2.2.3 INSTALLATION OF REMOTE SWITCH ASSEMBLIES
The RMSAL is equipped as part of the standard kit with two (2) remote switch
assemblies. The one with the BLACK button provides the operator with access
to the full range of functions and capabilities that the RMSAL has to offer. The
one with the
BLUE
button has a laser SAFETY INTERLOCK incorporated into it.
While the operator has access to the full functionality of the RMSAL, the output
power of the near-IR aiming and illumination lasers is limited to less than 600μW
in order to keep the system eye safe for force-on-force training and exercise
applications. Note that when the
BLUE
SAFETY INTERLOCK remote switch
assembly is installed in the RMSAL, it also regulates the power associated with
the “FIRE” button. When the BLUE SAFETY INTERLOCK remote is removed, the
“FIRE” button will remain in eye safe operational mode until such time as the
BLACK
Tactical remote switch is installed which then automatically resets the
power circuits for full output power range access.
Engage the remote switch assemblies by inserting the gold-plated MCX plug into
the mating gold-plated, waterproof connector located on the rear bulkhead on
the right side of the RMSAL. Do not try to remove Remote Switch Assembly by
pulling on the cable. Always grip the MCX connector in order to remove.
2.2.4 PROTECTIVE LENS CAPS
The RMSAL is supplied with protective lens caps for the dual port Visible and
Near-IR Aiming Lasers as well as a separate lens cap for the focusable near-
IR Illuminator. These caps are tethered to the RMSAL to prevent loss. These
caps should be placed over the laser ports when not in service to protect the
lenses from dirt, debris and scratches which may degrade laser performance
and collimation.
