Laser Tester Question

[snoopyc4]

A week ago, i purchased a laser tester from radarbusters.com to test laser sensitivity on my V1 and my ZR4s. Both of them alerted of course. But, does the laser tester also test the shifting of my laser jammers or does it just test laser reception?

Nop, you meant if they can test if your jammers are firing?
you can only test this by using an IR camera to see if they fire when you use the tester on them.
Tester will only tell you if they detect, but not jamming.
BTW this another feature that parking sensor type jammers have, it perform a self test and it parking works, jammer would work as well..

Shoot the jammers with your tester and look at the sensors through a cell phone camera. You should be able to see the bank of LEDs light up in response.

thanks dj, worked like a charm

How powerful are the IR LEDs on the jammers? Are they enough to damage your eyes?

No, unless you put your eyeballs right up to the heads while they're firing.

Laser Diode based systems can be up to 90W of peek power and those are Class 1M.

From Wiki: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Laser_s...Classification

Class 1M

LASER RADIATION
DO NOT VIEW DIRECTLY WITH OPTICAL INSTRUMENTS
CLASS 1M LASER PRODUCT

A Class 1M laser is safe for all conditions of use except when passed through magnifying optics such as microscopes and telescopes. Class 1M lasers produce large-diameter beams, or beams that are divergent. The MPE for a Class 1M laser cannot normally be exceeded unless focusing or imaging optics are used to narrow the beam. If the beam is refocused, the hazard of Class 1M lasers may be increased and the product class may be changed. A laser can be classified as Class 1M if the total output power is below class 3B but the power that can pass through the pupil of the eye is within Class 1.

Great. Now you tell me. My eyes hurt.
