Congratulations on the purchase of laser distance meter ADA COSMO MINI!
Permitted use
· Measuring distances
· Computing functions, e.g. areas, volumes, Pythagorean calculation
The safety regulations and instructions along with the operating manual should be read carefully before
initial operation.The person responsible for the instrument must ensure that equipment is used in accor-
dance with the instructions. This person is also accountable for the deployment of personnel and for their
training and for the safety of the equipment when in use.

SAFETY INSTRUCTION
Prohibited use
Please follow up instructions given in operating manual.
Do not use instrument in explosive environment (lling station, gas equipment, chemical production and so on).
Do not remove warning labels or safety instructions.
Do not open instrument housing, do not change it’s construction or modication.
Do not stare at beam. Laser beam can lead to eye injury (even from greater distances).
Do not aim laser beam at persons or animals.
Opening of the equipment by using tools (screwdrivers, etc.), as far as not specically permitted for certain cases.
Inadequate safety precautions at the surveying site (e.g. when measuring on the roads, construction sites and so on).
Use the instrument in the places where it could be dangerous: on the air transport, near manufacturers,
production facilities, in the places where the work of laser distance meter can lead to the harmful effects on
people or animals.

Reference setting
Default reference setting is from the rear of the device. Press and hold button (2) for more than 2 sec to set the reference:
the front or the rear. You will see the reference symbol (2) on the display.
Selecting Units
Instrument is switched ON. Press and hold button (1) for 8 sec. Selected unit will be shown on the display
(ft/m). When you switch ON the instrument again DO NOT press and hold button (1) for 8 sec if you don’t
want to change the units of measurement.
MEASUREMENTS
Single distance measurement
Press and hold button (1) for 2 sec to activate the laser. When in continuous laser mode, press this button to
trigger the distance measurement directly. The instrument will give acoustical signal. The result is displayed
immediately.

INSTRUMENTS
Continuous Measurement
Press and hold the button (1) for about 2 seconds to start continuous measuring.
FUNCTIONS
Area
Press the button (2) once.The symbol “area” is displayed. Press button (1) to take the rst measurement (for
example, length). Measured value is displayed in the second line.
Press button (1) to take the second measurement (for example, width). Measured value is displayed in the
second line. The result of measured area is displayed in the rst line.
Volume
For volume measurements, press button (2) twice until the indicator for volume measurement appears on
the display.
Press button (1) to take the rst measurement (for example, length). Measured value is displayed in the
second line.
Press button (1) to take the second measurement (for example, width). Measured value is displayed in the

second line.
Press button (1) to take the third measurement (for example, height). Measured value is displayed in the
second line. The volume value will be displayed in the rst line.
Indirect measurement
Pythagorean measurement is used in the condition that the objective needing to be measured is covered or
has no effective reecting surface and can’t be measured directly.
Make sure you adhere to the prescribed sequence of measurement:
All target points must be in a horizontal or vertical plane.
The best results are achieved when the instrument is rotated about a xed point (e.g. with the positioning
bracket fully folded out and the instrument placed on a wall).
Be sure that the rst measurement and distance are measured at right angles.
Indirect measurement – determing a distance using 2 auxilary measurements
This function is used when height and distance can’t be measured directly.
Press button (2) 3 times. The symbol “triangle” is displayed. The distance to be measured is blinking in
