3 CAREFULLY READ ALL THE I NSTRUCTION S BEFORE USING! FAILURE TO OBEY THE INSTRUCTIONS WILL VOID THE WARRANT Y AND MAY CAUSE INJURY! 1. BRIEF DESCRIPTION The LRF Modules use the sa me electronics and optics as rangefinder m onoculars an d binoculars . These m odules can add various range finding capabilities in to host systems: distance & speed[...]

4 Principle of work The Modules send invisible, eye safe laser pulses to the targ et. Pulses reflected from the target are captured and processed by the digital circuitry. The time-of-flig ht delay between the sent and received pulses allows calculating the distanc e to the target. A built-in digital compass/inclinometer of MOD 4EC measures target?[...]

23 6. BEST MEASURING TECHNIQUE Laser range finder m odule measures distance by catchi ng a laser beam reflected from the targ et. Everyt hing that im proves reflection increases the measurement reliability and maximum range. 1. Aim at a surfac e on the targ et that is closest to the perpendicul ar to the laser beam. The closer you get – the stron[...]

24 distance estimation to cut off all objects closer tha n the chosen one. Note: the Gating setting is remembered by the System until altered. Therefore, if you forget to turn the gating off, the next time you start measuring it can ignore th e desired object, if it is closer than the gating distance. Th e unit will display four dashes instead of t[...]
