APPLICATION
The Night vision Monocular is a complex opticoelectronic system for individual use. The
device consists of the objective lens assembly, eyepiece and the body. The body contains
a 1st (MO-41) or 2nd Gen. + (MO-42) image intensifier tube assembly with an integrated
high voltage power source and the three volt battery housing. When installing the battery one
should keep in mind that the polarity of the battery should coincide with the diagram on the
body next to the battery housing cap.
Objective lens protective cover is intended to protect the objective lens from dust and
scratches. It will also act as a daylight filter, allowing you to test the scope in daylight or other
bright light situations. The pin-hole in the center of the protective cover allows the user to
check the operation ability of the device in daylight conditions.
NOTE: Do not test the scope in daylight conditions even with the daylight filter/lens cap
on for more than ten (10) minutes.
SMART DIGITAL TECHNOLOGY
Smart Total Darkness Technology finally provides the user total control in the hi-tech industry
of Night Vision. The Smart Series Night Vision scopes have been designed according to the
latest computer technology.
Onboard computer systems identif y the users intention of looking through the scope. When
the scope is brought to the user’s eye, the scope automatically turn on. When removed from
the eye the scope turns off (you must engage the proximity sensor for this feature to work).
The user will never have to worry about turning his or her scope on or off. Smart series scopes
automatically sense when they are no longer used and will shut off and enter their sleep mode.
All the controls and buttons are digital. Even if your batteries are low, don’t worry the smart
series will let you know. Our MO- 4 scope has a 3-button digital control panel that allows the
user to easily engage the main power, Infra-red illuminator and the proximity sensor. Color
coded LEDs let you know the mode of operation you are using.
1. ON/ OFF indicator light – when power is ON the LED is green.
2. When the proximity sensor is activated the LED will change to red.
3. When IR is ON the IR LED is orange.
NOTE, FOR MO- 41: You may notice a persistent green glow for up to five (5) minutes after you
have turned the MO-41 off. This is normal for the 1st Gen. light intensifier tube.
FOCUSING
To focus the MO-4 first you will need to adjust the diopter. Simply turn the diopter clockwise
until it stops. Then, while looking through the diopter at a subject, slowly turn the diopter back
counter clockwise until the grain in the image is sharp.
NOTE: We suggest that you focus the diopter during daylight with the filter on.
Next. When you are in 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 front lens should be readjusted as you view objects at different distances.
INFRA-RED (IR) ILLUMINATION
Infra-red illuminators, or IR illuminators, are common in night vision. The IR light greatly
enhances the performance of the MO-4 while remaining almost totally invisible to the naked eye.
The IR illuminator on the MO-4 is located to the side of the battery compartment.
To turn the IR on push the IR button and you will see an orange indicator light come on. It is
impor tant to remember that the IR illuminator is simply an infra red light source, and like any
light source it may loose its effectiveness over a great distance.
