System Operation
General Description
This chapter provides a detailed explanation of the operating characteristics of the ProLaser 4
speed detection system.
IMPORTANT The following guide to operating the ProLaser 4 lidar system is
not intended to be a training program. Before operating this unit
or any other speed measuring system, Kustom Signals, Inc.
urges all users to have training in radar and lidar speed
monitoring devices. Contact your District Manager or Kustom
Signals, Inc. at 1-800-4KUSTOM (1-800-458-7866) for further
details.
The ProLaser 4 is a versatile instrument that measures both the range and velocity of selected
targets. The advanced technology of the ProLaser 4 provides pinpoint aiming capability,
permitting the user to isolate a single vehicle out of a group.
Rather than using microwave transmission employed by traditional traffic radar systems, the
ProLaser 4 uses invisible light waves that are much higher in frequency. The beamwidth of the
ProLaser 4 is less than 3 feet (1 meter) wide at a target range of 1000 (305 meters) feet, which
provides the user with target specific identification.
The technology used by the ProLaser 4 to measure distances and speeds is referred to as
lidar, which stands for light detection and ranging. When the trigger is pulled, the ProLaser 4
sends out hundreds of invisible infrared laser light pulses per second. As each pulse is
transmitted, a timer is started, and when the energy of a laser pulse is reflected from a target
and received by the ProLaser 4, the timer is stopped. From the elapsed time taken for the
laser pulse to strike and return from the target, the distance to the object is calculated with the
known speed of light through the atmosphere. If the target is moving with respect to the
ProLaser 4, a sophisticated algorithm is used to derive the speed of the target from a
successive number of range calculations. This speed determination is then displayed to the
user.
Tips for Nighttime Operation
When operating the ProLaser 4 at night, the user may want to adjust the brightness of the rear
display and the HUD to compensate for the lower ambient light levels. Otherwise, the HUD
may be lost in the headlights of approaching vehicles, if using the single aiming reticle.
System Operation
ProLaser 4 2-2 Manual Part Number:
006-0966-00 Rev. 3
Control Descriptions
In Chapter 1 Product Description, the locations of the operating controls and displays were
introduced. This chapter will provide detailed descriptions of each control and display.
IMPORTANT Use of controls, adjustments or performance of procedures
other than those specified is not recommended. Adherence to
the instructions contained in this manual insures the device
works at peak performance.
Trigger
The trigger of the ProLaser 4 performs two (2) functions. When the trigger is pulled, it
activates the firing of laser pulses and the range and speed measurement functions of the
system. When the trigger is released, it causes the ProLaser 4 to lock the current measured
speed and/or range in the HUD and rear display, depending on the current operating mode of
the ProLaser 4.
Rear Display Control Buttons
Most of the control buttons that are located adjacent to the rear display provide dual and multi-
functionality based on whether the unit is in Speed and Range mode or in Range mode, or
within the Menu setup screens.
Power Button
The power button performs two (2) functions:
Power the ProLaser 4 On and Off
Adjust the brightness of the rear display
This button is used to turn the ProLaser 4 On and Off and is used to set the brightness of the
rear display. If the ProLaser 4 is off, a single press and release of the power button will turn
the ProLaser 4 On. Once it has powered on, press and hold the power button for three (3)
seconds to power the ProLaser 4 Off. (The ProLaser 4 will go into Sleep mode after two (2)
minutes of inactivity and will completely power down after 15 minutes of inactivity.)
When operating in Speed and Range mode, or in Range mode, a single press of the power
button will bring up the Rear Display Brightness Screen. Additional presses of the power
button will increase the rear display brightness by one level until the rear display is at
maximum brightness. An additional press will reset the brightness to the minimum brightness
setting. There are five (5) brightness settings ranging from minimum to maximum. Each
increment is indicated by three (3) vertical lines. In the following graphic, there are six (6)
lines, indicating that the current setting is two (2). Pressing the power button six (6) times
cycles through all the settings (1-2-3-4-5 and back to 1).

Weather Button
The weather button performs two (2) functions:
Turn the poor weather filter On and Off
Adjust the brightness of the Head-Up Display (HUD)
When operating in Speed and Range mode, or in Range mode, a press and hold of the
weather button activates poor weather mode. A subsequent press and hold will turn this
function off.
Also, when operating in Speed and Range mode, or in Range mode, the weather button is
used to set the brightness of the HUD. A single press of the weather button will bring up the
HUD Brightness screen. Additional presses of the weather button will increase the HUD
brightness by one level until the HUD is at maximum brightness. An additional press will reset
the brightness to the minimum brightness setting. There are five (5) brightness settings
ranging from minimum to maximum. Each increment is indicated by three (3) vertical lines. In
the following graphic, there are six (6) lines, indicating that the current setting is two (2).
Pressing the weather button six (6) times cycles through all the settings
(1-2-3-4-5 and back to 1).
Avoid using excessively bright settings for lower level ambient light conditions as this makes
target identification more difficult. Upon being powered up, the ProLaser 4 automatically
defaults to the brightness level set at the factory.
Figure 2-2. Weather Button Location
In Menu setup mode, press the weather button once on any of the Menu screens to set the
unit’s Poor Weather feature. The weather icon displays on the rear display as shown above
whenever the unit is set for poor weather. This feature enables the unit to work more
efficiently in adverse weather conditions for ranges greater than 200 feet (60 meters).
In Speed and Range mode, or Range mode, press and hold the weather button for three (3)
seconds to set Poor Weather mode.

Check Button
The check button is located on the back panel. This button is used to initiate three (3)
functions.
In Speed and Range mode, or in Range mode, press and hold the check button for
three (3) seconds to initiate a self-test. Refer to Accuracy Tests in Chapter 4 Periodic
Maintenance for self-test message details.
The check button is also used to activate Display Lock after taking range or speed
readings. Press the check button once after releasing the trigger to lock the reading on
the display. The lock icon displays to indicate Display Lock. To clear the locked range
and speed displays in Lock mode, momentarily press and release the check button.
The check button is also used to select menu options. Press the button when a menu
or menu option is displayed to access the selected menu or select the displayed option.
Figure 2-3. Check Button Location
Menu Button
The Menu button is the only button on the back panel that is a single-function button. In Speed
and Range mode, or in Range mode, press the menu button to enter the ProLaser 4 Menu
system. A menu tree icon on the left side of the rear display indicates where the user is within
the menu system. Text above the up and down buttons identifies the previous and next menu
function. Due to regional regulations, not all menus are available in all areas.

Down/Volume Button
The down/volume button is used to perform the following functions:
To set the volume level of the audio alerts when the unit is in either Speed and Range
mode or Range mode
To toggle between Approaching only and Both mode
To navigate between options when in Menu mode
When operating in Speed and Range mode, or Range mode, the user can press and release
the down/volume button to increase the audio alert volume one (1) increment. There are five
(5) sound levels, from minimum to maximum, plus one (1) setting with no sound (Min-2-3-4-
Max and Off). Once the volume has reached level 5, the next press of the volume button will
turn the volume completely Off. Another press of the volume button will advance to volume
Min. setting. Each increment is indicated by three (3) lines on the display. Zero (0) lines
