How to use

8.1 Measuring conditions

The quality of the measurement depends on the
surfaces to which you are measuring.
Measurement errors
Caution
Damage to property due to use of wrong
measuring results!
Avoid measuring errors due to unexpected events
during distance measuring.
Perform a control measurement.
Measuring errors are possible in case of:
colourless fluids (e.g. water)
clean, translucent glass
styrofoam or similar
surfaces
strongly reflecting targets that deflect the
laserbeam
measurements aimed at moving objects
Causes:
Strongly reflecting targets deflect the laser
beam and cause measuring errors.
Non-reflecting, dark surfaces increase the
measuring time.
For constantly high-quality
measurements
Perform control measurements periodically.
Perform control measurements before and
after important measurements.
