FIGURE 2-15. TILT AND FLIP-UP ASSEMBLY MECHANISMS

NOTE:

The sharpest image will only be visible when the objective lens and eyepiece lens are both 

properly focused.

5. Rotate the diopter for the clearest view of the image intensifier screen.

NOTE:

Any eye relief adjustment requires diopter adjustment.

6. Adjust eye relief distance by holding the side buttons (or lever, if using a metal mount) down 

(Figure 2-15) and sliding the monocular back and forth until you obtain a full view of the image. 

Adjust the diopter for the sharpest image.

7. While viewing an object, adjust the objective lens focus (Figure 2-1) until the image becomes 

sharp and clear.

8. To flip the device up, grasp the helmet tilt and flip-up assembly and rotate upward and backward 

until the latch is firmly engaged.

WARNING:

The monocular will not automatically turn off when flipped up but must be turned off using the 

power switch.

9. To flip the device down, grasp the helmet tilt and flip-up assembly and rotate downward and 

forward until the latch is firmly engaged.

10. Turn the device ON to resume viewing.

2.3.4 WEAPON-MOUNTED OPERATION

NOTE:

The PVS-14 can be used in conjunction with a collimated dot aiming device mounted on the 

forward mounting rail. The brightness control for the aiming device should be set at or near its 

lowest setting.
