1. BRIEF DESCRIPTION  
Do not touch the optical surfaces with fingers. Doing so  
may damage the anti-reflection coating.  
LRB 4000CI Laser Rangefinder Binocular is the advanced  
Laser Range Finder system that provides instant distance, speed,  
and angular measuring consistently and accurately. The  
outstanding optics provides a sharp, clear image under all  
conditions. LRB utilizes a revolutionary digital design, which  
outperforms any other product in its class and price range.  
Avoid shocks and sharp jolts.  
Cleaning of optical surfaces is only allowed with  
professional camera lens cleaning supplies.  
To clean the exterior of the device, use a soft clean cloth.  
Keep away from heating appliances and central heating.  
Remove the battery when storing the device for long period  
of time.  
The unit sends an invisible, eye safe laser beam pulses to the  
target. The returned beams are captured by the digital circuitry.  
The time differential allows us to calculate the distance to the  
target. Built-in digital compass measures angle between the  
optical axis and direction to the North Pole. Built-in inclinometer  
allows elevation angle measuring together with height (depth)  
calculations.  
The manufacturer only can make repair works.

There are four statistical qualifications of the reflected signal:  
NO TARGET REFLECTION – when a steady reflected  
signal isn’t received. Numerical display shows four dashes at  
the distance displaying area;  
TARGET REFLECTION LOW – when the number of  
steady received reflected signals is just enough to make  
acceptable conclusion about the measured distance;  
TARGET REFLECTION MED - when the number of  
steady received reflected signals is in medium range and  
enough to make positive conclusion about the measured  
distance;

TARGET REFLECTION HIGH - when the number of  
steady received reflected signals is qualified to be enough to  
make reliable conclusion about the measured distance.  
The displayed statistical qualification of the reflected signal  
characterizes variation in expected accuracy of measurements. At  
qualification HIGH the accuracy of measurements is stated as  
±1m ± 0.1%. At lower rates of statistical qualification the  
expected accuracy may marginally degrade.

3. SUPPLIED ACCESSORIES  
LRB is supplied in the following assembly:  
The display presents message LOW BAT – when voltage of  
the primary 9-volt battery drops below 7.2 volt. At this point the  
System is still functional but the battery should be replaced as  
soon as possible. The System can operate at the voltage level  
above 7 volt. Alkaline or lithium type of batteries capable to  
sustain current drain up to 150 mA should be used for powering  
the System.

Shape of the reticle: cross shape or rectangular shape (2).  
rEC1 - recall function. Upon pressing the Action button (6) (fig.  
1) the Display will sequentially show results of last 10  
measurements, starting from the latest one. The number  
appearing after word "rEC" shows the number of the  
measurement counted back in the sequence. When the System is  
in inactive state the 10 previous measurements are stored within  
the System and may be recalled at any time.  
cLr - clear data function: upon pressing the Action button (6)  
(fig. 1) the entire data on all previous measurements will be  
erased. This function doesn’t change the chosen modes. You can  
erase the assigned mode only by assigning a new one.  
Note: After changing a battery the recall stack should be  
cleared by exercising the cLr mode.  
5.4. Gating distance selection  
You can exclude all targets, which are closer than the preset  
distance. This is useful when you aim your target through bushes  
or wires, or you are not interested in targets closer than a certain  
distance. The step of gating is 100 meters starting from 100  
meters and up to 7000 meters (such a large maximum gating  
distance is reserved for future extensions). This means that you  
potentially can set the gating distance larger than the maximum  
measuring range. The device will not be able to measure  
anything in this regime. To remove gating mode you should  
choose Standard1 or Standard2 modes.  
Note: The gating distance can be increased only. If you want to  
decrease it, you should remove gating mode and then choose it  
again.  
Note: You can exit gating selection cycle without gating  
distance setting by clicking the M button 70 times (all possible  
gating distances passed, nothing was chosen) or by holding the  
M button during 2 seconds (“escape” function, see above).  
OVER 100 – indicates that gating mode is on.  
Distance measuring procedure includes instant statistical  
processing of the package of single measuring sessions for each  
laser pulse. Qualitative result of the statistical processing is  
presented on the Display as a message TARGET  
REFLECTION (5).  
5.5. Additional display information  
The System operates in the setting Modes that are displayed as  
follows (refer to Fig.3):  
17  
Y/M – units of measurement: yards or meters (3).  
KMH/MPH – units of speed measurement: km/hour or  
miles/hour (3).

After changing the battery, it is recommended to run the cLr  
(CLEAR) mode and Compass Calibration mode (refer mode  
selection procedure).

5.2. Measuring procedure  
When the Rangefinder is in the passive, zero power consumption  
state, the LCD Display is blank (transparent). Press the A button  
(6) (Fig.1) and hold for 0.5 sec. to activate the System and the  
Display. Initially the System always assumes READY mode of  
operation and word ‘READY’ appears on the Display.  
Pressing and releasing A button (6) (Fig. 1) at this point triggers  
a measuring session, and the result will be displayed in  
numerical form (4) (if measurement is unsuccessful then four  
dashes ‘----‘ will appear in the numerical area). Please note that  
the target must be over 20m away. The measured data will  
correspond to the mode selected (see below). The units of  
measurement will be indicated in the field (3) (Fig.3). If you  
choose more than one parameter to measure (for instance,  
distance and azimuth) the measured results will appear on the  
display every half second. The System remains in the active  
displaying state for 8 seconds after pressing of any of the

override reticle type and target selection with the sub selection  
code. For example, Standard 1 mode implies cross reticle. If you  
choose rectangular reticle (sub selection code 10), you change  
the reticle shape and leave all other parameters of this mode  
intact. If then you choose Standard1 again, the reticle will turn  
back crosshair. The last set mode overwrites all features that it  
controls.  
The third standard mode is assigned to Code 8. It determines  
measurement units and features as Yards, Degrees, Degrees,  
Crosshair reticle, Auto target selection.  
All other modes determine only one parameter to measure. For  
example, Code 14 allows to measure speed of the objects as  
kilometers per hour. The shape of reticle and target selection will  
remain the same, as they had been set before you selected the  
Code 14. Now you can choose a new reticle shape, still  
remaining in the speed measuring mode. This example  
demonstrates that Codes 9-13 replace one selected feature  
independently, and all other codes can replace more than one  
feature in a bunch.  
If you want to leave the mode switching procedure without  
remembering your choice, you should press and keep held the M  
button for more than two seconds. This works like “Escape” key  
on a computer keyboard. The rangefinder will remain in the last  
set mode and return to the READY state.  
Full trek of all possible modes available is depicted on Figure 4.

The mode selection logic allows choosing the nearest (‘first’),  
the farthest (‘last’) or the most reflective (‘auto’) target. Besides,  
you can exclude all targets that are closer than the predefined  
distance (gating distance selection, see below).  
operating buttons and after 8 seconds enters the passive zero  
power state.  
Note: If you set the gating distance larger than any accessible  
target, you will be unable to obtain any result even if the target  
reflection is high (see below).  
5.3. Mode switching procedure  
If the A button is held (pressed) the System automatically  
enters SCANNING mode. At this mode, the System repetitively  
performs distance measuring and displaying. The time interval  
between measurements is approximately 0.25 second.  
By pressing M button (5) (Fig.1) when the System is in READY  
mode, you enter the Mode selecting state. Pressing the M button  
sequentially scans the Modes. The Mode under selection is  
indicated on the Display by flashing of the selectable feature.  
The "flashing" feature can be selected by pressing the A button  
(6). If you don’t find some of the modes described below, it  
means they were not installed on your system. Two modes,  
“Codes” and “Recall” have submenus. You enter submenu by  
pressing the A button from the corresponding mode. After that  
you can select the sub-item with M button and choose your  
option by pressing the A button. Each time when you make your  
choice, you return to the READY state.  
Note: Depending on user’s requirements, the unit can be made  
with a special sub selection, providing only the options required  
for the particular task.  
Note: Depending on the software installed the situation when  
the mode is accessible but inoperable also may occur.  
There are two preset modes, Standard1 (Meters, Degrees,  
Degrees, Crosshair reticle, Auto target selection) and Standard2,  
which open the mode trek. After you have selected it, you can  
14  
The maximum measuring distance range for most objects will  
be about 4000 meters. Ideally reflecting objects can be measured  
at 4500 meters distance. The maximum measured distance varies  
greatly depending on the reflectivity of the target, weather  
conditions and more.  
Target reflectivity depends on its color, surface finish, shape  
etc. Bright colors are more reflective than darks. A polished  
surface is more reflective than a rough one. Larger targets are  
easier for distance measuring. Measuring a target faced at 90o  
(perpendicular to the laser beams path) provides optimal results.  
Bad weather conditions (rain, fog, snow, mist) will reduce the  
maximum measured range. Bright sunny days will reduce  
performance as well. While the unit will work through many  
glass types, measuring through glass will affect the results. Hand  
tremor also influences the results. Use tripod to measure distance  
to far-away objects.  
The unit can estimate distance to up to 7 targets simultaneously.
