5. OPERATION INSTRUCTIONS
Maximum distance
Though maximum measurement distance depends on target
reflectivity, weather conditions and other conditions, for most
targets the unit will provide accurate ranging for up to 3,000
meters. In good conditions a highly reflective target can be
measured up to 4,000 meters.
Target reflectivity depends on its color, surface finish, size,
shape, position in relation to the laser beam, etc. Bright target
colors are more reflective than dark ones. A polished surface is
more reflective than a rough one. Larger targets reflect better
than small ones. Ranging a target perpendicular to the laser beam
provides better results than the one positioned under a sharp
angle to the beam.
Weather conditions that influence air transparency (rain, fog,
snow, mist) reduce maximum range. Bright sunny days will
reduce performance as well, as IR sun radiation may cover
reflected laser pulses.
While the unit will measure through many glass types, measuring
through glass may reduce accuracy and range.
Module controls
Modules can be fully controlled via RS-232 connector and/or
with buttons on remote control. The control procedures are
identical and interchangeable.
