ATN Aries 390 manual IR Illuminator, Rangefinder Reticle

IR ILLUMINATOR

Infra-red (IR) Illuminators are common for night vision technology. The IR light greatly enhances the performance of your Aries scope, while remaining almost totally invis- ible to the naked eye. In dark environment, power up the Aries scope. Now, find a scene and examine it without the IR on then with IR powered up. Note the difference in illumina- tion. It is important to remember that the IR illuminator is simply an infra red light source, and like any light source it may loose its effectiveness over a great distance.

To fix the IR Illuminator to the riflescope screw the thumb screw on the IR into the thread on the scope. To switch the IR on and to adjust the brightness rotate the rheostat located on the side of the Illuminator. The changes of adjustment could be observed while looking through the scope. The IR is off when the mark on the rheostat coincides with “0” on the scale.

NOTE: The riflescope could be equipped with digitally controlled IR.

The IR illuminator control buttons are located on its side. To switch the Digital IR illuminator on/off press “+” and “-” buttons simultaneously. When the IR illuminator is switched on you can see the green LED lit. By pushing the buttons “+” and “-” you may adjust the IR brightness.

The IR beam is focusable to change the field of coverage. To change the beam width slightly turn the IR lens.

You could change the IR control panel fitting your needs. The screw-tool included into the set should be used for weakening the fixing screw located on the IR. Rotate the IR placing at in the most convenient position. Tighten the screw with the screw-tool to fix the new position.

RANGEFINDER RETICLE

The range finder reticle in Aries 6900/7900/ 8900 was designed to assist you in deter- mining the range of your target.

These distances are based on a 6’ target.

A 6’ target fits between the numbered base- line (the three short horizontal lines directly next to the numbers) and the main horizon- tal line. If the 6’ target fits between the 1 and the right horizontal post of the main line the target is 100 yards away. If the same target fits between the 2 and the right post of main line the target is 200 yards away. The same is with the three, the target is 300 yards away.

Aries 390 reticle gives a clearly aiming point, even when hard-to-see game blends into the background. Thinner posts and crosshairs center section covers a mini- mum of the target and allow for less target coverage, making precision shots on small targets easy.

Heavy posts stand out against cover and leads your eye directly to the center inter- section. The result is fast precision aiming.
