Lidar Flashcards
What does LASER stand for?
Light amplification by stimulated emission of radiation
What does LIDAR stand for?
Light detection and ranging
What are the uses of the Pro Laser 4?
- Monochromatic light
- Gallium arsenide solid state laser diode
What are the functions of the HUD?
- Provides the aiming reticle
- Provides current speed of target and tracking history
- Displays tracking alert number after 3 seconds
What happens when the device is idle for 2 minutes?
Enters sleep mode
How long after being idle does the device power off?
15 minutes
What is the operational voltage range of the device?
4.3 to 7 volts
What type of power supply does the device use?
4 x AA batteries
What is the operational temperature range of the device?
-30 to +60 degrees
What is the weight of the device?
1.14 kg
What is the tracking speed range of the device?
8 kph to 320 kph
What is the accuracy of the device?
+- 1 kph (apply 2 kph tolerance for all speed offences)
What is the operational range of the device?
3 to 2438 m, operational range is 600 m
What is the wavelength of the device?
904 nm +-10 nm
What is the pulse repetition rate required for speed reading?
200 Hz – 70 Hz
What is the acquisition time for the device?
0.3 seconds
What is the range resolution of the device?
0.1 m
What is the beam width specification?
0.1 per 100 m (10 cm per 100 m)
What is the frequency of LIDAR?
330 THz
How is speed detected using LIDAR?
- Using the time of flight method
- Each light pulse is timed from emission to target
- 200 pulses of light every second
- 70 pulses must return for a speed reading
What are the requirements for a valid LIDAR check?
- Visually observe target
- Estimate target speed
- Place aiming reticle on target vehicle
- Obtain solid tone and speed reading
- Verify speed estimate and reading agree
- Minimum 3 second check
- Continue to track visually
What are the steps for a HUD alignment check?
- Ensure pro laser is in range mode
- Aim at a pole or small sign
- Verify tone is audible
- Move laser left to right
- Ensure tone is heard when reticle is on target
- Place pro laser on its side and retest
How to perform the distance accuracy check?
- Use a pre-measured course with ground markings
- Check range at 25 m and note displayed distance
- Check range at 50 m and note displayed distance
What should the operator take into account when operating LIDAR?
- Cosine angle 10:1
- Clear line of sight
- Weather conditions
- Movement of the unit
