WARRANTY

The HELIX 1500 is not just any rangefinder. Despite its ultra-

lightweight & compact form, this unit will present you with an

accurate firing solution out to 1500 Meters, harnessing the full power

of the integrated Ballistics Chip to factor in weather conditions,

incline, spin drift and more. Create a ballistic profile on an app, send

it across in seconds, and have the relevant data displayed on a crisp

T-OLED Display.!

INTRODUCTION & OVERVIEW

Battery Enclosure

The HELIX 1500 uses a CR2 Battery. This comes pre-installed from the

factory, but has a protective film that needs to be removed. To open

the battery compartment:

1) Lift up the finger tab (Fig 1.1)

2) Twist the cap anti-clockwise to unscrew (Fig 1.2)

Remove the protective film from the top of the battery, and refit

battery cap.

ALWAYS install battery with the flat side (negative) facing DOWN, and

positive side facing up as shown in Fig 1.3

BATTERY INSTALLATION

Fig.1

CLASS 3R LASER PRODUCT

Avoid direct exposure to eyes

As with all optical devices, the HELIX 1500 will need to be adjusted to

your eye.

1) To start, hold the unit up to your eye and look through the eyepiece

towards a featureless background.

2) Then, switch on the display by pressing the red RANGE

button (Fig

2.1) and turn the diopter (Fig 2.2) until the display appears sharply in

focus.

3) Display Brightness can be adjusted by holding in the RANGE

button

and then pressing the black MODE button (Fig 2.3) to cycle through

the 6 brightness settings.

OBTAINING A CLEAR IMAGE

Fig.2

The HELIX 1500 has a Dual-Colour Transparent OLED (T-OLED) Display.

It is important to understand what each icon means before

continuing.

1) LASER RETICLE: Hold this on the object you want to range.

2) LASER ACTIVITY INDICATORS:

These 4 Green lines illuminate when a

laser beam is being emitted.

3) INCLINOMETER:

Indicates the angle (degrees) of the target being

ranged.

DISPLAY ORIENTATION

4. DISTANCE TO TARGET: Displayed in METERS (M) or YARDS (Y). To switch

between M and Y, Double-Tap the black MODE button.

5. RANGING MODE:

"LOS (LINE OF SIGHT): Direct distance to target

"HCD (HORIZONTAL COMPONENT DISTANCE): The angle-compensated

distance to your target, useful when referencing a bullet drop chart

for given distances.

"BAL.C (BALLISTIC CALCULATOR): Direct Target Distance shown, but

additionally, Elevation & Windage data also displayed.

6. TARGET PRIORITY MODE:

"FIRST: The processor prioritises the signal from the closest target

detected. Useful when ranging an object in an open field.

"LAST: The processor prioritises the signal from the closest target

detected. Useful when ranging through vegetation.

"NONE (BEST): The processor prioritises the strongest signal returned.

"SCAN MODE can be activated by holding in the RANGE button. This

gives a continuous distance readout.

7. LOW BATTERY INDICATOR: It’s time to plug me in.

8. ELEVATION: Shown as a numerical value and U (up) or D (down).

9. BALLISTIC SOLUTION UNIT: Shown as MRAD or MOA (more on Page 9)

10. DEVICE CONNECTED: Displayed when the HELIX 1500 is paired to the

Element Ballistics App or a HYPR Riflescope.

11. WINDAGE: Shown as a numerical value and L (left) or R (Right). More

information on Page 9.

The HELIX 1500 features a number of different ranging and targeting

modes, making it easier to obtain an accurate reading in challenging

conditions.

RANGING MODES:

By changing Ranging Modes, you allow the processor to change the way it

reads out the data it has measured. As demonstrated in the below graphic,

LOS

mode gives you the direct distance to the target you have ranged, while

HCD mode gives you the horizontal component of that distance, i.e. the actual

distance multiplied by the cosine of the angle. Since gravity only acts

vertically, the HCD more accurately predict how much bullet drop you need to

account for.

To cycle between LOS, HCD and BAL.C

, use short presses of the black MODE

button.

RANGING & TARGETING MODES

LOS HCD BAL.C

TARGET PRIORITY MODES:

No matter how powerful the laser system in a rangefinder is, a returning

laser signal still has to be read and processed. The processor may receive

multiple return signals from different objects downrange, and needs to

predict which one is the one you want a reading for. By changing modes, you

can instruct the processor to focus on specific data, giving you a better

chance of obtaining the reading you want. These modes are summarised in

PAGE 5.

To switch between Target Priority Modes, hold in the black MODE button for 3

Seconds.

The HELIX 1500 also has a SCAN

function which can be used in any mode. To

activate, simply hold in the red RANGE

button. This will give a continuous

reading for a few seconds. This feature is useful when trying to obtain a

reading off a small target - By scanning past the target and watching the

readout, you may be able to detect a sudden change in the range value,

possibly indicating a return signal from the small target as the beam passes

by.

FIRST LAST BEST

(no icon)

The HELIX 1500 is compatible with a number of

external Bluetooth devices, including the

Element HYPR-7 and, most importantly, the

Element Ballistics mobile app, from which you

can create & send ballistic profiles and change

preferences.

HYPR-7

The HELIX 1500 will automatically pair with the HYPR-7 when in range,

displaying the “device connected” icon:

When paired, the rangefinder transmits range & incline data to the riflescope,

providing an instant firing solution with no need for manual input. Note that

when in BAL.C

mode, the HELIX 1500 will display ballistic data from the

HYPR-7, bypassing its own ballistic chip. This means that a spotter/shooter

pair will always be working with the same data.

ELEMENT BALLISTICS APP

The Element Ballistics App is available for free on the Apple and Android app

stores. Before using the Ballistic Calculator function on the HELIX 1500, you

will need to install the app and create a profile for your rifle.
