INFRA-RED ILLUMINATION
By pressing “SL” button three times you can switch to RED DIODE “I”. RED DIODE represents
100M infra-red illuminator’s brightness adjustment mode. Adjustments can be easily observed
through the Aries scope 6500 while pressing” +” / “ -” adjustment buttons.
Infra-red illuminators, or IR illuminators, are common to night vision. The IR light greatly
enhances to the performance of the Aries 6500 while remaining almost totally invisible to the
naked eye. 100M IR illuminator on the Aries 6500 is located near the windage and elevation
adjustments.
Power up the Aries scope in a dark environment. Find an object and examine it with IR off, then
on. You could observe illumination difference. It is important to remember that the IR illumina-
tor is simply an infra-red light source and like any light source it may loose its effectiveness
over long distances.
To change the field of coverage from the IR illuminator, focus the beam by turning IR illumina-
tor lens to slightly alter the beam width.
NOTE: The IR switches off automatically after the unit’s main power is off.
