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.
