Point-N-Measure Digital Tape W5746: Complete User Manual & Guide
The Point-N-Measure Digital Tape W5746 is a versatile laser distance measurer designed to replace the clunky, physical tape measures of the past. Whether you are a DIY enthusiast, a real estate professional, or a contractor, this device offers precision and speed.
This comprehensive guide serves as your digital manual to help you master the W5746 and get the most out of its features. 1. Product Overview & Key Specifications
The W5746 uses ultrasonic or laser technology (model dependent) to calculate distances by measuring the time it takes for a signal to bounce off a solid object and return to the sensor. Measuring Range: Typically 2ft to 50ft (0.6m to 15m). Accuracy: +/- 0.5% to 1% of the distance. Power Source: 9V Battery (not included in all kits).
Units: Switchable between Imperial (Feet/Inches) and Metric (Meters). 2. Getting Started: Basic Operation Battery Installation Open the battery compartment on the back of the device. Snap in a fresh 9V alkaline battery. Point-N-Measure Digital Tape W5746 User Manual
Close the compartment. If the LCD screen doesn't turn on, ensure the polarity (+/-) is correct. Powering On/Off To Turn On: Press the READ or ON button once.
To Turn Off: Most models feature an auto-shutoff after 30–60 seconds of inactivity to save battery. Selecting the Measurement Point
The device can measure from the Base (bottom of the tool) or the Top. Ensure you know which setting is active so you don't accidentally add or subtract the length of the tool itself from your total. 3. How to Take Measurements Single Distance Measurement
Hold the device steady and point the laser/sensor at a flat target (like a wall).
Ensure there are no obstructions (furniture, plants) between you and the target.
Press the READ button. The distance will appear on the LCD screen. Calculating Area (Sq. Ft / m²) Press the AREA button. Measure the Length of the room (Press READ). Measure the Width of the room (Press READ).
The device will automatically multiply the two and display the total Area. Calculating Volume (Cu. Ft / m³) Press the VOL button.
Measure the Length, then the Width, then the Height of the space.
The device will calculate the cubic volume, perfect for HVAC or insulation projects. 4. Advanced Features
Memory (M+): Use the memory buttons to add multiple measurements together. This is helpful for measuring a perimeter or a series of windows. | Button | Function | | :--- |
Laser Pointer: The laser is for aiming purposes only. Note that the actual measurement is taken by the ultrasonic sensor; ensure the path is clear.
Clear/Delete: Use the C or CE button to wipe the current reading or clear the memory cache. 5. Troubleshooting & Maintenance
"Err" Message: This usually means the device is too close to a surface (under 2 feet) or the signal is being absorbed by a soft surface (like curtains). Try measuring against a solid, flat wall.
Inaccurate Readings: Ensure the device is held perfectly perpendicular to the target. An angled measurement will result in an incorrect distance.
Weak Display: This is a sign of a low battery. Replace the 9V battery immediately for the most accurate results. Safety Warning
Never point the laser into your eyes or the eyes of others. The laser can cause permanent retinal damage. Keep out of reach of children.
By following this manual, your Point-N-Measure W5746 will become an indispensable tool in your kit, saving you time and ensuring your projects are measured to perfection.
The Performance Tool Point-N-Measure Digital Tape W5746 is a 50-foot electronic, laser-based distance measurer designed to calculate area and volume without a physical tape. Key features include automatic unit calculations (feet, inches, cm), a memory "freeze" function, and auto-shutoff to preserve 9V battery life.

The Point-N-Measure Digital Tape (model W5746) has a standout feature: it combines a standard retractable steel tape (up to 16 ft) with a laser distance measurer (up to 50 ft) into one tool.
Here’s why that’s interesting in practice: Refer to your physical device while reading this
If you need help with specific controls (e.g., how to switch from tape to laser, or resetting the digital display), let me know and I can break down those steps from the manual.
The Performance Tools W5746 Point-N-Measure is an ultrasonic device that calculates distances up to 50 feet and measures area, requiring a clear, solid target for accuracy. It operates on a 9-volt battery and includes features such as memory storage, auto shut-off, and distance calculations, with instructions suggesting placement against a wall for consistent results.
