14. DISTANCE MEASUREMENT

68

The color and flashing speed of the guide light indicates the status of the SRX and can be known when 
the user is located at a distance from the instrument.

Switching the guide light ON/OFF "5.1 Basic Key Operation" 

• The pattern of the guide light can be changed.

"21.2 Instrument Configuration"

 

• The guide light will turn off, even when set to ON, during distance measurement and returned signal 

checking.

An angle can be measured at the same time as distance.

• The search range can be set.

"12.1 Auto Tracking Settings" 

Caution

• The laser beam is emitted during Auto Pointing and Auto Tracking.

PROCEDURE

1. Face the SRX in the direction of the target

Use the peep sight to aim the SRX and telescope 
toward the target.

"11. TARGET SIGHTING"
