    FAILURE TO OBEY THE INSTRUCTIONS WILL VOID THE WARRANTY AND MAY CAUSE INJURY! 1. BRIEF DESCRIPTION LRM 2200SI Laser Rangefinder Monocular (the unit) is an advanced laser range finder system that enables instant distance, direction, elevation, azimuth and speed measurement.
  • Page 7: Key Features

    measurement allows height calculation. The unit measures azimuth simultaneously as well. Speed of an object moving closer or further from the unit can also be calculated using the time-of-flight principle. Key Features  Three channel optical solution (optical, laser and receiver) ensures measurement accuracy ...

    Changing battery To install a battery:  Slide the battery compartment cover down (Fig. 2)  Install the battery, observing correct polarity  Do not force the battery while placing back inside the compartment.  Close the compartment cover If the battery does not fit the compartment easily, it means that either polarity was reversed or the battery contacts are jammed.
  • Page 15: Measuring Procedure

    Measuring procedure When the unit is powered off the LCD will appear blank. To activate the unit press and hold A button (Fig. 1) for half a second. The word ‘READY’ will appear on the display to indicate the unit is powered on. Pressing the A button (Fig.
  • Page 16: Target Selection Logic

    surface is more reflective than a rough one. Larger targets reflect better than small ones. Ranging a target perpendicular to the laser beam provides better results than the one positioned under a sharp angle to the beam. Weather conditions that influence air transparency (rain, fog, snow, mist) reduce maximum range.
  • Page 17: Operation And Service Modes

    Note: Even with target selection logic the unit may not always be able to range the desired target as its reflectivity may be too low to produce enough laser beam reflections for statistically reliable calculation. A warning will be displayed if the result is not statistically reliable.

    Magnetic North (not True North). If the unit detects large installation errors (unit is not well levelled or not aimed to the North), then LCD will show result “444” and “99”, which means that correction was not performed due to incorrect setup. Compass calibration If the System was exposed to a strong magnetic field or was not in use for a long time, the compass accuracy may diminish.

    Minimal gating distance of 000 m will be initially set, further pressing M button will increase gating distance by 100 m up to 2,100 m. When the desired distance is reached – select it by pressing Action button. OVER 100M – indicates that gating is active To deactivate gating choose gating value zero or switch to the default mode.
  • Page 22: Data Recall Mode

    measured in the Scanning mode, though both will be quickly displayed, the second one may be difficult to register by eye. Nevertheless all data is recorded and may be recalled (see Data Recall mode for details.) Data Recall mode In Data Recall mode results of the last 10 measurements can be displayed.

    Pressing A button at any moment within the list of recalled results brings the unit to Ready to Measure mode. Choosing cLr at the end of recalled data will erase the device memory. Additional display information Ready to Measure Additional indication is displayed in mode: Indicates that distance is displayed in yards or Y or M...
  • Page 24: Best Measuring Technique

    6. BEST MEASURING TECHNIQUE Laser range finder measures distance by catching laser beam reflected from the target. Everything that improves reflection increases the measurement reliability and maximum range. 1. Use tripod when ranging remote targets. The longer is the distance, the greater is the beam shift due to hand tremor. 2.
  • Page 25: Storage And Maintenance

    7. STORAGE AND MAINTENANCE The unit is a sophisticated precision optical instrument equipped with laser and electronics. Therefore, it should be handled with due care.  Keep away from direct sunlight.  Avoid impacts, jolts, dust, moisture, and sharp changes of temperature.
