Model RM10K. InVeris Training Solutions revolutionized range operations by developing a range control system that allows range officers to leave the control room while still retaining complete control of the range. RangeMaster™10K control system combines touch screen technology and wireless communication to give range officers unprecedented control from any location in the range.
Handheld personal digital assistants (PDAs) and tablet personal computers provide the portability to allow range operators full automation of the range while interacting with the shooters at the line. With RangeMaster™10K, range operators are no longer confined to a control room so more time can be devoted to firearms instruction rather than range management.
RangeMaster™ 10K Touch screen controller is intuitive, easy to navigate, and allows range personnel to operate their range by simply touching icons on the display screen. The screen is segmented into three main parts: target commands appear on the left side of the display, range layout is adjacent to this, and a menu bar appears across the bottom of the display.
Controls for sending commands to the targets are clearly identified and are similar in functionality to toolbars most Windows® users are familiar with. Along with the standard target actuation commands of FRIEND – FOE – EDGE, RangeMaster™ 10K can execute random target actuation when controlling the RTS-360™ target system. This command instructs the target to present a complete, unexpected turn to the left or right in increments up to 360 degrees.
RangeMaster™ 10K allows you to create scenarios which consist of a set of target movements for specified durations. Once created, the training scenario program can be stored so it is accessible to run any time you need it.
RangeMaster™ 10K can also control a number of optional range support systems such as range and target carrier lighting, and signal light security systems. The Emergency Stop feature located on the home screen provides a quick and easy method for halting all range operations with a single press of the button.
The range layout is depicted using a grid of targets and provides a real time display of target conditions. Each target is identified by the lane number, distance location, lighting indicators, signal lights, and control mode. The range operator can acquire or release control of a lane by simply pressing the corresponding button on the touch screen display. Releasing the target allows shooters to have independent control of their lane using the individual control units located at each firing position.
RangeMaster™ 10K allows multiple devices to control the range at the same time. For example, a range master could run a scenario on lanes 6 through 10 from RangeMaster™ 10K, while another range instructor is positioned at the firing line and operating lanes 1 through 5 with RangeMaster™ 10K wireless tablet controller.
In short, RangeMaster 10K allows range masters unprecedented control over firing ranges through multiple wireless devices from any location in the range.
