Electronic Distance Measurement
EDM
EDM refers to the laser distancer incorporated into the instrument
which enables distance measurement.
Three measuring modes are available:
• IR mode. This mode refers to the ability to measure distances
to prisms.
• RL mode. This mode refers to the ability to measure distances
without prisms.
• LO mode. This mode refers to the visible red laser and the
ability to measure extended distances to prisms.
PinPoint PinPoint refers to the reflectorless EDM technology which enables
an increased measuring range with a smaller laser spot size. Two
options are available: R400 and R1000.
EGL Electronic Guide Light
An EGL fitted to an instrument assists with prism targeting. It
consists of two differently coloured flashing lights located in the
instrument telescope housing. The person holding the prism can
align him/herself into the instrument's line of sight.
Motorised Instruments fitted with internal motors, enabling automatic hori-
zontal and vertical turning are referred to as Motorised.
ATR Automated Target Aiming.
ATR refers to the instrument sensor which enables the automatic
target aiming to a prism.
Automated Instruments fitted with Target aiming are referred to as Auto-
mated.
