WARNING
*IMPORTANT NOTE FOR OPERATOR SAFETY*
The use of the IR illuminator in open spaces makes the operator visible for outside observers with night
vision. We recommend using it only in confined spaces or extreme situations.
2.2.2. Objective Focus
The objective focus allows adjusting the focus from 15 cm to infinity by turning the objective lens.
2.2.3. Diopter Ring
The
PD-PRO-16B
eyepiece enables diopter adjustment to suit different user eyesight, by means of the
diopter ring. It is attached to the eyepiece and provides continuous adjustment from -6 to +2 diopters.
2.2.4. IR LED Illuminator
The
PD-PRO-16B
is equipped with a built-in IR 935 nm diode (almost invisible for Gen 3 IIT), which gives
additional close-range covert illumination. The illuminator is activated by setting the operating switch to
IR position. A red indicator is displayed in the field of view indicating that the IR illuminator is active.
2.2.5. Battery Compartment
The
PD-PRO-16B
battery compartment accepts a single “AA” size battery 1.5 alkaline or lithium and
provides inverse polarity protection.
2.2.6. Mounting Recess
The recess is the mounting surface between the
PD-PRO-16M
and the helmet mount or head mount.
2.2.7. Neck Cord (optional)
The
PD-PRO-16B
can be provided with a neck cord for user’s convenience. The type of neck cord can be
suited to customer’s requirements.
2.2.8. Operating Principle
The
PD-PRO-16B
operation principle is depicted in Figure 3 and is the same for boot goggle arms. Light
entering the objective lens is focused onto the image intensifier. The image intensifier (2) receives the
optical image from the objective lens (1) in the form of light energy, focused onto the photo cathode (4).
The photocathode is a light-sensitive surface, when light hits the surface it emits electrons.
The optical image is transformed into an electronic one, intensified by a micro-channel plate, and
projected onto the phosphor screen at the rear of the image intensifier. This can then be seen through
the eyepiece (3).
The
PD-PRO-16B
uses 4G 16mm high performance tubes with green or white phosphor, characterized
by low weight, high gain, reduced halo and reduced blooming effect, which normally occurs when
viewing a bright light source.
