APPLICATION
The Aries MK6600/6650/7700/7750/8700/8750 night vision weapon scope is a complex computerized system for the observation of objects at low light levels. Containing an onboard computer these
scopes are some of the most advanced night vision weapon scopes in the world.
The Aries MK6600/6650/7700 /7750/8700 /8750 consists of the objective lens assembly, ocular
lens assembly and the body. The body contains the image intensifier tube assembly with the integrated high voltage power source. The body also houses the electronics for the reticle, the computer
console for the “Smart Technology” as well as the battery compartment. The 100M infra-red illuminator is located on the top of the unit.
The objective lens protective cover (not shown) is designed to protect the lens from scratches and
abrasions. This cover also protects the image intensifier tube from exposure to daylight or other
bright light sources. The protective cover acts as a daylight filter, note the pinhole in the center of
the lens cap.
MASTER POWER SWITCH
The Master ON/OFF switch is to be found on top of
MK6600/ 6650/7700/7750/ 8700/8750. Once the
scope’s master power is switched on you can adjust
the scope using the buttons on the control box.
CONTROL PANEL
The control box with the cluster of three buttons on it can be found on the left side of the Aries
MK6600/6650/7700/7750/8700/8750. ”SL” button acts as a three-way selection toggle. By pressing it once you will see one of three colored diodes located on the rear side of the control box light
up. Make sure to keep both eyes open; your right eye is expected to aim through the scope so that
your left eye perceives the changes on the rear side of the control box. “+” and “-” buttons are used
to correspondingly increase or decrease adjustments for a chosen function.
The three colored led diodes represent the scope function mode. “B” stands for brightness of the
light intensifier tube, “R”- for reticle brightness, and “I”- for IR illuminator brightness.

INFRA-RED ILLUMINATION
By pressing “SL” button three times you can switch to Red diode
“I”. Red diode represents 100M infra-red illuminator’s bright-
ness adjustment mode. Adjustments can be easily observed
through the Aries scope 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 MK6600/6650/7700/7750/8700/8750 while remaining
almost totally invisible to the unaided eye.
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 illuminator
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 illuminator lens to slightly alter the beam
width.
RETICLE BRIGHTNESS ADJUSTMENT
By pressing the SL button twice you switch to a yellow “R”
diode next to the green one. The yellow diode represents the
reticle’s brightness. Adjustments could be easily seen if you look
through the Aries MK6600/ 6650/7700/7750 /8700/8750 while
pressing “ +” /” -” adjustment buttons.
To adjust the brightness of the reticle or to turn it off use the control box buttons located on the side of the unit. Press and hold “+
“or” -” adjustment buttons while the yellow diode is on and see
brightness changes looking through the scope. After appropriate
level of brightness has been set release the button.
LIGHT INTENSIFIER TUBE BRIGHTNESS ADJUSTMENT
The green led “B” represents the light intensifier tube power
ratio. Once this is lit you can adjust the brightness of the light
intensifier with the “+” and “-” adjustment buttons.
Green LED “B”
Yellow LED “R”
Red LED “I”
