Tracker 670 LCD Screen Features
The internal LCD screen shows a selection of the following icons and text
depending on mode.
When the unit is turned on the central crosshair
appears and the unit is ready to take a measurement
in either measurement mode.
During measurement, the laser indicator (
) symbol
will flash to indicate that the laser is transmitting and
the word ‘scan’ will appear in the top left of the
screen.
The device uses a Class 1M eye-safe laser but it is
recommended that users do not look into the laser
emitting lens whilst the device is powered on.
At the top of the display is a low battery indicator. This will show when the battery
needs replacing. The accuracy of the measurements taken and the range of the
device will be reduced when the low battery indicator is showing.
The crosshair markings on the display are designed to assist the user in accurately
positioning the laser on the target object. For best results centre the target inside the
crosshairs. For distant targets, rest your arm on a solid surface or hold it firmly
against your chest. This will help to stabilise the unit and make the measurement
more accurate.
The range measured is shown using up to three digits. If a measurement cannot be
made, either because the object is too far away, is too small, too dark to reflect the
laser beam the display will not show a result.
The Tracker 670 is accurate to within plus or minus one metre.
Operating the Tracker 670
Power on the device by briefly pressing the power
button. When first powered on the LCD will be
displayed as shown.
To toggle between range and range/angle modes,
