The MELIOS can determine ranges from which distance range?

• A. 50 meters to 9995 meters
• B. 100 meters to 9000 meters
• C. 25 meters to 5000 meters
• D. 1000 meters to 15000 meters

Answer: (A)

Understanding rangefinder limits is about knowing the usable distance span. The MELIOS is designed to measure distances from a near-field minimum of about 50 meters up to a maximum of 9,995 meters. The lower bound exists because measurements very close to the observer are harder to lock onto reliably with the device’s optics and sensor thresholds, so the system is optimized for targets farther away. The upper bound reflects the furthest distance at which the laser and receiver can still provide a dependable range reading under normal conditions, with the electronics able to process and present a valid result. Other options don’t match this specification because they either start too close (25, 100, or 1000 meters) or extend beyond or fall short of the device’s true maximum (9000, 5000, or 15000 meters). That precise 50 to 9,995 meters range aligns with how the MELIOS is designed to be used in the field.
