  • Page 2 2. DESCRIPTION 2.1. General The EG-LRF 20000 laser rangefinder is a device intended for the use by an individual. The rangefinder can measure ranges from 60 to 20,000 m with an accuracy of 5 m. The maximum range depends on a target size and shape as well as weather conditions, and can exceed 20,000 m in case of good target visibility.

    3. DESIGN AND OPERATION 3.1. Principle of operation The rangefinder operates on the same principle as the optical locator. A range is determined by the time of passing of a short invisible laser pulse to a target and back. A short infrared light pulse of high intensity generated by the laser propagates towards a target within a narrow cone.
  • Page 9 In the transmitting channel a laser pulse reflected from the target goes through the protective glass (5), the receiving/sighting channel objective (4), the prism unit (3) and is focused by the objective in the plane of the photosensitive area of the photoreceiver (2). The prism unit by its beam-splitting coating applied to the facet of one of the prisms divides a laser pulse going through the objective into two portions.
  • Page 10 and continues operating until the stop pulse from the photoreceiver stops the count of pulses from the timing oscillator of the time interval meter. The time interval between the start and stop pulses is transformed into the information corresponding to a range to a target in metres that is displayed. Besides the measured range, additional information is shown on the digital display by the LEDs (Fig.5).

  • Page 13 Since the laser head power supply produces high voltage that is a threat to human life, it is categorically prohibited to disassemble the housing of the rangefinder when there is an accumulator battery. 5.2. Measurement procedure 1) make sure that the MIN RANGE handle is set to the extreme left position or to a required minimum range value (see 5.3);...
  • Page 14 The arrangement for minimum range setting is designed to facilitate identification of individual signals reflected from targets and other objects in the path of the laser beam. By using this arrangement an operator is able to not receive (i.e. reject) signals reflected from objects within a given minimum range (gated range).

    5.4. Measurement of range to the last target If a target to be measured is overlapped by close targets, the signals from which come to the rangefinder, and there is no object within the transmitter beam behind the target (i.e. the reflected signal from this object does not come to the rangefinder), then a range to such a target is the easiest to be measured in the last target measurement mode (the L mode).
