DISTANCE MEASUREMENT
To measure the distance to an object, it must be
perfectly targeted. To do this, activate the target
mark by pressing the main button (2) once. The tar-
get mark remains lit for about 4 seconds after letting
the main button go. If the button is kept pressed, the
target mark remains lit.
While the target mark is lit, aim the LEICA PINMAS -
TER at the object and press the main button
a sec -
ond time; the distance is then measured and displayed.
The target mark disappears briefly during the
measur
ement. A new measurement can be made at
any time, as long as the target mark is lit, by pres-
sing the main button once again. If the object is less
than 10 m/11yds away, out of range, or does not
provide enough reflection, then _ _ _ appears on
the display.
The LEICA PINMASTER switches itself
off as soon as
t
he display disappears.
SCAN MODE
With the LEICA PINMASTER, continuous measure-
ments can also be made: If the main button (2) is
held down the second time it is pressed, the unit
switches to scan mode after approx. 0.5 seconds
and then takes continuous measurements. This is
indicated by the changing display: a new measured
value is produced around every 0.5 seconds.
Scan mode is particularl
y practical when measuring
t
o flagsticks or other smaller targets.
Note:
In scan mode, due to the constant measurements,
the power consumption is greater than for single
measurements.
