IR ILLUMINATOR
Infra-red (IR) Illuminators are common for
night vision technology. The IR light greatly
enhances the performance of your Aries
scope, while remaining almost totally invis-
ible to the naked eye. In dark environment,
power up the Aries scope. Now, find a scene
and examine it without the IR on then with IR
powered up. Note the difference in illumina-
tion. It is important to remember that the IR
illuminator is simply an infra red light source,
and like any light source it may loose its
effectiveness over a great distance.
To fix the IR Illuminator to the riflescope
screw the thumb screw on the IR into the
thread on the scope. To switch the IR on and
to adjust the brightness rotate the rheostat
located on the side of the Illuminator. The
changes of adjustment could be observed
while looking through the scope. The IR is
off when the mark on the rheostat coincides
with “0” on the scale.
NOTE: The riflescope could be equipped with
digitally controlled IR.
The IR illuminator control buttons are
located on its side. To switch the Digital IR
illuminator on/off press “+” and “-” buttons
simultaneously. When the IR illuminator is
switched on you can see the green LED lit.
By pushing the buttons “+” and “-” you may
adjust the IR brightness.
The IR beam is focusable to change the
field of coverage. To change the beam width
slightly turn the IR lens.
You could change the IR control panel fitting
your needs. The screw-tool included into
the set should be used for weakening the
fixing screw located on the IR. Rotate the IR
placing at in the most convenient position.
Tighten the screw with the screw-tool to fix
the new position.
The range finder reticle in Aries 6900/7900/
8900 was designed to assist you in deter-
mining the range of your target.
These distances are based on a 6’ target.
A 6’ target fits between the numbered base-
line (the three short horizontal lines directly
next to the numbers) and the main horizon-
tal line. If the 6’ target fits between the 1 and
the right horizontal post of the main line the
target is 100 yards away. If the same target
fits between the 2 and the right post of main
line the target is 200 yards away. The same
is with the three, the target is 300 yards
away.
Aries 390 reticle gives a clearly aiming
point, even when hard-to-see game blends
into the background. Thinner posts and
crosshairs center section covers a mini-
mum of the target and allow for less target
coverage, making precision shots on small
targets easy.
Heavy posts stand out against cover and
leads your eye directly to the center inter-
section. The result is fast precision aiming.
