GEN II LIGHTWAVE™ DSP TECHNOLOGY
SIG SAUER’s proprietary Gen II Lightwave DSP engine leverages HyperScan – an advanced
power management technique that provides the fastest refresh rate in scan mode (4 times
per second) even at distances up to a mile. Our DSP engine uses the latest generation eld
programmable gate array (FPGA) running sophisticated signal processing algorithms to reduce
false positives while nding weak or distant targets.
RANGING ACCURACY, RESOLUTION AND MAXIMUM RANGES
The KILO6K™ provides line of sight or angle modied range information accurate to ±0.5 yards
or meters out to 500 yards; ±1 yard from 500 - 1000 yards and ±2 yards beyond 1000 yards.
Range is displayed in 0.1 yard or meter resolution.

SIG SAUER BALLISTIC DATA XCHANGE 2.0 (BDX 2.0)
SIG SAUER’s Patent Pending BDX system takes the guesswork out of determining the proper
range and ballistics solution for hitting your target with the rst round. Low Energy Bluetooth
combined with an embedded ballistic calculator (Applied Ballistics Ultralight) allows the user
to congure up to 25, custom bullet proles on the free BDX App and sync to your KILO®. Line
of sight range, elevation and wind hold information is calculated instantly and displayed based
on the active prole. When combined with one of SIG SAUER’s BDX enabled riescopes, the
user ranges a target and the ring solution is instantly shared with the BDX riescope where the
holdover dot is selectively illuminated.
BDX 2.0 has several new features for customers that want to get up and running without using
the BDX smartphone App. Your KILO has 8 embedded ballistic groups. The rst 6 groups are
for centerre ries. Group 1 is the attest shooting group with the least amount of drop. As
the group numbers increase, so does the bullet drop. Using the included Ballistic Groups card,
locate your caliber from the provided list. If your rounds are impacting low then move to a higher
numbered group. If your rounds are impacting high then move to a lower numbered group.
Group 7 represents common muzzleloaders and Group 8 represents an average crossbow.
You can access these ballistic groups through the normal rangender conguration process by
turning on the KILO and holding down the MODE button to enter programming mode.

9
QuickBOND™ allows you to quickly bond your KILO® to a SIERRA™ riescope. On the SIERRA
riescope, insert the batteries and turn on to illumination setting 1. Then turn on the KILO by
pressing and releasing the RANGE button. Press and hold down both the RANGE and MODE
buttons for at least three seconds while looking through the KILO at the display. Once the
display in the rangender reads “BOND” then “GOOD” your devices have been bonded (blue
LED on the SIERRA should now be solid blue). Your calculated ballistic hold for any of the 8
ballistic groups or for a custom gun prole are now actively synced to your SIERRA riescope.

10
GENERAL OPERATION
Your rangender provides 4 modes of operation: AMR, LOS, BDX-U (AB Ultralite), and BDX-X.
AMR and LOS will be explained in the section. When BDX-U is selected the user can pair the
KILO®with a nearby smartphone where the BDX App should already be installed. The user
congures a bullet prole in the app, which is actively synced with a paired rangender. For
example, the user downloads and installs the BDX App, selects a 0.308 caliber bullet and
chooses a Barnes LRXBT 200 gr bullet – this prole is selected and saved in real-time. The user
will then congure the muzzle velocity, zero range, temperature and altitude within the BDX App.
Applied Ballistics External (BDX-X) allows the KILO to be paired with an external Kestrel or
Garmin with Applied Ballistics, for more precise ballistic solutions beyond 800 yds. AB Elite
includes support for Coriolis, spin drift and other factors while providing custom drag curves for
the most accurate ballistic solutions in the industry.

11
MODES OF OPERATION - ANGLE MODIFIED RANGE (AMR) AND LINE OF
SIGHT (LOS)
Angle modied range is the equivalent horizontal range to the target and is comparable to the
“horizontal leg” of a triangle. AMR is also known as “rieman’s rule” and uses the LOS range and
angle of incline to calculate the horizontal distance the projectile travels between shooter and
target. AMR is very accurate for shorter distances (i.e. < 400 yards) and archery.
Line of sight is the range to the target independent of angle. It is comparable to the “hypotenuse”
of a triangle. When ranging in LOS mode, the distance is displayed in addition to the angle of
incline. This method is preferred for those long range shooters and hunters wanting to use the
LOS range and angle of incline to calculate a very precise holdover using a ballistic calculator
smartphone application and/or wind measurement device.
For example, if the rangender is in LOS mode the line of sight range of 500 yards would be
displayed along with the angle of -30 (degrees decline). Use LOS in combination with a ballistic
calculator to calculate an exact holdover in minutes of angle or milliradians.
If the rangender is in AMR mode the angle modied range of 433.0 yards would be displayed.
This is the equivalent horizontal range and can be used in combination with a ballistic / holdover
reticle or with the SIG Ballistic Turret SBT™ dial.

12
ANGLE MODIFIED RANGE
Example:
LOS range of 500
yards at 30’ decline is
equivalent to an AMR
range of 433 yards

13
APPLIED BALLISTICS ULTRALIGHT (BDX-U)
Your rangender has an embedded ballistics solver developed by SIG SAUER, Applied Ballistics
and nVisti. By pairing your KILO®with the free BDX App you can enter custom ballistics
information for up to 25 bullet proles and sync one at a time to your KILO. The active ballistic
prole is now saved on your KILO, and when in BDX-U mode, will provide an accurate ballistic
solution out to 800 yards maximum. The LOS range and angle of incline will be displayed for
2 seconds, then the elevation holdover value and nally the windage hold. This range and
holdover information will continue to be displayed for 30 seconds or longer depending upon the
time-out setting in the BDX App.
Wind direction and wind speed can also be congured within the App. The smartphone will
actively sync all inputs with the KILO and the KILO can then be used without a smartphone.
BDX provides a ring solution out to a maximum of 800 yards. Custom drag curves are not
provided within the BDX App. For users that require more precision or will be shooting further
than 800 yards, the KILO6K™ with Applied Ballistics Elite is the preferred solution. When in
BDX-U or BDX-X mode, paired and bonded with a BDX enabled sight the Bluetooth icon will
be visible and will ash when a new ballistic solution is calculated – which conrms your BDX
enabled sight received the new holdover information.

14
Example: LOS range = 568.6 yards with 0.308 Barnes
Elevation adjustment = 18.19 MOA Up
Windage adjustment = 7.59 MOA Right
Line of Sight (LOS) range of 568.6 yards at 4 degrees incline

OPERATION
The KILO6K™ is designed to get you up and running without the typical complexity of buried
menus and programming modes. The rangenders come out of box in the following conguration
and can also be congured with the free BDX App:
A. Angle Modied Range (equivalent horizontal range)
B. Best Target (rangender returns the best or most likely target, not the rst or last)
C. Illumination control (AUTO)
D. Units of Measure in Yards

18
SET UP
Installing the Battery
Remove the battery cap by turning the cap in a counterclockwise direction. Insert (1) CR2 Primary
Lithium battery (+) terminal side rst. The (–) terminal should be facing out. Place the cap onto the (–)
battery terminal and reinstall the battery cap by turning the cap in the clockwise direction.
BE CAREFUL TO NOT CROSS-THREAD THE CAP.
CAUTION

ATTACHING THE HARNESS
Attach the harness to the binocular by taking the small connector straps and looping them
through the attachment points on both sides of the binocular. Next connect the shoulder straps
to the upper buckles on the binocular pouch and place over your head. Connect the lower back
straps to the lower buckles on the binocular pouch and adjust straps to a comfortable t.
