1. OVERVIEW
RANGEFINDER BINOCULAR LRB 20000 is an advanced
Laser Rangefinder system that provides instant distance
measurements consistently and accurately. The stereoscopic
device provides convenient observation with both eyes.
Therefore, the LRB 20000 eliminates a need for two separate
devices (binocular and rangefinder) combining both
requirements in a single device. It is designated for industrialtechnical purposes, ground surveillance, observation of
individual targets and measurement. It can be used in geological
and engineering survey, repair works, maritime navigation,
meteorology and tourism.
The rangefinder completed with the Angular Mount is designed
for referencing ground location point by the predetermined
landmark coordinates and is capable of:
- measuring horizontal angles and magnetic azimuths:
- measuring vertical angles and angles of elevation;
- determination of target and landmark polar coordinates;
- polar-to-rectangular landmark and target coordinate conversion
and determination of the OP and target coordinates from the
predetermined landmark coordinates.
The supplied software allows data acquisition on IBM PC
compatible computers in DOS/Windows environment. To start
communication with computer, do the following:
If you use Windows NT, 2000, XP, or 2003 Server:
- Turn off the computer.
- Insert the disk which is supplied with the LRB 20,0000A
into the floppy disk drive.
- Turn computer on and enter the BIOS SETUP in accordance
with the computer documentation.
- Set the address of LPT port as 378h, and port type as EPP. In
boot menu, choose the first bootable device as Floppy Drive.
Register the new settings.
- Proceed with loading, choose “5” or just press “Esc” in
options menu. After full loading your computer will work
under MS-DOS.
- In line a:\> type BDEPP5 and press enter to launch the
communication program.
- Perform measurements as described in the manual. The
results will be shown in the communicator program window.
16. DATA OUTPUT TO EXTERNAL EQUIPMENT
The measured data can be exported to a remote computer
through the connector X2.
To export the output data, you must to apply the voltage of 3 to 8
V from the connected computer to the pin 9 of the connector X2.
The amplitude of the output signals will depend on the value of
the supplied voltage.
The measured range information is exported in cycles by a
binary decimal code through four data and three address buses
according to Table 16.1.
The strobe starting the data export appears on pin 8 of the
connector X2 in form of a positive pulse edge.

The rangefinder is operable in the temperature range between –
40 and +50 °C, relative air humidity of up to 98% (as taken at
35 °C), air pressure of 61 kPa (460 mm Hg) minimum, and in the
sea mist conditions. It is powered with a rechargeable battery 10
D-0b55С-1. It can be powered with a vehicle electrical system
providing (27±2.7) V, or non- rechargeable battery producing
from 12V to 14.5V or from 22V to 29 V.
Upon receipt of the rangefinder and prior to operation the
user should proceed as follows:
- check to see that the seals on the wooden and metallic
packaged are intact;
- check completeness of the range finder against Section 5 of
this manual;
- check to see that the serial number of the rangefinder is the
same as indicated in Sections 17-19;
- make sure that the optical surfaces are free from grease
stains, dirt, cracks and condensed moisture. Remove dirt and
grease as directed in item 1 of table 11.1;
- inspect the range finder exterior for physical damage (no
cracks, dents, deep rust are admitted);
- check the dehydrator for working condition. If the silica gel
is pink in color, replace it with the new one taken from
individual SPTA set (item 11.6.3);
- place the battery in operation as directed in Section 16 of this
manual (the rechargeable battery is supplied uncharged).
To secure trouble-free operation of the rangefinder:
- be prompt in replacing the rechargeable battery by freshly
charged when the red LED in the left-hand eyepiece of the range
finder starts to illuminate;
- keep the range finder dry at all times especially in the cold
season of the year;
- after exposure to subzero temperatures keep the range finder at
room temperature for at least two hours before unpacking and
then mop up the condensed moisture;
- while operating the range finder at temperatures above 35˚ C
and exposing to direct sunrays, attach cover AEP 42.63.021
taken from individual SPTA set to keep away sunlight.
Moistening the cover with water is permitted to cool off the
range finder.
After replacement of emitter and (or) control circuit board make
entries in Section 4 of this manual as to their new serial numbers
and basic characteristics.
- Charged as described under 15.3;
- Discharged by setting the toggle switches to the
DISCHARGE and MAIN positions until the DISCHARGED
light diode flashes on and off to indicate the discharged
condition. Charge up the operating voltage for 15 hours as
described under 15.3.
15.3.3. The battery that has been stored in the discharged
condition for over 3 months is subject to two processing cycles
before use.
Cycle 1
- Charging for 24 hours with the toggle switches set to the
CHARGE and PREPARATORY positions on the charging
device;
- Discharging with the toggle switches in the DISCHARGE
and PREPARATORY positions, until the LED labelled
DISCHARGED flashes.
Cycle 2
- Charging as directed under 15.3.;
- Discharging with the toggle switches set to the
DISCHARGE and MAIN positions on the charging device,
until the DISCHARGED diode flashes.
If the minimum discharging time is 5 hours, charge the battery
up to the operating voltage as directed in 15.3.
If the discharging time is between 5 and 3.5 hours, subject the
battery to another Cycle 2 as described in 15.3.3, then charge it
up to the operating voltage as described in 15.3.1.
It’s prohibited to use the battery, if the discharging time was
under 3.5 hours.
15. RECHARGEABLE BATTERY HANDLING
15.1. The rechargeable battery is supplied in discharged
condition.
15.2. While handling the battery, be certain to:
- avoid contact with any bare circuit components while

- strictly comply with the prescribed charging/discharging
procedures.
NEVER:
- dismantle the battery;
- store the battery together with acids, or batteries using acids.
15.3. The battery is subject to charging at an ambient
temperature of (20±5) °C.
To charge the battery, do the following:
- Unscrew the cover of the battery section on the charging
device;
- Place the battery in the section coupling the "+" terminal
with the bottom contact of the section, and screw the cover;
Connect the charging device to the power source using the
appropriate cable (see in Section 11.3).
15.3.1. The battery that has been stored in the discharged
condition for a maximum of 28 days is to be charged for 15
hours. The toggle switches are placed in the CHARGE and
