OptionalEquipment

With an attached RTK-GNSS antenna, the absolute positioning accuracy can be improved
to 1-2 cm. The correction data is then received
via WLAN.
Charger for 2 or 6 batteries
The chargers are designed for 2 or 6 batteries. They can be supplied from the 12  V DC
voltage of a vehicle as well as from a corresponding 110/230  V AC power supply module.
The advantage of the 2-fold charger lies inthe size and weight, that of the 6-fold charger
in the possibility of continuous scanning over
24 hours (with simultaneous charging of theempty batteries).

1) Rounded values.
2) Typical values for average conditions. Maximumrange is specified for flat targets with size in excessof the laser beam diameter, perpendicular angle ofincidence, and for atmospheric visibility of 23 km. In
bright sunlight, the max. range is shorter than underovercast sky.
3) Minimum range specified for vertical zenith angles
from 25 deg to 130 deg, resp. 105° vertical field ofview.

4) If more than one target is hit, the total laser transmitter power is split and, accordingly, the achieveable
range is reduced.
5) Accuracy is the degree of conformity of a measured quantity to its actual (true) value.
6) Precision, also called reproducibility or repeatability,
is the degree to which further measurements show
the same result.
7) 1 sigma @ 100 m range under RIEGL test conditions.

8) 1-sigma value, based on target modelling, underRIEGL test conditions.
9) Measured at the 1/e2 points. 0.35 mrad corresponds to an increase of 35 mm of beam diameterper 100 m distance.
10) Measured at the 1/e points. 0.25 mrad corresponds
to an increase of 25 mm of beam diameterper 100 m distance.
