LED Indicators

The LED indicators on LX1 provide real-time feedback while measuring.

They guide you on:

  • When to start moving

  • When to pause

  • When a point has been captured

  • Which reference point is active when measuring features such as doors and windows

The device LEDs and the app timer bar work together to show the same timing information.

By default, Moasure LX1 automatically switches itself off after 30 seconds of inactivity. You can adjust the device's disconnection time by following these steps


LED Quick Reference

Use this table as your simple guide while measuring:

LED State
Meaning
What to Do

Solid green (one side)

Ready to move

Start moving

Flashing green (active side)

Measuring (ready to pause)

Continue moving smoothly

Flashing yellow / amber

Taking too long

Pause now

Flashing red

Time exceeded

PAUSE NOW

Red (while still)

Waiting for stillness / laser

Hold steady

Green (after pause)

Point captured

Continue measuring

How Timing Feedback Works

As you move between points:

In the app

  • The timer bar changes colour: Green → Yellow → Red

On the device

  • A single LED on the active reference point flashes and changes colour: Green → Yellow → Red

Both indicate the same timing — you can follow either.


Colour Guidance

🟢 Green - Pause in the Green Zone

  • App: Timer bar is in the green zone

  • Device: Flashing green LED on the left or right active reference point

Action: Continue moving or pause confidently within 6 seconds.

Aim to pause while in the green zone for better accuracy

🟡 Yellow / Amber - Pause Now

  • App: Timer bar turns yellow / amber

  • Device: Flashing yellow / amber LED

Action: Pause now.

Pause Now: Flashing amber indicates that you need to find a pause point soon or risk the LED transitioning into a Flashing Red LED

🔴 Red - Time Exceeded

  • App: Timer bar turns red

  • Device: Flashing red LED

Action: Pause immediately - accuracy will be affected


After You Pause

Waiting for Stillness

IMAGE HERE (Pic 12)

LX1 is waiting for the device to remain fully still.

Action: Hold steady — do not move.


Point Captured

IMAGE HERE (Pic 13)

The point has been successfully recorded.

Action: Continue measuring.


LED Progress (Timing Build)

IMAGE HERE (Pic 11)

As you move, LEDs build across the strip to show elapsed time.

  • Fewer LEDs → early in movement

  • More LEDs → approaching time limit

This provides an additional visual guide alongside colour changes.


Reference Edge Indicator

IMAGE HERE (Pic 21)

The small side LEDs show which reference point is active.

  • Left LED on → Left edge point is active

  • Right LED on → Right edge point is active

This determines which side of the device is used when measuring features such as:

  • Doors

  • Windows

  • Stairs

  • Wardrobes/Closets

Tip: Always ensure the correct reference point is selected before placing the device against a surface.


Best Practice

  • Move at a steady, controlled pace

  • Avoid stopping mid-movement

  • Keep LX1 flat and stable when pausing

  • Watch either the app timer bar or device LEDs

  • Aim to pause while still in green


Key Takeaway

  • The app and device show the same timing feedback

  • Green = ideal

  • Yellow / Amber = act

  • Red = urgent

Maintaining a smooth rhythm and pausing within the green window will give the most accurate results.
