2.5 BORESIGHTING PROCEDURES

The ATPIAL incorporates a factory preset feature that may

be used to quickly bring the co-aligned Visible and IR Aim

Lasers nearly parallel with the barrel of the host weapon.

CAUTION

Do not force the adjusters beyond their end of

travel. Forcing them will damage the adjusters or

internal components.

NOTE

To minimize laser travel as a result of weapon

shock, it is good practice to place a positive load

on the adjusters by ending all boresight adjuster

rotations with an approximate 1/2 turn in a CCW

direction.

To establish this preset, rotate both the Aim Laser boresight

adjusters to the full CCW end of travel, then rotate them

back CW three complete turns. Finally, place a positive load

on the adjusters by turning each adjuster 1/2 turn CCW.

The ATPIAL may also be boresighted to the host weapon

using a Laser Borelight System (LBS). Table 2-7 provides

10m Target Offsets for this purpose. Refer to the latest

version of the LBS Operator Manual for boresighting

procedures.
