REMARKS
VISIBLE
Visible Aiming
Laser ONLY
The visible aiming laser provides rapid target
acquisition with the unaided eye in low light
environments.
OFF
The RMSAL will
not operate
The OFF position minimizes battery drain and
should be used when diving to depth in order
to prevent accidental activation due to water
pressure. Note that from the OFF position, one
turn CCW gives the visible aiming laser and one
turn CW gives the near-IR aiming laser.
IR AIM
Near-IR Aiming
Laser ONLY
The near-IR aiming laser provides targeting
that is invisible to the unaided eye. NVDs are
required to see laser.
IR AIM +
IR ILLUM
Both Near-IR
Aiming Laser and
near-IR Illuminator
emit together
The dual operation of the near-IR aiming laser
and Illuminator permit the target to be flushed
out while the aiming laser directs fire.
IR ILLUM
Near-IR Illuminator
ONLY
Provides invisible, near-IR illumination to extend
range of NVDs and to look into windows, cars,
tree-lines, etc.
VIS+
IR ILLUM
Visible Aiming
Laser and Near-IR
Illuminator emit
together
Provides for integration of NVD equipped and
non-NVD equipped operators during a joint
mission/evolution.
2.3.2 INTEGRAL “FIRE” BUTTON
The RMSAL is equipped with an integrated “FIRE” button that performs the same
function as the remote cable switch and is located on the top of the RMSAL at the
rear left corner where it is clearly marked. In the event of remote cable assembly
damage or failure, the “FIRE” button can activate the RMSAL lasers.
