  • Page 77: Guidelines For Correct Results

    3.8 Guidelines for Correct Results  Very short distances may be measured reflectorless in IR mode to well reflecting targets. Note that the distances are corrected with the additive constant defined for the active reflector. Distance measurement Zoom80_009 When measurements are being made using the red laser EDM, the results can be influenced by objects passing between the EDM and the intended target surface.
  • Page 78 Zoom80 | 78 Operation is triggered, the measurement may be made to the side of the vehicle. The result is the distance to the vehicle, not to the surface of the building. If using the long range measurement mode (> 1000 m, > 3300 ft) to prisms, and an object passes within 30 m of the EDM as the measurement is triggered, the distance measurement may be similarly effected due to the strength of the laser signal.
  • Page 79 Aim360/ The Aim360 sensor permits automatic angle and distance measurements to Track360 prisms. The prism is sighted with the optical sight. After initiating a distance measurement, the instrument sights the prism centre automatically. Vertical and horizontal angles and the distance are measured to the centre of the prism.
