Attention:
LMS-Q680i is a CLASS 3R Laser Product. It operates in the near-infrared light. Direct exposure to the laser radiation is dangerous and may cause severe damage to eyes and skin.
DO NOT LOOK INTO THE TRANSMITTER LENS!
DO NOT POINT THE TRANSMITTER LENS AT PEOPLES EYES!
Operation of the LMS-Q680i requires experienced staff on board the aircraft.
Summary
The long-range airborne laser scanner makes use of a powerful laser source, multiple-time-around (MTA) processing, and digital full waveform analysis. This combination allows operation at varying flight altitudes and is therefore ideally suited for aerial survey of complex terrain.
