Reticle

This device is equipped with a rangefinder scale. It consists of vertical and horizontal lines with divisions on the lens and enables the measurement of the height, distance, and size of a target as well as the angle between two close targets (or between the two ends of one target). A division value on both vertical and horizontal lines equals 5mils (360º equals 6400mils) and, therefore, the distance between two big nicks on a scale equals 10mils. The reticle also has an additional scale on the bottom half of the lens that enables the quick measurement of the distance to a target 2m high.
The reticle appearance in your model may differ from the one in this user guide.

Using the reticle to calculate distance

When you know the target’s size in meters, calculate the distance to the target in kilometres using this formula: , where S is the distance to the target in km, H is the estimated height of the target in m, and w is the vertical angle of the target in mil. For example, the estimated height of the lighthouse shown in fig. 1 is 30m, and its vertical angle is 75mils. The distance to the target is calculated as follows:

Calculating the target’s size using angle readings

When you know the distance to the target in kilometres, you can calculate its height and width in meters using the distance measurement formula: H=S x W, , where H is the estimated height or width of the target in m, S is the distance to the target in km, and w is the vertical or horizontal angle of the target in mil. For example, the estimated distance to the tank shown in fig. 2 is 0.25km, the vertical angle is approximately 10mils, and the horizontal angle is 20mils. Calculate the size using the formula:

Using the additional reticle to calculate distance directly

If the target’s height is known to be 2m, you can calculate the distance to it using the additional reticle on the bottom half of the lens without using a formula. To do so, place the target on the horizontal line of the reticle. The point where the target touches the scale is the distance in meters. For example, the distance to the tank shown in fig. 3 is 550m.
