TruPulse Specification Sheet

The B stands for Bluetooth.

The TruPulse series laser rangefinder offers compact technology with ease of use. The 8 ounce laser can accomplish most tasks with one, two, or three clicks of the fire button. When measuring tree heights in height mode, the routine prompts the user to take one distance measurement and two angle measurements. The height is immediately displayed inside the optics. This small laser rangefinder makes most measurement tasks fast and easy.

TruPulse Measurement Solutions

• Distance (Horizontal, Vertical, Slope)
• Inclination (Degrees and Percent Slope)
• Height (Flexible three-shot routine)

TruPulse 360 Additional Features

• Azimuth (Compass Bearing for single-shot positioning)
• Missing Line (Distance, Inclination and Azimuth between any two remote points)

Atterbury Consultants sets the units to feet, measurement mode to 'farthest', and recalibrates the inclinometer (and compass on the TruPulse 360) if necessary prior to shipping.

The processor inside the TruPulse is quick enough to allow users to take multiple shots, one right after the other.

The TruPulse can distinguish multiple returns. When in farthest mode, if a return is generated by brush or twigs in addition to the more distant target object, only the target object distance is reported. The TruPulse displays 'MULTI' to indicate that intermediate objects also reflected the beam. This feature can add a lot of confidence to measured distances in the forest.

The TruPulse Foliage Filter fits over the bottom lens and allows the user to shoot distances in brushy situations where a normal shot would be difficult to make. When the foliage filter is attached and the TruPulse is in "Filter Target Mode", distances of up to 300 feet can be measured. The unit will return either an accurate measurement or no reading. The foliage filter works well with reflective tape and bicycle type reflectors.

The foliage filter can be used to allow a single person to traverse an area. The user can pin reflective tape on trees and then takes back shots in filter mode to get distance (and direction with the TruPulse 360) to the reflective tape. The quality of the reflective tape does affect the distance at which the filter will work. It is common to be able to have shots of 100 feet or more with high quality reflective material. A TruPulse 360 equipped with a foliage filter and some squares of reflective tape can be an efficient method for determining the acres of an area.

The Impulse 200 is a reliable reflectorless waterproof laser with a built in inclinometer.  The rangefinder can determine slope distance, inclination, horizontal distance, height and vertical distance.

Feature Highlights

• LCD panel and a serial port for measurement readouts
• Non magnifying red dot scope for target acquisition.
• Accurate to one tenth of one foot +/- 1.2"
• Calculates horizontal or slope distance in less than a second.
• May be used with optional MapStar Compass or Angle Encoder
• Waterproof to one meter
