The Scout™1000 ARC™ emits invisible, eye safe, infrared energy pulses. The Scout ™ 1000‘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.

The ranging accuracy of the Scout™1000 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 650 yards / 594 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. 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.
