2.3 Intended use

This instrument is designed to measure distances. The measured value, setting, and instrument status can be viewed on the display. A laser beam is emitted and then sent back to the laser distance measurement instrument from a reected surface. This is used to calculate the distance. The range depends on the model of the laser distance measurement instrument, on reectivity, and on the properties of the reective surface.

*When measuring a target with 100% reectivity (e.g. a painted white wall), with low backlight and an operating temperature of 25°C. Under unfavorable conditions, e.g direct sunlight, non-reective surfaces or measurements on glass or shiny surfaces, the inaccuracy can increase and measuring errors can therefore occur. The reach of the visible laserpoint always depends on the ambient conditions. **This degree of precision applies when measuring distances of between 0.2 to 10 m. When measuring distances of between 10 m and 40 m, the maximum tolerance may decrease by 0.1 mm/m. ***When operated at room temperature.

4.4 Usage Hazards

4.4.1 General

WARNING

Missing or incomplete instructions may result in improper or incorrect use. This can cause accidents with serious damage to persons, property, assets and the environment.

Follow the manufacturer’s and operator’s safety instructions. Protect equipment and accessories from being accessed by children.

WARNING

Blinding by laser radiation can indirectly lead to serious accidents, especially for people who are driving a vehicle or operating machinery. Do not look into the laser beam.

Do not set up the laser beam and the laser plane at eye level or aim at people.

CAUTION

A fall, longer storage, transportation or other mechanical eects can lead to erroneous measurement results. Check the unit for damage before use. Do not use damaged equipment.

Repairs must only be performed by SOLA.

4.4.2 Batteries

DANGER

Mechanical damage can cause batteries to leak, explode or catch ﬁre or trigger the release of toxic substances.

Batteries and rechargeable batteries must not be opened or exposed to mechanical loads. Repairs must only be performed by SOLA.

Page 10

WARNING

High ambient temperatures and immersion into liquids can cause batteries to leak, explode or catch ﬁre or trigger the release of toxic substances.

Protect batteries and rechargeable batteries from mechanical damage during transport. Do not overheat batteries and rechargeable batteries or expose them to ﬁre. Avoid the ingress of moisture into batteries and rechargeable batteries. Do not use damaged batteries or rechargeable batteries. Perform a proper disposal

(see Chapter 11 / Disposal)

WARNING

A short-circuiting or unintended use can cause batteries to overheat and create an injury or ﬁre hazard.

Do not transport or store batteries in the pockets of garments. Do not bring the battery contacts in contact with jewellery, keys, or other electrically conductive

objects. Do not charge the batteries. Do not discharge the batteries through short-circuiting. Do not solder the batteries in the device. Do not mix old and new batteries, and do not mix batteries from dierent manufacturers or with a

diering type designation.

WARNING

If disposed of improperly third parties can possibly be seriously injured and the environment polluted. Burning plastic components generates toxic fumes which may impair health. Batteries / rechargeable batteries may explode if they are damaged or heated excessively, and thereby cause poisoning, burning, corrosion or environmental contamination. If disposed of negligently unauthorized persons are able to use the product improperly.

The product must not be disposed of together with household waste. Dispose of the device and

accessories properly

(see Chapter 11 / Disposal)

Protect the product against access by unauthorized persons at all times, and especially children.

4.5 ELECTROMAGNETIC COMPATIBILITY (EMC)

The electromagnetic compatibility is the ability of the product to function in an environment where electromagnetic radiation and electrostatic discharge are present, without causing electromagnetic interference to other devices.

4.5.1 Interference with other devices by VECTOR 50

Although the product meets the strict requirements of the relevant directives and standards, SOLA cannot completely exclude the possibility of interference with other devices (for example, when using the product in combination with third-party devices, such as ﬁeld computers, personal computers, wireless devices, mobile phones, certain cables or external batteries).

When using computers and radio equipment, be sure to observe to the vendor-speciﬁc information

about electromagnetic compatibility. Only use original SOLA equipment and accessories.

4.5.2 Interference with the VECTOR 50 by other devices

Although the product meets the strict requirements of the relevant directives and standards, SOLA cannot entirely exclude the possibility that intense electromagnetic radiation in the immediate vicinity of radio transmitters, two-way radios, diesel generators, etc. may distort the measurement results.

When performing measurements under these conditions, check the plausibility of the results.

Page 12

5. Laser safety / classiﬁcation

The VECTOR50 emits a visible laser point. The product corresponds to Laser Class 2 according to DIN EN 60825-1:2007-03.

Laser Class 2:

When using Class 2 laser devices, the eye is protected by the blink reﬂex or aversion reaction in the case of random and short-term exposure.

WARNING

Looking directly into the beam with optical aids (e.g. binoculars, telescopes) can be dangerous.

CAUTION

Looking into the laser beam may be hazardous to the eye.

Do not look into the laser beam. Do not aim the laser beam at other people.

Labelling on the device:
