INTENDED USE
Laser distance meters Vector 60 and Vector 80 are intended to measure
distance, to calculate area and volume of measured objects, perform
calculations by tilt sensor and Pythagoras’ Theorem, point to point
measurements, store results of measurement/calculation in memory and also
transmit via Bluetooth. The product is suitable for use at both indoor and
outdoor building areas.
*-Vector 80 only.

- Use a reflective plate to increase the measurement range during daylight or if the target has poor reflection properties.
- Accuracy can decrease in unfavorable conditions, such as intense sunshine or when measurements are made against glossy or transparent surfaces, moving objects, objects with rough surface.
In unfavourable conditions or when measured distance is over 100 m the maximum permissible accuracy is calculated in the following way: ± (Y + 0,25хDх10-3) mm, where D (mm) – measured distance Y (mm) – permissible accuracy according to technical data.
