HOW OUR DIGITAL TECHNOLOGY WORKS
The TOUR V3 WITH PINSEEKER emits invisible, eye safe, infrared energy pulses. The TOUR V3’s Advanced Digital
microprocessor and ASIC chip (Application-Specific Integrated Circuit) results in instantaneous and accurate readings
every time. Sophisticated digital technology instantaneously calculates distances by measuring the time it takes for each
pulse to travel from the rangefinder, to the target, and back.
RANGING ACCURACY
The ranging accuracy of the TOUR V3 is plus or minus one yard/meter under most circumstances. The maximum range of
the instrument depends on the reflectivity of the target. The maximum distance for most objects is 700 yards/640 meters
while for highly reflective objects the maximum is 1000 yards/914 meters. Note: You will get both longer and shorter
maximum distances depending on the reflective properties of the particular target and the environmental conditions at the
time the distance of an object is being measured.
The color, surface finish, size and shape of the target all affect reflectivity and range. The brighter the color, the longer the
range. Red is highly reflective, for example, and allows longer ranges than the color black, which is the least reflective color.
A shiny finish provides more range than a dull one. A small target is more difficult to range than a larger target. The angle
to the target also has an effect. Shooting to a target at a 90 degree angle (where the target surface is perpendicular to
the flight path of the emitted energy pulses) provides good range while a steep angle on the other hand, provides limited
ranging. In addition, lighting conditions (e.g. the amount of sunlight) will affect the ranging capabilities of the unit. The less
light (e.g. overcast skies) the farther the unit’s maximum range will be. Conversely, very sunny days will decrease the unit’s
maximum range.
