Important Note: Avoid direct eye exposure to the Orion ONE laser radiation
Tip-1: Use a bipod during laser surveying to reduce shaking caused by hand movements. This minimizes errors and enhances precision.
Tip-2: Although the Orion ONE laser can project over long distances, such as hundreds of meters, the recommended operating range for optimal accuracy is 3-5 meters.
4. Review Results
Each measured point will be recorded in the Points Database, where you can review and manage your data.
The laser surveying function of Orion ONE empowers surveyors with precise, non-contact measurement capabilities, streamlining workflows even in challenging environments. By following the steps above, you can achieve reliable results with minimal effort.
