HOW TO USE

Measuring conditions

The quality of the measurement depends on the surfaces to which you are
measuring. Strongly reflecting targets deflect the laser beam and cause mea-
suring errors. Non-reflecting, dark surfaces increase the measuring time.

Always begin by making a control measurement.

Measurement errors

Measuring errors are possible in case of:

Colorless

fluids (e.g., water)

• Clean, translucent glass
• Styrofoam or similar semi-translucent surfaces
• Strongly reflecting targets that deflect the laser beam
• Measurements aimed at moving objects

For consistently accurate measurements

• Perform control measurements periodically.
• Perform control measurements before and after important measurements.
