- the power emitted may be a function of the estimated distance between the light emitter 1 and the target.
- the estimated distance is between a few meters and about 50 meters.
- the energy emitted to achieve the incapacitating effect depends on the conditions of use. Indeed, the emitted light energy is stronger if the target is in a bright environment than in a dark environment.

- the second operating condition may represent an absence of transmission of the received light energy.
- the observation system 3 can be made by any suitable device that allows an observer to watch a scene, for example a pair of glasses, a camera, an infrared viewing device. Since transmitter 1 generates electromagnetic radiation by flash, the scene has two very different illumination periods. In a first period, the scene is dimly lit by the transmitter 1 or the scene is not lit by the transmitter 1. The observer 4 can clearly observe the scene because the observation system 3 transmits all or a large part of the indicative radiation. In a second period of illumination, the transmitter 1 generates a very powerful flash. The system observation 3 switches in the second mode of operation to limit the light energy sent to the observer 4 and avoid the glare of the observer 4. Thus, in the second period, the scene is brightly lit and the target is dazzled. The observer 4 is not dazzled because the observation system 3 then transmits little or no radiation.

If the time difference is fixed, the computer can be a clock that triggers the switchover in the second condition of operation. If the time difference is variable, the variability can be recorded in a memory present in the observation system 3 or it can be described in the first electromagnetic radiation.

For example, it is possible to use the difference between two successive elementary signals, the difference in intensity or the sign of the difference in intensity, the wavelengths used.

Depending on the number of available characteristics, the signal can convey more or less complex data.

In this way, the observation system 3 receives the first electromagnetic radiation and a computer triggers the tilting of the observation system 3, after the time difference, in the second mode of operation to contain the flash.
- two successive incapacitating flashes are preceded by two first electromagnetic radiations and the time differences are different.

- the internal clock of the transmitter and / or the observation device does not necessarily have the capacity to maintain the desired time accuracy over several hours or days, it is advantageous to synchronize the equipment with the external source. In this way, by using a clock of lesser quality, it is possible to precisely synchronize the transmitter with the observation device over long periods. Synchronization is not necessarily performed continuously.
- the synchronization circuit is advantageously used periodically to control the synchronization of the different elements together.
- the synchronization signal is then used as a re-synchronization signal to maintain the initial synchronization or to correct any drift.
