Rapid Fire
The rapid fire function allows you to measure ranges and distances to a cable or similar object, which is hard to
aim at.
Method of Operation
Press and hold the
FIRE
key down while moving the LaserAce® Survey in an upwards or downwards sweep
past the object to be measured.
For example in cable finding, point the LaserAce® Survey at the sky, press and holding the
FIRE
key sweep the
instrument downwards towards and past the cable. Once the LaserAce® Survey obtains a return from the cable
it will alert you with an audible beep and display the SD (Slope Distance), VA (Vertical Angle) and HA
(Horizontal Angle) data for the cable in question.
Press the
▲
key and you can display the HD (Horizontal Distance) and VD (Vertical Distance) and MD
(Measured Distance) of the data.
Press the
▲
button again and the display will return to the original screen.
To take another measurement simply repeat the method described above.
Note:
Pressing the
●
key returns the instrument to the main menu.
