Answers to questions about Lazorex — a laser device for measurements and drawings
Questions on laser room measurements and drawing construction
This page contains answers to questions about laser room measurement, measurement accuracy and working with the Lazorex.
A standard tape measure only measures individual values such as length, angle of inclination, and similar parameters, while Lazorex creates a vertex in the drawing with precise coordinates in the mobile application, combining all points into a single drawing.
No. Lazorex is designed as a professional tool for specialists and is not a household device.
No, for measurements the device must be mounted on a tripod or a telescopic pole to fix it in the plane of rotation.
Since the Lazorex MR101-2D measures points within a single plane of rotation, it is important that this plane is parallel to the horizon. If the device is tilted, the coordinates of the points will be at different heights, which will result in: distortion of proportions and angles in the drawing, incorrect side and diagonal lengths, the inability to accurately use the functions for extending sides and constructing intersections. To avoid these errors, it is recommended to level the device horizontally using the laser.
- distortion of proportions and angles in the drawing,
- incorrect side and diagonal lengths,
- the inability to accurately use the functions for extending sides and constructing intersections.
To avoid these errors, it is recommended to level the device horizontally using a laser.
The Lazorex device measures two parameters:
- point distance
- the angle of the laser direction.
Based on this data, the application calculates the coordinates of the points (X, Y) and automatically builds the drawing.
Next, the system calculates:
- point spacing
- area and perimeter
- wall corners
- the complete geometry of the room.
The distance from the device to the measured vertex can range from 0.1 m to 50 m. At the same time, by using the device relocation function, the overall size of the space to be measured is not limited.
Finished plans and drawings created in the Lazorex application have a practical accuracy of ±2 mm, which is sufficient for professional room measurements and working drawings.
The technical specifications of the device are as follows:
— distance measurement accuracy — up to ±1 mm,
— angle measurement accuracy — up to ±0.002°
with correct installation and compliance with operating conditions.
Angle accuracy is the maximum possible deviation when measuring the direction to a point. For Lazorex, this accuracy is ±0.002°. This means that even at long distances, the device provides high accuracy in calculating vertex coordinates.
Coordinate deviation at ±0.002° (under ideal conditions): at 15 m — up to 2 mm
This makes it possible to use Lazorex with millimeter-level accuracy indoors.
The measurement accuracy of Lazorex depends on a number of technical and external factors:
- Installation stability — the device must be securely fixed on a tripod without play or vibrations.
- Aiming — it is important to aim precisely at the center of the measured point, especially at long distances.
- Laser incidence angle — the highest accuracy is achieved when the beam hits the surface as close to perpendicular as possible. At shallow angles, the laser spot spreads across the surface, reflects unpredictably, and ambiguous or unstable measurements may occur.
- Surface type — it is preferable to use smooth, light, matte materials. Glossy, dark, or metallic surfaces can significantly reduce accuracy. Mirror-like metals may not reflect the beam at all — it is recommended to place a matte marker on such surfaces or use a laser target.
- Measurement horizontality (Lazorex MR101-2D model)
Since the Lazorex MR101-2D performs measurements in the plane of its rotation, it is important that this plane is horizontal.
For this purpose, it is recommended to use a laser level — it helps position the device so that all measured points are at the same height, eliminating coordinate distortions and improving plan accuracy. - Temperature range — Lazorex is designed to operate at temperatures from +4 °C to +40 °C. Outside this range, measurement accuracy may decrease.
- Impact of vibrations on measurement accuracy
To ensure high accuracy, Lazorex must remain stationary during measurement.
Yes, Lazorex supports multi-position measurement. The device can be repositioned, and the application will automatically merge all measurements into a single coordinate system by referencing previously measured points.
If there are obstacles (columns, partitions), the device can be set up in multiple positions. The application uses special alignment algorithms to accurately merge the drawing and work around areas with limited visibility.
The Lazorex kit includes special target stickers. They can be used for:
- improving laser visibility and reflection on dark, glossy, or metallic surfaces,
- precise targeting of inner corners where the laser spot may be distorted or hard to see,
- fixing the measurement point on complex areas (e.g., tile edges, profiles, cable channels, etc.).
The targets have a matte surface and reflect the laser beam well back to the receiver, increasing measurement reliability.
In this case, there are two working options:
Completion using adjacent points.
Accessible points on two intersecting planes are measured, after which the "Complete" mode is selected in the app. Lazorex automatically calculates the position of the inaccessible corner based on the room geometry.Skipping the point with later manual completion.
During measurement, the problematic point can be skipped and later added manually in the app by specifying the required dimensions and references.
Both methods make it possible to obtain correct room geometry without the need to directly measure angles. lfq pltcm tot hevsycre.
If the tripod on which Lazorex is mounted shifts or is accidentally bumped during measurement, this will disrupt the original reference point.
As a result:
- the coordinates of the current and all subsequent points will be calculated incorrectly,
- a shift and distortion of the geometry will appear in the drawing.
To avoid these errors, it is necessary to perform the device relocation procedure with reference to previously measured points — the software will automatically recalculate the coordinate system and restore accuracy. It is recommended to mount the device on a stable tripod or a telescopic ceiling pole and eliminate vibrations from external sources. Even minor oscillations can lead to coordinate errors of up to several millimeters.
It is best to use a standard power adapter with a voltage of 5 V and a current of 1 A.
More powerful chargers (2 A and higher) may cause the device to heat up, especially during prolonged charging.

All measurements are saved in the device memory within the application and are automatically transferred once the connection is restored. You will not lose any data — you can continue working from the same point.
Lazorex is designed to operate at temperatures from +4 °C to +40 °C. Outside this range, measurement accuracy may decrease due to the following factors:
- At low temperatures (< +4 °C), sensor sensitivity decreases, leading to unstable operation and increased measurement error.
- At high temperatures (> +40 °C) — when the indoor temperature exceeds 30 °C and the device is actively used, the laser module may overheat. In this case, the application will notify you, and measurement accuracy will drop sharply. It is recommended to turn the device off for a while and then continue measuring.
- Sudden temperature changes can cause condensation to form inside the device, which disrupts the operation of the optics and electronics. This is especially critical when moving from cold to warm environments.
It is recommended to use the device in stable indoor conditions, avoid heating from direct sunlight or cooling by drafts, and allow it to adapt to the new temperature for at least 15 minutes before starting work.
Lazorex 2D is primarily intended for indoor measurements.
Outdoor use is allowed only in dry weather and dust-free conditions. The device is not water- or dust-resistant (IP20 rating) and is not designed to operate in rain or harsh environments.
The Lazorex application supports working with multiple independent contours within a single drawing. This is convenient for measuring multiple rooms, niches, island partitions, or internal cutouts without affecting the main plan.
Each contour is created separately and can have its own height, which makes it possible to account for different ceiling levels and structural features of the room.
All contours are saved within a single drawing and are exported together as one unified drawing.
No, this function is currently under development. It is recommended to export the drawing to the required format after completing the measurements. In this case, it will be saved in the corresponding folder on the device.
After a new version of the application appears in Google Play or the App Store, it can be updated either manually or automatically.
The Lazorex mobile application is compatible with smartphones and tablets running Android 7.0+ and iOS 12+, provided they are equipped with Bluetooth 4.0 or higher. The Lazorex device uses Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE 4.2) technology, ensuring compatibility with most modern phones, including models with Bluetooth 5.0 / 5.1 / 5.2 (which are backward compatible with BLE 4.2).
The application does not require a постоянное internet connection and works offline. Devices with at least 2 GB of RAM are recommended for stable performance when creating drawings.
Yes, all measurements and drawings are performed locally. Internet access is required only during the initial launch of the device and its setup.
