    Changing battery To install a battery:  Slide the battery compartment cover down (9, Fig. 2)  Install the battery observing polarity  Don’t apply superfluous strength while pushing the battery 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

    Note: Battery in metal casing will diminish compass accuracy. Non-magnetic batteries should be used for the utmost compass performance. Measuring procedure When the Rangefinder is off the LCD is blank. To activate it press and hold A button (6, Fig. 1) for half a second. At start the unit comes into Ready to Measure mode indicated by the word ‘READY’...

  • Page 16: Target Selection Logic

    Target reflectivity depends on its color, surface finish, size, shape, position in relation to the laser beam, etc. Bright target colors are more reflective than darks. A polished surface is more reflective than a rough one. Larger targets reflect better than small ones.

  • Page 17: Individual Measurement And Scanning Regimes

    This mechanism helps selecting the target when ranging from behind the bushes, wires, through the falling snow, or in similar conditions. Similarly it enables ranging a target in front of a bigger object, such as a wire in front of the wall. 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...

  • Page 18: Operation And Service Modes

    Operation and service modes The unit has the following modes of operation:  Ready to Measure – to perform measurements (Quick link to Standard1 and Standard2 set of measurement parameters appears in mode selection menu for convenience and does not constitute a separate mode) ...

  • Page 19: Mode Switching

     Standard1: distance is displayed in meters, azimuth is measured, crosshair reticle is visible, auto target selection is used;  Standard2: distance is displayed in yards, elevation in degrees At start the unit assumes Ready to Measure mode with measurement parameters inherited from the previous setup. At manufacturing stage the unit is set up into Standard1 set of measuring parameters.

  • Page 20: Data Recall Mode

    Setup and Data Recall modes have submenus, so when A button is pressed to select these modes the unit automatically enters the corresponding submenu. In the same way as with the mode switching M button switches between submenu items and A selects the needed one.

  • Page 21: Setup Mode

    measurement set number (display name: ) will start flashing. Pressing M button moves the unit along the list of measurement set numbers and measurement results: 1, distance 1, elevation 1, rEc 2, distance 2, elevation 2, rEc 0 , distance 0, elevation 0. If either elevation or distance was not measured it will not appear in the list.
  • Page 22 To leave the Setup mode without changing measurement parameters press and hold M button for two seconds. This works like computer Esc key. The rangefinder will keep the last set of parameters and return to the Ready to Measure mode. Mode Ready to Ready...

  • Page 24: Compass Calibration

    Choosing in Setup mode will cause all display segments and indicators to flash for 8 seconds. Flashing can be interrupted by pressing either button. Compass calibration If the System was exposed to a strong magnetic field the compass accuracy may diminish. To prevent mistakes compass will then show 0º...
  • Page 25 Reliability of ranging depends on the number of impulses that reflect from the target and reach the unit. The unit informs the user: TARGET REFLECTION LOW – ranging results have low statistical reliability, TARGET REFLECTION MED – ranging results have medium statistical reliability, TARGET REFLECTION HIGH –...

  • Page 26: 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 27: 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.

  • Page 28: Troubleshooting

    8. TROUBLESHOOTING The ranging does not work. The display is transparent. Check the charge of the battery. Replace it if it is weak. The ranging mode does not work. The display shows results of the last measurement or is transparent. Wait for 8 seconds, and press the Action button again.
