The golf distance meter emits an invisible infrared pulse laser that does no
harm to eyes, which is then reflected back from the selected target into the
optical receiver. By measuring the time it takes each pulse laser to travel
between the distance meter to the target, the system uses an advanced
precision charging circuit to calculate the distance being measured in real
time. The product's maximum range of measurement depends on the target's
reflectivity, color, surface finish, size and actual shape.
Safety warning
The following factors ensure the optimal
range and precision of measurement:
Clear weather
Targets with shiny appearance
Targets with highly reflective
surfaces
Zero impurities in the air
Black targets
Snowy, rainy or foggy weather
Small or micro targets
Targets to be measured through
glass
Moving targets
Strong light interference/sharp
sunlight
Targets with obviously diffuse
surfaces
The following factors ensure the optimal
range and precision of measurement:
