Description
General This manual applies to all TPS1200+ Series instruments. Where
there are differences between the various models they are clearly
described.
Telescope •Measuring with IR mode: When measuring distances to a
reflector with EDM mode "IR", the telescope uses a wide
visible red laser beam, which emerges coaxially from the tele-
scope's objective.
•Measuring with RL mode and LO mode: (for instruments
that are equipped with a reflectorless EDM) When measuring
distances with EDM modes "RL" and "LO", the telescope uses
a narrow visible red laser beam, which emerges coaxially
from the telescope's objective.
