Warranty and liability
The device complies with the fundamental health and safety
requirements of the applicable EU regulations and was tested at
the factory for perfect functionality multiple times.
If malfunctions occur nonetheless, please contact your dealer or
distributor.
When making a warranty claim, supply the device number (see
label on the device).
When manufacturer's instructions or legal regulations have not
been followed, or after unauthorised changes to the device are
made, the manufacturer is not responsible for the resulting
damages. Changes to the device or unauthorised replacement
of individual parts can drastically impact the electrical safety of
this product and will result in the loss of the warranty. Liability
does not extend to damages to people or property caused by the
device being used other than as described in the instructions in
this operating manual. Subject to changes to technical design
and model changes as part of constant development and
product improvement without prior notice.
No liability is accepted for damages resulting from improper
use. In such a case, any warranty claims will be voided also.
Safety
Read this manual carefully before starting or using the
device. Always store the manual in the immediate vicinity
of the device or its site of use!
• Do not use the device in potentially explosive rooms.
• Do not use the device in aggressive atmosphere.
• Do not immerse the device in water. Do not allow liquids to
penetrate into the device.
• The device may only be used in dry surroundings and must
not be used in the rain or at a relative humidity exceeding
the operating conditions.
• Protect the device from permanent direct sunlight.
• Do not remove any safety signs, stickers or labels from the
device. Keep all safety signs, stickers and labels in legible
condition.
• Do not open the device with a tool.
• Avoid looking directly into the laser beam.
• Never point the laser beam at people or animals.
• Only use the device if sufficient safety precautions were
taken at the surveyed location (e.g. when performing
measurements along public roads, on building sites etc.).
Otherwise do not use the device.
• Observe the storage and operating conditions (see chapter
Technical data).
Intended use
Only use the laser distance measuring device BD16 for
measuring distances, areas and volumes by means of the
integrated laser and within the measuring range specified in the
technical data. Observe and comply with the technical data.
To use the device for its intended use, only use accessories and
spare parts which have been approved by Trotec.
Improper use
Do not use the laser distance measuring device BD16 in
potentially explosive atmospheres or for measurements in
liquids. Never point it at people or animals. Trotec accepts no
liability for damages resulting from improper use. In such a
case, any warranty claims will be voided.
Any unauthorised modifications, alterations or structural
changes to the device are forbidden.
Personnel qualifications
People who use this device must:
• be aware of the dangers that occur when working with
laser measuring devices.
• have read and understood the operating manual, especially
the Safety chapter.

Residual risks
Warning of laser radiation
Laser class2, P max.: > 1mW, λ: 650nm,
EN 60825-1:2014
Do not look directly into the laser beam or the opening
from which it emerges.
Never point the laser beam at people, animals or
reflective surfaces. Even brief eye contact can lead to
eye damage.
Examining the laser output aperture by use of optical
instruments (e.g. magnifying glass, magnifiers and the
like) entails the risk of eye damage.
When working with a laser of class2, observe the
national regulations on wearing eye protection.
Warning
Risk of suffocation!
Do not leave the packaging lying around. Children may
use it as a dangerous toy.
Warning
The device is not a toy and does not belong in the
hands of children.
Warning
Dangers can occur at the device when it is used by
untrained people in an unprofessional or improper way!
Observe the personnel qualifications!
Information about the device
Device description
The laser distance measuring device is used to determine
distances, areas and volumes in interior spaces. Indirect
measurements are carried out employing the Pythagoras
function.
The multi-line, illuminated displayindicates the determined
values.
Owing to the dust- and splash-proof housing (IP54), the device
is also suited for use on construction sites.
Measuring distance
The range of the device can be gathered from the Technical
data chapter. Under certain conditions – e.g. at night, in twilight
or when the target is hidden in the shade – greater distances
are possible even without target plate. During the day use a
target plate to increase the distance for poorly reflecting targets.
Target surfaces
There might be measurement errors when the laser encounters
colourless liquids (e.g. water), dust-free glass, styrofoam or
other semi-permeable materials. The measurement result may
also be falsified if the laser encounters a high-gloss surface and
is deflected by it. Non-glossy, non-reflective or dark surfaces
can extend the measurement duration.
Caution
Keep a sufficient distance from heat sources.
Notice
To prevent damages to the device, do not expose it to
extreme temperatures, extreme humidity or moisture.
Notice
Do not use abrasive cleaners or solvents to clean the
device.
