2.3.5 FOCUSING THE NEAR-IR ILLUMINATOR
The near-IR illuminator on the RMSAL can be focused manually by turning the
knurled bezel assembly. In the fully extended position, the beam divergence
approximates 1 mRad. In the fully recessed position, the beam divergence of the
near-IR illuminator approximates 108 mRad.
2.3.6 INDICATOR LIGHTS
The RMSAL has a series of indicator lights that provide the operator with the
functional status of the system as well as provide useful information to both the
operator and laser safety monitors. There are two (2) light emitting diodes (LED)
on the rear bulkhead of the RMSAL. The first is a bi-color LED, labeled BATT, that
has two functions. The first is to warn the operator that the battery is low and will
need to be replaced within the next 100 laser activations (where an activation is
generally understood to be a 2 second laser emission). This warning light is RED.
The second function of the BATT LED is to provide an indicator to the operator
and laser range safety officer or exercise monitor that the RMSAL is configured
