MANUAL
Physically, the night-vision goggles are made in the form of two identical electro-optical channels – monocular (3) and monocular (4) – which are mechanically linked with each other with the aid of guide (1) and guide (2). Each of the monocular pair incorporates lens (5), eyepiece (6), image-intensifier tube (7) and barrel (8).
RH side monocular (3) that allows the pilot to carry out observation with the right eye is rigidly fastened to guide (2), while LH side monocular (4) that permits observation with the left eye is of a movable design and may be displaced to adjust the eyepieces of the night-vision goggles to suit the pilot’s eyes.
To adjust the night-vision goggles interpupilary distance, depress button (10) and displace monocular (4) along guide (2) to set it to the desired position. These done, release the button to fix monocular (4) in the selected position.
Batteries (11) are installed inside guide (2) and closed with cap- switch (12).
The night-vision goggles are attached to the helmet with the aid of the guides of fixing assembly (13) and those of the helmet mount. The fixing assembly is retained in the fixed position in the helmet mount by means of retainer (14).
The transfer of the night-vision goggles from the stowed position to the operating one, in which they are fitted on the helmet, is accomplished by depressing button (15) with the left hand and lowering the goggles until they are retained in the locked position. The fixing assembly is provided with a connector, for connecting the mating connector plug of cable (16), intended to feed power to the night-vision goggles via the voltage converter.
Upon termination of use, the night-vision goggles are easily removed complete with cable (16) from the mount of the helmet by pressing down lever (17).
