Impulse Laser Rangefinder

trim	Impulse Laser Rangefinders

Professional Laser Rangefinder for:

	Distance and Height Measurement
	GPS Offset Mapping & GIS Data Capture (Interfaces directly with Trimble Pro XR GPS, through its built-in RS232 interface)
	Mine Face and Rock Outcrop Profiling
	Timber Cruising
	Space Planning

The IMPULSE is a light-weight, low cost laser for a full range of professional measuring. The Impulse puts the power and speed of a laser rangefinder and optional tilt sensor into the palm of your hand. Simply aim and push a button. The Impulse acquires distance or height in less than a second, all without prisms or reflective targets. The addition of the MapStar Compass Module to the Impulse enables highly accurate offset mapping.

Now it's not only economically possible for you to get the fastest laser-sharp measurements ever, it's also convenient. Reduced size and weight make it possible for field workers to operate the Impulse with one hand and simply clip it onto a belt for quick-access carrying.

The Impulse's point-and-shoot operation and serial output communication combine to simplify a number of surveying and mapping tasks. These include: timber cruising, mine face profiling, GIS data capture, GPS offset mapping, material estimating for job bids, space planning, and general distance and height measurement.

The serial port outputs data directly to available mapping software or the Trimble Pro XR GPS system.

Features

	Rugged, waterproof, one-piece aluminum housing built for every working environment
	6 digit backlit LCD display provides readability for day and night operation
	Audio and visual indicators assure confidence of positive target acquisition
	Accomplish a variety of tasks with on-board solutions for height, horizontal distance, vertical distance, percent slope and grads
	Determine traverse lengths or perimeters with the internal cumulative distance capability
	The range difference mode applies constant offsets to your measurements or determines the distance between two in-line objects
	When necessary, use range gating to ensure target readings are only within your specified work area
	RS232 serial output gives you the option to store data externally; data is transferred either automatically or by a manual key press
	Built-in electronic filter sees through brush to discriminate reflective targets
