Laser designation performance

• Nominal designation repetition rate (for verification): 20 pps
• Short designation mode: each cycle has 17 s of designation time and 30 s interval; up to 8 consecutive cycles
• Long designation mode: each cycle has 60 s of designation time and 45 s interval; up to 4 consecutive cycles
• After completing one long and one short designation cycle, the interval before the next designation shall be within 30 minutes.

Laser coding

• Meets the weapon system coding requirements and provides user-programmable code expansion capability.
• Supports external synchronization input; the external signal can control the laser emission pattern for coding.
• Coding method: precise frequency code (eight groups of pre-stored period-code patterns).
• Coding accuracy: ≤ 2.5 μs.

Dimensions

≤ 116 mm × 52 mm × 96 mm

Weight

≤ 680 g

Electrical characteristics

• Input voltage: DC 18 V to 32 V
• The electrical and electronic components inside the laser rangefinder/designator are compatible with the system power characteristics.
• Average power: ≤ 80 W; peak power: ≤ 120 W
• After PCB design and debugging are completed, all circuit boards are coated with conformal coating to provide moisture, salt-spray and fungus protection.

External power input requirements

• When sharing the same power supply with motor or other inductive loads, the laser rangefinder/designator should use a soft-start (3–5 s). At the instant of sudden power-on, the induced voltage generated by motors and other inductive loads at the module input may be several times the nominal input voltage, which can cause over-voltage damage.
• During power-up, it is recommended to use the dedicated power-on control function of the laser rangefinder/designator to stagger its power-on time from other loads. After other loads have powered up and stabilized, then enable power to the rangefinder/designator.
• The power input of the laser rangefinder/designator should be isolated from other inductive loads. If conditions allow, a DC filter (30 V / 10 A) can be added at the module’s power input.
• The power supply for the laser rangefinder/designator shall satisfy the peak power demand. When testing the module alone, with a DC supply voltage of 24 V, the supply current should be greater than 6 A. If the output voltage is lower, the rated output current of the supply should be increased accordingly.
