Operating information

Temperature range
The Product and its related system components must be used at temperatures
between 0° and 50° C (32° to 122° F). Outside of this range, the specified
accuracy may not be maintained.
Store the Product and its related components at temperatures between -20° C
and 60° C (-4° F to 140° F).
Temperature effects and fluctuations
Powerful heat sources or steam located near the laser beam could influence
the accuracy of measurements as a result of beam deflection. In practice,
however, this effect seldom occurs at distances up to 1 m. If in doubt, the effect
can be eliminated by shielding the system from the heat/steam source during
measurement and laser beam adjustment.
As with all precision optical measurement devices, sudden fluctuations in tem-
peratures (e.g. resulting from sunlight), could result in erroneous measurements.
Allow adequate time for the Product and its related components to reach the
ambient temperature.
Incident light
Avoid exposing the Product to strong, hot light such as direct sunlight.
Dust and water seals
The Product is water and contamination resistant to specification IP65; the
sensor and prism are resistant to specification IP67. This specification requires
that each component be able to withstand a water jet spray from any direction
(the components are NOT guaranteed to withstand a full submersion). Note, as
with most water-resistant products, the resistance must be periodically checked
and re-sealed if necessary. This can be carried out during service and re-calibra-
tion of the system which should be carried out every two years.
Interface connection
The Product is fitted with two interfaces: 1) data exchange with a PC/printer and
2) mains supply for the rechargeable battery, and the sensor.
