Us a g e
Laser range nders use a low-intensity eye-safe laser to measure the
distance to a target object. Apart from regular operation Ranger LS010A
features a special mode that ignores interference from close-by objects
such as foliage and fencing, and two additional modes to ensure accurate
readings in the rain or under foggy conditions.

Mode:4.
<a. blank> - standard mode.
“RAIN” - for rainy conditions to measure distance to objects more b.
than 60 metres away.
“REFL” – for conditions of thin fog or heavy humidity.c.
“>150” – ignore interference by close-by (closer than 150 metres) d.
small objects such as branches, fence wires etc., that lie between
you and the target you are ranging.
The number of arrows following the word “QUALITY” shows the quality 5.
of the ranging signal. 6 or more arrows means a good enough return
signal for a distance reading.
The word “LASER” ashes when the range nder is emitting the range-6.
nding beam.
“BATT” battery low indicator.7.
oP e r a t i o n
Look through the eyepiece and rotate it to adjust the image so that it is 1.
sharp and clear.
Press and release the trigger button to activate the LCD screen.2.
Place the target object under the centre circle and press and hold the 3.
trigger button to read the range.
The display remains active for 15 seconds before shutting-off.4.
It is recommended that the object is ranged at least twice for best 5.
accuracy by depressing the trigger button a second time for three
seconds while the display is still active.
A bad reading is indicated by three short lines “- - -” if a distance reading is
not obtained after three seconds.
You can use the “mode” button to change the operation mode from standard
to “>150”, “RAIN” or “REFL” to a) ignore interference from close-by objects
such as foliage and fencing, b) ensure accurate readings in the rain, or c)
when using the laser under foggy conditions. When switched on the unit
reverts to the mode last used.
To change the distance unit (metres / yards), press and hold the “mode”
button down for three seconds.
The maximum range a target distance can be measured is affected by the
following four variables:

- 4 -
The size of the object being measured,1.
the angle of the surface being measured with respect to the laser 2.
beam,
weather conditions, and3.
reectivity of the surface being measured.4.
Generally speaking you can range targets further on a clear day, with larger
targets that are highly reective and with surfaces perpendicular to the laser
beam than you can with small light-absorbent targets standing at an angle
in misty or rainy weather.
