Section 1 - Introducing the LTI TruPulse 200 

Congratulations on the purchase of your TruPulse, a cost-effective professional rangefinder. This 
compact and lightweight laser is a flexible tool for your measurement needs. The TruPulse includes 
five measurement modes, five target modes, and serial data output. 

Features of the TruPulse 200: 

Crystal clear optics and the heads up display lets you keep your eye on the target. 

"Thru-the-lens" viewing eliminates parallax issues so you know the laser energy is 
traveling directly along your line of sight.

The laser sensor and integrated tilt sensor measure slope distance, horizontal distance, 
vertical distance, inclination, or instantly calculate the height of any object. 

The Target Mode allows you to select or eliminate targets; which helps you take
the most accurate measurement possible in a variety of field conditions. 

Adjustable eyepiece provides comfortable viewing for eye or sunglass wearers. 

Measurement data is available for download via wired RS232 serial and/or Bluetooth 
wireless communication.
