Measuring height, length and width of a room using the Zircon DM S40 Sonic Measure

  • You will need to measure room height, length and width (floor to ceiling, and walls).
  • Be sure to aim the device straight towards the solid surface (windows included). Avoid diagonal readings and readings that contain obstructions.

  • Ask yourself if the reading makes sense. There are instances where the measuring device is not measuring to the wall that you intend to measure. It may be effected by people, protruding walls, pillars or other objects.
  • Some surfaces do not provide accurate readings, like: sound-dampening tiles or heavy curtains.
  • If you cannot obtain an accurate reading with the sonic measure, estimate the distance by pacing or walking off the distance.
