Understanding How the TruPulse 360R Works
The TruPulse 360R consists of a laser range sensor, an integrated tilt sensor, compass and a digital
processor. The TruPulse has three buttons that access the unit's internal software, which controls the
integrated sensors.
LCD Display
A liquid crystal display (LCD) is mounted within the optical system and when activated, displays a
reticle for targeting, yards / meters, and the display indicators. Inherent in the manufacturing process
are small black spots that appear in the optical system. These are a natural characteristic of the LCD
and cannot be fully eliminated in the manufacturing process. These small black spots do not affect
the distancing performance of the unit.
Laser Range Sensor
The laser range sensor emits invisible, eye safe, infrared energy pulses. The TruPulse determines
distance by measuring the time it takes for each pulse to travel from the rangefinder to the target, and
back. The LASER indicator is displayed whenever the laser is being transmitted. The laser may be
active for a maximum of 10 seconds. Once the target is acquired or the laser has timed out, you can
release the FIRE button. The TruPulse has a broad spectrum of sensitivity and can work with both
reflective and non-reflective targets. See TruTargeting (next page) for information about high quality
and low quality targets.

LTI TruPulse360R User’s Manual Page 6

TruTargeting
The TruPulse 360R automatically provides the best accuracy and acquisition distance to a given
target. Maximum measurement distance varies with target quality and environmental conditions.
When shooting to a non-reflective target, the maximum measurement distance is approximately
1,000 meters (3,280 feet). When shooting to a reflective target, the maximum measurement distance
is approximately 2,000 meters (6,560 feet).
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 increase the unit's maximum range,
and sunny skies decrease the unit's maximum range.
Target quality has an effect on the precision of measurements. A high quality target will result
in a measurement that includes one decimal place (tenths). A low quality target will result in a
measurement that is a whole number.
Examples:
•120 feet (meters / yards) indicates a measurement was made to a low quality target.
oAccuracy: ±1 yd (±1 m).
•120.0 feet (meters / yards) indicates a measurement was made to a high quality target.
oFeet are shown in half-unit increments (.0 or .5).
oMeters and Yards are shown in tenth-unit increments (.0 - .9).
oAccuracy: ±1 foot (±30 cm).
Only International lasers include meters.
Tilt Sensor
The integrated tilt sensor measures vertical angles that the TruPulse 360R 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.


•The laser is not active in the Inclination (INC) Measurement Mode.
•Generally, the instrument measures inclination when you press . However, in
(1) the Continuous Target Mode and (2) in the Height Measurement Mode, the
inclination reading appears in the Main Display and the display updates as your
aiming point changes as long as you press . In these two situations, the measured
inclination is based upon the aiming point when you release .

Compass
The TruPulse 360R utilizes the latest in electronic compass technology. The internal circuitry
provides 3-axis monitoring of the earth’s magnetic field and uses proprietary calibration algorithms
to produce the best possible azimuth accuracy while having a simple field calibration procedure.
The TruPulse 360R evaluates the local magnetic environment during each field calibration and
provides user feedback of the quality of the calibration. In addition, the instrument has built-in
system tests, which continually monitor the integrity of the compass calibration and alert a user if a
re-calibration is required. The TruPulse 360R helps you to produce quality field results by keeping
a constant watch on its internal status.
TruVector™ Technology
Incorporated into the TruPulse 360R is LTI’s TruVector technology. This allows the instrument to
take an accurate azimuth and inclination reading no matter how it is oriented in physical space.
The TruPulse 360R can be tilted, rolled, or even upside down and it will still measure the correct
azimuth and inclination in the direction that you are viewing. This is accomplished by combining a
3-axis magnetic sensor with a 3-axis tilt sensor – so the TruPulse 360R always knows its position in
3D space, and the direction of the Earth’s magnetic field – no matter how it is oriented. TruVector
technology allows you the ultimate freedom to “shoot from any angle.”
Digital Processor
The TruPulse 360R includes LTI's proprietary ASIC chip (Application-Specific Integrated Circuit).
The ASIC chip combined with high-speed CPU processing allows the TruPulse 360R to deliver
accurate and fast measurements.
