SAFETY SUMMARY

CAUTIONS

• The ATN PVS-7 is a precision optical instrument and should be

handled carefully to prevent its damage.

• Do not scratch the external lens surfaces or touch them with your

fingers.

• To protect the image intensifier, keep the lens cap on the objec-

tive lens on when the device is not in use or when it is checked out

in daylight conditions.

• The IR illuminator produces a light that is invisible to a naked

eye for use in conditions of extreme darkness. However, this IR

light can be detected by somebody else who use a night vision

device.

• If you use the rubber eyecups for a long time period, you may

suffer from skin inflammation. If you find any symptoms, consult a

doctor immediately.

NOTES

• Do not test the device in daylight conditions even with the day-

light filter/lens cap on for more than ten (10) minutes.

• To protect the device from damage do not direct it to the bright

light sources (a fire, headlights of the automobile, lanterns, etc.).

• The purpose of the built-in IR illuminator is to view at close dis-

tances up to 3 meters when additional illumination is needed.

EQUIPMENT LIMITATIONS

To avoid physical and equipment damage when using the ATN

PVS-7, carefully read and understand the following equipment

limitations.

• The equipment requires some night light (moonlight, starlight,

etc.) to operate. The level of equipment performance depends

upon the level of light.

• Night light reduces by passing through the clouds, while operat-

ing under trees, at building shadows, etc.

• The equipment is less effective when viewing into shadows and

other darkened areas.

• The equipment is less effective when viewing through the rain,

fog, sleet, snow or smoke.

• The equipment will not “see” through the dense smoke.

1-3 GLOSSARY

BLACK SPOTS. These arc cosmetic blemishes in the image in-

tensifier of the PVS-7 or dirt or debris between the lenses.

BRIGHT SPOTS. These can be defects in the image area pro-

duced by the PVS-7 . This condition is caused by a flaw in the film

on the micro-channel plate. A bright spot is a small, non-uniform,

bright area that may flicker or appear constant. Bright spots usu-

ally go away when the light is blocked out and arc cosmetic blem-

ishes that are signal induced.

BROWPADS. Three hook-and-pile browpads are provided to ad-

just the head mount to fit different head sizes. The thin brow pad

(fits on a large head) comes attached to the head mount and the

thick or medium (fits on a smaller head) brow pads are stored in

the carrying case.
