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.

When combined with one of SIG SAUER’s BDX enabled riflescopes, the user ranges a target and the firing solution is instantly shared with the BDX riflescope where the holdover dot is selectively illuminated.

GENERAL OPERATION Your rangefinder provides 4 modes of operation: AMR, LOS, ABU and ABE/ABX. 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.
Page 11
sigsauer.com MODES OF OPERATION - ANGLE MODIFIED 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.
Page 12
ANGLE MODIFIED RANGE Example: LOS range of 500 yards at 30’ decline is equivalent to an AMR range of 433 yards...
Page 13
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.

Example: LOS range = 568.6 yards with 0.308 Barnes Elevation adjustment = 18.19 MOA Up Windage adjustment = 7.59 MOA Right...

sigsauer.com DIOPTER ADJUSTMENT The diopter or focus adjustment is integral to the eyecup. The focus adjustment is used to bring the display into sharp focus along with the target image. The diopter adjustment can turn clockwise or counter- clockwise depending upon the user’s prescription EYECUP ADJUSTMENT The eyecup adjustment allows the user to adjust the eye relief for use with or without glasses.

DISPLAY INFORMATION The display shows you the center aiming circle, the unit of measure (Y), Angle Modified Range mode (AMR) and the remaining battery status. The display will remain active for up to 30 seconds , or whatever timeout has been set within in the SIG BDX App. You can then press the RANGE button to determine range to target.
Page 21
sigsauer.com HyperScan MODE While the rangefinders support single button push ranging operation, it is highly recommended that you push and hold the RANGE button down to activate HyperScan mode. This mode allows you to scan targets at 4X/second which significantly improves ranging performance at extreme distances. As the ranging distances are updated very quickly in HyperScan mode, once you release the RANGE button the last acquired distance will be displayed.
Page 22
CHANGING MODES OF OPERATION The rangefinder ships with the most common modes already configured. However, you can access and change the following features: • Line of Sight (LOS), Angle Modified Range (AMR), Applied Ballistics Ultralight (ABU) or ABE/ABX • Best or Last Target •...

sigsauer.com DIGITAL BALLISTICS XCHANGE – DOWNLOADING AND CONFIGURING THE FREE BDX APP In this section you will download the BDX App, pair the App with your KILO and create a custom bullet profile. 1. Turn Bluetooth on Check in Settings on your Android or iOS device to make sure that Bluetooth is on. If Bluetooth is off, switch it on.
Page 28
2. Download the BDX App from the App Store / Google Play Store Go to the App Store or the Google Play store and download the SIG SAUER BDX App. Search for the word SIG SAUER or BDX.
Page 29
3. Launch the free SIG SAUER BDX App and Pair with your KILO (Enter your PIN code) On your smartphone, open the BDX App, click on PAIRING, turn on your KILO by pressing and releasing the RANGE button and then press “Scan for Devices” on the App. Your KILO should be listed below the KILO icon and “Select Device”.
Page 30
Make sure your KILO stays on during the pairing process by periodically pressing and releasing the RANGE button. You will be prompted to look through your KILO for a PIN number. Type this PIN number into the open dialogue box within the App. The PIN in your KILO and the PIN entered on your smartphone must match.
Page 31
You may be prompted to update the software on your KILO. These software updates are mandatory and allow Sig Sauer to ensure that your BDX App and KILO perform optimally. Most updates take less than 1 minute. Ensure that your KILO is turned on and that your smartphone has at least 25% battery life remaining before installing any software updates.
Page 32
4. Configure up to 25 custom bullet profiles The BDX App allows you to create and modify up to 25 profiles. From the home screen of the App touch PROFILES. Only one profile can be active at any time and is denoted by the BDX Icon in blue to the right of the screen.
Page 33
sigsauer.com After selecting a bullet manufacturer, select the actual bullet you intend to use. Once selected you will return to the Gun Profile page where you will need to click on the sync icon to the right to activate this profile. In this example the new profile is called “.223 Sierra” – be sure to activate this profile.

sigsauer.com 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.

MUZZLE VELOCITY (MV) CALIBRATION (continued) Now enter the elevation offset between point of impact and point of aim and select CONFIRM. In this example the 3 shot group was 7 inches low. A new MV of 2477 fps was calculated. Select YES to confirm and this MV will now be used for ballistic solutions going forward.

PAIRING A KESTREL 5700 ELITE WITH THE KILO2400BDX Using the RANGE / MODE buttons or the BDX App, put the KILO in ABE/ABX mode. This allows the KILO to be seen by the Kestrel. ABE will be displayed in the KILO. AB External will be displayed in the App.

KILO. Relaunch the App, turn on your KILO and repeat the Pairing instructions in this manual. Q: I can’t locate the BDX App on the Apple or Android Stores. A: Search for Sig Sauer or BDX at the store.
Page 42
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. This is normal operation but you should keep a spare CR2 battery when heading out to remote locations.
Page 43
sigsauer.com Q: When using AB External on my KILO I can no longer see the rangefinder information on the HUD in the BDX App. A: If your KILO and a Kestrel are actively paired (sending / receiving information) the BDX App cannot be connected and paired to your KILO at the same time.
