HOW OUR DIGITAL TECHNOLOGY WORKS
The Tour® Z6™ Jolt emits invisible, eye safe, infrared energy pulses. The Tour® Z6™ Jolt 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® Z6™ Jolt 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 1000 yards
/ 914 meters while for highly reflective objects the maximum is 1300 yards / 1189 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.
E.S.P.2™ (Extreme. Speed. Precision. 2nd generation), our advanced second generation ranging technology, provides the fastest, most
accurate ranging measurement based on target conditions. The laser analyzes multiple individual measurements to the target and calculates and
displays the best possible result. Target variations such as reflectance, shape and color can affect the accuracy of a laser measurement, but E.S.P.2™
automatically assesses the conditions and improves the measurement up to 1/2 Yard Accuracy whenever possible from 5–125 yards. When this occurs,
display readout precision will be refined to 1/10th yard.
