4. M button will increase gating distance by 100 m up to 3 900 m When the desired distance is reached select it by pressing Action button 24 OVER 100M indicates that gating is active To deactivate gating choose gating value zero Note The gating distance can only be increased To exit the gating selection cycle without setting any gating distance click through full gating range with M button or hold M button for 2 seconds Gating feature helps measuring remote targets in unfavourable atmospheric and environmental conditions by eliminating reflections from snowflakes raindrops industrial wires tree branches etc At the same time if gating distance 1s set incorrectly you can remove the desirable object from measurement range Data Recall mode In Data Recall mode results of the last 10 measurements can be displayed Measurement results are saved in on board memory in sets depending on the parameters set for measuring for instance if only distance is measured the set will consist of one number if distance and azimuth are measured the set will consist of two numbers To enter Data Recall mode select rEc from the main menu First measurement set number display name 1 will start flashing Pressing M button moves the unit along the list of measurement set numbers and measurement results 25 rEc 1 distance 1 azimuth 1 elevation 1 rEc 2 distance 2 azimuth 2 elevation 1 rEc 0 distance 0 azimu

6. the laser beam may be reflected from various objects thus decreasing ranging accuracy The smaller the farther and the less reflective 1s the target the higher is the possibility of obtaining an incorrect measurement To improve accuracy the unit has a built in target selection logic that allows user the option of choosing which target to range the nearest first the farthest last or the most reflective auto This mechanism helps selecting the target when ranging from behind the bushes wires through the falling snow or in similar conditions Furthermore it enables ranging a target in front of a bigger object such as a wire in front of the wall Note Even with target selection logic the unit may not always be able to range the desired target as its reflectivity may be too low to produce enough laser beam reflections for statistically reliable calculation Individual Measurement and Scanning regimes The unit can operate in two methods 1 Individual Measurement and 2 Scanning In Individual Measurement method the unit performs single measurement when Action button is pressed shortly in Scanning regime the unit 14 repeatedly measures and displays results every second while A button is pressed To activate Scanning regime press and hold Action button in Ready mode The unit will work in Scanning regime while Action button is pressed Scanning or Individual Measurement regimes are available f
