is triggered, the measurement may be made to the side of the vehicle. The
result is the distance to the vehicle, not to the surface of the building.
If using the long range measurement mode (> 1000 m, > 3300 ft) to prisms,
and an object passes within 30 m of the EDM as the measurement is triggered,
the distance measurement may be similarly effected due to the strength of the
laser signal.
CAUTION
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.
Accurate measurements to prisms should be made in IR mode.
When a distance measurement is triggered, the EDM measures to the object
which is in the beam path at that moment. If a temporary obstruction, for
example a passing vehicle, heavy rain, fog or snow is between the instrument
and the point to be measured, the EDM may measure to the obstruction.
Do not measure with two instruments to the same target simultaneously to
avoid getting mixed return signals.
