Wait for 8 seconds, and press the Action button again. Compass readings are equal to zero at any direction. Wait for 8 seconds, and press the Action button again. If this does not help, perform the compass calibration. There are black dots in the image. A LCD (Liquid Crystal Display) is installed in the optical channel of the device. Due to manufacturing imperfections in the production process of the LCD, small black dots, scratches and other blemishes might be visible. Those blemishes are strictly regulated for maximum allowed number, size and location. It does not degrade the product's performance. Range measurement cannot be obtained. • Check if range detection mode is activated (message READY appears on the display) • Make sure that neither your hand nor finger is blocking objective lens, laser emitting lens or receiver lens. • Hold the unit firmly (avoid hand tremor) while you are pressing the Action button. • Check that the target is within measuring range of the device. 24 CAREFULLY READ ALL THE INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USING! FAILURE TO OBEY THE INSTRUCTIONS WILL VOID THE WARRANTY! 1. BRIEF DESCRIPTION LRB 3000PRO Laser Rangefinder Binocular is an advanced Laser Range Finder system that provides instant distance, speed, and angular measurements consistently and accurately. The outstanding optics provides a sharp, clear image under all conditions. LRB 3000Pro utilizes a revolutionary digital design, which outperforms any other product in its class and price range. The unit sends an invisible, eye safe laser beam pulses to the target. The returned beams are captured by the digital circuitry. The time differential allows us to calculate the distance to the target. Incorporated digital compass measures clockwise the angle between the optical axis and direction to the North Pole. 5 2. APPEARANCE OF THE DEVICE 4 5 3 6. STORAGE AND MAINTENANCE INSTRUCTIONS. 1 6 2 Precautions: LRB 3000Pro is a sophisticated precision optical instrument equipped with electronics. Therefore, it should be handled with due care. • Keep your device away from direct sunlight, impacts, dust, moisture, and sudden changes of temperatures. • Do not use the device at temperatures higher than 50oC (122oF). • Do not touch the optical surfaces with fingers. Doing so may damage the anti-reflection coating. • Avoid shocks and sharp jolts. • Cleaning of optical surfaces is allowed with professional camera lens cleaning supplies only. • To clean the exterior of the device, use a soft clean cloth. • Keep away from heating appliances and central heating. • Remove the battery when storing the device for long time. • All repair works must be performed by an authorized service only. 1 – Eyepieces; 2 – Objective lens; 3 – Mode button; 4 – Action (*) button; 5 – Battery compartment cover; 6 – Rubber grip Fig. 1 6 23 voltage of the primary 9-Volt battery drops below 7.2 Volts. At this point the System is still functional but the battery should be replaced as soon as possible. The System can operate at the voltage level above 7 Volt. The System remains in the active displaying state for 8 seconds after pressing of any of the operating buttons and after 8 seconds it enters the passive zero power state. Ni-MH rechargeable type of batteries with extended capacity capable to sustain current drain up to 250 mA should be used for powering the System. 5.5. Test modes Mode 16 is designated to test the display. When you choose this mode all segments and indicators will flash during 8 seconds. This time should be enough for extensive display testing. Mode 17 calibrates the digital compass. If the System was exposed to a strong magnetic field or it was inoperable for a long time the compass stops working. This is normal. To return the compass back into working condition enter Mode 17 and rotate the System in horizontal plane during approximately one minute. You must perform at least two rotations. The normal compass operation will be restored. 22 1 7 8 1 – Eyepieces with diopter adjustment; 7 – Interpupilary distance adjustment lever; 8 – Identification label (located at the bottom) Fig. 2 3.

Qualitative result of the statistical processing is presented on the Display as a message TARGET REFLECTION (5). There are three statistical qualifications of the reflected signal: • TARGET REFLECTION LOW – when the number of steady received reflected signals is just enough to make acceptable conclusion about the measured distance; • TARGET REFLECTION MED - when the number of steady received reflected signals is in medium range and enough to make positive conclusion about the measured distance; • TARGET REFLECTION HIGH - when the number of steady received reflected signals is qualified to be enough to make reliable conclusion about the measured distance. The displayed statistical qualification of the reflected signal characterizes variation in expected recurrence of measurements. At qualification HIGH each consequent measurement of the same target will give you the same result with accuracy of ±1m. At lower rates of statistical qualification the expected recurrence may degrade. The display presents LOW BATTERY warning, when 21 5.4. Additional display information The System operates in the setting Modes that are displayed as follows (refer to Fig.3): Y/M – units of distance measurement: yards or meters (3). KMH/MPH – units of speed measurement: km/hour or miles/hour (3). ° - units of angular measurement: degrees (3) Shape of the reticle: cross shape or rectangular shape (2). rEC1 - recall function. Upon pressing the Action button (4) (fig. 1) the Display will sequentially show results of last 10 measurements, starting from the latest one. The number appearing after word "rEC" shows the number of the measurement counted back in the sequence. When the System is in inactive state the 10 previous measurements are stored within the System and may be recalled at any time. cLr - clear data function: upon pressing the A button (4) (fig. 1) the entire data on all previous measurements will be erased. This function doesn’t change the chosen modes. You can erase the assigned mode only by assigning a new one. OVER 100 m – indicates that the gating is on. Note: This is an optional indicator, which is not activated in this model. Optional nighttime illuminated display allows more hours of use and easier readings at dusk, dawn and all night. Note: This is an optional feature, which may be absent in your unit. 20 5. OPERATION INSTRUCTIONS Liquid Crystal Display (LCD) 7 6 1 8 9 5 2 3 4 1 – Low battery indicator; 2 – Reticle (cross or rectangular selectable); 3 – Units of measurement (Yards, Meters, KMH, MPH, Degrees); 4 – Measurement result; 5 – Target quality indicator; 6 – Laser active indicator; 7 – “Over 100M” gating indicator (optional); 8 – Setup mode indicator; 9 – Ready mode indicator Fig. 3 9 5.1. Preparing the device for operation. • Rotate counterclockwise and open the battery compartment cover (5) located between the objective lenses (fig. 1). • Insert one 9V Ni-MH battery into the battery compartment observing correct polarity. • Close the battery compartment cover (5). • Adjust the interpupillary distance with lever (7) (fig.2). • Adjust the eye relief distance by moving the left collapsing eyepiece (1) in lengthwise direction. Note: After changing the battery, it is recommended to run the Compass Calibration mode (refer to the mode selection procedure). 5.2. Measuring procedure When the Rangefinder is in the passive, zero power consumption state, the LCD Display is blank (transparent). Press the Action (A) button (4) (Fig.1) and hold for 0.5 sec. to activate the System. Initially the System always assumes READY mode of operation and word ‘READY’ appears on the Display. Pressing and releasing the A button (4) (Fig. 1) at this point triggers a measuring session, and the result will be displayed in numerical form (4) (Fig. 3) (if measurement is unsuccessful then four dashes ‘----‘ will appear in the numerical area). Please note that the target must be over 20m away. The measured data will correspond to the mode selected (see below). The units of measurement will be indicated in the field of view (3) (Fig.3). 10 • • rEc – recall function. Upon pressing the Action button (6) (fig. 1) the Display will sequentially show results of last 10 measurements, starting from the latest one. The number appearing after word "rEc" shows the number of the measurement counted back in the sequence. When the System is in inactive state the 10 previous measurements are stored within the System and may be recalled at any time. cLr - clear data function: upon pressing the Action button (6) (fig. 1) the entire data on all previous measurements will be erased. This function doesn’t change the chosen modes. You can erase the assigned mode only by assigning a new one. The full trek of all possible modes available is depicted on Figure 4. 19 • • • • • • Cd12 – this mode sets the target selection to First. No other parameters of those, which were previously set, are influenced. Cd13 – this mode sets the target selection to Auto. No other parameters of those, which were previously set, are influenced. Cd14 KMH – the unit will measure and display two parameters at once as distance in meters and speed in kilometers per hour. The target selection and the reticle shape inherit the previous value. Cd15 MPH – the unit will measure and display two parameters at once as distance in yards and speed in miles per hour. The target selection and the reticle shape inherit the previous value. Cd16 – this is the self-test mode. All segments on display will blink during 8 seconds. None of the parameters, which were set before, will change. Cd17 – this is the self-test mode, performing compass calibration. None of the parameters, which were set before, will change. 18 If you choose more than one parameter to measure (for instance, distance and azimuth), the measured results will appear on the display every half second. If the A button is held (pressed) the System automatically enters SCANNING mode. At this mode, the System repetitively performs distance measuring and displaying. The time interval between measurements is approximately 0.25 second. The maximum measuring distance range for most objects will be about 3000 meters. The maximum measured distance varies greatly depending on the reflectivity of the target, weather conditions and more. Target reflectivity depends on its color, surface finish, shape etc. Bright colors are more reflective than darks. A polished surface is more reflective than a rough one. Larger targets are easier for distance measuring. Measuring a target faced at 90o (perpendicular to the laser beams path) provides optimal results. Bad weather conditions (rain, fog, snow, mist) will reduce the maximum measured range. Bright sunny days will reduce performance as well. While the unit will work through many glass types, measuring through glass will affect the results. Hand tremor also influences the results. Use tripod to measure distance to far-away objects. The unit can estimate distance to up to 7 targets simultaneously. The mode selection logic allows choosing the nearest (‘first’), the farthest (‘last’) or the most reflective (‘auto’) target. This mechanism helps to choose a correct target 11 behind bushes, wires, flakes, or, opposite, measure a distance to wire, which hangs in front of the building wall. However, it cannot be guaranteed that the device will always measure the needed distance. It can happen that there will be no pulses bounced off the desired object at all. 5.3. Mode switching procedure By pressing Mode (M) button (3) (Fig.1) when the System is in READY mode, you enter the Mode selecting state. Pressing the M button sequentially scans the Modes. The Mode under selection is indicated on the Display by flashing of the selectable feature. The "flashing" feature can be selected by pressing the A button (4). If you don’t find some of the modes described below, it means they were not installed on your system. Two modes, “Codes” and “Recall” have submenus. You enter submenu by pressing the A button from the corresponding mode. After that you can select the sub-item with the M button and choose your option by pressing the A button. Each time when you make your choice, you return to the READY state. Note: Depending on user’s requirements, the unit can be made with a special sub selection, providing only the options required for the particular task. Note: Depending on the installed software, the situation, when the mode is accessible but inoperable, also may occur. 12 • • • • • Cd4, Cd5, Cd6, Cd7 – reserved for the future extension and are not available in this model. Cd8 – the unit will measure two parameters at once as distance in yards and horizontal angles in degrees. Target selection is set to Auto. The reticle shape is set to crosshair. This is the third standard mode. Cd9 + – this mode sets the reticle shape to crosshair. No other parameters of those, which were set before, are influenced. Cd10 □ – this mode sets the reticle shape to rectangle. No other parameters of those, which were set before, are influenced. Cd11 – this mode sets the target selection to Last. No other parameters of those, which were previously set, are influenced. 17 If you want to leave the mode switching procedure without remembering your choice, you should press and keep held the M button for more than two seconds. This works like “Escape” key on a computer keyboard. The rangefinder will remain in the last set mode and return to the READY state. Below is the full list of all modes available in the main menu and submenus. The flashing symbols, which you see on the display during the mode selection procedure, are marked in bold in the text. • Std1 – the unit will measure three parameters at once as distance in meters, horizontal angles in degrees, vertical angles in degrees. The target selection is set to Auto. The reticle shape is set to crosshair. This choice turns off the gating, if it was turned on before. • COdE – if you choose this option, you will enter into codes submenu. • Cd1 M – the unit will measure and display the distance in meters only. The target selection and the reticle shape inherit the previous value. • Cd2 Y – the unit will measure and display the distance in yards only. The target selection and the reticle shape inherit the previous value. • Cd3 -° – the unit will measure and display the horizontal angle in degrees only. The target selection and the reticle shape inherit the previous value. 16 There is one default preset mode, Standard1 (Meters, Degrees, Crosshair shape reticle, Auto target selection), which opens the mode trek. Another standard mode is assigned to Code 8. It determines measurement units and features as Yards, Degrees, Crosshair shape reticle, Auto target selection. After you have selected one of these modes, you can override its reticle type and target selection with the sub selection code. For example, Standard1 mode implies crosshair shape reticle. If you choose rectangular reticle (sub selection Code 10), you change the reticle shape and leave all other parameters of this mode intact. If then you choose Standard1 again, the reticle will turn back crosshair. The last set mode overwrites all features that it controls. All other modes determine only one parameter to measure. For example, Code 14 allows to measure speed of the objects as kilometers per hour. The shape of reticle and target selection will remain the same, as they had been set before you selected the Code 14. Now you can choose a new reticle shape, still remaining in the speed measuring mode. This example demonstrates that Codes 9-13 replace one selected feature independently, and all other codes can replace more than one feature in a bunch. 13 Target type Reticle Azimuth Screen display Speed Distance Mode A A A M 1) Standard 1 Select this mode M , , , Meter Degree Auto Target Go to next mode A 2) Codes A A Code1 Select this mode A Code2 Select this mode A Code3 M Meter A Code13 A Go to next mode Code14 Degree Select this mode A Go to next mode M Code15 M Code16 M Code17 M A 4) Recall Not used Compass calibration Go into submenu A Select this data A Select this data A Go to next mode Select this data Select this data 5) Clear A Code9 A Code10 A M Go to next data M Go to next data Rec9 M Go to next data Rec0 M Rec1 Rec2 ...
