You can also determine this with a temperature sensor and chronograph by recording muzzle velocity at different temperatures.
  • Page 52 One additional feature provided within the Sig Ballistic App is the ability to calculate and set your muzzle velocity and drop scale factor empirically by using actual bullet drop at known ranges. The suggested ranges are based on your bullet selection. In this case select GUN PROFILES, then select a CUSTOM PROFILE (223 Sierra FMJ shown) and then press the CALIBRATE button at the top right hand side of the screen: 16SIG2013_KILO2400ABS_Manual 7400372-01 R00.indd 52 10/28/16 10:06 AM...
  • Page 53 sigoptics.com Within the CALIBRATION sub menu you will now enter your known target ranges and drop at each range. Once this information is input press the CALCULATE button and your results will appear similar to what you see below. You will note that the default MV for this bullet was 2600 fps but the measured MV was calculated to be 2624.
  • Page 54 5. Environment – From this screen you can adjust your Wind Direction. Wind Direction is the direction that the wind is coming from. You can override the rangefinder onboard sensors by touching on the Temperature, Pressure or Humidity data coming from the rangefinder and update any setting. Be sure that your connection is active and press the SYNC button to synchronize your settings with your rangefinder.
  • Page 55 Note - The WeatherFlow WindMETER is included with the KILO2400ABS. For some smartphones, the WindMETER will not function properly due to incompatibilities from smartphone to smartphone. This is caused by insufficient drive current through the audio jack. Some newer smartphones no longer have an audio jack.
  • Page 56 6. Target – Use the Target sub menu if you are shooting moving targets. Heading, Inclination and Latitude all are pulled from the rangefinder. Target Speed and Target Direction are manual inputs. In the example below the Heading is 215’, the target is at a decline of 16’, the Latitude is 40.0’ and the Target Speed has been input as 10 mph moving Right to Left.
  • Page 57 7. Compass Calibration – While using the KILO2400ABS you may notice that your compass heading may be off while viewing the Target submenu. Using a known compass while synced with your KILO, check the Target menu to determine if your compass heading is accurate (i.e.

  • Page 58: Frequently Asked Questions (Faq)

    FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS (FAQ): Q: I am pressing the RANGE button and nothing happens? A: Check to make sure you have a fresh CR2 battery installed. If the battery is new, try loosening and tightening the battery cap until the cap is snug. If this doesn’t fix the problem you may have switched the rangefinder into one of the low brightness settings for the OLED display.
  • Page 59 A: Most commercial rangefinders will provide over 4000 individual range calculations using a fresh CR2 primary lithium battery. The KILO2400ABS has additional sensors and Bluetooth which consume more battery power. The rangefinder exceeds 4000 ranges on a fresh battery, however, when heavily using SCAN mode this will cause the battery to drain much faster as the range processor remains active at all times and you will quickly exceed 4000 range calculations due to the HyperScan mode.
  • Page 60 Q: My Bluetooth link between my smartphone and my rangefinder keeps disconnecting? A: You can update your Settings / Preferences from the home screen on your app. Click on the Settings / Preferences button in the upper right hand corner of the screen and then change the KILO Timeout setting to 30, 60 or 180 seconds.
  • Page 61 sigoptics.com Q: My rangefinder is not calculating elevation and wind holds – no holds are showing up on the OLED display or in the HUD on the app? A: Your rangefinder is probably set to AMR (Angle Modified Range). In AMR mode only the angle modified range is displayed on the HUD and on the OLED display.
  • Page 62 Q: I’ve plugged the WindMETER into my smartphone jack and I still do not get a wind reading. A: On some versions of Android, your smartphone may not be able to provide enough current to the WindMETER to obtain an accurate wind reading. In this case you may be better off downloading the WeatherFlow wind meter app and using this app to obtain a wind reading.
