Target reflectivity depends on its color, surface finish, size,
shape, position in relation to the laser beam, etc. Bright target
colors are more reflective than darks. A polished surface is more
reflective than a rough one. Larger targets reflect better than
small ones. Ranging a target perpendicular to the laser beam
provides better results than the one positioned under a sharp
angle to the beam.
Weather conditions that influence air transparency (rain, fog,
snow, mist) reduce maximum range. Bright sunny days will
reduce performance as well, as IR sun radiation may interfere
with reflected laser impulses.
While the unit will measure through many glass types, measuring
through glass may reduce accuracy.
Natural hand tremor decreases the accuracy of long distance
ranging. Using of a tripod is highly recommended.
Target selection logic
On its way towards the target laser beam may reflect from
various objects, thus decreasing ranging accuracy. The smaller,
the farther, and the less reflective is the target – the higher is the
possibility of obtaining an incorrect measurement.
To improve accuracy the unit has a built-in target selection logic,
which allows choosing which target to range: the nearest (‘first’),
the farthest (‘last’), or the most reflective (‘auto’).
