3.3.2 IR ILLUMINATOR OPERATIONS
CAUTION:
When operating the device in extremely dark conditions, the light from the unit’s IR illuminator
will be invisible to the unaided eye. However, the light can be detected by other NVDs.
NOTE:
The IR illuminator is designed to provide additional illumination (when needed) while viewing
scenes or targets from a short distance (up to 3m).
1. IR Illuminator gets activated when the monocular is already on by holding button (A) pressed for
1,5-2 seconds. A red light appears in the eyepiece to indicate that the IR illuminator is operating.
2. You may focus the IR light for additional distance by placing the focusing lens of the IR pivot plate
(B) onto the window of the IR illuminator (C). This will extend the range the useful range of the IR.
3.3.3 OPERATING UNDER CHANGING LIGHT CONDITIONS
If the ambient light level exceeds the limit of 100-300 lx for more than 10 s, the N-14 automatic protec-
tive system will shut off the intensifier tube. If a mission must be carried out in changing light condi-
tions, the user can shut down the protective system manually by closing the photoreceiver.
CAUTION:
DO NOT forget to open the photoreceiver after completing your mission.
