Page 9: Ref.hgt
Vertex Laser VL402 V1.1 enu REF.HGT The transponder height, the eye height or any other reference height equals the distance from the ground to a reference point. In most cases, the REF.HGT would equal the centre of the T3 transponder or other visible reference point. If the reference point is the ground, or the objects lowest point, REF.HGT should be set at zero (0). -

SHIFT is also used to increase or decrease the intensity of the Vertex aim. MODE BUTTON The MODE button is used when measuring angles, and works as ENTER, to execute commands in the menu. -
Page 11: Height Measuring With Vl402
Vertex Laser VL402 V1.1 enu HEIGHT MEASURING WITH VL402 MEASURING HEIGHTS The Vertex Laser instrument offers several different measuring methods for accurate height measuring: Distance and angle to an optional part of the object measured with laser. One shot: To be able to work with this method, you need to be on the same level as the bottom of the object to measure. -

Page 13: Height 3P With Laser
Vertex Laser VL402 V1.1 enu Ultrasonic pulses are attenuated differently with varying temperature, humidity, and atmospheric pressure. In open terrain without obstacles between the instrument and with the 60 ْ transponder, a range of 30m/100 ft or more can be obtained. (For details on the T3 transponder, please see page 6 in this manual.) Calibration of the Vertex ultrasound unit should be made in current correct temperature to get highest possible precision. -

Page 17: Delta Height
Vertex Laser VL402 V1.1 enu DELTA HEIGHT The Delta Height Function is used to calculate the height difference of a point at an imagined straight line between two fixed positions, and a third point, for example at a power line, where the line sag is closest to the ground. - Page 18 Vertex Laser VL402 V1.1 enu The Delta Height Function uses the horizontal distances and the heights from the two fixed positions to calculate the height to the point at the (imagined) straight line. If this point is not located in the middle of these two fixed positions, the importance of standing closely increases.
-
Page 19: Example
Vertex Laser VL402 V1.1 enu EXAMPLE 1. Go to the position where the line sag is closest to ground. Measure H1 using the 1-point laser method. 2. Measure H2 using the 1-point laser method 3. Accept H1 and H2 and H by pressing Mode. H is the calculated height to the point above the power line. 4. -
Page 20: Hazard Tree Limit: Function In The Vl402 To Calculate Security Distance
Vertex Laser VL402 V1.1 enu HAZARD TREE LIMIT: FUNCTION IN THE VL402 TO CALCULATE SECURITY DISTANCE The VL402 V1.1 includes a useful function to calculate minimum distance from a tree top to, for example, a power line, given the scenario that the tree could fall or be cut down. The function is called TREE LIMIT in the VL402. - Page 21 Vertex Laser VL402 V1.1 enu uncertainty can affect the power line, such as cold/warm temperature, power output in the line, etc. If you are unsure where the laser beam actually hit when measuring, it is recommended to verify results with at least one more measuring operation.
-
Page 22: General Measuring Model
Vertex Laser VL402 V1.1 enu GENERAL MEASURING MODEL The minimum distance to the power line is measured in two steps: 1. Measure or state the height to the power line (or other object). 2. Stand under the power line. Measure the tree height. The tree height and its position relative to the power line are registered and the minimum distance from the top to the power line is calculated. -
Page 23: Tree Limit
Vertex Laser VL402 V1.1 enu TREE LIMIT Go to the SETUP menu and make sure that the P.OFFSET is correctly set (app. 0.3m) and that the EYE HGT is set as the distance from ground level to your eyes, usually app. 1.7m. If the ultra sound transponder needs to be used (in dense vegetation) check also that the TRP.HGT is correct in the VL402, normal setting 1.3m (breast height). -
Page 24: Measuring Height To A Power Line
Vertex Laser VL402 V1.1 enu MEASURING HEIGHT TO A POWER LINE TREE LIMIT When the height to the power line is not known, it needs to be measured. This is done in the function MEAS in the OBJECT HGT menu. Choose the function MEAS with the DME button and press MODE. -
Page 25: Height 1P
Vertex Laser VL402 V1.1 enu HEIGHT 1P The Height 1P method is used to measure the height to the power line when you are positioned on a distance from the line. The minimum distance between the VL402 to the power line is 10m/32ft. 1. -
Page 26: Height 2P
Vertex Laser VL402 V1.1 enu HEIGHT 2P With HEIGHT 2P you can measure the height by using two measuring points. You will not need to be positioned at ground level under the power line. The laser or the ultrasound can be used to measure the distance to a point at the ground under the power line. -
