Insert a 9V Lithium non-magneti c battery provi ded with your device  Connect the battery to th e battery snap  Refit the battery compartment and tighten the screw. If the battery com partment cover does not close tightly and[...]

11 Using the Device The LRB 6000CI operational procedures are desi gn to allow the user to use most applicab le options in the fastest time possibl e. To activate it, press and hol d Action button (6, Fig.1) for one second. At start the unit comes into Ready to Measure mode indicated by the word ‘READY’ on the display visible through the eyepie[...]

12 Factors affecting measuring distance Though maxim um m easurement di stance depends on target reflectivit y, weather conditions and ot her conditions, for most targets the unit will provide accurate ranging for up to 4,000 mete rs. Under good conditions a large size target can be m easured up to 6,500 met ers. Target reflectivity depends on its [...]

13 Target selection logic On its way towards the target the laser beam may be reflected from various object s, thus decreasing ranging accuracy. The smaller, the farther, and the less reflective is the target – the high er is the possibility of o btaining an incorrect measurement. To improve accuracy the un it has a built-in target selection logi[...]

14 Scanning regime the unit repeatedly m easures and displays result s every second while A butt on is pressed. To activate Scanning regim e press and hold Action butt on in Ready mode. The unit will work in Scanning regime while Action butt on is pressed. Scanning or Individual Measurement regimes are available for any selected m ode of m easureme[...]

18 Compass calibration If the System was exposed t o a strong magnetic field or was not in use for a long time, the compass accuracy m ay dimini sh. To return the compass into workin g condition:  Select CALc from CAL m enu  Keeping the unit horiz ontally, perform one full rotation around vertical axis within half a m inute and then one full [...]

19 Gating mode In this mode gati ng function is activat ed: here user can set the minimal distance to the ta rget, any object closer than the gating distance will be ignored. To select Gating Mode:  Select GAtE fro m mai n me nu Minimal gating distance of 0 m eters (display: 000 m) will be initially set, further pressin g M button will increase [...]

20 Data Recall mode In Data Recall mode results of the last 10 m easurement s can be displayed. Measurement result s are saved in on-board mem ory in sets depending on the param eters set for m easuring, for instance, if only distance is measured - the set will co nsist of one number, if distance and azi muth are m easured – the set will consist [...]

21 Computer interconnectivity The unit supports RS-232 interface. Physical connection is performed through connect or with threaded coupling mechanism , designed for the heavy-duty outdoor applications. Note: Do not apply excessive force when disconnecti ng cable. Damage t o cable or connector resulting from improper treat ment is not covered by wa[...]

22 GPS interconnectivity LRB 6000CI can transm it the acquired data to a GPS receiver using DB15 conn ector and PLGR/DAGR protocol. An optional cabl e is required. To work with GPS, perfo rm the following steps:  Switch the rangefinder to PLGr m ode;  Choose dFLt measuring mode;  Connect the rangefinder and GPS unit wi th the cable. For ea[...]

23 6. BEST MEASURING TECHNIQUE Laser range finder measures distance by catching laser beam reflected from the targ et. Everything that i mproves reflection increases the measurement reliability and max imum r an g e. 1. Use tripod when ranging rem ote targets. The longer is the distance, the greater is the beam shift due to hand tremor. 2. Aim at a[...]

24 reflections from all objects closer than the gating distance will be ignored. This is especially effective when ranging in unfavourable atm ospheric conditions, that is, in the rain, fog, haze or in the bright sun. Gating provides bett er results than the “last” target selection, but it requ ires preliminary rough distance estim ation to cut[...]

25 7. STORAGE AND MAINTENANCE The unit is a sophisticat ed precision optical instrum ent equipped with laser and electroni cs. Therefore, it should be handled with due care.  Keep away from direct sunlight.  Avoid impact s, jolts, dust, m oisture, and sharp changes of temperature.  Do not use the device at temperatures higher than 50 o C ([...]

26 8. TROUBLESHOOTING Ranging does not work. The display is t ransparent. Check the charge of the batte ry. Replace it if it is weak. Ranging does not work . The display indicates results of the last measurement. Wait for 8 seconds until the di splay becomes transparent, and press the Action button again. Black dots are visible on LCD. Liquid Cryst[...]
