protective cover. This allows for a clear view through the sight’s window,
and restores the auto-brightness function (Figure 5B).
If the target background is extremely bright (i.e., glare bouncing off of the
ground, as is common in desert and wet environments), the lens cover acts
as a light filter. In this configuration, the tab on the lens cover is flipped up
to allow the photo sensor to function properly (Figure 5C).
The protective cover is plastic and snaps onto the MCS. No special tools
are required to install or remove this cover. When the cover is removed, the
sight can be used as a normal, open sight.
4. MOUNTING INSTRUCTIONS
The Armasight MCS comes in two versions (models): one with a mount for a
standard Picatinny rail (optical axis height is equal to 38 mm); and a second
one that can be mounted onto an ACOG 4x32 (Trijicon) riflescope (optical
axis height is equal to 47 mm). For your convenience, the Armasight MCS
can be mounted the collating sight onto a weapon without any specialized
adapters.
4.1 MOUNTING ONTO A pICATINNY RAIL
The Armasight MCS Picatinny mount model can
be attached to the M16/ M4 Picatinny-style rail.
To do this, loosen the horizontal fixation screw.
Place the scope onto the Picatinny rail, and verify
that the mount aligns with the rail. Re-tighten
the horizontal fixation screw (Figure 6).
