Hypsometer is designed specially for height control of trees and optimized to be carried around in the forest for long times. It is small and robust and operates for a long time on the built in batteries.

The accuracy is depending on the operators skill and the system is very easy to operate after 5 minutes of testing. Normally an operator can get an accuracy of +- 0,5 meter on most trees.

Application areas for Laser hypsometers by Laseroptronix

* Tree height control and height of obstacles and other objects

* Fire brigades for measuring height on objects at rescue operations

* Fire brigades to check length of water hoses

* Police when making maps and graphic displays in their works

* Distance between electric wires and obstacles

* Distance between objects in the nature

* Distance in terrain when de mining military areas

 

The aiming is done by a redpoint sight and is very easy to use.

Point at the tree in approximately horizontal angle and press the button until beep.

Then point at the top of the tree and press button until it beeps. This is the measurement of the angle up to the top.

Point at the root of the tree and press the button until it beeps. This is the angle down to the root of the tree.

Then the built in microprocessor calculated the height from the two angles and the distance to the tree. Accuracy is about +- 0,5 m . This pine was 11,7 m in height.

That is all.
