Canadian DragonEye Speed LIDAR

® 

Operator Manual 

seconds after the speed is locked, the display will clear and prepare 
for a new reading.  If no buttons are pressed for 30 seconds after the 
speed reading is locked, the unit will go into a sleep mode, turning 
off the HUD and displaying

 

“Power-Save” on

 

the rear panel along

 

with the locked reading.  In the Power-Save state, a first laser trigger 
pull will “wake”

 

the LIDAR

 

but retain the locked reading.  A second

 

pull will then clear the reading.  This feature is intended to aid in 
preventing the operator from accidentally clearing the locked 
reading. 

Range Mode 

The LIDAR system can be used to measure distances to a variety of 

targets.  To enter Range Mode, press the Mode Button 

until 

the rear panels displays: 

Use the aiming reticle in the HUD to select your desired target.  
Squeeze and hold the trigger until a range reading is displayed in the 
HUD and on the rear panel display.  The trigger may be continuously 
held as the unit is moved from target to target for quickly checking 
multiple ranges.  The last range reading in the display is locked when 
the trigger is released.  Range readings are displayed in tenths of a 
metre on the rear panel and in the HUD up to 999.9 metres.  Above 
this, range readings are displayed to the nearest integer metre.
