1.2 RANGE

The Labradar LX is a consumer level device that was designed for amateur use only. The performance of the units has been optimized to offer the most accurate results, but it is possible that some reading may not be accurate, hence it is the responsibility of the user to determine whether or not the readings are good or not to their satisfaction. Infinition
and its subsidiaries will not be responsible for inaccurate readings.

In order to achieve the best accuracy possible, the user must use the product correctly and take care of some details:

  • Make sure that the Labradar LX is aligned correctly with the target
  • Make sure that the position of the gun relative to the Labradar LX is correct.
  • Use a firing range that has no obstacles or obtrusions close to or in the line of fire. (Clear line of sight)

Due to microwaves signals nature, range performance of the Labradar LX can differ epending on the environmental conditions:

  • Temperature;
  • Humidity;
  • Particles in the air;
  • Signal reflection on the ground, trees, wall and any other surface in the line of fire.
  • Frequency channel used for transmission;
  • Electrical Interference in the area;
  • Etc.

In addition, the projectile’s characteristics will also affect the range performance of the Labradar LX, such as:

  • Projectile’s diameter;
  • Projectile’s tail design;
  • Projectile’s shape;
  • Projectile’s position while travelling in the air;
  • Subparticles (ie. Sabot, wads);
  • Etc.

Thus, it is a known fact that range performance can vary, even for the same bullet calibers depending on the manufacturer of the bullet, the model of the bullet, the firearm used to fire the bullet, the tail shape of the bullet, etc.

Infinition and its subsidiaries cannot explicitly guarantee a range performance and thus will not be responsible for range performance variations.

2.2 RECOMMENDED SETUP

  • MOUNTING THE RADAR ON THE TRIPOD

At the base of the radar there is a ¼-20 Standard mounting screw to mount the Labradar on standard tripod and ount. Whether mounted on a tripod or on a support attached to the weapon, the radar must always be placed parallel to the weapon, antenna oriented in target’s direction and the screen rear facing.

NOTE: The Labradar LX should be able to capture shots even when alignment with the target is not perfect,
as long as it is pointing in the right direction.

WARNING: Place the Labradar LX in a position where it will not be impacted by ejecting cartridge cases, muzzle debris/blast or other items.

  • RIFLE GUIDELINES

Position the radar behind the Muzzle exit, so it does not get blasted directly by the rifle. For optimal results and recision, The distance between the barrel and the Labradar LX
should be between 0.1m to 0.5m (4” to 20”) , same for the distance between the Muzzle exit and the radar . Out of this range, measurements can still be shown but the precision on the measurement will ultimately be affected
For quiet rifles, a shorter distance is recommended for proper shot detection.

  • HANDGUN GUIDELINES

Position the radar behind the Muzzle exit, same as in rifle mode. For optimal results and precision, The distance between the barrel and the Labradar LX should be between 0.1m to 0.5m (4” to 20”) , same for the distance between the Muzzle exit and the radar . Out of this range, measurements can still be shown but the precision on the measurement will ultimately be affected For quiet rifles, a shorter distance is recommended for proper shot detection.

  • AIR RIFLE GUIDELINES

Position the radar behind the Muzzle exit. For optimal results and precision, The distance between the barrel and the Labradar LX should be between 0.1m to 0.5m (4” to 20”) , same for the distance between the Muzzle exit and the radar . Out of this range, measurements can still be shown but the precision on the measurement will ultimately be affected Set the trigger level to the lowest value when the noise from the shot fired is really quiet.
Some Air rifle will require to get closer than 20” in order to detect the shot properly.

GENERAL CONSIDERATIONS :

  • Mounting the device on a rifle is possible, but care should be taken to ensure that the radar will never cause instability or cause the firearm to be dangerous. It is customer esponsibility to understand how to properly install and use the device when mounted in a safe manner at all time.
