Introduction

Validity of this

manual Description

General This manual applies to all Builder instruments. Where there are

differences between the various models they are clearly described.

Telescope In regard to the instrument EDM, a Builder instrument may be

equipped with one of two types of telescopes, which offer the

same performance but differ in some technical details. The two

different types can be distinguished by a rectangular (telescope

type 1) or round (telescope type 2) shaped element, which is

visible in the centre of the objective lens. Where there are technical

differences between the two telescope types they are marked by

the following pictograms, referring to the first or second type

described above:

Introduction Builder 5

Telescope Type 1

• Builder R and RM allow only measurements without prisms.

When using this EDM type a narrow visible red laser beam is

used to measure distances.

Telescope Type 2

• When measuring distances to a reflector with EDM type "fine"

or "fast" this telescope type uses a wide visible red laser beam,

which emerges coaxially from the telescope's objective. Only

possible with the Builder M power and RM power.

• Builder RM power can measure distances without prisms.

When using the EDM type "red dot" a narrow visible red laser

beam is used to measure distances.
