KEY FEATURES

The LASERTAPE FG21-HA is two rangefinders in one. At the touch of a button, choose between highly accurate distance measurement or excellent long range performance.

MAIN APPLICATION

A single operator can quickly measure the relative location of any object for:

• Aid to marine navigation
• Aid surveying in hydrography and
  dredging
• Map urban and remote areas
• Support collection of
  environmental data
• Survey of quarries and mines
• Measure the material level in tanks
  and silos
• Measure the height of buildings
  and objects

The LASERTAPE FG21-HA is an extremely compact, durable, high performance laser rangefinder for handheld use. Protected by thick rubber, it is ideal for use in harsh environments. Look through the 6x30 sighting optics at almost any arbitrary target. At the push of the trigger button, the LASERTAPE FG21-HA emits pulses of eyesafe laser light toward the object. The instrument then calculates the distance to the target based on the time taken for the reflected light to return. Distance and inclination are displayed in large, easily legible digits in the sighting optics typically in less than one second. Depending on the selected operating mode, the LASERTAPE FG21-HA offers 5 cm accuracy over 600 meters (reflectorless) or long range capability of over 1200 meters with 10 cm accuracy. Use a reflector to increase the range by a factor of up to ten.

A powerful short-range suppression feature facilitates reliable use in bad weather conditions such as heavy rain, snowfall, or fog as well as measurements through a window.

• Display of the last or strongest target selectable
• Adjustable short-range suppression for measurements under bad conditions (dust, rain, fog...)
• Built-in inclinometer for height measurement of objects and for horizontal path length calculation
• Display of the measured data within the sighting optics field-of-view
• Sighting optics' crosshair is coaligned with the measuring beam
• Built-in buzzer, which can be switched off for soundless operation
• Built-in standard batteries or rechargeable batteries "AA"-size
• External power supply 12 V DC
