7. Operation

7.4.5 Measuring with the aid of target
objects

When taking measurements to exterior 
corners, e.g. on buildings, perimeter 
fences, etc., boards, bricks or other 
suitable objects can be used as the target.

Use of the PDA 50 target plate is 
recommended for long distances and in 
unfavourable light conditions, e.g. strong
sunlight.

7.4.6 Measuring in bright surroundings

The PD 32 has a built-in optical target
sight. When measuring to very bright 
surfaces, the laser spot is often not visible.
Thanks to the laser spot superimposed in
the optical sight, you can always clearly
and reliably aim at the target.

For long distances and bright light 
conditions, we recommend the use of 
the PDA 50 target plate. 

7.4.7 Taking measurements to rough 
surfaces

When measuring to rough surfaces, e.g.
coarse render, stucco, etc, an average dis-
tance value is measured weighting the cen-
tre of laser spot higher that the edges of
the laser spot.

7.4.8 Taking measurements to round or
inclined surfaces

If surfaces of this kind are aimed to an
obtuse angle, inadequate light energy or,
when aimed perpendicular, measurements
may refer to the reflected laser spot from
elsewhere. In both cases we recommend
the use of the PDA 50 target plate

7.4.9 Taking measurements to wet or
shiny surfaces

As long as the range meter can be aimed
towards the surface, a distance to the 
target will be reliably measured. In the case
of highly reflective surfaces, a reduction in
the range or a measurements to the actual
light reflex from elsewhere must be 
expected.
