APPLICATION
ATN Mars Night Vision Weapon scopes - the world’s largest line of professional night vision
sights – has a new flagship – the ATN MARS X4 and ATN MARS X6. Inspired by ATN’s quest
for technical perfection and named after the Roman God of War, the ATN MARS NV riflescopes represent the absolute latest in the world of night vision equipment. Similar to all ATN
Aries scopes the ATN MARS features only the purest grades of heavy glass and computeraided optical designs to create multi-element, high-speed, multi-coated lenses for ultra-fast
light transmission and resolution beyond current military standards. All optical lenses on the
MARS scopes are individually fitted and calibrated to achieve optimum performance.

MOUNTING
The scope can be mounted onto the Weaver rail using optional Weaver mount, or
A.R.M.S.#10 or A.R.M.S.#19 ACOG mount.
1. Mount the sco pe o nto the Weaver mount or A.R .M.S.#10 or A.R.M.S.#19 ACOG with 2
mounting screws.
2. Slightly loosen the fixin g sc rews or levers of mount.
3. Place the scope on the weaver rail of the firearm.
4. Tighten the fixing screws or levers of mount.
NOTE: Fixing screws may need to be tightened after continuous shooting.
CONTROL
To turn the device on, rotate the Operation Switch from the OFF posi-
tion to the desired operation mode.
Operation Switch has following positions/modes:
OFF - the device is of f;
ON – th e device is on;
ST B - the device c an b e used with the Remote Contro l.
FOCUSING
To focus the scope you need to adjust the diopter first. Simply turn the diopter clockwise until it
stops. Then concentrate on any object and slowly turn the diopter back counter clockwise until
the grain in the image is sharp.
You sco pe has ability to focus eit her long range or short.
Focus the front lens by rotating the knob until the image and the grain
are both sharp. When you are in the low-light conditions and the daylight filter is off you may focus the front lens to receive a sharp image,
the diopter should not be adjusted.
NOTE: The f ront lens s ho u l d be read ju sted for vi ewing objects at d if ferent
distances.
AUTOMATIC BRIGHTNESS CONTROL SYSTEM
The device has a built in Automatic brightness control. This control automatically adjusts the
brightness of Image Intensifier Tube to the optimal level.
PROTECTIVE SYSTEM
The automatic highlight protective system analyzes light exposure with the sensor . If the level of light exposure exceeds allowable the red indicator will lights on. If high light exposure is
kept more than 10 seconds t he d evi ce auto mat ically will off.
NOTE: The automatic highlight protective system and automatic brightness control system do not protect a sight from d amage
by bright light sources (a fire, headlights of the automobile, lanterns, etc.). Do not point the device at a bright light source.
IR ILLUMINATION
Infra-red (IR) Illuminators are common for night vision technology. The IR light greatly
enha n c es the p er formanc e of yo u r scope, while r emainin g almost totall y invi s i ble to t he nak ed
eye. In dark environment, power up the scope. Now, find a scene and examine it without the
IR on then with IR powered up. Note the difference in illumination. 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 ef fectiveness over a great distan ce.
To fix the IR illuminator to the riflescope use the picatinny rail of the scope.

The IR illuminator control buttons are located on its side. To switch the Digital IR illuminator
on/off press “+” and “-” buttons simultaneously. When the IR illuminator is switched on you can
see the green LED lit. By pushing the buttons “+” and “-” you may adjust the IR brightness.
The IR beam is focusable to change the field of coverage. To change the beam width slightly
turn the IR lens.
You could change the IR control panel fitting your needs. The wrench included into the set
should be used for weakening the fixing nut located on the IR. Rotate the IR placing at in the
most conveni ent position. Tighten the nut with the wrench to fix the new posit ion.
REMOTE CONTROL
Attach the Remote Control cable to connector on the bottom of
the body of device. Place the Remote Control on the weapon,
suiting your shooting style best and grip. Fix the Remote Control
in this position with a montage strap.
To turn the scope on push the button of remote control. Keep
pressed button when observing scene. The scope is turned off
immediately after releasing remote control button.
LOW BATTERY IND ICATOR
When red LED on left side of the field of view starts blinking it is time to change your battery.
RETICLE
Your scope has an Electronic reticle with two color and 5 degrees of brightnes of illumination
for each co l or. The k n o b of b r ightne s ajust m ent re ticle a n d color select i s locat ed on t h e top o f
the boby of the sc ope. On the knob there are mar king with color of illumination of reticle.
Mil dot reticle is a reliable means of determining distances to targets, establishing leads for
moving targets, and for alternate aiming points for windage and elevation holds.
Dots are spaced in one mil (milliradian) increments on the crosshair. A distance to target can
be calculated using the mil formula, that is based on the size of the object being targeted.
Look through the scope, and bracket the object between dots.
The space between dot centers subtends one milliradian(mil). One mil. subtends 3.6 inches
at 100 yards or 36 inches at 1,000 yards. To use this system effectively you must know the size
of the tar get.
By measuring the height or width of a known (or approximately known target size) in milradians using the reticles, the target distance can be calculated as follows.
R = range in meters, H = target size in meters, M = mil-radians of the image size:
R = 10 0 0 * H / M
Military shooters are trained to know that the common
male torso is 39 inches from crotch to top
of head. This
is very close to exactly one meter.
This formula then becomes R = 1000 / M for a one
meter target size.
All of the following formulae are equivalent to the
one above for estimating range.

R = range in meters, H = target size in inches,
M = mil -radians of the image:
R = 25.4 * H / M
R = range in yards, H = target size in inches,
M = mil -radians of the image:
R = 27.78 * H / M
R = range in yards, H = target size in feet,
M = mil -radians of the image:
R=333.3 * H / M
WINDAGE AND ELEVATION
The vertical and horizontal adjustments for the scope can be
achieved by turning the elevation and windage adjustment mecha-
nisms (remove dust caps first). Each click equals 1/4 inch at 100
yards (Mars x4) or 1/6 inch at 100 yards (Mars x6) . When reaching
the max imum range of r otation do not use force.
WARNINGS AND CAUTIONS
• Always remember to turn off the scope when it is not in use. If you do not plan on using your
scope for a period of more than 10 days, you should remove the batteries.
• Keep lens cap on when not in use.
• Avoid contact with dust, steam, and gas.
• T he s cope are not harmful to the user or the environ ment.
• Do not disassemble: it will void yo ur warr anty.
• Evaluate the scopes function by looking through it in a lit environment with the lens cap put
on. Never use in daylight without the daylight filter lens cap on. Do not surpass ten minutes
of testing.
• N ever p oint the scope at a bright light source.
• Adverse atmospheric conditions such as fog, smog, or haze and a lack of ambient light
(moon or starlight) may diminish the effective viewing distance. All technical data for this unit
wa s compiled in a controlled environment.
• If you use the rubber eyecaps for a long period of time, you may suffer skin inflammation. If
you develop any symptoms, consult a doctor immediately.
