Proper use
The electronic multi-measurement device GT-UDM-02 deter-
mines the distance of an object through electronically generated
high-speed signals. The measurement result can be read off of the
display. The device has a computer chip and a key indicator and
memory function, can be used for automatic area calculation and
volume counting and is an ideal device for the construction and fur-
nishing industry (e.g. property brokers, furniture designers and crafts-
men, etc.).
The device has a laser orientation function, i.e. it emits a red laser
beam with which it can easily aim at an object during use. The
automatic temperature comparison of the device provides a more
precise measurement result and indicates the exact environmental
temperature at the same time.

Operation
Avoiding measurement errors
Note the following points in order to avoid measurement errors:
1. Measurements through glass are not possible
2. Distance measurement of sound-absorbent items (e.g. curtains) is not
possible.
3. Measurement errors can occur depending on the surface quality of
the object opposite.
4. The device must be aligned at 90° to the surface opposite (use spirit
level).
5. Strong wind can lead to measurement errors.
6. Objects between the measurement object and the device can affect the
precision of measurement.
7. With distance measurement in the maximum distance range, mea-
surement errors can occur (measurement range 0.6 – 16 m / 2 – 53 ft.).
• If the measured distance is outside of the indicated area:
• If the measured result is outside of the indicated area: The error
message “Err” is shown in the bottom row of the display.
8. With the addition of various parameters (e.g. length plus area), the
“+” is ignored and the display shows the same result as the previous
measurement.

 Operation
9. Nearby additional ultrasound devices or high frequency sounds:
switch off the source(s) of noise during measurement.
10. With unfavourable measurement conditions: Temperature and humidity
influence the precision of measurement – the temperature of the
device should agree with the environmental temperature,
particularly when measuring larger distances (between 12 m to 16
m/ 40 ft. and 53 ft.), relative humidity should be above 48 % and the
measured area should be at least 3 m x 3 m.
11. With distance measurements in corridors or hallways, measurement
errors can occur.
The further the distance, the wider the area to be kept clear must be
in the direction of measurement.
Only during the actual measurements, as long as the READ button
is pressed down, the laser pointer is activated, in order to mark the
measurment point opposite.

Operation
Distance measurement
• Keep the device loop in the direction of the measured object (e.g. the
wall) and the device vertical to the measured object: by repositioning
the device, ensure that the gauge of the spirit level is between both lines.
• Press the BASE button in order to start the device, the device is
ready for operation.
If the last measured value was deleted, the display shows:
• Press the READ button in order to measure the distance between
the measurement reference and the object aimed at. If you intend to
change the measurement reference, briefly press the key BASE .
• Continue to press the READ button and move the device, in order
to obtain the dynamic values; the measured distance will be shown
in the upper section of the display;
• Press the FT/M button at the same time in order to display the
imperial or metric units of measurement (default unit of measure-
ment: metric system). Press and hold the key for three seconds to
switch off the device. The device switches off automatically within
60 seconds if no action is performed.
