  • Page 3 IMPORTANT INFORMATION Read prior to activation You have just purchased a sophisticated electro-optical device that emits invisible laser radiation. To operate it properly, please, read this manual carefully.  NEVER direct laser beam at the eyes of people or animals ...
  • Page 4  Avoid eye exposure to direct laser beam or its close reflection  Prevent bright light from focussing through the eyepiece  Never aim the unit at highly reflective objects like mirrors and retroreflective surfaces, which are in close proximity to the laser rangefinder. This can lead to the permanent damage of the photoreceiver incorporated into the device.

  • Page 15: Measuring Procedure

    The unit will switch off automatically after 16 seconds of inactivity. Maximum distance Though maximum measurement distance depends on target reflectivity, weather conditions and other conditions, for most relatively large targets the unit will provide accurate ranging for up to 1500 (LRM 1500M) or 1800 (LRM 1800S) meters.
  • Page 16: Mode Selection

    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 KMH/MPH: units of speed measurement: km/hour or miles/hour (3, Fig.3) (LRM 1800S only). Shape of the reticle: cross shape or rectangular shape (2, Fig.3). rEC1: Data Recall mode. It returns results of the last 10 measurements on the display. Measurement results are saved in on-board memory. When you enter the Data Recall mode, first measurement set number rEc 1 (display name:...
  • Page 18: Additional Display Information

    Additional display information Distance measuring procedure includes instant statistical processing of the package of single measuring sessions. If there is more than one measured target in the field of view, the embedded software estimates the most probable one by calculating the number of reflected pulses multiplied by the target statistical weight.
