6.4.8 Permanent laser mode
When in permanent laser mode, a measurement is taken
each time the “Measure” button is pressed. The laser is
not deactivated after the measurement is taken. In this
mode, several measurements can be taken very quickly,
one after the other, with only a few presses of the button.
The corresponding symbol is shown in the status bar of
the main screen.
6.4.9 Show inclination in the display, on / off
In this menu you can select whether the angle of in-
clination is to be shown in the main screen (activate /
deactivate).
6.4.10 Calibrating the inclination sensor
In order to achieve greatest possible accuracy when
making inclination measurements, the inclination sensor
must be calibrated at regular intervals. If the tool has
suffered an impact or has been subjected to temperature
en
7
Printed: 18.11.2013 | Doc-Nr: PUB / 5138735 / 000 / 02
fluctuations, the inclination sensor must be recalibrated.
Calibration is carried out in 3 steps.
1. To begin calibration, select the inclination sensor
calibration symbol.
2. Lay the tool on a horizontal surface and then press
the “Measure” button.
3. Rotate the tool horizontally through 180° and press
the “Measure” button again.
NOTE The inclination sensor is now calibrated.
6.4.11 Information about the tool
Here you will find information about the tool, such as the
software version, hardware version and serial number.
6.4.12 Resetting to the default settings
This function can be used to reset the tool to the default
settings.
6.5 Measuring aids
6.5.1 Measuring using the spike 3 4
The spike can be used when measuring diagonally across
rooms or from inaccessible corners.
1. Fold out the spike through 90°.
The spike can then be used as the contact point.
2. Fold out the spike through 180°.
The measuring reference point is then set auto-
matically. The tool detects the extended measuring
reference.
6.5.2 Measuring using the optical sight 5
The optical sight is useful when measuring distances
greater than 10 meters. The built-in optical sight is partic-
ularly helpful outdoors and in situations where the laser
spot is otherwise difficult to see or no longer visible. With
the aid of the optical sight, the tool can be aimed accur-
ately at targets even at great distance. When the tool is
switched on, the laser spot can be seen in the optical
sight. If the laser spot cannot be seen in the optical sight,
either the measurement has been completed or the laser
beam has switched itself off after the corresponding time
interval.
6.5.3 Measuring using the PDA 50/51/52 target
plate 6 7
NOTE
For reliable distance measurements, care should be taken
to ensure that the laser beam strikes the target plate at
right angles as far as possible.
NOTE
When the target plate is used and very high accuracy is
required, 1.2 mm should be added to the measurement
obtained.
When taking measurements to outside corners (e.g. on
outside walls of buildings, perimeter fences, etc.), boards,
bricks or other suitable objects can be held against the
corner and used as the target. Use of the PDA 50, PDA 51
or PDA 52 target plate is recommended for long distances
and in unfavorable light conditions, e.g. in strong sunlight.
The PDA 50 target plate is made of durable plastic with
a special reflective coating. Use of the target plate is
recommended at distances greater than 10 m in unfavor-
able light conditions.
The PDA 51 target plate has no reflective coating and its
use is recommended in unfavorable light conditions and
at short distances.
The PDA 52 target plate is equipped with the same
reflective coating as the PDA 50 but is considerably
larger in size (210 x 297 mm). This makes it much easier
to aim the tool at the target plate over long distances.
6.5.4 Taking measurements using the PUA 60 laser
visibility glasses
NOTE
The laser visibility glasses have no protective function
and thus do not protect the eyes from laser beams. As
these glasses limit color vision they must not be worn by
persons driving on a public road and must not be used
to look directly into the sun.
The PUA 60 laser visibility glasses improve laser beam
visibility considerably.
6.5.5 Measuring using the PDA 72 measuring
extension
NOTE
The measuring extension is made from aluminium and is
equipped with a non-conductive synthetic rubber grip.
When the PDA 72 measuring extension (optional ac-
cessory) is screwed onto the underside of the tool it is
detected automatically by the tool and indicated in the
display. The tool detects the extended measuring ref-
erence. The PDA 72 measuring extension can also be
fitted to the underside of the tool (battery compartment)
but is not detected automatically when in this position.
Depending on how the tool is to be used, the reference
can also be adjusted manually (see section “Measuring
reference”).

7 Operation
7.1 Distance measurement
NOTE
Generally speaking, the individual steps in all functions
are always assisted by the graphic symbols displayed.
NOTE
If measuring errors occur during continuous measuring,
and continuous measuring mode is canceled by pressing
the “Measure” button again, the last valid measurement
will be displayed.
NOTE
After starting a function, the laser beam is already
switched on.
NOTE
You will obtain the most accurate results when all meas-
urements within one function are taken from the same
point of contact and axis of rotation.
7.1.1 Measuring modes
Distances can be measured using two different meas-
uring modes, i.e. single measurement and continuous
measurement. Continuous measurement is used for set-
ting out given distances or lengths and can also be used
where access is difficult, e.g. at corners, edges and in
niches, etc.
7.1.1.1 Single measurements
If the tool is switched off it can be switched on by pressing
the “On/off” button or the “Measure” button. If the tool is
switched on by pressing the “Measure” button the laser
is also activated, so step one described below can be
omitted.
1. Switch on the laser by pressing the “Measure” but-
ton.
2. Aim the tool at the target and press the “Measure”
button.
The measured distance will be shown in the result
line in less than a second.
7.1.1.2 Continuous measuring (tracking)
NOTE
During continuous measuring, distances are updated in
the result line at the rate of approx. 6 - 10 measurements
every second. The measuring rate depends on reflectivity
of the target surface. If the signal tone is active, continu-
ous measuring is indicated by a signal tone approx. 2 - 3
times per second.
1. Press the “Measure” button for about 2 seconds to
activate continuous measuring mode.
2. Measuring is stopped by pressing the “Measure”
button once again.
The last valid measurement is then shown in the
result line in the display.
7.1.2 Measuring in bright conditions
We recommend use of the PDA 50, PDA 51 or PDA 52
target plate for long distances and in very bright light
conditions.
7.1.3 Measuring range
7.1.3.1 Increased range
The range of the tool is generally increased when meas-
urements are taken in the dark, at dawn or dusk and
when the target and/or the tool is shaded from bright
light.
Use of the PDA 50, PDA 51 or PDA 52 target plate also
increases the range of the tool.
7.1.3.2 Reduced measuring range
Measuring range may be reduced in bright conditions,
e.g. in bright sunlight or when working under very power-
ful floodlights.
The range of the tool may be reduced when measure-
ments are taken through glass or when objects lie within
the path of the laser beam.
The range of the tool may be reduced when measure-
ments are taken to mat green, blue or black surfaces or
to wet or shiny surfaces.
7.2 Adding / subtracting distances
Individual distances can be added or subtracted con-
veniently.
Addition can be used, for example, to determine the total
length of window and door reveals or to add several
part distances together in order to determine the total
distance.
Subtraction can be used, for example, to determine the
distance between the underside of a pipe or duct and
the ceiling. This can be done by subtracting the distance
between the floor and the underside of the pipe from the
distance between the floor and the ceiling. If the pipe
en
9
Printed: 18.11.2013 | Doc-Nr: PUB / 5138735 / 000 / 02
diameter is subtracted, the result is the distance between
the top of the pipe and the ceiling.
1. Press the “Measure” button (the laser beam will
switch on).
2. Aim the range meter at the target.
3. Press the “Measure” button.
The first distance will be measured and displayed
(the laser then switches off).
4. Use the right or left arrow buttons to select the
desired arithmetic function.
5. Press the “Measure” button.
The laser beam switches on.
6. Aim the range meter at the target.
7. Press the “Measure” button. The second distance
is then measured and displayed in the intermediate
result line. The result of the addition or subtraction
is shown in the result line. You can add or subtract
any desired number of distances.
NOTE Whenever you see the + and – option in the
measuring function area of the display you may add
or subtract a second measurement using the same
function. If, for example, you are using the area
measurement function, you can use the right or left
arrow buttons to add or subtract several other areas.

7.4 Trapezoid functions
NOTE
A reduced level of accuracy, much lower than the level
of accuracy of the tool itself, must generally be expected
when the indirect measuring method is used. In order to
obtain the best results, care must be taken regarding the
geometry of the situation (i.e. right angles and triangle
relationships). Best results are obtained when the tool
is aimed carefully at the corners of the object, when all
points are within the same plane and when the measure-
ments are taken from a location not too far away from
the object.
NOTE
When taking indirect measurements, make sure that all
measurements are taken in a horizontal or vertical plane.
Trapezoid functions can be used, for example, to de-
termine the length of a roof. The Trapezoid function cal-
culates the target distance with the aid of three measured
distances. The Trapezoid with Inclination function calcu-
lates the target distance with the aid of two measured
distances and an angle of inclination.
7.4.1 Trapezoid function (3 distances)
Each step of the Trapezoid function is indicated graphic-
ally in the display. To make use of the Trapezoid function

5. Press the “Measure” button.
The second distance is measured and displayed in
the intermediate result line.
6. Aim the range meter at the target.
7. Press the “Measure” button.
The third distance is measured, the target length
then calculated immediately and the result displayed
in the result line.
7.4.2 Trapezoid with Inclination (2 distances, 1
angle)
NOTE
For accurate results, calibrate the inclination sensor be-
fore using this function.
NOTE
When measuring an inclination, do not tilt the tool to
the side. To avoid measuring errors when tilted, the
corresponding warning is shown in the display and the
measurement cannot be taken.
Each step when using the Trapezoid with Inclination
function is indicated graphically in the display. In order
to make use of the Trapezoid with Inclination function
you need two distances and an angle. For example, to
determine the length of a roof, proceed as follows:
1. Select Trapezoid with Inclination from the group of
special functions.
2. Aim the range meter at the target.
3. Press the “Measure” button.

7.5 Pythagoras functions
NOTE
A reduced level of accuracy, much lower than the level
of accuracy of the tool itself, must generally be expected
when the indirect measuring method is used. In order to
obtain the best results, care must be taken regarding the
geometry of the situation (i.e. right angles and triangle
relationships). Best results are obtained when the tool
is aimed carefully at the corners of the object, when all
points are within the same plane and when the measure-
ments are taken from a location not too far away from
the object.
NOTE
The system checks whether the geometric relationship
allows a result to be calculated. An invalid result, caused
by inadequate geometric conditions, is indicated by a
warning triangle in the result line. In this case, one or
more of the distances must be remeasured.
NOTE
When taking indirect measurements, make sure that all
measurements are taken in a horizontal or vertical plane.
A distance can be measured indirectly by taking several
measurements and the result then calculated using the
Pythagoras rule. The Single Pythagoras method uses a
triangle with two measured distances. The Double Py-
thagoras method uses two adjoining triangles. The Com-
bined Pythagoras method uses the differential between
two triangles.

7.6 Indirect measurements
NOTE
A reduced level of accuracy, much lower than the level
of accuracy of the tool itself, must generally be expected
when the indirect measuring method is used. In order to
obtain the best results, care must be taken regarding the
geometry of the situation (i.e. right angles and triangle
relationships). Best results are obtained when the tool
is aimed carefully at the corners of the object, when all
points are within the same plane and when the measure-
ments are taken from a location not too far away from
the object.
NOTE
For accurate results, calibrate the inclination sensor be-
fore using these functions.
NOTE
When measuring an inclination, do not tilt the tool to
the side. To avoid measuring errors when tilted, the
corresponding warning is shown in the display and the
measurement cannot be taken.
NOTE
When taking indirect measurements, make sure that all
measurements are taken in a horizontal or vertical plane.
Indirect measurements can be used to determine dis-
tances that cannot be measured directly. There are sev-
eral ways in which distances can be measured indirectly.
7.6.1 Indirect Horizontal Distance (1 angle, 1
distance)

shown in the result line.
7.6.2 Indirect Vertical Distance (2 angles, 2
distances)
This function is particularly useful in situations where a
vertical distance on a wall requires to be measured but
no direct access to the wall is possible (e.g. floor to floor
height on the facade of a building). Follow the graphical
display, which indicates the distances to be measured.
After measuring the two distances necessary and the
angles of inclination, the result is calculated and shown
in the result line.
1. Select the Indirect Vertical Distance function from
the Indirect Measurement group.
2. Aim the range meter at the target.
3. Press the “Measure” button.

7.6.3 Indirect Measurement on Ceilings (2 angles, 2
distances)
NOTE
Take care to ensure that the measured points and the
point at which the tool is positioned all lie on the same
vertical plane.
This function is particularly suitable for use in situations
where a distance on a ceiling requires to be meas-
ured. Follow the graphical display, which indicates the
distances to be measured. After measuring the two dis-
tances necessary and the angles of inclination, the result
is calculated and shown in the result line.

7.6.4 Indirect Vertical Distance II (2 angles, 1
distance)
This function is useful in situations where a distance re-
quires to be measured but a target point is not reflective
(e.g. a crane). Follow the graphical display, which in-
dicates the distance and angle to be measured. After
measuring the necessary angle of inclination and the dis-
tance, the result is calculated and shown in the result
line.
1. Select the Indirect Vertical Distance II function from
the Indirect Measurement group.
2. Aim the range meter at the target.

7.7 Special functions
7.7.1 Outdoor measuring mode
NOTE
When using outdoor measuring mode, accuracy is re-
duced by ± 20 mm at a distance of 10 meters or more.
The use of laser range meters outdoors is severely re-
stricted by bright sunlight and over great distances.
In particular, it becomes more difficult to measure long
distances as the range meter requires more time to com-
plete the measurement.
In outdoor measuring mode the accuracy of measure-
ment is reduced to ± 20 mm but this results in signific-
antly faster measurement. It therefore becomes possible
to take measurements over long distances in bright con-
ditions.
In outdoor measuring mode the colors in the display are
reversed in order to make it obvious that the tool is in this
mode and to make the display more clearly legible. The
display is then black and the measurements are shown
in white.
7.7.2 Inclination function
NOTE
The reference surface for the inclination sensor is the
underside of the tool (battery compartment).
The current inclination is shown graphically and numer-
ically when using the Inclination function. Depending on
how the angle units are configured in the settings, the cur-
rent inclination is shown in degrees, percent or mm/m. If
you press the “Measure” button when using this function,
the current angle of inclination is saved.
7.7.3 Painter’s Area
The Painter’s Area function is used, for example, to
determine the surface area of the walls in a room. This
is done by determining the total length of all walls and
multiplying this figure by the height of the room.
1. Select Painter’s Area from the group of special func-
tions.
2. Aim the tool at the target to measure the first room
length.
3. Press the “Measure” button.

room height is measured and displayed in the inter-
mediate result line. The painter’s area is calculated
immediately and shown in the result line.
NOTE Other areas may be added to or subtracted
from the painter's area. Use the right or left arrow
buttons to select plus or minus. Confirm by pressing
the “Measure” button. Then measure the length and
width of the area. The area is calculated immediately
and added to or subtracted from the painter’s area.
In the display you will see the result of the original
painter’s area calculation, the last length and width
measurements and resulting area, as well as the
newly calculated area to be added to or subtracted
from the painter’s area.

the tool further in the same direction.
The number of distance increments you have already
set out is shown on the right.
11. Press the “Measure” button to stop measuring.
NOTE When the distance to be set out is reached,
the currently used measuring reference is shown in
the display to aid marking.
NOTE As an alternative to entering the distance
manually, the distance to be set out may also be
measured with the tool. To do this, select the symbol
for single measurement and confirm your choice
by pressing the “Measure ” button. You can then
measure the distance you wish to set out.
7.7.5 Min/Max Delta function
The “Maximum” function is used mainly to determine
the length of diagonals, while the “Minimum” function
is used to check parallels and set up objects parallel to
each other, or to take measurements in situations where
access is difficult.
The “Maximum” function makes use of continuous meas-
uring mode. The value shown in the display is updated
whenever the measured distance increases.
The “Minimum” function also makes use of continuous
measuring mode. The value shown in the display is up-
dated whenever the measured distance decreases.
By combining the “Maximum” and “Minimum” functions,
differences in distance can be determined very quickly,
easily and reliably. The distance between a pipe and
a ceiling, or the distance between two objects even in
inaccessible locations, can thus be easily and reliably
determined.
1. Select the Min/Max Delta function from the group of
special functions.
2. Aim the range meter at the target.
3. Press the “Measure” button.
The tool begins measuring in continuous measuring
mode.
The values shown in the MIN and MAX display areas
are then updated whenever the measured distance
increases or decreases.
The difference between Min and Max is calculated
in the Delta field.
4. Press the “Measure” button to stop measuring.
The last distances measured are shown in the results
line.
7.7.6 Timer
The timer function works like the self-timer on a camera.
When you activate the timer function and then press the
“Measure” button, the measurement will be taken after a
delay of 2 seconds. To adjust the timer to a delay of 5
or 10 seconds, use the right arrow button to move to the
symbol that shows the seconds. The “Measure” button
can then be used to set the timer delay time. Use the right
or left arrow buttons to return to the “Measure” symbol
in order to take the delayed measurement. The timer can
be stopped by pressing the “C” button.
7.7.7 Offset function

Printed: 18.11.2013 | Doc-Nr: PUB / 5138735 / 000 / 02
The Offset function automatically adds or subtracts a
predefined value to or from all measurements. This value
can be entered manually or measured.
1. Select Offset from the group of special functions.
2. In order to enter the distance manually, use the
left or right arrow buttons to select the keyboard
symbol.
3. Confirm by pressing the “Measure” button.
4. Use the right or left arrow buttons to select the
corresponding digits.
5. Confirm the digits by pressing the “Measure” button.
6. To confirm the value, select the “tick” symbol in the
lower right corner.
7. Then use the left or right arrow buttons to select
the Offset symbol. The offset you have chosen will
then be shown in the upper area of the display.
The chosen offset will then be added to or subtrac-
ted from every measurement you take (depending
whether the value entered is preceded by a plus or
minus sign).
NOTE As an alternative to entering the offset dis-
tance manually, the offset may also be measured
with the tool. To do this, select the symbol for single
measurement and confirm your choice by pressing
the “Measure ” button. You can then measure the
desired offset distance.
7.7.8 Data memory
The tool saves measurements and the results of calcula-
tions continuously while in operation. Depending on the
scope of the function used, a total of up to 30 values,
including graphic symbols, are saved in this way.
When data memory is already filled with the 30 previous
sets of displayed data, the “oldest” set of data is deleted
when a new set of displayed data is saved.
Data memory can be completely cleared by pressing the
“C” button for approx. 2 seconds while data memory is
displayed.
8 Care and maintenance
8.1 Cleaning and drying
1. Blow dust off the lenses.
2. Do not touch the lens with the fingers.
3. Use only a clean, soft cloth for cleaning. If necessary,
moisten the cloth slightly with pure alcohol or a little
water.
NOTE Do not use any other liquids as these may
damage the plastic components.
4. The temperature limits for storage of your equipment
must be observed, especially in winter / summer.
8.2 Storage
Remove the tool from its case if it has become wet.
The tool, its carrying case and accessories should be
cleaned and dried (at maximum 40°C / 104°F). Repack
the equipment only once it is completely dry.
Check the accuracy of the equipment before it is used
after a long period of storage or transportation.
Remove the batteries from the tool before storing it for a
long period. Leaking batteries may damage the tool.
8.3 Transport
Use the Hilti packaging or packaging of equivalent quality
for transporting or shipping your equipment.
8.4 Calibration and adjustment of the laser
8.4.1 Calibration of the laser
Monitoring of measuring equipment for users certified in
accordance with ISO 900X: As specified in ISO 900X, you
may carry out the inspection and testing of the PD-E laser
range meter yourself (see ISO 17123-4: Field procedures
for testing geodetic and surveying instruments: Part 4,
electro-optical distance meters).
1. Select a readily accessible measuring distance of a
known length (approx. 1 to 5 meters / 3 to 15 feet)
which does not change over time and measure the
same distance 10 times.
2. Determine the mean deviation from the known dis-
tance. This value should be within the specified
accuracy tolerance for the tool.
3. Keep a record of this value and note the date when
the next test is due.
NOTE Repeat this test at regular intervals as well as
before and after important measuring tasks.
NOTE Apply a test and inspection confirmation
sticker to the PD-E and keep a record of the en-
tire monitoring, test and inspection procedure and
the results.
NOTE Please refer to the technical data contained
in the operating instructions and the information
concerning measuring accuracy.
8.4.2 Adjustment of the laser
To ensure correct adjustment of the laser range meter we
recommend that it is returned to a Hilti Service Center
for calibration. Accurate adjustment of the tool will be
confirmed by a calibration certificate.
