1.4.4 I.R. LED Illuminator
The
PNP-MC
is equipped with a built-in
I.R. LED-type illuminator which provides
additional, close-range covert illumination
when ambient light is insufficient.
The illuminator is activated using the
operating switch.
1.4.5 Operating switch
Operation of the scope is controlled by a
three-position rotary switch:
OFF - All power off.
ON
- The scope is on enabling
night vision.
I.R
- The scope is on and the
built-in I.R. LED
illuminator is activated.
“FOR SAFETY, THE I.R. CAN ONLY BE
SWITCHED WHEN THE SWITCH KNOB
IS FIRMLY PULLED OUT BEFORE
TURNING” “A RED LIGHT SHOWS IN
THE EYEPIECE TO ALERT THE USER
TO THIS FACT”
1.4.6 Bright Light Protection
The image intensifier tube is protected
against bright lights by a Bright Light
Sensor. The
PNP-MC
can be switched
on, with caution and only for a few
seconds, in indoor artificial lighting, but
the Bright Light Sensor will switch the
PNP-MC
off in daylight, only allowing it to
be switched back on when the light level
falls. This protection is in addition to the
internal bright light protection of the
image intensifier tube which only reduces
the gain and which does not switch the
tube completely off. It can be disarmed
for daylight training by covering the
sensor orifice with a small piece of
electrical tape to prevent daylight
entering.
