Introduction
• The safety instructions and the user manual should be read through
carefully before the product is used for the first time.
• The person responsible for the product must ensure that all users
understand these directions and adhere to them.
• The symbols used have the following meanings:
•WARNING
Indicates a potentially hazardous situation or an unintended use which,
if not avoided, will result in death or serious injury.
•CAUTION
Indicates a potentially hazardous situation or an unintended use which,
if not avoided, may result in minor injury and/or appreciable material,
financial and environmental damage.
•(!) Important paragraphs which must be adhered to in practice as they
enable the product to be used in a technically correct and efficient manner.
Precautions
Laser Classifications: the TruPoint 200h is designed with two different laser technologies to make
distance measurements.
•Phase Technology: A technique for measuring distances that
uses a laser beam with sinusoidally modulated optical power
being sent to a target. Comparing the incoming wavelength
with the phase of the outgoing light.
• The device produces visible laser beams,
which are emitted from the instrument.
• Class 2 laser product in accordance with:
“IEC60825: 2014 “Radiation safety of laser
products”.
Do not stare into the laser beam or direct it towards other
people unnecessarily. Eye protection is normally afforded
by aversion responses including the blink reflex.
•WARNING
Looking directly into the beam with optical aids
(e.g. binoculars, telescopes) can be hazardous.
•CAUTION
Looking into the laser beam may be hazardous to the eyes.

LTI TruPoint 200h User’s Manual • Introduction Page 4
Copyright (c)[2020] Laser Technology, Inc. All Rights Reserved. Unauthorized duplication, in whole or in part is strictly prohibited.
•Pulse Technology: calculates distance by measuring the time of flight of very short pulses of infrared
light. Time of flight sensors derive range from the time it takes light to travel from the sensor to the
target and return.
•Avoid staring directly at the laser beam
for prolonged periods.
The TruPoint 200h is designed to meet FDA
eye safety requirements and is classified as
eye-safe to Class 1 limits, which means that
virtually no hazard is associated with directly
viewing the laser output under normal
conditions. As with any laser device,
however, reasonable precautions should be
taken in its operation. It is recommended that
you avoid staring into the transmit aperture
while firing the laser. The use of optical
instruments with this product may increase
eye hazard.
•Never attempt to view the sun through the scope.
Looking at sun through the scope may permanently damage your eyes.
•Never point the unit directly at the sun.
Exposing the lens system to direct sunlight, even for a brief period may
permanently damage the internal components.
•Avoid direct sun exposure on the eyepiece.
Exposing the eyepiece to direct sunlight can damage the internal display.
•Do not expose the instrument to extreme temperatures.
TruPoint 200h components are rated for a temperature range of -20 to +60° C
(-4 to +140° F). Do not expose the instrument to temperatures outside this range
whether in use or in storage.

Section 1 - Introducing the LTI TruPoint™ 200h
Introducing the TruPoint 200h with Hybrid Measurement Technology (HMT) the world's first
laser to provide accurate long-range outdoor measurements PLUS short-range high accuracy indoor
measurements. The laser combines a traditional laser rangefinder which uses pulse technology, with
a tape laser that uses phase technology.
Features of the TruPoint 200h:
• Obtains extremely high accuracy at long ranges.
• Captures highly accurate short-range measurements, indoors or outdoors.
• Ensures targeting in every situation with bright a HUD LED display.

LTI TruPoint 200h User’s Manual • Section 1 - Introducing the LTI TruPoint™ 200h Page 7
Copyright (c)[2020] Laser Technology, Inc. All Rights Reserved. Unauthorized duplication, in whole or in part is strictly prohibited.
Understanding How the TruPoint 200h Works
The TruPoint 200h consists of two laser range sensors, an integrated tilt sensor, and a digital
processor. The TruPoint 200h navigation buttons access and control the unit's internal
user interface.
Laser Range Sensor
Pulse Laser: The laser range sensor emits invisible, eye safe, pulses of infrared light energy.
The TruPoint 200h determines distance by measuring the time it takes for each pulse to travel
from the rangefinder to the target, and back. The indicator is displayed whenever the laser is being
transmitted. The laser may be active for a maximum of 10 seconds. The TruPoint 200h has a broad
spectrum of sensitivity and can work with both reflective and non-reflective targets. See TruTargeting
(below) for information about high quality and low-quality targets.
Phase Laser: The laser diode emits light pulses with a defined wavelength and pulse repetition
frequency. Due to the runtime difference between the internal reference path and the external
measurement path, the light pulses, reflected on a target and received from the TruPoint 200h,
have experienced a phase shift in relation to the light pulses received through the internal reference
path. That phase difference between those two signals is proportional to the distance between
instrument and target.
Targets
When selecting a target, you should consider the following:
•Color: The brighter the color, the longer the range.
•Finish: Shiny finishes provide longer range than dull finishes.
•Angle: Shooting perpendicular to a target provides better range than
shooting to a target at a sharp angle.
•Lighting Conditions: Overcast skies will increase the unit's maximum
range, and sunny skies will decrease the unit's maximum range.
TruTargeting
The TruPoint 200h automatically provides the best accuracy and acquisition distance to a given
target. Maximum measurement distance varies with target quality and environmental conditions.
Target quality influences the precision of measurements.
Tilt Sensor
The integrated tilt sensor measures vertical angles that the TruPoint 200h uses to calculate
height and elevation and to determine slope-reduced horizontal distances. The instrument held
level is at 0° and is rotated up through +90° and down through -90°.
Target quality can be affected by atmospheric conditions, such as heat shimmer,
dust, target reflectance, traverse angle to target, and beam spread.

5. Press-and-hold the button to initiate measurement. When the target is acquired the
Slope Distance, Horizontal Distance, Vertical Distance & Inclination values will be displayed.
The laser pointer will shut off once a measurement has been acquired.
6. Choose one of the following options:
• Press the button to clear the measurement or error message.
• Short press the button to clear the last measurement and activate the laser pointer.
• Press-and-hold the button to clear the last measurement, activate the laser pointer
and acquire the next measurement.
