1. 1 Accuracy of correction will depend on accuracy of installation against target If distance is 0 9 meters then unit will have 0 1 m offset during all future measurements 15 2 Target should not have high reflective surface white color is not considered high reflective in this case 3 Unit shall be well leveled with deviation from 0 not more than 0 75 degrees Horizontal direction shall be to Magnetic North not True North If devices detects large installation errors unit is not well leveled or not aimed to the North then LCD will show result 444 which means that correction was not performed due to incorrect setup Compass calibration If the System was exposed to a strong magnetic field or was not in use for a long time the compass accuracy may diminish To return the compass into working condition Select CALc from CAL menu Keeping the unit horizontally perform one full rotation 360 around vertical axis within a minute If one rotation does not restore calibration perform two rotations per a minute The normal compass functioning will be restored 16 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 t2. at a sharp angle to the beam Weather conditions that influence air transparency rain fog snow mist reduce maximum range Bright sunny days will reduce performance as well as IR sun radiation may cover reflected laser impulses While the unit will measure through many glass types measuring through glass may reduce accuracy Natural hand tremor decreases the accuracy of long distance ranging Using of a tripod is highly recommended Note device may produce false readings when reticle is aimed at the sun or in 20 solid angle from the sun Target selection logic On its way towards the target laser beam may reflect from various objects thus decreasing ranging accuracy The 11 smaller the farther and the less reflective is 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 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 Similarly 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 st
