GENERAL
Before carrying out measurements focus the eyepiece.
If the unit shows „---" the target reflection is too weak
or the target is beyond the measuring range.
The measuring range depends on the reflectivity of the
target such as colour, surface, size, slope angle. Bright
colours, shining surfaces, large targets, flat angles
will increase the measuring range. Also the lighting
condions will affect the range: the less light the farther
the measuring range.
The instrument emits an invisible laser beam through-
out the laser emitting window which will be reflected
from the object to be measured and received through
the laser receiving window. The unit determins the
distance by a time calculation.
To carry out a measurement aim at the target; it should
be centred within the centre circle.
Once the crosshair appears around the centre circle
when carrying out a measurement the laser beam is
active. As soon as a distance has been determined
release the measuring button. Now the laser detection
is finished (the crosshair disappears).

If you use the angle sensor (9)
1. the slope angle to the target will be displayed
2. the angle-compensated distance will be determined
and displayed (application i.e. golf).
Maximum compensation range of the slope sensor:
± 20°

CARRY OUT MEASUREMENTS (switch 9 is on the
right)
Press button to carry out a single measurement.
Keep button pressed for 2 seconds to start the
