IR ILLUMINATOR OPERATION
CAUTION:
Do not forget that light emitted from the IR illuminator is invisible to the naked eye; however, it
can be easily detected when using night vision devices.
Infrared illuminators are used in areas where the level of light is not sufficient for surveillance. An IR
illuminator can provide an extra source of infrared light, which, although invisible to a naked eye, can
greatly enhance the performance of night vision devices. Turn on the IR illuminator when working in
total darkness. Please remember that the beam emitted by your IR illuminator will lose its brightness
over distance. The built-in IR illuminator is designed to provide additional source of light for reading
maps or other basic, short-range applications; the viewing distance is up to 3m.
You can activate the IR illuminator of your goggles by pushing the IR button after you’ve turned the
unit on. A green LED light will appear when the IR illumination is turned on.
NOTE:
The IR will automatically turn off when the unit’s main power is turned OFF.
Focus the IR light, if necessary, by placing the pivotal focusing lens onto the IR illuminator output win-
dow.
OPTIONAL IR810 ILLUMINATOR
IR810 long-range infrared illuminator provides greater viewing capabilities when the environment has
little or no ambient light.
To mount an IR810 Long Range Infrared Illuminator to the Ninox, use the optional Dovetail to Weaver
Transfer Piece. Perform the following steps:
1) Install the transfer piece onto one of the Ninox rails.
2) Tighten the two fixing screws on the transfer piece.
3) Loosen the IR illuminator fixing screw.
4) Mount the IR illuminator on the Weaver rail of transfer piece and tighten the fixing screw.
The Armasight IR810 runs on a single CR123A battery. To install the battery, unscrew the battery com-
partment cap and insert the battery in accordance with the polarity markings on the unit’s body. Screw
the battery compartment cap back into position.
To turn the IR illuminator on, rotate the operation switch from the OFF position.
To adjust the power and brightness of the beam emit-
ted by the IR illuminator, rotate the illuminator operation
switch.
Focus the IR beam to change the field of coverage. To
focus the beam, rotate the IR illuminator lens until the
image becomes clear.
Adjust the IR spot position in the field of view of the Ni-
nox as follows:
1) Loosen the screw of the clamp on the IR illuminator
mount.
