sigsauer.com LIGHTWAVE™ DSP TECHNOLOGY SIG SAUER’s proprietary Lightwave DSP engine leverages HyperScan – an advanced power management technique that provides the fastest refresh rate in scan mode (4 times per second) even at distances up to a mile. Our DSP engine uses the latest generation field programmable gate array (FPGA) running sophisticated signal processing algorithms to reduce false positives while finding weak or distant targets.
SIG SAUER BALLISTIC DATA XCHANGE (BDX) SIG SAUER’s Patent Pending BDX system takes the guesswork out of determining the proper range and ballistics solution for hitting your target with the first round. Low Energy Bluetooth combined with an embedded ballistic calculator (Applied Ballistics Ultralight) allows the user to configure up to 25 bullet profiles on the free BDX App and sync to your KILO.
sigsauer.com GENERAL OPERATION Your rangefinder provides 3 modes of operation: AMR, LOS and ABU. AMR and LOS will be explained on the next page. When ABU is selected the user can pair the KILO with a nearby smartphone where the BDX App should already be installed. The user configures a bullet profile in the app, which is actively synced with a paired rangefinder. For example, the user downloads and installs the BDX App, selects a 0.
APPLIED BALLISTICS ULTRALIGHT (ABU) Your rangefinder has an embedded ballistics solver developed by Sig Sauer, Applied Ballistics and nVisti. By pairing your KILO with the free BDX App you can enter custom ballistics information for up to 25 bullet profiles and sync one at a time to your KILO. The active ballistic profile is now saved on your KILO, and when in ABU mode, will provide an accurate ballistic solution out to 800 yards maximum.
sigsauer.com S t (LO Line igh of S 8 f 56 eo ng ) ra t4 ds a ar .6 y ne ncli es i re deg Example: LOS range = 568.6 yards with 0.308 Barnes Elevation adjustment = 18.19 MOA Up Windage adjustment = 7.
MODES OF OPERATION - ANGLE MODIFED RANGE (AMR) AND LINE OF SIGHT (LOS) Angle modified range is the equivalent horizontal range to the target and is comparable to the “horizontal leg” of a triangle. AMR is also known as “rifleman’s rule” and uses the LOS range and angle of incline to calculate the horizontal distance the projectile travels between shooter and target. AMR is very accurate for shorter distances (i.e. < 400 yards) and archery. Line of sight is the range to the target independent of angle.

MUZZLE VELOCITY (MV) CALIBRATION The most important input for calculating accurate Applied Ballistics solutions is getting your MV correct. You need to either chronograph your firearm or use the embedded MV Calibration routine built into the BDX App. To use the MV Calibration routine make sure your scope is zeroed (i.e.
sigsauer.com MUZZLE VELOCITY (MV) CALIBRATION (continued) After performing a 3 shot group, note if your point of impact was high or low relative to your point of aim. If your group was high, select High. If low, select Low. If POA = POI, then cancel the muzzle calibration. If your group was high or low, then select the unit of offset in MILS, MOA, Inches or Centimeters and finally input the amount of offset or miss.
MUZZLE VELOCITY (MV) CALIBRATION (continued) After entering the amount of offset the app will calculate a new MV. Confirm the calculated (calibrated) MV and the new MV value will be saved in your bullet profile. In this example the miss was high by 4 inches which computed to an MV of 2799 fps.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS (FAQ): Q: I can’t get the display to focus. A: You need to adjust the diopter ring to your vision. Rotate the eyecup / diopter ring in either direction until the display comes into sharp focus. Q: I can’t seem to range very far past trees or animals. A: Your KILO will perform differently based on changes in ambient conditions such as bright sunlight or snow, rain or fog, temperature and the reflectivity of the target being ranged.
sigsauer.com Q: I can’t locate the BDX App on the Apple or Android Stores. A: Search for Sig Sauer or BDX at the store. Q: My battery drains too fast. A: Most rangefinders will provide over 4000 individual range calculations using a fresh CR2 primary lithium battery. Your KILO exceeds this specification. When heavily using SCAN mode the battery may appear to drain faster since your KILO is ranging 4x per second in HyperScan mode.
