Newcon Optik LRB 6000CI, Operation Manual

6.5V this indicates that the battery is used up. You can still get readings, 
but the battery needs to be replaced soon.

 Using the Device 

The LRB 6000CI 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. At start the unit 
comes into Ready to Measure

mode indicated by the word ‘READY’ on 

the display visible through the eyepiece. 
Pressing Action button (6, Fig. 1) again will initiate measurement 
procedure. The results of measurement are displayed in default form of 
“Distance (M), Azimuth (mils) and Elevation (mils)” measurement 
parameters also can be modified to user preference (see Setup Mode).  
If results of measurement are unreliable four dashes (‘----‘) will be 
displayed in the area (4, Fig. 3).  
Pressing Mode button (5, Fig. 1) gives the user the options to change 
settings from Factory default to specific modes required by user. For full 
list of Mode options please refer to Operation and Service modes 
If the target is located below the unit the result of vertical measurement 
(elevation or height) will be preceded with minus (“-“) sign. 

Factors affecting measuring distance 

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. A polished surface is more reflective than a rough 
one. Larger targets reflect better than small ones. Ranging a target 
perpendicular to the laser beam provides better results than the one 
positioned at a sharp angle to the beam. 
Weather conditions that influence air transparency (rain, fog, snow, mist) 
reduce maximum range. Bright sunny days will reduce performance as 
well as IR sun radiation may cover reflected laser impulses.  
While the unit will measure through many glass types, measuring 
through glass may reduce accuracy.  
Natural hand tremor decreases the accuracy of long distance ranging. 
Using of a tripod is highly recommended. 
Note: device may produce false readings when reticle is aimed at the sun 
or in ± 20

˚

 solid angle from the sun.
