We will study all three methods, but first let's review a few basic points about units of measurement.

Transcription:

The Construction Master Plus EZ (CMP EZ) is the newest in Calculated Industries line of award-winning Construction Master construction-math calculators. The big difference between the CMP EZ and the other models is that, in addition to many more built-in calculations, the CMP EZ is a Prompting Calculator. With a Prompting Calculator, you select a function and then scroll through a series of prompts for quantities, measurements, placement, materials and other possible inputs. After entering the inputs, you can then scroll through all the available calculations and solutions. You can also change an input (or multiple inputs) and then re-solve the problem, instantly seeing how the new entry changes calculations without having to re-enter the entire problem.

The Construction Master Plus EZ has Basic and Advanced solutions (lengths, angles, quantities, etc.) for these construction calculations: Rafters Hip/Valley Rafters Jack Rafters Stairs Other solutions include Square-Ups, Areas and Volumes Circular Arcs Rake Walls Arch Studs Balusters -- Cap Wall & Open Wall Elliptical Arches Crown Molding Compound Angles Polygons Spacing Material Calculations for Blocks, Drywall, Fencing, Footings, Pavers, Roofing, Studs, Tile and Grout 1

Key Definitions Basic Function Keys O On/Clear Key Turns on power. When not in a prompting sequence, pressing once clears the last entry and what is displayed. Pressing twice clears all non-permanent values. Within a prompting input sequence, pressing once clears the entry and leaves the prompt displayed. Pressing twice exits the prompt function, but does not clear non-permanent values. A third press clears non-permanent values. Within an output sequence, pressing once exits the prompt function, but does not clear non-permanent values. Pressing twice clears non-permanent values. o Off Turns all power off. Clears all non-permanent memory. 3

4 +-x = Arithmetic operation keys 0 9 and. Keys used for entering numbers. C Convert Used with the dimensional keys to convert between units or with other keys to access special functions. R Recall Used with other keys to recall stored values and settings. RR Memory Clear Clears Accumulative Memory and displays total. CR Store Used for storing values. M Accumulative Memory Adds displayed value to Accumulative Memory. CM M- Subtracts displayed value from Accumulative Memory.

Dimensional Function Keys y Yards Identifies entry as yards, with repeated presses toggling between linear, area and volume units. f Feet Identifies entry as Feet, with repeated presses toggling between linear, area and volume units. Also used with i and / keys for entering Feet-Inch values. Repeated presses during conversions toggle between Feet-Inch-Fractions and Decimal Feet. i Inch Identifies entry as Inches, with repeated presses toggling between linear, area and volume units. Entry can be whole or decimal numbers. Also used with / for entering fractional inch values (e.g., 9i1/2). Repeated presses during conversions toggle between fractional and decimal inches. 5

6 / Fraction Bar Used to enter fractions. Fractions can be entered as proper (1/2, 1/8, 1/16) or improper (3/2, 9/8). If the denominator (bottom) is not entered, the calculator s fractional accuracy setting is automatically used. Results are always shown in typical building fractional format. m Meters Identifies entry as meters, with repeated presses toggling between linear, area and volume units. Converts dimensional value to units of meters, with repeated presses toggling between meters and millimeters. C7 Centimeters (cm) Identifies entry as centimeters, with repeated presses toggling between linear, area and volume units. C9 Millimeters (mm) Identifies entry as millimeters, with repeated presses toggling between linear, area and volume units.

C8 C2 Board Feet (Bd Ft) Enters or converts cubic values to Board Feet. One Board Foot is equal to 144 cubic inches. Acre Enters or converts a square value to Acres. Weight and Volume Function Keys C5 Weight per Volume (wt/vol) Stores a new weight volume as tons per cubic yard or other format as shown below. Default value is 1.5 tons per cubic yard. Tons per cubic yard Pounds per cubic yard Pounds per cubic feet Pounds per cubic inch Metric tons per cubic meter Kilograms per cubic meter C4 Pounds (lbs) Enters or converts a weight or volume value to pounds. C3 Metric Tons (met ton) Enters or converts a weight or volume value to metric tons. 7

C6 C1 Tons Enters or converts a weight or volume value to tons. Kilograms (kg) Enters or converts a weight or volume value to kilograms. 8 Miscellaneous Functions < Backspace Arrow Used to delete entries one keystroke at a time (unlike the O function, which deletes the entire entry). % Percentage Used to find a given percentage of a number. C% x 2 Squares the value on the display. C0 Total Cost (Cost) Calculates total cost based on entered or stored Unit Cost.

CR0 Unit Cost Stores the Unit Cost for calculating the total cost. To recall this setting, press R0. Default is 0.00 (no Unit Cost). C. Degrees:Minutes:Seconds (dms deg) Converts between D:M:S and decimal degree formats; repeated presses will toggle between the two formats. C= Square Root ( x) Calculates the Square Root of the number on the display. C+ Pi Displays value of π (3.1415927). C- Change Sign (+/ ) Toggles displayed value between negative and positive value. Cx Clear All Returns all stored values to the default settings. Does not affect Preference Settings. 9

C Reciprocal (1/x) Finds the Reciprocal of a number (e.g., 8C = 0.125). 10 Construction and Prompting Keys S Square Up Calculates the Square-Up (diagonal) Length, Area and Perimeter when Length and Width are entered. CS LxWxH Calculates Volume, Wall Surface Area, Wall + Ceiling Area, Square-Up, Area and Perimeter when Length, Width and Height are entered. r Rafter (Basic) Calculates basic lengths and angles for Rafters.

Cj Jack Rafter (Advanced) Calculates advanced lengths and angles for Regular and Irregular Jack Rafters. s Stair (Basic) Calculates values for Stairs when Floor-to-Floor Rise and/or Stair Run is entered. Cs Stair (Advanced) Calculates values for Stairs, allowing for Upper and Lower Flooring Thickness, Nosing Length and Riser Thickness for additional calculations. c Circular Calculates for Diameter, Radius, Perimeter or Area when one of these values is entered. Enter Height and one of the other four values to calculate Cones and Columns. 11

12 Cc Rake Wall Calculates various stud lengths for Rake Walls with or without bases. a Arc Calculates values for Chord Length, Arc Height, Radius, Arc Length/Angle, and Arc Segment Area. Ca Arch Studs Calculates Arch Stud lengths for Arched Walls. b Baluster Calculates for Cap Wall Balusters, where all baluster lengths are the same. Cb Open Baluster Calculates for Open Wall Balusters, which have different-length balusters on a tread. N Materials Accesses functions for Blocks, Drywall, Fencing, Footings, Pavers, Roofing, Studs and Tile.

CN Extras Accesses functions for Elliptical Arches, Crown Molding, Compound Angles, Polygons and Spacing. Also used to access Preferences for customizable settings (see Preference Settings section). ^ Up Arrow Used to scroll up (or back) through prompts, entries and solutions. v Down Arrow Used to scroll down (or forward) through prompts, entries and solutions. e Enter Used to enter or accept values. Ce Solve Used to skip the remaining entry prompts and proceed to the first available solution for the chosen function. 13

Using the Construction Master Plus EZ 14 This Pocket Reference Guide has step-by-step keystroked examples for some of the CMP EZ s functions. You can see, and download, a complete illustrated User s Guide with examples for all of the CMP EZ s functions at www.calculated.com/4067/ug. The Construction Master Plus ez is a Prompting Calculator. To use it you simply select a function and then scroll through a series of prompts for quantities, measurements, placement, materials and other possible inputs. After entering the inputs, you can then scroll through all the available calculations and solutions. You can also change an input (or multiple inputs) and then re-solve the problem, instantly seeing how the new entry changes calculations without having to re-enter the entire problem. You can also use the Ce (Solve) function to skip any remaining input prompts and go directly to the solution.

Auto Shut-Off and Auto Shutdown The LCD display on your calculator is designed to shut off after 4 minutes of non-use. If the display powers off, just press the O key to power it back on. All values are maintained. Your most recent entry will be displayed and you can scroll through or continue to enter values for the same calculation you were working on before the display shut off. After 4 hours of non-use, the calculator will shut down and all temporary settings and values are cleared. U.S. and Metric Modes The Construction Master Plus ez can be used in either U.S. Mode (the calculator s default setting), which uses inches, or Metric Mode, which uses millimeters, as a basis for entries and calculations. To change the Mode, go to Preferences, using the Extras function (CN). For keystroked examples on changing and setting Preferences, see the User s Guide. 15

16 Default Values The table below shows the calculator s U.S. and Metric Default Values. Default Values can be changed by entering a new value.
