STARTING YOUR PINLOC 6000iM

The PINLOC 6000iM has three buttons: the Power button and the Mode button & the Scan button (refer to page 2). To turn on your device, press the Power button for one second, the LCD screen will illuminate indicating the laser is ready to use.

INTERNAL MAGNET

The PINLOC 6000iM features an internal magnet on the side of the laser which enables it to be attached to any magnetic metal surface such as a cart or buggy for quick and easy access. Before attaching the laser to any surface using the internal magnet, ensure the connection is strong enough to hold the laser. It is the full responsibility of the operator to securely and safely operate the laser using internal magnet. Any damage by improper use of the internal magnet is not covered under warranty.

ADJUSTING THE FOCUS

The PINLOC 6000iM is designed with an adjustable eyepiece (dioptre). By adjusting the focus, people with far sighted or near sighted vision can use the PINLOC 6000iM without glasses. Looking through the eyepiece, turn the dioptre a quarter turn left or right until the view is focused for you.

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

Hold the PINLOC 6000iM to your eye and depress the Power button once to turn on. The LCD display will now show three lines and a small rectangular box. Line the target up so it appears inside the rectangular box, then depress the Power button once. The distance from you to the target will be displayed on the screen instantly.

PRIORITY LOC

The PINLOC 6000iM instinctively locks onto the nearest target, which may be the smallest among multiple objects in the background giving you confidence you have the correct distance every time. Priority Loc intelligence delivers the first and closest target by scanning the area and displaying only the nearest distance. This feature automatically works by pressing the Power button once.

PINLOC MODE ( )

PINLOC technology ensures even the smallest target is locked on from the longest possible distance.This is important for delivering pinpoint accuracy.This feature is automatically delivered when the Power Button is depressed quickly once.

SCAN MODE ( S )

The Scan feature displays a continuous update of distances to various targets across a panoramic area. To use the Scan feature, press the button on the side of the laser once. Now press the Power button and pan across the target area. An “S” will appear in the viewfinder signifying Scan mode is active. Once finished, press the Power Button again and the crosshairs will disappear and the laser will stop scanning.

DECIMAL PLACE ( )

When the decimal place indicator is shown on screen, all measurements will be given to
1 decimal place. To toggle this feature on or off, quickly double press the Mode button.

DISPLAY LOC

Each time the Power button is pressed, the distance is displayed on screen for 15 seconds, after which the screen automatically switches off.

UNIT MEASUREMENT CHANGE

The PINLOC 6000iM can be used to measure distances in metres or yards. Press the Mode button for 5 seconds to change the unit of measurement display. You can also change whether the distance shows a decimal place. Press the Mode button for 3 seconds to toggle the decimal point display.
AUTOMATIC POWER-SAVE The PINLOC 6000iM will automatically switch off after 15 seconds of inactivity.

BATTERY INDICATOR

A battery level warning will appear when the battery is running low.The battery can be replaced by removing the battery door (see diagram on page 2). Any brand of CR2 3V lithium battery can be used.

ACCURACY

The PINLOC 6000iM delivers incredible accuracy at +1 or -1 metre/yard. The range is dependent on the reflectivity of the target. The color, surface, shape and size of the target will affect reflectivity and the range. For example, red is highly reflective and will give longer range as opposed to black which is the least reflective color. A shiny surface will also provide more range than a dull one and likewise, a small target is more difficult to range than a large target. The angle to which you set your target also affects accuracy. A 90 degree angle will give you good range while a steep angle will provide limited range. Please note lighting, rain and fog can also affect accuracy levels, the less light the shorter the unit’s maximum range.

CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE

Gently blow away any dust or debris on the lenses or use the lens cloth.To remove dirt or fingerprints, rub in a circular motion.
