Operation

Measurement information
The reflective properties and surface structure of the target can influence the measurement. Poor reflective properties (coarse-textured, wavy, moving, surfaces), fog, rain, snow, direct sunlight or too large a measuring angle can reduce the measuring distance and increase the response time. For speed measurements, the angle to the target should not be more than 10°. Use a tripod for smaller and / or distant measurement targets. The unit has an automatic power-off that cannot be deactivated. Manual power-off is not possible.
