Masking (Laser beam shutter)
The RT-5SW features electronic beam “masking” to prevent the beam from transmitting on one
or multiple sides of the instrument. Due to the long beam range of the RT-5SW, this can be useful
to eliminate duplicate laser beams on large job sites where more than one laser may be in use.
The use of masking has no effect on power usage.
