As a matter of interest has anyone tried using a laser pointer instead to test them?
Tried mine a while ago at the Hants meet with a proper laser gun (a big thanks to Jen ) and it works ok

Laser pointers use visible (red, typically) laser light. If a laser pointer emitted IR then it would be a pretty cr@p laser device. These detectors shouldn't respond to visible light, so that test shouldn't trigger a response. I wouldn't bother, tbh.

Phil

I am having my new one tested tomorrow

I will update you

quicksprint

How about a Browning 9mm with laser scope then..

Yes they should respond, you obviously havent read the LRC 100 manual, who know best you or the manufacturer...you it seems :-)

It's only meant to show you that its wired correctly that it...

Cheers Phil for keeping us informed, it might have been good if you let some of us know, as we may have wanted to participate.... or did you not think about that.

Fatman

mn_angrybeats: no, you're right - I've not read the manual. What does it say about use of red laser light for testing purposes?

I don't presume to know their product better than the manufacturers. However, I do know lasers (physics & physical chemistry degree).

Phil

Hey thats very unfair and uncalled for

My supplier has arranged a short test to put my mind at rest since my first one failed

He will only be with me five minutes

I test laser detectors using the infra red on my mobile phone ( nokia 6310i ) , call a phone number up , use "send business card" and select infra red , needs to be fairly close but it activates my Origin B2 , not got my LRC100 installed yet so dont know how it works with that

RayC - Any news from your contact with the gun?

Phil

Had mine tested this morning and is working fine

Gooner

Lets cut out the sniping and get a group test sorted out!

Andy555

Just waiting for RayC to come back with details from his contact.

Phil

Who's Snipping? just trying to inform people that mine is now working as it was mentioned in the initial post that I was having problems with mine

When I bought mine it included a FREE test

The guy that tested it is indeed the same man who RayC is dealing with and is very knowledgable about these matters so Good luck with arranging your testing session.

If this group test goes ahead is there any chance you could test various materials and the effects on Laser reception and jamming (putting it in front of the LRC). I am thinking of for example clear perspex / lexan, tinted perspex / lexan etc, this would enable units to be concealed even further if the unit still works.

Andy555

OK Phil, We understand. No Problem.

We just want to get ours tested, as it may be that we have had them all installed, and thet are not working correctly...

Fatman

If we have a choice of locations for the test - I vote to stick with the original suggestion of Reading.

Andy555

Griffm - your proposed test should not be a problem.

Reading will be suitable for me also, but depends on the majority.

Gooner

Phil,
I was actually suggesting the sniping was at you, not by you!
Nobody should be offended, all I'm trying to do is get everyone back on course to get the test to go ahead, threads always wander off the mark for many varied reasons.
Cheers
Gooner

Phil

I'm sure he will test most things for you its just finding time between now and Christmas as he said his diary is pretty full.

Indeed he was off to test another installation in Kent once he tested mine.

As I said before good luck with arranging this test.

And just a quick mention for my supplier Rob at the mobile centre wasn't as cheap as the group buy but excellent service throughout.

RayC

No mail yet

i will call him later

did we decide on a date or venue yet?

Andy555

Has anybody any objection to Reading?

This was sugested first, and will be easier to arrange with RayCs contact.

Please let us know if Reading is no good.

RayC

Miles away for me! would have to be in the new year but i will set it up for everyopne else if thats what is required

scooby_si

i wood be interested in one in the new year as i'll have my car & thus fitted both mine then
Si

Andy555

RayC - Where would you like to do it?

scooby_si - So what you getting in the new year????

WrX 03

Just tried NOKIA 6310i on LRC 100, not a peep

Phil

Don't worry I just tried my nokia and mine didn't work with it

scooby_si

Andy currently winding all my scooby m8s up by not saying lol
Si (AKA sad git )

RayC

somewhere in the middle in the new year suits me best

i live in Cheshire so burton on trent was best for me

if we do it in the new year everyone is less busy

i still have to get my new laser head too

mwp

new year = less busy = not necessarily so for me.

If it is to be jan then can we start getting dates now so i can book it = wife/kids can't move it

cheers, mark.
