HOW OUR DIGITAL TECHNOLOGY WORKS
The Pro 1 M™ emits invisible, eye safe, infrared energy pulses. The Pro 1 M™ Advanced Digital microprocessor and
ASIC chip (Application-Specific Integrated Circuit) results in instantaneous and accurate readings every time.
Sophisticated digital technology instantaneously calculates distances by measuring the time it takes for each pulse to
travel from the rangefinder, to the target, and back.

RANGING ACCURACY

The ranging accuracy of the Pro 1 M™ is plus or minus one yard / meter under most circumstances. The maximum
range of the instrument depends on the reflectivity of the target. The maximum distance for most objects is 1 000 yards
/ 9 1 4 meters while for highly reflective objects the maximum is 1 760 yards / 1 609 meters.
Note: You will get both longer and shorter maximum distances depending on the reflective properties of the particular target and the environmental
conditions at the time the distance of an object is being measured. The color, surface finish, size and shape of the target all affect reflectivity and
range. The brighter the color, the longer the range. Red is highly reflective, for example, and allows longer ranges than the color black, which is the
least reflective color. A shiny finish provides more range than a dull one. A small target is more difficult to range than a larger target. The angle to
the target also has an effect. Shooting to a target at a 90 degree angle (where the target surface is perpendicular to the flight path of the emitted
energy pulses) provides good range while a steep angle on the other hand, provides limited ranging. In addition, lighting conditions (e.g. the amount
of sunlight) will affect the ranging capabilities of the unit. The less light (e.g. overcast skies) the farther the unit's maximum range will be. Conversely,
very sunny days will decrease the unit's maximum range.
