PRECAUTIONS

Avoid staring directly at the laser beam for prolonged periods of time.

The Impulse is designed to meet stringent F.D.A. eye safety requirements and is classified as eye-safe to Class 1

limits, which means that virtually no hazard is associated with directly viewing the laser output under normal

conditions. As with any laser device, however, it is recommended that you avoid staring into the transmit aperture for

prolonged periods while firing the laser.

Never attempt to view the sun through the scope.

Looking at sun through the scope may permanently damage your eyes.

Never point the instrument directly at the sun.

Exposing the lens system to direct sunlight, even for a brief

period, may permanently damage the laser transmitter.

Do not expose the instrument to extreme temperatures.

Impulse components are rated for a temperature range of -30°C (-22°F) to +60°C (+140°F). Do not expose the

instrument to temperatures outside of that range.

FOREWORD

The Laser Technology, Inc. Impulse is a light-weight, hand-held laser ranging instrument that allows you to quickly

and conveniently measure distances, heights, and vertical angles. The Impulse uses sensors to measure distances

and vertical angles, and menu-driven software to convert sensor readings to meaningful measurements.

The Impulse can be held easily in one hand and features simple three-finger operation: you execute most primary

operations simply by sighting your target through the scope and briefly pressing one of three buttons conveniently

located at your fingertips.

This manual covers the options, characteristics, and operation of these Impulse models: Impulse 200, Impulse

200LR, Impulse 100, and Impulse 100LR. Your particular Impulse may not have all the options described.

The Impulse 100 and 100LR take The Impulse 200 and 200LR take

these measurements: these measurements:

- Slope Distance - Slope Distance

- Cumulative and Difference Distance - Horizontal distance

- Vertical Distance

-Height

- Inclination

- Cumulative and difference distance

The LR (“long range”) models function identically to a standard Impulse, but provide

longer ranging capability to non-cooperative targets.

Inserting the Batteries

Load the batteries by inserting them positive-end-

first into the battery compartment on the Impulse’s

back panel.

Twist the battery compartment cap

clockwise, finger tight, to secure it.

Warning: Do not use the new style of AA

batteries with the “voltage check” feature built

into the cell.

The “voltage check” cells are slightly larger in

diameter and will cause problems when inserting

into and extracting from the battery compartment.

The diameter of the battery tube on your Impulse

was chosen carefully to allow easy in/out of normal

AA batteries with no excess room for cell shifting

and possible loss of contact. Note that voltage

check batteries will cause similar problems with

most standard metal tube AA flashlights. Laser

Technology will not be responsible for damage to

the unit as a result of trying to force these new style

cells in or out of the battery tube. Do not peel off

the voltage check wrapper; this can cause an

instrument short circuit.

In addition, the instrument has its own battery

voltage monitor, thus eliminating the need for

voltage check cells.
