How do Laser Range
Finders work? The following is a step-by-step sequence of events a range
finder performs to acquire the distance to a target: |
| Laser Range Finder
Principles of Operation: |
1 |
A very fast pulse of laser
light is produced and emitted from the unit. |
2 |
The transmitter, receiver and monocular
are accurately aligned. |
3 |
The flight time is precisely measured
as the laser reflects off the target and back into the receiver. |
4 |
The range to the target is displayed to
the user in the LCD. |
5 |
The user is able to determine distance
to the target and plan action. |

| IP Code Rating: |
| The IP Code (or International Protection Rating,[1] sometimes also interpreted as Ingress Protection Rating) consists of the letters IP followed by two digits and an optional letter. As defined in international standard IEC 60529, it classifies the degrees of protection provided against the intrusion of solid objects (including body parts like hands and fingers), dust, accidental contact, and water in electrical enclosures. |
