Laser rangefinder is a kind of instrument that utilizes laser technology for distance measurement, which is widely used in the fields of construction, surveying and mapping, warehousing and logistics. Its use and calibration steps are crucial to ensure the accuracy of measurement. This article will introduce the use of laser rangefinders and calibration steps in detail.

Use method:

1. Preparation: Make sure that the battery of the laser rangefinder is in good charging condition, and at the same time, check whether there is light dirt and other substances, so as not to affect the measurement accuracy. Turn on the laser rangefinder and wait for it to be in working condition.

2. Target Alignment: Align the laser rangefinder to the target to be measured, make sure the target is completely in the field of view, and there is no object blocking it.

3. Measurement distance: Press the measurement button, the laser rangefinder will emit a laser beam and receive the reflected laser signal back. The laser rangefinder will automatically calculate the flight time of the reflected laser to get the distance from the target object to the laser rangefinder.

4. Data processing: The laser rangefinder will immediately display the measurement results, including the distance value, measurement accuracy and so on. If you need to measure the same target several times, you should keep the laser rangefinder stable to ensure the consistency of the results of several measurements.

Calibration Steps:

Calibration of the laser rangefinder is an important step to ensure measurement accuracy and stability. The following are the basic steps for laser rangefinder calibration:

1. Elevation calibration: Place the laser rangefinder on a point of known elevation, and then measure the distance value of the point. Compare the measured distance value with the actual elevation of the point and if there is a difference, an elevation calibration is required. Operate the laser rangefinder according to its manual to perform elevation calibration.

2. Horizontal calibration: Horizontal calibration is to calibrate the horizontal instrument state of the laser rangefinder to ensure the levelness of the measurement. Usually, the laser rangefinder comes with horizontal calibration function, you can adjust the base of the laser instrument or other ways for horizontal calibration.

3. Lens calibration: The lens calibration of the laser rangefinder is to ensure the accuracy of the measurement focus. According to the laser rangefinder’s manual, by adjusting the lens position or use the calibration tool for lens calibration.

4. Temperature calibration: The working environment temperature of the laser rangefinder will affect the accuracy of the measurement results, so it is very important to carry out temperature calibration. Calibrate the laser rangefinder by placing it in a known temperature environment for a longer period of time according to its manual. Tools such as external temperature sources can be used to participate in temperature measurement and calibration.

It is important to note that laser rangefinders should be used and calibrated in an environment that avoids direct sunlight, dust, and high humidity to avoid affecting the rangefinder’s performance and accuracy. In addition, in the calibration process should carefully read the instructions for the use of laser rangefinders, according to the actual situation.

In summary, the use of laser rangefinders and calibration steps are important to ensure the accuracy and stability of the measurement. Reasonable mastery of the use of laser rangefinders and correct calibration steps can improve the accuracy of measurement and provide reliable data support for the work in related fields.
