Specifications: The document provides technical specifications for the RIEGL VQ-780II laser measurement system. Key parameters include an angular range of ±30°, a total scan rate of 20 to 300 lines/sec, and an angular step width between 0.006° and 0.108°. The angle measurement resolution is 0.001°.
Measurement Capabilities: The system's range measurement capability is limited by laser safety issues, with a minimum range for valid reflectivity values at 250 m. Accuracy is defined as the conformity of a measured quantity to its true value, while precision refers to the reproducibility of measurements. The maximum laser pulse repetition rate (PRR) for smart and full waveform recording is 1600 kHz.
Performance Metrics: The maximum measuring range varies with the laser PRR and target reflectivity, with ranges up to 6800 m for natural targets with 60% reflectivity. The maximum operating flight altitude is also dependent on these factors, reaching up to 18300 ft.
Safety Distances: The Nominal Ocular Hazard Distance (NOHD) and Extended Nominal Ocular Hazard Distance (ENOHD) are provided for various PRR settings, with NOHD ranging from 61 m to 370 m and ENOHD from 82 m to 2450 m.
Data Interfaces: The system includes TCP/IP Ethernet for configuration and monitoring data output, a high-speed data link for digitized data output, and synchronization via a serial RS-232 interface.
General Technical Data: The power supply requirement is 18 - 32 V DC with typical power consumption of 160 W. The device dimensions are 425 mm x 212 mm x 331 mm, and it weighs approximately 20 kg. It operates within a temperature range of -5°C to +40°C and is protected under class IP54.
Compliance and Safety: The product is classified as a Class 3B Laser Product according to IEC60825-1:2014 and complies with specific US regulations. It must be used with an appropriate laser safety box.
