USING INFRARED ILLUMINATOR:
Your night vision monocular is
equipped with two separate built-
in Infrared illuminator lights. The
Infrared light operates in a
spectrum, which is normally
invisible to a naked human eye,
however with the help of the tube,
located inside the unit, you will see a beam of light when
looking though the ocular lens. This Infrared light is here to assist
you in especially dark conditions, where there is not enough
light for the tube to amplify.
The first illuminator (IR1) (see insert image on the right) operates
on wavelength of 860nm and
provides close-up illumination while
being completely invisible to the
naked eyes and animals (even if
looked directly at the illuminator
lens).
Second illuminator (IR2) (see insert image on the right) operates
at a wavelength of 805nm and provides distant illumination.
This illuminator light can be seen if looked directly at the
illuminator lens, however its beam of light is still invisible to the
naked human eyes.
To turn the close-up Infrared
illuminator (14) ON, first make sure
the unit is ON then rotate the
Power Switch (10) to the IR1
position. To do that, you must
gently pull the top slide lever of
the switch with your index finger
and then rotate the switch one
dial. When looking through the ocular lens, you will notice a
faint green indicator light at approximately 6 o’clock position
outside of the field of view – this is to remind you that the
infrared light is on. To turn the infrared light off, rotate the
power switch one dial back to ON position.
