Introduction FlexLine, 3 Introduction FlexLine, 4 Validity of this Description manual General This manual applies to TS02, TS06, and TS09 instruments. Where there are differences between the various instruments they are clearly described. The following symbols will identify in each section where the instruments differ: • for TS02. • for TS06. • for TS09. Telescope • Measuring with Prism mode: When measuring distances to a reflector with Electronic Distance Measurement (EDM) mode "Prism", the telescope uses a wide visible red laser beam, which emerges coaxially from the telescope's objective. • Measuring with Non-Prism modes: Instruments that are equipped with a reflectorless EDM additionally offer the EDM mode "Non-Prism". When meauring distances with this EDM mode, the telescope uses a narrow visible red laser beam, which emerges coaxially from the telescope's objective.
