INFRA-RED ILLUMINATION

By pressing “SL” button three times you can switch to RED DIODE “I”. RED DIODE represents 100M infra-red illuminator’s brightness adjustment mode. Adjustments can be easily observed through the Aries scope 6500 while pressing” +” / “ -” adjustment buttons.

Infra-red illuminators, or IR illuminators, are common to night vision. The IR light greatly enhances to the performance of the Aries 6500 while remaining almost totally invisible to the naked eye. 100M IR illuminator on the Aries 6500 is located near the windage and elevation adjustments.

Power up the Aries scope in a dark environment. Find an object and examine it with IR off, then on. You could observe illumination difference. It is important to remember that the IR illumina- tor is simply an infra-red light source and like any light source it may loose its effectiveness over long distances.

To change the field of coverage from the IR illuminator, focus the beam by turning IR illumina- tor lens to slightly alter the beam width.

NOTE: The IR switches off automatically after the unit’s main power is off.
