Laser classification
Integrated distance meter

This product produces a visible laser beam, which emits from the front of the
instrument.
It is a class 2 laser product in accordance with:
4

IEC60825-1:2007 “Radiation safety of laser products” laser class 2 products:
Do not stare into the laser beam or direct it towards other people.

Warning:
Looking directly into the beam with optical aids (e.g. binoculars telescopes) can be
hazardous.

Precautions:
Do not look directly into the beam with optical aids.

Caution：
Looking into the laser beam may be hazardous to the eyes.

Precautions:
Do not look into the laser beam. Make sure the laser is aimed above or below eye
level.

Max Operating Altitude:2000m:

Use a target plate to increase the measurement range during daylight or if the target
has poor reflection properties.
Measurement accuracy could reach ±2mm in good conditions (good measurement
surface, room temperature). If under adverse measuring conditions, such as the light is
too strong, the temperature difference is too large, or the measured surface reflection
is too weak, the deviation over distance will increase.

9. Measuring Conditions
9-1 Measuring Range
The range of this meter is limited to 30m, at night or dusk and if the target is in
shadow, the measuring range without target plate is increased. Use a target plate to
increase the measurement range during daylight or if the target has poor reflection
properties.
9-2 Target Surfaces
Measuring errors can occur when measuring toward colorless liquids (e.g. water) or
dust free glass, Styrofoam or semipermeable surfaces. Aiming at high gloss surfaces
may deflect the laser beam and lead to measurement errors. For non-reflective and
dark surfaces the measuring time may increase.
-if the equipment is used in a manner not specified by the manufacture, the warranty
will be invalid

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 would a
telescope or camera.

Warranty
This instrument comes with a one-year warranty. If it is not used correctly via this
manual, the warranty will be invalid.
