• Avoidinterruptingthemeasuringbeamwhiletakingreflectorlessmeasurementsor
measurementsusingreflectivefoils.
• Donotmeasurewithtwoinstrumentstothesametargetsimultaneously.
IRmeasurements
• AccuratemeasurementstoprismsshouldbemadeinIR‐Defaultmode.
• MeasurementstostronglyreflectingtargetssuchastrafficlightsinPrismmodewithouta
prismshouldbeavoided.Themeasureddistancesmaybewrongorinaccurate.
• Whenadistancemeasurementistriggered,theEDMmeasurestotheobjectwhichisinthe
beampathatthatmoment.Ifforexamplepeople,cars,animals,orswayingbranchescross
thelaserbeamwhileameasurementisbeingtaken,afractionofthelaserbeamis
reflectedfromtheseobjectsandmayleadtoincorrectdistancevalues.
• Measurementstoprismsareonlycriticalifanobjectcrossesthemeasuringbeamata
distanceof0to30 mandthedistancetobemeasuredismorethan300 m.
• Inpractice,becausethemeasuringtimeisveryshort,theusercanalwaysfindawayof
avoidingunwantedobjectsfrominterferringinthebeampath.
Redlasertoprism
• RL‐LongRangemodeenablesdistancemeasurementsofover3.5 kmtostandardprisms
usingthevisibleredlaserbeam.
Redlasertoreflectorfoil
• Thevisibleredlaserbeamcanalsobeusedtomeasuretoreflectivefoils.Toguaranteethe
accuracytheredlaserbeammustbeperpendiculartothereflectorfoilanditmustbewell
adjusted.
• Makesuretheadditiveconstantbelongstotheselectedtarget(reflector).

Warning
Duetolasersafetyregulationsandmeasuringaccuracy,usingtheLongRangeReflectorless
EDMisonlyallowedtoprismsthataremorethan1000 m(3300 ft)away.
