6.2 Distance measurement
The R-300X series has two distance measurement modes of primary MEAS and second
MEAS.Pressing the [F1] [MEAS] one time goes to MEAS and twice goes to second MEAS.
You can freely select and allocate your desired measurement mode in primary MEAS and
second MEAS by the Initial Setting 2.The “MEASURE SHOT”is set at primary MEAS and
“TRACK CONT”is set at second MEAS as a Factory default setting.
• MEASURE SHOT means the distance measurement by the shot mode.
• MEASURE CONT means the distance measurement by the continuous mode.
• TRACK SHOT means the fast distance measurement by the shot mode.
• TRACK CONT means the fast distance measurement by the continuous mode.
Confirm the target constant before beginning the distance measurement.
Example:“MEASURE SHOT”at primary MEAS (Factory default setting)
Collimate the telescope at a target and press
the [F1] [MEAS] once to start measuring the distance.
Once distance measurement has been started,
the distance measurement mark remains displayed.
Upon reception of a reflected light from the target,
the instrument beeps and displays the
• mark to start the shot measurement automatically.
• If the instrument is in mode B,press the [F5] [MODE] to switch to mode A
and press [F1] [MEAS].
• Pressing the [F1] [MEAS] after collimating the telescope at the prism starts shot
distance measurement with the “MEAS”text blinking.Distance measurement is
completed and the “MEAS”text stops blinking the moment the distance measured by
shot measurement is displayed.During continuous measurement,the “MEAS” text
keeps on blinking.Pressing the [F1] [MEAS] again terminates both distance
measurement and blinking the “MEAS”text.
• Pressing [F4] [DISP] cycles through the sets of display items:“H.angle/H.dst./V.dst.”,
“H.angle/V.angle/S.dst.”,and “H.angle/V.angle/H.dst./S.dst./V.dst.”
• Pressing the [ESC] or [F2] [TARGET] or [F5] [MODE] during distance measurement stops it.
• If the shot count for distance measurement has been set to 2 or more in “Initial Setting 2",
the distance is measured for the specified number of times to display the
averaged value.
• If the automatic distance measurement:[AUTO MEAS] in “Initial Setting 2”has been
set to “MEAS”the first measurement is started only by aiming at the Target.Press [F1]
[MEAS] for each measurement after the first one.
• If the automatic distance signal:[MEAS SIGNAL] in “Initial Setting 2”has been set to
VALUE,a two-digit number representing the AIM value appears as soon as
measurement starts (The AIM value varies depending on the distance and atmospheric
conditions.)
• The minimum distance unit :[MEAN. MIN DISP] COARSE or FINE can be selected by the
initial setting 2.
