Fluke 419D Laser Distance Meter manual
Add to My manuals38 Pages
Fluke 424D Laser Distance Meter is a professional-grade tool that can quickly and accurately measure distances, areas, and volumes. It uses advanced laser technology to get precise measurements, even over long distances.
Here are some of the key features and possible use cases of the Fluke 424D Laser Distance Meter:
-
Distance measurement: The Fluke 424D Laser Distance Meter can measure distances up to 100 meters (330 feet) with an accuracy of ±1.5 mm (±0.06 inches). This makes it ideal for measuring distances in large rooms, warehouses, or outdoor areas.
-
Area and volume measurement: The Fluke 424D Laser Distance Meter can also calculate the area and volume of rooms or objects. This is useful for tasks such as estimating the amount of paint needed to paint a room or calculating the cubic footage of a storage space.

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.

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.

Timer (419D/424D)
Fluke recommends that you use a time-delay for the most accurate measurements at long distances. This prevents

The seconds until measurement (for example, 59,
58, 57...) show as a countdown. The last 5 seconds count down with a beep. After the last beep, the
Meter makes the measurement and the value shows on the display.
Note
The timer is useful for all measurements.

Compass (424D)
The compass feature lets you know the view or direction as you make measurements. This is useful indoors to set the building plans in the correct direction. It is also useful to know the correct direction when you calculate the efficiency for a solar panel.
Tips:
• Make sure that the endpiece is folded in.
• When you use the compass feature, the Meter shows the calibration message. See Compass Calibration for more information.
• Compass arrows blink on the display if the Meter is tilted >20 ° end to end or >10 ° side to side.
• When you turn on the compass, the Meter shows the calibration message. See Manual Calibration for more information.
Push :
• 1x = Arrow points in north direction
• 2 seconds = Arrow points in direction of Laser beam and display shows the direction in degrees and an alpha symbol.
W Caution
To prevent incorrect direction readouts, do not use near magnets and magnetic devices.
Compass Calibration
Automatic Calibration
The compass sensor continuously collects and saves new calibration values in 60-second intervals.
Manual Calibration

To continue with the calibration:
3. Rotate the Meter 180 ° around the Z-axis. See
Figure 7.
4. Rotate the Meter 180 ° around the X-axis.
5. Rotate the Meter 180 ° around the Y-axis.

Magnetic Declination
The difference between the north geographic pole and the north magnetic pole is known as magnetic declination, or more plainly, declination. The angle of declination is different at different locations on the earth. The geographic and magnetic poles are aligned so declination is minimal. From some locations, the angle between the two poles can be fairly large.
Table 4 is a list of the current angles of declination by location. For other declination values, contact your local
Geomagnetic Institute.
To set the Meter with the correct compensation for your location:
1. Push at the same time.

Note
Measurement errors can occur if you point the laser at colorless liquids, glass, Styrofoam, semi-permeable surfaces, and high-gloss surfaces. The measurement time increases when you point the laser at dark surfaces.
A target plate is useful for long distance measurements if the target reflectivity and illumination is a problem.
Minimum/Maximum Tracking

The display shows the stake out distance in the summary line between the stake out point (a and then b) and the Meter (rear reference).
7. Move the Meter slowly along the stake out line the displayed distance decreases.
The arrows in the display q
indicate in which direction the Meter needs to be moved in order to achieve the defined distance (either a, or b).
Note
If the beeper feature is on, the Meter starts to beep at a distance of 0.1 m (4 in) from the next stake out point. As the Meter moves near to the stake out point, the beep changes and the arrows do not show on the display.
8. Push to stop the stake out function.

Corner Angle Measurement (424D only)
The Meter calculates the angles in a triangle with measurements from the three sides. As an example, use this function with a right-angle room corner. See
Figure 14 for more information.
To make corner angle measurements:
1x. (room corner) shows in the display.
2. Put marks for the reference points to the right and left
(d1/d2) of the angle for measurement.
to make a measurement of the first side of the triangle (d1 or d2).
to make a measurement of the second side of the triangle (d1 or d2).
to make a measurement of the third side of the triangle (d3).
6. The result shows in the summary line as the room triangle area.

Indirect Measurement
The Meter can calculate distances with Pythagoras’ theorem. With this function, you can find a distance with two auxiliary measurements, such as building height or width measurements. It is helpful to use a tripod for a height measurement that uses two or three measurements.
Note
Make sure that you use the correct sequence of measurement:
• All target points must be in a horizontal or vertical plane.
• For the best results, turn the Meter about a set point. An example of this is with the endpiece fully open and the Meter on a wall.
• Make sure that the first measurement and the measurement distance are at 90 ° angles.
• The minimum/maximum tracking is very helpful for 90 ° angle measurements. See
Minimum/Maximum Tracking.
