Reflecting Prism
When measuring the distance with the prism mode, a reflecting prism must be positioned at the target site.
Reflective prisms are available in single, or triple, sets, which can be attached to a tripod via a base connector, or

3.5 Loading and unloading of the pedestal
Unloading
If necessary, the triAngle base can be removed from the instrument (including the reflecting prism base

Loading
Put the three feet on the instrument into the holes of the triAngle base, turn the locking knob 180° clockwise to
