A. Product Overview

The Metrix Plus DM 100 Laser Distance Meter 100m is designed for fast and accurate distance measurement without the inconvenience of using a conventional measuring tape over long distances.

It has a measuring range from 0.05 to 100 metres and can perform several measurement functions from one compact handheld instrument.

The DM 100 can measure:

• Distance
• Area
• Volume
• Pythagoras measurements
• Single measurements
• Continuous measurements
• Minimum and maximum measurements

The instrument also supports different units for various applications:

Distance: metres, feet and inches
Area: square metres and square feet
Volume: cubic metres and cubic feet

A historical memory function stores up to 20 groups of measurement data, making it easier to review previous readings while working on site.

The built in bi axis spirit bubble helps the user check the level of the instrument during measurement.

B. Working Principle

The Metrix Plus DM 100 Digital Laser Distance Meter measures distance using a laser beam directed toward the target surface.

When the measurement button is pressed, the instrument sends a laser signal toward the selected target.

The laser reaches the target surface and reflects back toward the instrument. The electronics inside the distance meter analyse the returning laser signal and calculate the distance between the instrument and the target.

The calculated distance is then shown on the digital display.

The manufacturer describes digital laser distance meters as generally using laser signal timing or phase comparison techniques for determining distance. The specific internal method used by the DM 100 is not separately identified in the supplied specifications.

C. Why Is the Metrix Plus DM 100 Used?

The Metrix Plus DM 100 is used when quick, repeatable and convenient measurements are required over distances of up to 100 metres.

Construction Site Measurement

Construction engineers and contractors can use the meter to measure rooms, walls, floors, structural spaces and distances between different points on site.

Interior Measurement

Interior designers can quickly determine room dimensions, wall dimensions, floor areas and other measurements required for planning layouts.

Real Estate Measurement

The DM 100 can be used to measure property dimensions, room sizes and floor areas during surveys and property inspections.

Area Calculation

Instead of manually recording length and width and then calculating the result separately, the meter can calculate area automatically.

Volume Calculation

The volume function allows users to determine the volume of rooms and enclosed spaces quickly.

Project Estimation

Measurements of distance, area and volume can help prepare estimates for construction materials, flooring, painting, interiors and similar work.

Indirect Height Measurement

Pythagoras functions are useful when directly measuring the required height or distance is inconvenient.

Long Distance Measurement

With a maximum specified range of 100 metres, the DM 100 can be used for measurements that would be inconvenient with a conventional short measuring tape.

Single Person Measurement

Laser measurement allows many measurements to be performed by one person without requiring another person to hold the opposite end of a measuring tape.
