Description
General This manual applies to all TPS800 Series instruments. Where there are differences between
the various models they are clearly described.
Telescope • When measuring distances to a reflector with EDM mode "IR" this telescope type uses
a wide visible red laser beam, which emerges coaxially from the telescope's objective.
• Instruments that are equipped with a reflectorless EDM additionally offer the EDM
modes "RL" and "RL-Prism". When using these EDM modes a narrow visible red laser
beam is used to measure distances.
