* Use a reflective plate to increase the measurement range during daylight or if the target has poor reflection properties.
** Accuracy can decrease in unfavorable conditions, such as intense sunshine or when measurements are made against glossy or transparent surfaces, moving objects, or objects with a rough surfaces.
In unfavorable conditions or when the measured distance is over 100 m the maximum permissible accuracy is calculated in the following way:
± (Y + 0,25хDх10-3) mm, where
D (mm) – measured distance
Y (mm) – permissible accuracy according to technical data.
