Working Advice
General Information
The reception lens 8 and the laser beam outlet 9 must not be covered
when taking a measurement.
Measurement takes place at the centre of the laser beam, even when tar-
get surfaces are sighted at an incline.
Influence Effects on the Measuring Range
The measuring range depends on the light conditions and the reflection
properties of the target surface.
Influence Effects on the Measuring Result
Due to physical effects, faulty measurements cannot be excluded when
measuring on different surfaces. Included here are:
– Transparent surfaces (e.g., glass, water),
– Reflecting surfaces (e.g., polished metal, glass),
– Porous surfaces (e.g. insulation materials),
– Structured surfaces (e.g., roughcast, natural stone).
Also, air layers with varying temperatures or indirectly received reflec-
tions can affect the measured value.
