7.3 Target box V 3.2
Power supply
Power can be supplied to the LaserPower target box in three different ways:
• External power supply (5  V operational voltage)
•  Lithium  batteries (2x1.5  V AA Lithium). Please use only Lithium batteries!
• PoE  (Power over Ethernet) – CAUTION: Max. cable length:   30 m!
The LaserPower Target box works in exactly the same way, no matter how it is 
supplied with power. You must be aware that, when operating using batteries, 
the Ethernet interface is not available because of the high level of energy con-
sumption.
7.3.1 Battery
There is a possibility of providing power to the LaserPower target box by the  
use of  high-performance batteries. 
This involves the use of two AA Mignon Lithium batteries with 1.5  V [18].
INSTRUCTION !
The battery must be removed for extended periods of 
non-use of the target box in order to prevent damage 
caused by leaking or corroding of the battery.
The service life of the battery depends on the frequency 
of use* (see Instructions of Page 12) . 
Batteries are special waste and must not be put in with 
the household waste. The relevant local waste disposal 
regulations should be observed.
Notes on disposal of batteries
In the context of sale of batteries and the inclusion of batteries with goods deli-
vered, the following should be noted:
As the end-user, you are legally obliged to return used batteries. You can return 
old batteries without charge.
 
The symbols that appear on batteries have the following meaning: The symbol of a refuse bin crossed out indicates that the battery 
cannot be deposited in household refuse.
Pb  = the battery contains more than 0.004 percent by mass of lead.
Cd  = the battery contains more than 0.002 percent by mass of cadmium.
Hg  = the battery contains more than 0.0005 percent by mass of mercury.
Please observe the above-listed instructions.
The brightness settings are made in rotation: By pressing the button [29]  
you increase the brightness. If the brightest setting is currently being used, 
then the device jumps back down to the lowest brightness setting.
There are three brightness settings available:
• Low: ........................................................................\
................. low light intensity
• Normal: ........................................................................\
.. medium light intensity
• High: ................. maximum light intensity and very high power consumption
The appropriate brightness mode is implemented as soon as  / the target area 
illumination goes out again. The appropriate brightness mode can be changed 
at any time while switched on by pressing the button [29].CAUTION !
ANSCHÜTZ recommends the use of the original mains 
unit (5V operating voltage) as the power supply for the 
LaserPower target box! ANSCHÜTZ recommends the  
use of batteries only in exceptional cases.  
						

							12
Insert the batteries (depending on the modell**)
     Battery compartment [17] (on the back of the target box).
        Remove the battery compartment cover [23] (slotted hole rubber grommet).
Fig. 13 Battery compartment with cover on the LaserPower target box Fig. 14 Battery compartment cover
INSTRUCTION !
The battery must be removed for extended periods of 
non-use of the LaserPower target box in order to prevent 
damage caused by leaking or corroding of the battery.
INSTRUCTION !
The service life of the battery in the LaserPower target 
box depends on the type of battery used*, the battery 
quality and its use or frequency of use.
With multiple use, it is perfectly possible that the batte -
ries are „shot flat“ within a period of 1 hour.
ANSCHÜTZ therefore recommends using the mains unit 
with the target box. If you still prefer to use batteries then 
you should use only high-performance Lithium batteries.
*    Lithium battery = long service life 
Alkaline battery = shorter service life
INSTRUCTION !
Batteries are special waste and must not be put in with 
the household waste. The relevant local waste disposal 
regulations should be observed.
 
      Insert Lithium batteries [18] (2x1.5  V AA Lithium) using the correct polarity.
         Close the battery compartment again with the slotted hole rubber  
grommet [23].Fig.  15 Inserting the Lithium batteries
CAUTION !
Danger of destruction by body electricity!
Do not touch electronic components such as printed 
circuit boards !
**There are target boxes, 
which can be operated with 
only one battery.

The operational states of the target box V 3.2
The LaserPower target box Version 3.2 has three different operating conditions:
• Ready for reception = On
• Standby =  Receiving power, but not switched on  
(in idle or power-save mode)
• Off = without batteries and disconnected from the mains (no power supply)
Ready for reception
The LaserPower target box Version 3.2 can be switched on in four different  
ways (= receive-ready mode):
• Switching on using the remote control (with power supply present)
• Power supply from the mains unit recommended!
•    Inserting the high-performance Lithium batteries (2x1.5  V AA Lithium)  
(exceptional cases).
• Power supply via PoE (Power over Ethernet) – max. cable length 30  m!
If the LaserPower target box is supplied with power (mains unit, Lithium battery, 
PoE), i.e. is switched on, this immediately changes to the operating mode „ready 
to receive“. Changing to „Ready to receive“ operational state is indicated by the 
constant and simultaneous illumination of all five target areas (= optical function 
control) for one second.If the target box is already being supplied by a power 
source (e.g. high-performance Lithium battery) and then additional power is 
added (e.g. a mains unit), its condition will not change! I.e. the optical function 
check does not react again. In „Ready to receive“ mode, the LaserPower target 
box waits to be shot by a suitable laser impulse or to receive commands from the 
remote control. If the LaserPower target box is operated using a power unit or 
via PoE, then the Ethernet interface is also available. The Ethernet interface is 
not available in battery mode because of the high level of power con-
sumption.
The operational modes of the target box set immediately after switching 
on are the following:
• LaserPower III operating mode
Fig.  16 Diagram of the possible operating states of the LaserPower target box
Ready for 
receptionStandby
Remote control: On  /StandbyPower supply
Remote control: On /Standby
or 3 hours without activity
INSTRUCTION !
The LaserPower target box is designed only for indoor 
use. For this reason, it should be protected from moisture.
• Brightness setting for the target area: „medium light intensity“
You can find further details on this topic on page 10.
Standby
In this state the LaserPower target box consumes very little energy.
You can switch to the „Standby“ operational state by pressing the On 
/Standby 
button on the remote control. If the LaserPower target box is left idle for three 
hours (it is neither shot at nor is any other activity performed), it will also switch 
to Standby mode automatically. Before the LaserPower target box changes to 
the Standby Mode, this is indicated by all 5 target areas flashing three times in  
a row.
You can only switch from „Standby“ to „Ready to receive“ once the power is on 
by pressing the On  /Standby button on the remote control. As the LaserPower 
target box is in a „dormant state“ in Standby, you must hold down the On  /
Standby button on the remote control for at least one second before the LaserPo-
wer target box switches back over into the „Ready to receive“ state (the switch 
into the „Ready to receive“ state is indicated by all five areas flashing as descri-
bed above).  
						

							14
7.4 Power cable
Another way of supplying power to the 
LaserPower target is by using an external  
pluggable power unit [21]. The power unit  
can be used even when a battery is inserted.
 
The technical specifications of the 
power unit must satisfy the following 
requirements:
• Nominal voltage: 5 V; 1.0 A
• Voltage type: DC (observe following character:                  )
• Current capacity: 1,0  A
•   Plug connection: Coaxial power connector with  
(where possible injection moulded) plug
CAUTION !
The power unit included with the product is designed 
exclusively for use with the LaserPower target box. 
Do not use it for any other device. For operation  
with mains voltage, you must only use the original  
ANSCHÜTZ mains unit (operating voltage 5 Volt) !  
You will find an indication  / logo on the power cable 
underneath the plug (see Fig. 17) ! Please consult your 
own local regulations ! You are personally responsible 
for ensuring the correct and legally permitted use of  
the power unit in your country.

8.1 Rear sight adjustment
The ANSCHÜTZ LaserPower III rear sight can be adjusted both vertically and 
horizontally.
Adjustment:
The target dot always depends on the setting of the rear sight [2]. 
Moving the rear sight [2] to the right causes the shot to be displaced to the right.
Moving the sight upwards causes the shot to be displaced upwards.

8.2 Target reducer
The target reducer [24] and the biathlon target [11] are equipped with  
Velcro stickers.
  In order to fix the target reducer on the biathlon target, push the target  
reducer onto the biathlon target with light pressure (the Velcro strips of  
both components must lie one on top of each other).
The target reducer can be quickly attached and removed as required.
8.3 Laser alignment
The laser is factory set to a range of 10 metres. Where other distances are being 
used, we recommend using a rear sight from the ANSCHÜTZ range of accesso-
ries. The alignment is then carried out using the rear sight adjustment.
8.4 The target areas
If the signal processing recognises a hit on any surface, then the target area 
lights up. A laser shot must remain fully inside the target area for at least 18 ms. 
Any panning or shaking during the shot may have the effect of preventing the 
target display from lighting up. It is therefore essential to aim and fire cleanly. 
Where a hit occurs, the previously unlit target area then lights up in white.
The illuminated target areas [12] can be turned off again in two ways: by pres-
sing the „Delete“ button [26] on the remote control or by waiting at least 60 
seconds as counted from the last hit fired (=  automatic resetting). This means that 
the target is reset automatically after all five target areas have been hit and 60 
seconds have elapsed since the last hit.
8.5 Important information
In order to assure a correct hit evaluation and avoid possible manipulation by 
laser pointers during competition, only the laser pulse from a LaserPower rifle 
will release a hit. 
The LaserPower III target box reacts to the laser pulse of any LaserPower III rifle.
A definite assignment of a Laser Power III target box to an individual rifle is not 
possible.
Same applies to the LaserPower III remote control. Each LaserPower III remote 
control can operate each LaserPower III aim.
INSTRUCTION !
To be considered a hit, 
the laser beam must be 100% 
within the target area.
Edge hits do not count !

INSTRUCTION !
Note on compatibility with earlier 1.x versions:
The LaserPower 1.x rifle version model has had several deve
-
lopment stages, i.e. various different laser pulse detections.  
The target box V  3.x does not detect all laser impulse detec -
tions from LaserPower 1.x rifles made at the time. If the target 
box in version 3.x should fail to recognise the laser impulse of 
a version 1.x LaserPower rifle, please contact us. In this case 
we need to carry out a chargeable replacement of the Version   
1.x rifle electronics.
