2.3 OPERATION PRINCIPLES
2.3.1 MECHANICAL FUNCTIONS
Mechanical adjustments of the PVS-7 allow for physical differences between individual operators us-
ing the system. The goggles’ functions include the power switch, interpupillary adjustment, release
latch, eye relief adjustment, diopter adjustment, IR spot/ flood focus (optional), compass illumination
(optional), and objective lens focus. The mechanical controls are identified in Figure 2-2.
2.1.2 OPTICAL AND ELECTRICAL FUNCTIONS
The optical functions include an objective lens, image intensifier, a collimator lens, and two eyepieces.
The objective lens collects light reflected from the moon, stars or other ambient light in the night
sky, and inverts and focuses an image of the scene onto the image intensifier. The electrical functions
include the following:
A. Power Source. The electronic circuit is powered by replaceable batteries - either a 3.0 Volt lithium
battery (BA-5567/U) or two AA 1.5 Volt alkaline batteries (BA-3O5S/U).
B. Electrical Principles. Power from the batteries is supplied to the components through the RESET/
OFF-ON-IR/ PULL switch as follows:
RESET/ OFF Position. With the switch in the OFF position, the circuit will not supply energy to the image
intensifier or the IR illuminator. You can also turn the switch to this position to reset your device after
automatic shutoff or bright light cutoff.
ON Position. Energy is drawn from the battery compartment to power the goggles. When the voltage
drops to 2.4 VDC, a low battery indicator will begin to blink on the right side region of the eyepiece,
indicating approximately 30 minutes of remaining operating time.
IR/ PULL Position. Energy is drawn from the battery compartment to power the goggles and IR light
source, and a steady red indicator light will appear in the left side region of the eyepiece. The IR can be
momentarily turned on by turning the switch ON without pulling the knob.
