1. General
LabRadar utilizes the latest technological advances in Doppler Radar to obtain the velocity of your
projectile. Your unit contains a transmitter and a receiver with sophisticated software that processes the
Doppler signal to immediately provide you with the velocity of your projectile. LabRadar captures the event
after the sound impulse from the firearm being used. The system also contains an alternate mode (Doppler)
that allows it to capture velocities of projectiles fired from other systems with a less audible response. Since
radar signals travel at the speed of light LabRadar is able to accurately detect velocities at sub-sonic, trans-
sonic and supersonic speeds. Unlike traditional chronographs that are highly susceptible to variances in
lighting conditions, bullet glint, sub-sonic bow waves LabRadar is accurate in virtually any condition.
LabRadar is positioned besides the shooter, not downrange. The shooter aligns the radar using a built-in
sighting notch with the target he intends to shoot. Ideally, LabRadar should be positioned to the side of the
shooter's muzzle. You should position your firearm no greater than 18" from the side of the radar. If you are
shooting a firearms that may discharge debris that could strike the radar it may be best to move the firearm
slightly forward so the muzzle, cylinder gap, ejecting cases or other discharge will not damage your
LabRadar. Upon firing the shot, the radar unit will begin transmitting and will continually track the bullet,
reporting numerous velocities along its path. Based upon the large amount of data gathered from the tracked
projectile the muzzle velocity can also be determined.
2. Microwave Safety Warning
Based on limits specified by the Federal Communication Commission (FCC) on Radio
!
Frequency (RF) emissions in a general population environment, continued exposure to
radiation should be avoided within 0.2 meter in front of the radar. Radiation levels outside this
region fall within regulations of 1 mW/cm 2 and are not considered safety hazards. When setting
up the antenna, special care should be taken to avoid situations where the antenna radiates
towards individuals. The antenna should be positioned such that bystanders are located behind
the antenna. Always turn the antenna transmitter off during periods of inactivity. Direct visual
contact with the front of the Labradar when transmitting should be avoided at all times.
