If you use Windows 95, 98 or ME: Turn computer on and enter the BIOS SETUP in accordance with the computer documentation. Set the address of LPT port as 378h, and port type as EPP. Register the new settings. After OS on your computer has been loaded, insert the supplied diskette into the floppy disk drive.
Laser Rangefinder system that provides instant distance measurements consistently and accurately. The stereoscopic device provides convenient observation with both eyes. Therefore, the LRB 20000 eliminates a need for two separate devices (binocular and rangefinder) combining both requirements in a single device. It is designated for industrial- technical purposes, ground surveillance, observation of individual targets and measurement.

16. DATA OUTPUT TO EXTERNAL EQUIPMENT The measured data can be exported to a remote computer through the connector X2. To export the output data, you must to apply the voltage of 3 to 8 V from the connected computer to the pin 9 of the connector X2. The amplitude of the output signals will depend on the value of the supplied voltage.

5. PRINCIPLES OF WORK 5.1. The LRB 20000 assembly (Fig.1) consists of rangefinder 1 mounted on the angular mount 2. The latter is mounted on the tripod 3. 5.2. Rangefinder (Fig.2) is designed for terrain observation and measuring the distance to the closest or next-in range target caught in the beam.
- remove the moist silica gel from the case and fill the case with the fresh one. Moist silica gel may be subjected to multiple dehydrations at (120±3) °C without any deterioration of its properties. Using a microwave oven is allowed. To dehydrate the silica gel, proceed as follows: - place the silica gel in a clean metal vessel;...

5.3. Angular Mount (Fig. 4) is intended for mounting rangefinder on a tripod, aim the rangefinder to the target and measure the azimuth and elevation values. The main part of the Angular Mount (AI) is body 15, which incorporates the elevation and azimuth worm-gear drives.
AI on a log, a stump, or any similar piece of wood suitable for the job. 6. SAFETY PRECAUTIONS Rangefinder LRB 20000 is an optical-electronic device emitting high-density pulses of invisible light at wavelength of 1.06 µm, characterized by the following dangerous factors: direct laser radiation;...

6.2. According IEC 825 standard the rangefinder belongs to the third class device of laser radiation hazard. NEVER: Turn on the rangefinder aiming on people or animals; Measure distance through window and door glasses; Measure distance to mirror-reflecting surfaces (mirrors, car and building windows, optical components, grinded and polished surfaces), which are nearer than 1700 m to the rangefinder;...
7. PREPARING FOR USE 7.1. Choose an observation post. 7.2. Rotate the objective frame to bring the reticle to sharp focus. 7.3. Check the battery voltage and the rangefinder before operation. 7.3.1. To analyze the battery voltage, set the ON-OFF selector switch to the ON position and check if the Low Battery indicator glows red in the left-hand eyepiece.
Items to check, test procedure Technical requirement Sensitivity, indexing uniformity and Send the unit for repair if even a balance of the magnetic needle. single requirement of 8.6.2. is not Proceed as directed under 7.6.2. satisfied. AI azimuth and elevation adjustment If necessary, tighten bushings on knobs must not be loose.
Rotate the azimuth dial to align the base reference value with the zero wheel. Now the rangefinder is aligned with the base line within 30.00 mils; Turn the clamping handle to lock the azimuth dial in the determined position. 7.5.2. To orient the rangefinder by using the reference directional angle, proceed as follows: Aim the range finder to the reference point, which directional angle is known;...

Plot the target on the map using the obtained rectangular coordinates. 8.9. When using the rangefinder under the conditions of insufficient light, set the ILLUM. selector switch to ON. 8.10. If a target is located against an intense background (bright sky, sunlit snow or sand, etc.), the range display may indicate as if more than one target is caught in the beam, and the range indications may differ every time that MEASURE L button is...

The A1 and A2 values are entered with their respective signs. If the ER "0" value is other than zero, the respective correction is to be taken into account while operating the range finder. The error value is subtracted from the elevation measurement, if the latter is positive, and added, if it is negative.
Vertical angles up to 0.80 mils and elevation angles falling within ± 0.40 mils may be read off the reticle with a maximum accuracy of 0.05 mils. 8.7. To determine the polar coordinates, proceed as follows: Use the compass to orient the Angular Mount as directed under 7.5.3;...
