1. BRIEF DESCRIPTION
LRB 7X50 (SPD) Laser Range Finder Binocular is an
advanced Laser Range Finder system that provides instant
distance measurements consistently and accurately. The
stereoscopic device provides convenient observation with both
eyes. The user can measure the distance to an object without
loosing sight of the target. Therefore, the LRB 7X50 (SPD)
substitutes a need for two separate devices (binocular and range
finder) combining both requirements in a single device.
There are black dots in the image.
A LCD (Liquid Crystal Display) is installed in the optical channels
of the device. Due to manufacturing imperfections in the
production process of the LCD, small black dots, scratches and
other blemishes might be visible. Those blemishes are strictly
regulated for maximum allowed number, size and location. It does
not degrade the product's performance.
The outstanding optics provide a sharp, clear image under all
conditions. LRB 7X50 (SPD) is utilizing a revolutionary digital
design, which is outperforming any other product in its class and
price range.
Range measurement cannot be obtained.
•
Check if range detection mode is activated (message READY
appears on the LCD display)
•
•
Check if Active Button is pressed
The unit sends invisible, eye safe laser beam pulses to the target.
The returned beams are captured by the digital circuitry. The
time differential allows us to calculate the distance to the target.
Make sure that neither your hand nor finger is blocking
objective lenses (Laser emitting lens or Receiver lens).
Check if the unit is steady while pressing Action button.

TARGET REFLECTION MED - when the number of
steady received reflected signals is in medium range and
enough to make positive conclusion about the measured
distance;
TARGET REFLECTION HIGH - when the number of
steady received reflected signals is qualified to be enough to
make reliable conclusion about the measured distance.

The displayed statistical qualification of the reflected signal
characterizes variation in expected accuracy of measurements. At
qualification HIGH the accuracy of measurements is stated as
±1m or ± 0.1%. At lower rates of statistical qualification the
expected accuracy may marginally degrade.

Pressing Action button (6) (fig. 1) at this point triggers a distance
measuring session, and the result will be displayed in numerical
form (4) (fig. 3) (if measurement is unsuccessful then four dashes
‘----‘ will appear in the numerical area). Please note that the target
must be over 20m away.
5.1. Preparing the Device for Operation
•
•
•
Unbolt a screw and open battery compartment cover at the
bottom of the device.
Insert one 9V battery (sold separately) into the battery
compartment observing correct polarity.
If the Action button (6) is held (pressed) for more than 3 seconds
the System automatically enters SCANNING mode. This feature
is not available on all versions.
Close up the battery compartment cover, tighten the screw.
After changing the battery, it is recommended to run the CL
(CLEAR) mode (refer mode selection procedure).
At this mode the System repetitively performs distance measuring
and displaying. The time interval between measurements is
approximately 1 second.
•
•
•
Take off lens caps
Look through the eyepieces (1) (fig. 1).
Adjust interpupilary distance by turning lever (9) (fig. 2)
until two images converge into one
The maximum measuring range for most objects will be 1512m.
The maximum measured distance will vary greatly depending on
the reflectivity of the target, weather conditions and more.
•
Make dioptric correction individually for each eye by
rotating rubber rings (4) (fig. 2) of each eyepiece
Target reflectivity depends on its color, surface finish, shape etc.
Bright colors are more reflective than darks. A polished surface is
more reflective than a rough one. Larger targets are easier for
distance measuring. Measuring a target faced at 90o (perpendicular
to the laser beams path) provides optimal results.
Bad weather conditions (rain, fog, snow, mist) will reduce the
maximum measured range.
Now your unit is ready for operation as a conventional 7x
binocular (passive state).
5.2. Distance Measuring Procedure
a. Measuring state
When the Rangefinder is in the passive, low power state, the
LCD Display is blank (transparent).
Pressing any of the operating buttons activates the System and
the Display. Initially the System always assumes READY mode
of operation and word READY appears on the Display.
Bright sunny days will reduce performance as well
While the unit will work through many glass types, measuring through
glass will affect the results.
