Introduction
The Fluke 414D, 419D, 424D Laser Distance Meters
(Meter or Product) are professional-grade laser distance
meters. Use these Meters to quickly and accurately get
the distance to a target, the area, and the volume
measurements.
This Meter is better than an ultrasonic device because it
uses laser light waves and measures their reflection. The
Meter includes:
•Most advanced technology for distance
measurements
•More accurate measurement
•Longer measurement distance – model dependent
This manual identifies when a feature is
model-dependent. If not identified, all models include the
feature.

compromised.
•Do not use the Product around explosive gas,
vapor, or in damp or wet environments.
•Do not use the Product if it operates incorrectly.
•Do not use the Product if it is damaged.
•Disable the Product if it is damaged.
•Do not look into the laser. Do not point the laser
directly at persons or animals or indirectly off
reflective surfaces.
•Do not look directly into the laser with optical
tools (for example, binoculars, telescopes,
microscopes). Optical tools can focus the laser
and be dangerous to the eye.
•Do not open the Product. The laser beam is
dangerous to eyes. Have the Product repaired
only through an approved technical site.
•Remove the batteries if the Product is not used
for an extended period of time, or if stored in
temperatures above 50 °C. If the batteries are not
removed, battery leakage can damage the
Product.
•Replace the batteries when the low battery
indicator shows to prevent incorrect
measurements.

Multifunctional Endpiece
The 419D and 424D Meters adapt to multiple
measurement situations with the multifunctional endpiece.
See Figure 2:
•For measurements from an edge, fold out the
endpiece (90 °) until it locks into place. See Figure 3.
•For measurements from a corner, fold out the
endpiece (90 °) until it locks into place. Push the
endpiece lightly to the right side to fold it out fully. See
Figures 2 and 4.
•A built-in sensor automatically senses the orientation
of the endpiece and adjusts the zero point.
