Running the Manufacturer’s Recommended Daily Tests 

 

1) Internal Circuit Check

 

Press MENU followed by “A” on the keypad, which selects Test.  

 

The LIDAR will then automatically: 

a)  Enter the TEST/RESET Mode 
b)  Restore factory default settings 
c)  Run the internal circuit check 
d)  Run the program and dynamic memory test 
e)  Runs an LED count test (1111, 2222, …, 9999) 
f)  Defaults the HUD display to 8888 

Wait for when “Memory-OK” is displayed, which indicates that 
the test is complete. 

 

2) Light Segment Test

 

Confirm that the HUD is displaying the aiming “+” with the data 
“8888”. 

 

3) Range (Chronometer) Accuracy Test

 

Confirm that the LIDAR can correctly compute two or more known 
ranges using any 

one of the following methods:

 

a) From 

one location, range to two targets at known distances. 

b) From 

two locations, range to one target at a known distance. 

c)  Range to a random target, back up a known ‘delta’ distance, 

and confirm that LIDAR computes a new range with the 
same delta distance. Then back up a second, but different 
delta distance and confirm that LIDAR computes a new 
range that matches the new delta range. 

d)  Combine method a) with the horizontal and vertical 

alignment tests (4 and 5) on next page.  This requires that the 
targets used for the Horizontal and Vertical alignment are at 
different known ranges. 

 

Using your preferred method from above: 

a)  Stand at the selected position.  
b)  Aim at selected target.  
c)  Squeeze and hold trigger until tone sounds (range is 

computed).  

d)  Confirm that reported range is within 

±

 1 foot of expected. 

e)  Repeat steps a) thru d) using a know distance that is at least 

20 feet different then the first known distance.
