5. OPERATION INSTRUCTIONS Installing the battery Open the battery compartment using a suitable tool, or a coin. Insert a 9V Lithium non-magnetic battery provided with your device Connect the battery to the battery snap Refit the battery compartment and tighten the screw. If the battery compartment cover does not close tightly and evenly, check that the battery snap wires are neatly packed inside the battery compartment and the cover is...
Using the Device The LRB 6000CI operational procedures are design to allow the user to use most applicable options in the fastest time possible. To activate it, press and hold Action button (6, Fig.1) for one second. At start the unit comes into Ready to Measure mode indicated by the word ‘READY’...
Factors affecting measuring distance Though maximum measurement distance depends on target reflectivity, weather conditions and other conditions, for most targets the unit will provide accurate ranging for up to 4,000 meters. Under good conditions a large size target can be measured up to 6,500 meters. Target reflectivity depends on its color, surface finish, size, shape, position in relation to the laser beam, etc.
Target selection logic On its way towards the target the laser beam may be reflected from various objects, thus decreasing ranging accuracy. The smaller, the farther, and the less reflective is the target – the higher is the possibility of obtaining an incorrect measurement.
Scanning regime the unit repeatedly measures and displays results every second while A button is pressed. To activate Scanning regime press and hold Action button in Ready mode. The unit will work in Scanning regime while Action button is pressed. Scanning or Individual Measurement regimes are available for any selected mode of measurement.

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. To return the compass into working condition: Select CALc from CAL menu Keeping the unit horizontally, perform one full rotation around vertical axis within half a minute and then one full rotation around vertical axis with device...
Gating mode In this mode gating function is activated: here user can set the minimal distance to the target, any object closer than the gating distance will be ignored. To select Gating Mode: Select GAtE from main menu Minimal gating distance of 0 meters (display: 000 m) will be initially set, further pressing M button will increase gating distance by 100 m up to 3,900 m.
Data Recall mode In Data Recall mode results of the last 10 measurements can be displayed. Measurement results are saved in on-board memory in sets depending on the parameters set for measuring, for instance, if only distance is measured - the set will consist of one number, if distance and azimuth are measured –...
Computer interconnectivity The unit supports RS-232 interface. Physical connection is performed through connector with threaded coupling mechanism, designed for the heavy-duty outdoor applications. Note: Do not apply excessive force when disconnecting cable. Damage to cable or connector resulting from improper treatment is not covered by warranty. To attach the cable to the rangefinder match the key on the plug (1, Fig.
GPS interconnectivity LRB 6000CI can transmit the acquired data to a GPS receiver using DB15 connector and PLGR/DAGR protocol. An optional cable is required. To work with GPS, perform the following steps: Switch the rangefinder to PLGr mode; Choose dFLt measuring mode;...
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.
Page 28
reflections from all objects closer than the gating distance will be ignored. This is especially effective when ranging in unfavourable atmospheric conditions, that is, in the rain, fog, haze or in the bright sun. Gating provides better results than the “last”...
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. ...
8. TROUBLESHOOTING Ranging does not work. The display is transparent. Check the charge of the battery. Replace it if it is weak. Ranging does not work. The display indicates results of the last measurement. Wait for 8 seconds until the display becomes transparent, and press the Action button again.
