ProLaser III
Kustom Signals, Inc.

ProLaser III is IACP approved
Introduced in 1998

OPERATION

• single-unit hand-held system
  supply voltage -- car or internal battery
  OPTIONS
  -- tripod mount
  -- Removable Corded Power Insert with 12V Adapter Plug
  -- Internal Removable Battery Pack/Charger
  -- External Battery Pack with Charger
  -- Windows-based LaserStat Traffic Statistics Package
  -- Heavy Duty Carrying Case
• HUD (Heads-Up Display)
  allows operator to view target, illuminated aim dot and target speed (or range) in one window.
• Instant On
• stationary operation only
• measures speed and range for on-coming and/or going traffic
  (also measures range of stationary objects)
• Target (moving) Acquisition Time
  0.3 sec typical (minimum)
• Self Test
  Self test runs on initial power up and operator command (TEST button).
• stopwatch mode
  Operator inputs distance (300 to 4500 feet, 1 ft increments) between objects, and pushes a button when a target passes each object (ladar calculates time between button pushes); ladar computes target speed from distance (known) divided by time (button pushes). Calculated target speed displayed in target window, elapsed time (to tenths of a second) displayed in range window. Ladar does not transmit to calculate speed in this mode.

CONTROLS

• Transmit / Lock display
  TRIGGER pressed -- transmitting
  TRIGGER released -- display locked
  speeds remains on display until next transmission
• MODE
  -- Measure Speed or Range
• TEST / ENTER
  Test -- start Self Test
  Enter -- activates selected menu option
• BRT/VOL
  -- LCD backlight; HUD brightness and speaker volume
• MENU/ESC
  Menu -- displays options on LCD
  Esc -- exit menu mode to speed or range mode
• PWR
  -- Power ON / OFF

DISPLAYS / INDICATORS

• HUD
  -- aiming reticle
  -- speed or range

• Liquid Crystal Display (LCD)

  Target Speed
  5 to 200 mph (8 to 321 kmh)
  displays plus (+) in front of speed for approaching targets
  displays minus (-) in front of speed for receding targets
  accuracy: +/- 1 mph (+/- 2 kmh)
  

  Target Range
  10 to +4,000 feet (3 to +1330 meters)
  accuracy: +/- 0.5 feet (+/-0.2 meters)
  resolution: 0.1 feet (0.1 meters)

  Alpha Messages: (error messages)
  LV Alert -- battery approaching minimum voltage
  LV Warnimg -- battery low (unit does not function)
  Error -- internal problem (unit does not function)

• Speaker
  no tone -- no target in beam
  intermittent tone -- target near beam
  constant tone -- processing and displaying target speed / range

SPECIFICATIONS

The unit is programmable, some specifications and features, such as speed/range in English or metric units (mph/ft or kmh/m) are a function of software version installed. Some software versions display range (instead of speed) on HUD.
