1.1.3 PURPOSE OF EqUIPMENT
The Zeus is intended for use on a variety of hunting and sporting weapons equipped with a Picatinny/
Weaver rail. Displaying the thermal differences in the scene, the high-performance thermal imaging system
of the Zeus provides round-the-clock, all-weather detection and discrimination of heat-generating objects
(such as animals), including those that are hidden. The Zeus is effective at close and long ranges irrespective
of light and weather conditions, i.e., in total darkness, through smoke, haze, fog, and light rain.
The ZEUS is available in different versions with magnifications ranging from 1.5x to 7.2x.
The Zeus is powered by two CR 123A (2×3V) batteries. An external 6 VDC/1A power source can also be
used to power the Zeus.
The Zeus can be controlled by a wireless remote control that fastens to the weapon.
The Zeus is equipped with a standard NTSC/PAL video input/output function that makes it possible to con-
nect to an external video display or monitor, or to record thermal images for field documentation or train-
ing purposes. It also allows the transmission of data from one remote display to that of the Zeus.
The Zeus can be used in conjunction with other Armasight equipment such as the DT Digital Video Re-
corder and MCS Miniature Collimating Sight that can be mounted onto the Zeus’ Picatinny/Weaver rail or
detachable platform ring.
Extremely reliable and versatile, the Zeus is a useful multifunctional addition to any security or hunting
weapon platform.
