Distel-LED40 Specifications

Multichannel distance monitors ---: stock and custom instruments from TOS Systems Inc.

TOS Systems manufactures the Distel line of inexpensive distance telemetry equipment for multi-channel distance measuring. The Distel line contain no moving parts, so has none of the reliability problems of scanning systems. Each source/detector pair is located close together, so does not suffer the "shadowing" problems of wide angle camera systems. The Distel-LED series uses infrared light emitting diodes (LEDs) to avoid laser safety hazards and regulations. The Distel-LAS series uses laser diodes to provide better accuracy. TOS can design custom monitors to provide different number of channels, distance ranges, mounting arrangements, etc.
