LazerTape 160 Users Manual
8. Measuring Conditions
Measuring Range
The range is limited to 160ft.
When ambient lighting is reduced, such as at nighttime or dusk, the measuring range without a target plate may be
increased. Use a target plate to increase the measurement range during daylight or if the target has poor
reflective properties.
Misc
Measurement errors occur if measurement through liquids or glass is attempted. Styrofoam or similar
semi-permeable surfaces can also cause measurement errors. Aiming at high gloss surfaces may reflect
the laser and lead to measurement errors. Non-reflective or dark surfaces may cause the measuring time to
increase. Moisture or dust in the atmosphere can also cause measurement errors.
Care
Do not immerse the instrument in water. Wipe off dirt with a damp, soft cloth. Do not use aggressive cleaning
agents or solutions. Handle the instrument as you w o u l d a t e l e s c o p e o r c a m e r a .
