Welcome To G-TV!
Today I will be showing you Fluke’s 411D Series Distance Meters.
The 411D is a professional-grade laser distance meter used to quickly and accurately determine
the distance to a target, the area bounded by two distances, or the volume within three
measurements.
It uses some of the most advanced technology for measuring distances, reducing estimation
errors.
The 411 D confidently measures distances up to 30 meters or 100 feet, with an accuracy
of 3 millimeters or 1/8th of an inch.
To power on the distance meter, press the measure key.
Next, I will set the measuring plane to either be configured from the front edge or the rear
edge.
The standard setting is the rear edge.
For measuring from the front edge, I will quickly push the unit key here and the distance
meter will then measure distance from the device’s front edge.
To revert back to the rear edge mode, I will push the unit key once more and the device
will be able to measure distance from the rear edge of the meter.
To change the unit of measurement, I will press and hold the unit key for several seconds.
For every time the key is pushed like this, the device switches to the next measuring
unit.
The possible units include: meters with millimeter display, feet inch fractional, with a summary
row up to 1/16th inch and a 2nd row up to 1/8th inch, and inch fractional, with a summary
row up to 1/16th inch and a 2nd row up to 1/8th inch.
For measuring individual distances, press the measure key briefly and aim the laser
at the target area.
Then press the measure key again and the device will display the results immediately.
For continuous measuring, press and hold the measure key for a few seconds.
The distance meter will be continuous measuring until the measure button is pushed again.
For the add function, I can measure the first distance and then press the plus key here.
This will enable the device to add the second measurement to the first one.
The subtraction function works in the same way, but I will push the minus key instead
of the plus key after the first measurement.
Results are displayed in the summary row with the previous value in the second row.
To calculate the area, press the area/volume/height key on the left once.
The volume symbol will appear on the display.
I can press the measure key to measure the first distance such as length and then again
to measure the second distance, which could be the width.
The results will appear in the summary row with the respective measured distance to the
next measurement in the second row.
To measure space volume, I will press the area/volume/height key twice instead of once
as before.
The volume symbol appears on the device.
I will need three measurements, the length, width and height.
I will push the measure key for the first distance, and again for the second.
Finally the third distance to calculate the total volume.
Results will appear in the summary row with the respective measured distance to the next
measurement in the second row.
The last function available is Pythagoras.
To get to this function, I will push the area/volume/height key three times.
The Pythagoras symbol will appear.
I will push the measure key to find the first distance, such as the diagonal measurement.
Then I will press the measurement key again to find the second distance or horizontal
distance.
The results will appear in the summary.
