Simple method for measuring distance using laser rangefinder
Simple method for measuring distance using laser rangefinder
Measurement mode
Two different measurement modes can be used to measure distance, namely single measurement and continuous measurement. Continuous measurement is used to determine a given distance or length, and can also be used in difficult to access locations (such as corners, edges, or niches).
1. Single measurement
If the rangefinder is turned off, it can be turned on by pressing the "On/Off" button or the "Measure" button. If the rangefinder is turned on by pressing the "Measure" button, the laser will also be enabled, so the following steps can be omitted
1.1. Turn on the laser by pressing the "Measure" button.
1.2. Align the rangefinder with the target and press the "Measure" button. The measured distance will be displayed in the result line within 1 second.
2. Continuous measurement (tracking)
During the continuous measurement process, the distance is updated in the result line at a rate of approximately 6-10 measurement values per second. The measurement rate depends on the reflectivity of the target surface. If the signal tone is enabled, continuous measurement will prompt by emitting approximately 2-3 signal tones per second.
2.1. Press and hold the "Measure" button for approximately 2 seconds to activate continuous measurement mode.
2.2. By pressing the "Measure" button again, the measurement can be stopped.
2.3. The last valid measurement value will then be displayed in the result line of the display screen.
measuring range
1. Increase in measurement range: When measuring in a dark environment (dawn or evening) and when the target and/or rangefinder are in bright light shadows, the measurement range of the rangefinder usually increases. The use of a target board will also increase the measurement range of the rangefinder.
2. Reduced measurement range: The measurement range may decrease under bright conditions, such as when working in bright sunlight or under extremely strong lighting. When measuring through glass or when an object is located within the laser beam path, the measurement range of the rangefinder may decrease.
When measuring green, blue, or black matte surfaces, or on damp or luminous surfaces, the measurement range of the distance measuring instrument may be reduced.
