IMPORTANT INFORMATION Read prior to activation You have just purchased a sophisticated electro-optical device that emits invisible laser radiation. To operate it properly, please, read this manual carefully. • NEVER direct laser beam at the eyes of people or animals • NEVER aim the unit at the Sun or bright sources of light • NEVER subject the unit to impacts • NEVER transport the unit without its case • NEVER disassemble the unit.
• Never aim the unit at highly reflective objects like mirrors and retroreflective surfaces, which are in close proximity to the laser rangefinder. This can lead to the permanent damage of the photoreceiver incorporated into the device.

OPERATION INSTRUCTIONS Preparing device for operation. Rotate the battery compartment cover (5, Fig. 1) counter clockwise and pull it open - Connect and insert battery into the battery compartment. - Close the battery compartment cover (5, Fig. 1).
• A 9V Lithium non-magnetic battery guarantees over 5,000 shots at room temperature. It is recommended for the field usage. In addition, this battery does not influence the internal compass. Note: Metal housing of the battery may degrade the compass accuracy. Measurement procedure The LRB 3000PRO operational procedures are design to allow the user to use most applicable options in the fastest time possible. To activate it, press and hold Action button (6, Fig.1) for one second.
Factors affecting measuring distance Though maximum measurement distance depends on target reflectivity, weather conditions and other conditions, for most targets the unit will provide accurate ranging for up to 2,500 meters. Under good conditions a large size target can be measured up to 3,000 meters. Target reflectivity depends on its color, surface finish, size, shape, position in relation to the laser beam, etc. Bright target colors are more reflective than darks.
smaller, the farther, and the less reflective is the target – the higher is the possibility of obtaining an incorrect measurement. To improve accuracy the unit has a built-in target selection logic that allows choosing which target to range: the nearest (‘first’), the farthest (‘last’), or the most reflective (‘auto’). This mechanism helps selecting the target when ranging from behind the bushes, wires, through the falling snow, or in similar conditions.
parameters are measured in the Scanning regime though both will be quickly displayed, the second one may be difficult to register by eye. Nevertheless all data is recorded and may be recalled (see Data Recall mode for details.) Operation and service modes Pressing Mode button (3, Fig.1) in Ready mode switches the unit between modes of operation, to activate any desired mode from the menu you must confirm your selection by pressing Action button (4, Fig.
o Compass from Mils to Degrees o Speed from KMH to MPH** rEc – allows data recall of the last 10 measurement results, o CLr – Clears all Measurement SEt – allows the user to select the following advanced options: o FrSt – First Target Measurement o LASt – Last Target Measurement o AUtO – Last Target Measurement* o Reticule – Change reticule from + (cross) to (rectangle) o CAL – Calibration and correction ▪ CALc – compass calibration ▪ Corr – accuracy correction of active measurement parameters.
Accuracy correction If the System produces some measurement errors that lie beyond unit specification, it may be an indication that unit requires calibration similar to one conducted at production level. To do accuracy correction, please select Corr from CAL menu.
2 – Target should not have high-reflective surface (white color is not considered high reflective in this case. 3 – Unit shall be well leveled with deviation from 0 not more than ±0.75 degrees. Horizontal direction shall be to Magnetic North (not True North). If devices detects large installation errors (unit is not well leveled or not aimed to the North), then LCD will show result “444”, which means that correction was not performed due to incorrect setup.
Data Recall mode In Data Recall mode results of the last 10 measurements can be displayed. Measurement results are saved in on-board memory in sets depending on the parameters set for measuring, for instance, if only distance is measured - the set will consist of one number, if distance and azimuth are measured – the set will consist of two numbers. To enter Data Recall mode select rEc from main menu. First measurement set number (display name: rEc 1) will start flashing.
6. BEST MEASURING TECHNIQUE Laser range finder measures distance by catching laser beam reflected from the target. Everything that improves reflection increases the measurement reliability and maximum range. 1. Use tripod when ranging remote targets. The longer is the distance, the greater is the beam shift due to hand tremor. 2. Aim the unit at a surface on the target that is the closest to perpendicular to the laser beam. The better perpendicular to the target – the stronger will be the reflection. 3.
7. STORAGE AND MAINTENANCE The unit is a sophisticated precision optical instrument equipped with laser and electronics. Therefore, it should be handled with due care. • Keep it away from direct sunlight. • Avoid impacts, jolts, dust, moisture, and sharp changes of temperature. • Do not use the device at temperatures higher than 50oC (122oF). • Do not touch optical surfaces. Doing so may damage the anti-reflection coating. • Clean optical surfaces only with professional camera lens cleaning supplies.
8. TROUBLESHOOTING Ranging does not work. The display is transparent. Check the charge of the battery. Replace it if it is weak. Ranging does not work. The display indicates results of the last measurement. Wait until display becomes transparent, and press the Action button again. Compass readings are equal to zero at any direction. Wait until display becomes transparent, and press the Action button again. If this does not help, perform the compass calibration.
