HOW OUR DIGITAL TECHNOLOGY WORKS
e Scout DX  ARC™ emits invisible, eye safe, infrared energy pulses. e Scout DX  ARC’s Advanced
Digital microprocessor and ASIC chip (Application-Specic 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 rangender, to the target, and back.
RANGING ACCURACY
e ranging accuracy of the Scout DX  ARC™ is plus or minus one yard / meter under most circumstances. e
maximum range of the instrument depends on the reectivity of the target. e maximum distance for most objects
is  yards /  meters while for highly reective objects the maximum is  yards /  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. White 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.
