1.1 Safety notices and their meaning
- CAUTION -
This word indicates a possibly hazardous
situation which could result in slight bodily
injuries or damage to property.
- NOTE -
This word indicates information to help the
user employ the product efficiently, and
other useful notes.
1.2 Pictograms
Warning signs
Symbols

These numbers refer to the corres-
ponding illustrations. 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 30 laser range meter is
referred to as "the range meter".
1.3 Location of identification data on the
range meter
The type designation and serial number
can be found on the rating plate on the
range meter. Make a note of this data in
your operating instructions and always
refer to it when making an enquiry to your
Hilti representative or service department.

2. Description
2. Description
The distance is determined along an
emitted laser beam up to the surface where
the laser beam is reflected. The red laser
spot clearly identifies the target from which
the measurement is taken.
The measuring range depends on the
reflectivity and the surface structure of the
target surface.
2.1 Intended use
The range meter is designed for the:
Measurement of distances
Calculation of areas, volumes and distances
Addition and subtraction of distances
Operation and storage in the specified
temperatures
2.2 Items supplied
1 PD 30 laser range meter
1 PDA 60 hand strap
2 Type AA batteries
1 soft pouch
1 Operating instructions
2.3 Measuring principle
The range meter emits a visible laser beam
with measuring waves, which are reflected
returning with a phase shift. The phase
shift is used to determine the distance.
This measuring principle permits highly
accurate and reliable distance measure-
ments to objects without special reflectors.
