Appropriate use
The device is intended for the following applications:
Distance measurement and output of measured data via RS-232 or RS-422
interface, analogue output and digital outputs.
It should be noted:
▪
Operation with correct supply voltage,
▪
Compliance with environmental conditions, the operating and storage
temperature,
▪
Protection of windows against fogging and soiling,
▪
Using data lines with specified signal levels,
▪
Observing of guidelines in this manual.
Measurement through optically transparent material
Measurement through optically transparent materials such as glass,
optical filters, acrylic glass etc. can lead to erroneous measurement
results. When measuring through optically transparent material,
use the function “measurement window”. By using this function
due to setting a fixed measurement range, a wrong measurement -
caused by an optical medium in front of the laser - may be avoided.
Please take care that the surface of the medium is clean and clear.

Improperly use
–
error sources
The device may only be used when the safety advice described in chapter 2 is
observed. The non-observance of the safety advice can lead to damages of the
device or to injuries of the eyes.
To achieve correct measurement results, avoid the following error sources:
▪
Measurement against the sun or other intense light sources
▪
Measurement onto low reflective target surfaces in highly reflective
environments
▪
Measurements onto highly reflective surfaces (mirror)
▪
Measurements through glass, optical filter, Plexiglas or other transparent
materials can lead to measurement errors
