2. Description
The distance is determined along an
emitted laser beam up to the surface where
the laser beam is reflected. The red laser
spot clearly identifies the target from which
the measurement is taken.
The measuring range depends on the
reflectivity and the surface structure of the
target surface.
2.1 Intended use
The range meter is designed for the:
– Measurement of distances
– Calculation of areas, volumes and distances
– Addition and subtraction of distances
– Operation and storage in the specified
temperatures
2.2 Items supplied
1 PD 32 laser range meter
1 PDA 50 target plate
1 PDA 60 hand strap
2 Type AA batteries
1 soft pouch
1 Operating instructions
1 Producer Certificate
2.3 Measuring principle
The range meter emits a visible laser beam
with measuring waves, which are reflected
returning with a phase shift. The phase
shift is used to determine the distance.
This measuring principle permits highly
accurate and reliable distance
measurements to objects without
special reflectors.
