WARNING :
take into consideration the following information and restrictions in order to avoid damag-
ing the device and to ensure a long service life and failure-free operation:
• Performance of the device in nighttime conditions depends on the level of ambient light in
the environment. Some light (moonlight, starlight, etc.) is required for the device to provide an
image.
• Ambient light level is reduced by the presence of clouds, shade, or objects that block natural
light (buildings, trees, etc.).
• The device loses its effectiveness when operated in shadowed areas.
• The effectiveness of the device is adversely affected by weather conditions such as rain,
snow, sleet, or fog, and environmental conditions such as smoke or dust.
• The device resolution level is reduced in environments with very low light sources. The vis-
ibility will degrade significantly under starlit conditions, particularly in low contrast environ-
ments such as deserts, large areas of uniform vegetation, etc.
• The device is equipped with a protection system that will automatically disable the image
intensifier tube when the illuminance level stays above 40 lux for over 10 seconds.
