The instrument contains visible and invisible laser sources:
• A laser diode for distance measuring in DR- mode and laser pointer function operating at 660
nm (visible light), with a beam divergence of 0.4 x 0.4 mrad and an output power of <1 mW,
while the emission is coaxial with the telescope. This mode operates in LASER CLASS 2.
• The laser diode for distance measuring in prism mode operates at 660 nm (visible light), with
a beam divergence of 0.4 x 0.4 mrad and an output power of <0,017 mW, while the emission is
coaxial with the telescope. This mode operates in LASER CLASS 1.
• An Autolock laser diode operates at 785 nm (infrared, non-visible light), with a beam
divergence of 38.5 mrad and an output power of < 0.35 mW, while the emission is coaxial with
the telescope. This mode operates in LASER CLASS1.
• A laser pointer function operating at 660 nm (visible light), with a full beam divergence of 0,2
mrad (1/e^2) and an output power of <3,5 mW, while the emission is biaxial and eccentric to
the telescope. This mode operates in LASER CLASS 3R.
The laser for the high power laser pointer and the laser for measuring in DR mode may be run at the
same time. This mode is within LASER CLASS 3R.
