5-1 ZEROING OpERATIONAL DEFECTS

Operational defects relate to the reliability of the image intensi-

fier and are an indication of instability. If identified, they are an

immediate cause for rejecting the ATN NVM-14. They include

shading, edge glow, flashing, flickering, and intermittent opera-

tion.

A. SHADING

If shading is persistent, you will not see a fully circular image

(Figure 5-1). Shading is very dark and you cannot see an image

through it. Shading always begins on the edge and migrates

inward eventually across the entire image area. Shading is a

high contrast area with a distinct line of demarcation. Return the

ATN NVM-14 to the maintainer.

NOTE
Make sure the shading is not the result of improper eye-relief

adjustment.
