LIGHTWAVE™ DSP TECHNOLOGY
SIG SAUER’s proprietary Lightwave DSP engine leverages HyperScan – an advanced power management
technique that provides the fastest refresh rate in scan mode (4 times per second) even at distances
over a mile. Our DSP engine uses the latest generation field programmable gate array (FPGA) running
sophisticated signal processing algorithms to reduce false positives while finding weak or distant targets.
RANGING ACCURACY, RESOLUTION AND MAXIMUM RANGES
The KILO2000 provides line of sight or angle modified range information accurate to ±0.5 yards or meters
out to 500 yards; ±1 yard from 500 - 1000 yards and ±2 yards beyond 1000 yards. Range is displayed in
0.1 yard or meter resolution.
The KILO2000 can range past 2000 yards / meters on reflective or semi-reflective targets such as houses,
rock faces or other bright objects. Ranging performances in HyperScan mode are as follows: Reflective up
to 2 miles, trees up to 1,500 yards and deer up to 1,200 yards. Actual range performance will vary based
on changes in ambient light, temperature and haze.

LINE OF SIGHT (LOS) AND ANGLE MODIFIED RANGE (AMR™)
The KILO2000 provides 2 simple modes of operation. Line of sight is the range to the target independent
of angle. It is comparable to the “hypotenuse” of a triangle. When ranging in LOS mode, the distance is
displayed in addition to the angle of incline. This method is preferred for those long range shooters and
hunters wanting to use the LOS range and angle of incline to calculate a very precise holdover using a
ballistic calculator smartphone application and/or wind measurement device.
Angle modified range is the equivalent horizontal range to the target and is comparable to the “horizontal
leg” of a triangle. AMR is also known as “rifleman’s rule” and uses the LOS range and angle of incline to
calculate the horizontal distance the projectile travels between shooter and target. AMR is very accurate
for most shooters and archers and should be used in most situations.
In this example, if the rangefinder is in LOS mode the line of sight range of 500 yards would be displayed
and toggle back and forth displaying “500.0 y” (yards) and “-30.0” (degrees decline). Use LOS in
combination with a ballistic calculator to calculate an exact holdover in minutes of angle or milliradians.
If the rangefinder is in AMR mode the angle modified range of 433.0 yards would be displayed. This is the
equivalent horizontal range and can be used in combination with a ballistic / holdover reticle or with the
SIG Ballistic Turret SBT™ dial.

Line Of Sight (LOS) range of 500 yards at 30º decline
Angle Modified Range (AMR) is 433 yards
ANGLE MODIFIED RANGE
Example:
LOS range of 500 yards 30° decline
equals to an AMR of 433 yards.

LUMATIC™ OLED DISPLAY
The KILO2000 has the most advanced display on the market. Our OLED display has the largest dynamic
range providing for high brightness in bright sunlight or snow conditions, yet will dim down to near night
vision levels at dusk and dawn. No other display offers this adaptive ability to prevent your pupil from
constricting in low light causing you to no longer be able to see your target. A small, ambient light sensor
(ALS) is located in the objective of the rangefinder and samples the ambient light condition of the target
image. The ALS samples and updates the brightness instantaneously to always provide the right amount
of contrast against your target image.
