Measuring Reference Range

Range is specified between a minimum 2-inches to a maximum of 165-feet with an accuracy of 1/16”. Longer ranges will be found by the instrument but a variance in the accuracy may exist. At night or dusk the range may be greater than during daylight or if the target has poor reflective properties.

Target Surfaces

Measuring errors may occur when aiming at surfaces composed of colorless liquids (e.g. water), glass, Styrofoam or similar semi-permeable surfaces. Aiming at high gloss surfaces may deflect the laser beam and lead to measurement errors.

Hazards of Use

Be aware that errors in distance measurements may occur if the instrument is defective or has been dropped, been misused or modified.

Note

Conduct periodic test measurements to ensure the instrument is measuring accurately and consistently. This is most important if the instrument has been exposed to abnormal use. Always confirm accuracy before and during important measurements. Keep the laser distance measure optic clean and inspect for damage.
