Accolade 2 LRF Pro

Accolade 2 LRF Pro features a ground-breaking temperature sensitivity (NETD lower than 25 mK) enabling detection of the smallest temperature differences. 

All specifications you can find here.

Please make sure you have made the following adjustments:

• First, adjust the diopter adjustment on the eyepiece to clearly see the icons on the display and in the status bar.
• Second, adjust the lens focus to see the object of observation clearly. Please note that re-focusing may be required as the distance to the object changes.
• Do the image calibration – either in manual mode (with lens cover closed) or in automatic mode.
• Select the most suitable observation mode – “Forest”, “Rocks” or “Identification” depending on the specific observation conditions.
• Go through the different color palletes.
• Manually adjust display contrast and brightness. We recommend keeping those two values at similar levels. A huge difference between them badly affects the image quality.
• Try turning Image Detail Boost ON and OFF. The greatest benefit of this feature can be enjoyed in scenery with high contrast and at shorter distances.

In the course of the calibration process the image freezes on the screen – this is normal and not a defect.

Default calibration mode is “Automatic” (the software decides when calibration is necessary) but

you can change it to “Manual” mode in the "Main menu" => "Calibration mode" to calibrate the riflescope 

when you need to based on actual image quality. Please close the lens cover prior to manual calibration. We recommend using automatic mode all the time.

Please read more about calibration in the user manual for your thermal device.

You are using the manual calibration mode without closing the lens cover.

Please make sure the lens cover is closed during calibration or switch to the automatic calibration mode if you do not want to close the cover.

No, a clicking sound is normal in the automatic and semiautomatic calibration modes.

You may switch to the manual calibration mode to avoid the sound. Remember to close the lens cover to make sure no ghost images appear on the display.

Calibration levels the background temperature of the microbolometer and eliminates image flaws

(such as vertical stripes, ghost images of previous objects etc.). Intervals between calibrations depend

on operating time: the longer a thermal imager operates nonstop, the less frequently calibration is required.

Please note that a certain amount of non-functional pixels (max 0.5% of total quantity) is allowed by the sensor and is not considered a defect. You may try repairing the pixels using the respective menu item of your thermal imager. For details, please refer to the user manual.

Activate the pixel repair option in the device`s menu. You will be redirected to a window with picture in picture (PiP) mode and an auxiliary cross.

Operate with navigation buttons to move the cross into the bad pixel’s coordinates. Dead pixels disappear when the auxiliary crosss is in the correct position.

Press the ON/OFF button and check for the “OK” message on the display.

Please take note of the following:

• Accuracy of measurement and maximum range depend on the reflection ratio of the target surface, the angle at which the emitting beam falls on the target surface and environmental conditions. Reflectivity is also affected by surface texture, color, size and the shape of the target. A shiny or brightly colored surface is normally more reflective than a dark surface.
• Measuring range to a small sized target is more difficult than to a large target. Accuracy of the measurement can also be affected by light conditions, fog, haze, rain, snow etc. Ranging performance can degrade in bright conditions or when ranging towards the sun.
• When measuring range to a small-sized target located more that 400 meters away, it is recommended that you put your elbow against a solid surface. This is due to possible hand tremors and difficulty hitting the target with the beam at a longer distance.

All of our products, including Accolade 2 LRF, feature 1 Class Safety (standard IEC60825-1:2014) laser
which means it's harmless to the eyes. Nevertheless, please avoid looking directly at the emitting lens of the rangefinder.

The housing of Accolade Pro is made of high quality plastic.
