2.1. cfinder III

2.1.1. Main component overview

cfinder III is an optical distance measurement tool that works with an invisible class 1 laser. The 

laser has a measurement range of 1 m – 150 m (approx. 3.3 – 492 ft) and an accuracy range of less 

than +/- 5 cm (approx. +/- 2 inches) (depending on environmental conditions / target surface, color 

and reflectivity).

A visible class 2 laser (alignment laser) is used to visualize the relative position of the invisible

class 1 laser‘s measuring spot.
