15. DISTANCE MEASUREMENT
83
Check to make sure that sufficient reflected light is returned by the target sighted by the telescope.
Checking the returned signal is particularly useful when performing long distance measurements.
Caution
• The laser beam is emitted during returned signal checking.
• When the light intensity is sufficient even though the center of the reflective prism and the reticle are
slightly misaligned (short distance etc.), “
” will be displayed in some cases, but in fact, accurate
measurement is impossible. Therefore make sure that the target center is sighted correctly.
PROCEDURE
1. Accurately sight the target.
2. Press [S-LEV] in Observation mode.
<Aiming> is displayed.
Allocating [S-LEV]: "22.6 Allocating Key
Functions"
When [S-LEV] is pressed, a gauge indicating light
intensity is displayed.
• The more displayed, the greater the
quantity of reflected light.
• If “
” is displayed, only enough light for the
measurement is returned.
• When “
” is not displayed, accurately resight the
target.
[BEEP]/[OFF] : Sets a buzzer sound when
measurement is possible.
Press to switch on and off.
[MEAS] : Returns to Observation
mode and starts angle and
distance measurement
regardless of "Search
Setting" setting.
