Sensors
The TruSpeed has two lenses on the front panel. The top lens transmits the
infrared laser signals. The bottom lens receives the signals back from the target
and feeds signal information to the internal circuitry.
The internal circuitry consists of a laser range sensor and timing, analysis,
computation, and display circuits. The TruSpeed determines distance through its
laser range sensor, by measuring the time of flight of short pulses of infrared light.
The TruSpeed has a broad spectrum of sensitivity and can work with both
reflective and non-reflective targets. The maximum measurement distance varies
with target and environmental conditions.
•
The absolute maximum is about 650 meters.
•
Long Range
(optional feature)
absolute maximum is about 1,200 meters.
LCD Screen
The LCD Screen displays menu items, option indicators, error codes, and speed
measurement results.
Serial Port
Your TruSpeed includes a serial port located on the rear panel. The serial port
allows you to connect the instrument to a data collector or remote computer.
For information about the Serial Data Interface, see
Sighting Scope
Mounted on top of the TruSpeed is a single-power sighting scope.
•
The polarizing light filter is adjustable to
optimize viewing contrast. Figure #2 shows
the polarizing light filter's adjustment ring.
•
The in-scope aiming reticle helps you aim
accurately to the target. Figure #3 shows
reticle. This reticle represents the size of the
laser beam.
•
In-scope speed measurement display.
You can vary the intensity of the
aiming reticle to account for different
lighting conditions. For more information,
