DESCRIPTION AND DATA
2.1 SYSTEM DESCRIPTION
The Zeus consists of two primary parts: a thermal imaging aiming device and a mount. The equipment
comes as shown in Figure 2-1, with the mount secured to the body of the device. The figure represents
two versions of the equipment: one including a 42mm focal length objective lens, and the other with a
75mm focal length objective lens.
The Zeus is a thermosensitive device equipped with an aiming reticle. The Zeus senses the differences
in heat emitted by objects in its field of view and converts the received temperature pattern into a
viewable image that represents the scene in contrasting black and white or color patterns, depending
on the user’s selected image palette.
NOTE:
It is important that the Zeus sensor receive sufficient thermal contrast between the target and
background area, or between the different parts of a target. The vast temperature contrast
between the snow and any heat target (such as an animal) makes it very easy to distinguish
the target.
The main optical-electronic components of the Zeus include: an objective thermal lens, an eyepiece,
a thermal-imaging camera, a display, a control card, and a button control panel. The reticle is digitally
inputt into the display that is in the image plane.
The Zeus is equipped with manual eyepiece and objective lens focusing, and digital boresight adjust-
ment.
To accommodate individual user needs, the Zeus has a variety of digitally-controlled options, such as
display brightness, temperature imaging mode (image palette), reticle pattern and color, a hunting
scenarios function, field environment corrections, temperature measurement, and zoom capabilities.
