APPLICATION
Our new Aries 390 “Paladin” is the best 1 st
generation scope on the market.
We started by improving the optical configu-
rations with lowered F-stop factors (from 1.7
on previous models to 1.4(!) on new) and
optical resolution that is beyond current
military standards (old 45lp/mm and the
new is 60lp/mm). This provides you with the
brightest and clearest image in a 1 st gen unit.
Then we added our precision “red on green”
aiming system, easy push button operation,
reticle brightness adjustment and our new
detachable, most powerful in the industry
450mw Infrared Illuminator with dedicated
windage and elevation adjustments.
Do you want the best NVD weapon sight
on the market? If so then our new Aries
6900/7900/8900 “Crusader” is for you.
It doesn’t get any better then the Crusader
when it comes to performance. For the Cru-
sader we use a top of the line “Prime Select”
light intensifier tube for added light gain and
resolution. Combine this select tube with 5x
magnification and a super fast F:1.4 lens the
image that you will get out of your Crusader
is unbelievable.
The best optics, tubes and 3 year warranty
makes the Aries 6900/7900/8900 Crusader
one of the best Night Vision weapon sights
there is!

PREPARATION FOR OPERATION
Before getting started make sure to follow
these steps:
• Install the battery into its housing with the
polarity order shown on the main body of
the unit.
• Switch on the Aries scope with the protec-
tive tens cover still attached to the tens.
• Make sure that the green luminance of the
light intensifier tube is present.
• Observe the scene, and adjust the diopter
and/or lens for optimal image clarity.
• You may now enter a dark environment or
simply shut the lights off in order to darken
the room.
• Next, remove the lens cap/daylight filter.
• Observe the scene, and adjust the front
lens for ideal focus.

(IR) illuminator on. Notice the ability of the
Aries scope to see in total darkness with
the aid of the IR illuminator.
