RMSAL
USER MANUAL
for eyesafe operation intended for training and force-on-force exercises. When
the BLUE SAFETY INTERLOCK remote is installed the LED will activate in an
amber color to indicate laser mode selection switch has been moved from the
“OFF” position to one of the active laser functions and is in eyesafe mode.
The second LED on the rear bulkhead of the RMSAL is labeled LASER ACTIVE.
This LED turns on and emits a green light each time that either the remote switch
assembly or the “FIRE” button is pushed provided that the mode selection
switch is not in the “OFF” position. This LED is intended to provide information
to the operator that his laser is active and emitting the particular laser mode
combination selected. When the Mode Select Switch is in the “OFF” position and
the remote switch assembly or “FIRE” button are pushed, the LASER ACTIVE LED
will not light up because there is no active laser emission in that mode.
2.3.7 BALLISTIC ADJUSTERS
Ballistic adjusters on the RMSAL employ a novel departure from the standard
contemporary designs in creating a weapon bore sighted laser. First, the ballistic
adjuster (both elevation and windage) are located on the rear bulkhead of the
RMSAL so that the operator can make fine adjustments of the laser positions
without reaching alongside or forward of the system or muzzle to effect
corrections. Second, using an internal differential transfer mechanism, the
operator can use the onboard lanyard captivated hex tool to make elevation and
windage adjustments. In the event the tool is detached from the RMSAL, the
user can still use a multi-tool, cartridge, or standard screwdriver to make the
necessary adjustment via the slots machined into the head of the adjusters.
Movement of the laser aiming beams is clearly marked in directional terms
of WINDAGE MPI (mean point of impact) left and ELEVATION MPI down. The
onboard ballistic adjuster tool is labeled ADJUST TOOL.
