Storing / Recalling Values The DigiRoller Plus II has several keys that can be used to store and recall values: ™ The DigiRoller Plus II can also store and recall values in the [H], [LxWxH], [AutoCount], and [Area#] keys. ™ To recall any of the values above, press the [Rcl] key and then press the key that has the value you want to display. For example, to recall the length that was rolled, press [Rcl] [L].
Deleting Stored Measurements To permanently delete a stored value, press the delete key [DEL] and then the key that has the value you want to delete. Be careful when pressing the [DEL] key, as it will permanently erase the stored value of the next key pressed. If you accidentally press the [DEL] key, press [RESET] to prevent any stored value from being erased.
Taking Wall-to-Wall Measurements Unlike other measuring wheels, the DigiRoller Plus II has a built-in function which enables you to measure true wall-to-wall distances (taking into account the wheel’s radius when measuring up to a wall). The wheel radius key will add the radius of the wheel to the measurement. ™ To measure a room accurately, press the wheel radius key whenever your measurements begin or end against a wall (see instructions below).
Taking Area Measurements Your DigiRoller Plus II automatically calculates areas once you’ve rolled a length and width. Remember, press [RESET] to begin each new measurement. ™ 1. Roll the first distance. Press the length key [L] and your rolled distance will be automatically stored as the length. 2. Press [RESET]. Roll the second distance and press the width key [W]. 3. Press [RESET]. Press the [L x W] key to calculate the area.
Calculating Complex Areas You can calculate complex areas using the DigiRoller Plus II easily. Using the memory keys [M+], [M-], you can add and subtract measurements from your total area. See the diagram below. ™ To find the total area, you will need to divide the area to be measured into sections (see diagram below) and find the area for each section. Then you can subtract the empty area from the total area.
Step: Key: [RESET] Roll width and store Find area Store area in memory [W] [L x W] [M+] Step 2 - Find area to be subtracted Step: Key: [RESET] Roll length of empty space and store [L] [RESET] Roll width and store Find area [W] [L x W] Subtract from total in memory Calculate actual area 20 — DigiRoller Plus II ™ [M-] [Rcl] [M+]
ADDITIONAL DIGIROLLER PLUS II FEATURES ™ Lighting the Display Background The DigiRoller Plus II has a built-in back-light to light up the display so that measurements can be seen in poorly-lit environments. ™ 1. Press the [Light] key to light up the display. 2. Press the key again to turn the light off. Using the light consumes battery power more rapidly, thus the DigiRoller Plus II will automatically turn off the light after approximately thirty seconds of inactivity.
Taking Volume Measurements The DigiRoller Plus II is programmed to quickly and easily calculate volumes if you’ve rolled in a height or if you’ve set a fixed height. ™ You can roll or set a height for each of the nine Area Number storage registers. Once you roll or set a height, it is used for all subsequent volume calculations unless you change it. Remember to press [Reset] to begin each new measurement.
Calculating Volume Using a Fixed Height To set or program a fixed height, for example, eight feet seven inches, do the following: Step Enter program mode Key [Set] [H] The Feet-Inch annunciator will start flashing. Press [M+] if you want to change the units of measurement. The display will scroll through the various units of measurement. Press [Set] to select the unit of measure and begin storing. The first zero (0) will start flashing.
Now you can find the volume using the fixed height you’ve just set. Remember to press [RESET] to begin each new measurement.
Storing / Recalling Multiple Measurements Your DigiRoller Plus II has a unique [Area#] key used for storing and recalling multiple measurements. You can store length, width, height, area, and volume for each of the nine [Area#] registers. You can recall these measurements later, even if you turn off the DigiRoller Plus II (for example, to review your measurements back at the office). When you recall your measurements, you can also view totals for each (L, W, H, LxW, LxWxH, Wall Area).
Remember to press [RESET] to begin each new measurement.
Continue the above steps for each area you wish to calculate and store, up to nine areas. If you try to store a tenth value, the word “FULL” will display. Press [RESET] to clear this error message. If you want to add this last value, you must then delete and/or edit the values stored in the Area Number registers. See the “Editing Stored Measurements” section (page 29) for information on editing values in the Area Number registers.
Recall Area #2 [Area#] Recall length [L] Recall width [W] Recall area [LxW] Recall total area [Area#] Continue until you have reviewed all your stored measurements. To exit the Area Number review mode, press [RESET].
Editing Stored Measurements Duplicating values in an Area Number register: Step Key Find Area Number Register with the value you want to duplicate [Area#] Find the value you want to duplicate [L] OR [W] OR [H] Store measurement in permanent memory [M+] Find Area Number with the value you want to replace [Area#] Recall replacement value [Rcl] [M+] Replace old value with duplicated value [Set] [L] OR [Set] [W] To replace a value in an Area Number register: Step Key Roll measurement [Start/Sto
Step Key Find the value you want to replace [L] OR [W] OR [H] Recall replacement value [Rcl] [M+] Replace old value with new value [Set] [L] OR [Set] [W] Deleting a value in an Area Number register: Step Key Find Area Number Register with value you want to delete [Area#] Delete value [DEL] [L] OR [DEL] OR [DEL] OR [DEL] OR [DEL] [W] [H] [LxW] [LxWxH] Note that deleting [LxW] and/or [LxWxH] also deletes the individual measurements contained (length, width, height).
Deleting All Area Number Measurements Use the following special three key sequence to clear all measurement values previously stored in the [Area#] key: press [Set] [DEL] [Area#]. CAUTION: ALL stored values in [Area#] will be erased at once.
Taking Wall Area Measurements The DigiRoller Plus II can calculate the total wall surface area of a room. Wall area is defined as: ™ ([Length x 2] x Height) + ([Width x 2] x Height) You will only need to roll a length and width, and roll or set a height. Then you can calculate the total wall surface area of that room. See the “Taking Volume Measurements” section (page 22) for information on rolling or setting a fixed height.
Remember to press [RESET] to begin each new measurement.
Using AutoCount/Fixed Distance Mode The DigiRoller Plus II has an AutoCount mode that allows you to count how many times you’ve rolled a programmed distance (that you’ve set). If the bell is on, you will hear a short beep each time you roll that distance and the counter in the upper left of the display will increase by one. ™ For example, you want to count the number of times that you roll 6 feet 8 inches.
Enter 8 inches [M+] (press eight times) Store inch measurement Clear the display [Set] [RESET] Begin rolling. The unit will automatically count the number of times you roll six feet eight inches and beep each time. Deleting All Stored Values To clear all registers and stored values, press [Set] [DEL] [DEL].
