Method of Operation
The opening screen shows SD (Slope Distance), VA (Vertical
Angle) and HA (Horizontal Angle).
To take a measurement, align the cross hairs in the scope with the required target and press the red FIRE
button on the top of the instrument. Once the distance has been acquired a long BEEP is heard and the results
displayed on the LCD.
NOTE:
If the range display shows SD ---.—and the unit
does not give a beep (or a short sharp beep) after
pressing the fire button, this indicates that the
instrument has not been able to obtain a distance
to the selected target. Try again.
The LCD displays the actual slope distance (SD) from the laser to the target and inclination (+/- VA) (a “-“ sign
signifies an angle below the horizontal, as in -9.3°) from the horizontal. It also reads horizontal angle from North,
as in 119.8°.
