Tri-Function Lens Cap
To install the Tri-Function Lens Cap, stretch it out and over
the front of the Tri-Laser Assembly so that it is snug and
firmly in place (see Figures 2-10 and 2-11). When installed,
the Tri-Function Lens Cap serves the following purposes:
a. Uses an Illuminator Diffuser to spread the laser
energy from the IR Illuminator over an angle
approaching 180 degrees, allowing for illumination of
a wider area. It is most effective when used in
conjunction with the IR Illumination Focus Knob
adjusted to the widest beam (flood) setting.
b. Prevents emission from the Visible Aim Laser.
c. Uses a Neutral Density Filter to reduce scatter from
the IR Aim Laser.
