Impulse

Laser Technology's IMPULSE is a light-weight, low cost laser for a full range of professional measuring. The Impulse puts the power and speed of a laser rangefinder and optional tilt sensor into the palm of your hand. Simply aim and push a button. The Impulse acquires distance or height in less than a second, all without prisms or reflective targets.  Add either the MapStar Compass Module  or Angle Encoder to the Impulse, and point your measurements in a whole new direction! 

    Now it's not only economically possible for you to get the fastest laser-sharp measurements ever, it's also convenient. Reduced size and weight make it possible for field workers to operate the Impulse with one hand and simply clip it onto a belt for quick-access carrying. 

    The Impulse's point-and-shoot operation and serial output communication combine to simplify a number of surveying and mapping tasks. These include: timber cruising, mine face profiling, GIS data capture, GPS offset mapping, material estimating for job bids, space planning, and general distance and height measurement. 

    The serial port outputs data directly to one of LTI's mapping software products or any one of your own. Get the measurements you need, accurately and economically, on Impulse. Only from Laser Technology.

Specifications

    Want longer range? Now with twice the range capability to low-reflective targets, the Impulse LR opens up a world of possibilities. With the Impulse LR, you can range up to: 
100 m to an overhead cable or wooden stake 
200 m to a stockpile or phone pole 
300 m to a tree or transmission tower 
500 m to a building or rockface 
Maximize range and accuracy--with the Impulse LR!

Features
Specifications

    Laser Technology, maker of the Impulse laser, introduces the MapStar Compass Module. More than just an electronic compass, the Mapstar CM brings a host of new advances to azimuth measurement.

Small, lightweight, and rugged. The MapStar is built to survive in any environment: just like the Impulse.

Modular design. The physical layout and data format of the MapStar interface with all Impulse models. Or, the unit can operate independently when needed.

Accuracy. Leading edge controller boards, intelligent processing algorithms, and auto-compensators for field temperature and pitch/roll, enable the Mapstar CM to achieve world leading performance in azimuth accuracy.

Calibration. Simple field procedures allow you to calibrate on site, effectively adapting to changing magnetic environments.

Integration. MapStar is designed to work seamlessly with data collectors, GPS equipment, and other mapping hardware/software solutions. Accessories such as GPS antenna mounts, cable management, and carry packs make the Mapstar as ergonomically friendly as it is functional.

Developed for LTI lasers, by LTI engineers, the Mapstar CM is simply the best performing compass for laser-based survey and mapping applications. No matter what your application is, adding this module to the Impulse points your measurements in a whole new direction!





Features

  • Rugged, waterproof, one-piece aluminum housing built for every working environment
  • 15 hours typical battery life with just 2 AA cells!
  • 5 digit, backlit, LCD display provides readability in light and dark conditions
  • Audio and visual indicators assure confidence of positive azimuth acquisition
  • RS232 serial output gives you the option to store data externally; data is transferred either automatically or by a manual key press
  • Recall the factory calibration or calibrate on site to minimize the effects of local attractions
  • Create a Reference circle to work with based on any local coordinate system
  • Special calibration routine for use nearby strong magnetic anomolies.


 

MAPSTAR ANGLE ENCODER MODULE

Features Specifications

Laser Technology, maker of the Impulse laser, introduces the MapStar Angle Encoder Module. More than just an electronic encoder, the Mapstar AE brings a host of new advances to portable angular measurement.

LTI’s MapStar Angle Encoder will integrate seamlessly with our Impulse survey lasers and other mapping equipment such as GPS. The MapStar Angle Encoder has the distinct benefit over the Compass Module of not being adversely affected by local magnetic attractions.

The Angle Encoder will calculate a turned, horizontal angle between some reference point and the object being targeted. It will always require a second, known point to be available to sight as a reference. This directional information is then coupled with range and tilt from the Impulse to provide all the data necessary to derive X, Y, Z coordinates for the target.

Developed for LTI lasers, by LTI engineers, the Mapstar AE is simply the best performing angular measurement device for portable, laser-based, survey and mapping applications. No matter what your application is, adding this module to the Impulse points your measurements in a whole new direction!

 

Features

  • Rugged, water resistant, aluminum/Delron housing built for every working environment
  • 7 hours of continuous use with just 2 C cells!
  • 5 digit, backlit, LCD display provides readability in light and dark conditions
  • Audio and visual indicators assure confidence of positive angle acquisition
  • RS232 serial output gives you the option to store data externally; data is transferred either automatically or by a manual key press
  • Several ways to set your BackSight - including using the compliment of your ForeSight shot
  • On-board Missing Line function will display distance between two remote points
