference (see § 4.2) 2. Press the key three times to enter the indirect 3point measuring section. The symbol “ “ appears on the display with side “1” flashing 3. Position the instrument in the lowest point (1) of measurement (see Fig. 11 ) and press the key or the side MEAS key. The result appears on the first partial display. The symbol “ “ appears on the display with side “2” flashing 4.
iDM70 4.10. Measurement of tilt and distance This measurement allows for an evaluation of the tilt with respect to the horizontal by means of an internal sensor and of the distance between two points through trigonometric calculation. For accurate measures we recommend using a tripod 1. With the instrument in stand-by, press the key to select the desired type of reference (see § 4.2) 2. Press the key to enter the indirect 3-point measuring section.
iDM70 4.12. Distance measurement with thresholds The instrument measures distance continuously by fixing two thresholds (a) and (b) in order to precisely define the position of objects along a radial line 1. With the instrument in stand-by, press the select the type of reference (see § 4.2) key to key for 2 seconds to enter 2. Press and hold the the measuring section with dimensions. A flashing indication of the size (a) appears on the display or keys to set the value of size (a) 3.
iDM70 4.13. Distance measurement with timer The instrument allows measuring distances with timer setting (max. 60s). 1. With the instrument in stand-by, press the select the type of reference (see § 4.2) 2. Press the key to key to enter the Timer mode with a key default duration of 5s, or press and hold the for a quick setting of the desired value, or use the or keys to set the desired value with 1s scan 3.
iDM70 5. MEASURING CONDITIONS Measuring range The instrument's measuring range is 70m. At night, under poor visibility conditions or if the surface to be measured is in shadow, the measuring range can be reduced. To prevent this, carry out measurements during the day or use luminous plates when the object to be measured has poor reflecting properties. Object surface The instrument can give errors when measurements are carried out on colourless liquids (e.g.
