2.1 SYSTEM DESCRIPTION

The ATN PS-15 is a hand-held, head-mounted or helmet- mounted night vision system that enables walking, short-range surveillance, map reading, vehicle maintenance, and adminis- tering first aid in both moonlight and starlight. Each unit allows for vertical adjustment (by using head straps), fore-and-aft adjustment, objective lens focus, and eyepiece focus. The device is also equipped with an infrared light-emitting source. Optional 3X Afocal Lenses makes the ATN PS-15 into binocular with enhanced range performance.

PS-15 Night Vision goggles utilize the principle of intensifica- tion of the residual light which is reflected from the surrounding objects. The optical system of the goggles consists of: an objec- tive lens, an image intensifier tube and an eyepiece.

Even under unsteady brightness conditions, Automatic Bright- ness Adjustment System always keeps the IIT brightness level constant.

The Automatic Protective System controls the existing illumina- tion level through the photo receiver. If the illumination level sur- passes 100-300 lx for the following 10 seconds, the goggles will shut off automatically. If you move the unit away from the bright/ excessive light the unit will turn back on again. The Automatic Protective System can be switch off for test the unit in the day- light with protective cups on the lens.

Built-in IR Illuminator makes it possible to observe the objects when the goggles work in the conditions of low light or total dark- ness.

The eyepiece incorporates several LED indicators:

-RED – serves as an IR Illuminator Indicator and an Battery Low Indicator at a time. IR is on when the indicator light becomes stable. If the indicator light starts flickering, it means there might be about 20% of battery charge left.

-GREEN – serves as an Excessive Brightness Indicator. If the bright light remains unchanged for over 10 seconds after the
