Indirect measurement with

Pythagorean theorem

In the meter, there are three default

modes to measure single distance of

triangle with Pythagorean theorem.

Users can make indirect measurements

easily in specific complex environment.

can be used for mode selection:

1) Press key. On the screen:

hypotenuse is flashing

Press key, measure the length

of the hypotenuse with dotted line

according to prompts on the screen

(a)

Press key to measure the length

of the leg with dotted line (b)

The meter will automatically calculate

the length of the leg with solid line (x)

11 12

2) Press key twice. On the screen:

erect side is flashing.

Press key, measure the length of

one of legs with dotted line according

to prompts on the screen (a)

Press key to measure the length

of another leg with dotted line (b)

The meter will automatically calculate

the length of the hypotenuse with

solid line (x)

3) Press three times. On the screen:

hypotenuse is flashing

Press key, measure the length of

one of hypotenuses with dotted line

according to prompts on the screen

(a)

Press key to measure the length of

the hypotenuse with dotted line in the

figure (b)

Press key to measure the length of

another hypotenuse with dotted line in

the figure (c) The meter will automatically

work out the length of the leg with solid

line (x)

In the Pythagorean measurement mode,

leg length should be less than

hypotenuse length, the meter would

calculate, otherwise, the device will

show error signal prompt.

13 14

In the Pythagorean measurement mode,

to ensure measurement accuracy, it

should ensure to measure from the

same starting point, and measure in

hypotenuse, leg order.

Add/subtract measurement

function:

Cumulative or inverse cumulative

operation can be done for single

distance measurement with add/subtract

operation.

Press key, “+” will display in the main

display area, enter the cumulative

measurement mode. Accumulated value

of the last measurement value and the

current measurement value will display

on the screen.

Press key, “-” will display in the main

display area, enter the inverse cumulative

measurement mode. Difference value of

the last measurement value and the

current measurement value will display

on the screen.

Browse recordings:

Short press key to search the stored

measurement data, use key or

key to move forward or backward for

browsing. Or long press to clear all

stored recordings.

Store and browse:

Store recordings

If the current data is valid in the

measurement mode, long press key

for 3 seconds, the current measurement

data will be automatically stored in the

meter memory. MS6460 can store 20

pcs at most.

Note: In harsh environments, such as:

too strong sunshine, too large ambient

temperature fluctuation, weak reflection

effect of reflective surface, low battery,

measurement result would have large

error.

Daily maintenance of meter

• Do not place the meter in hot and

humid environment to store for long

time. If the meter is not used for long

time, please remove the battery and

place the meter into the included

meter case in a cool and dry place.
