This is a great help for outdoor measuring. The integrated
pointfinder (viewscreen) shows the target on the display.
The device measures in the middle of the cross hair, even if
the laser dot is not visible.

Parallax errors occur when the pointfinder camera is used
on close targets, with the effect that the laser appears dis­placed in the crosshair. In this case rely on the real laser dot.

* favourable conditions are: white and diffuse reflecting
target (white painted wall), low background illumination and
moderate temperatures.

** unfavourable conditions are: targets with lower or higher
reflectivity or high background illumination or temperatures
at the upper or lower end of the specified temperature
range.

*** Tolerances apply from 0.05 m to 10 m with a confidence
level of 95%.

With favourable conditions the tolerance may deteriorate
by 0.05 mm/m for distances between 10 m to 30 m, by 0.10
mm/m between 30 m and 100 m and by 0.20 mm/m for
distances above 100 m.

With unfavourable conditions the tolerance may deterio­rate by 0.10 mm/m for distances between 10 m to 30 m, by

0.20 mm/m between 30 m and 100 m and by 0.30 mm/m
for distances above 100 m.

**** after user calibration. Additional angle related deviation
of +/- 0.01° per degree up to +/-45° in each quadrant.
Applies at room temperature. For the whole operating
temperature range the maximum deviation increases by
+/-0.1°.

For accurate indirect results, the use of

i

a tripod is recommended. For accurate
tilt measurements a transverse tilt should be
avoided.

If this equipment does cause harmful interfer­ence to radio or television reception, which
can be determined by turning the equipment
off and on, the user is encouraged to try to
correct the interference by one or more of
the following measures:

• Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.

• Increase the separation between the

equipment and receiver.

• Connect the equipment into an outlet on a
circuit different from that to which the
receiver is connected.

• Consult the dealer or an experienced
radio/TV technician for help.

This device complies with part 15 of the FCC
Rules. Operation is subject to the following
two conditions:

• This device may not cause harmful interfer­ence, and
