APPLICATION

The PS -22 is attachment for daytime riflescopes with 1x-6x (2.5x-4x are optimal) magnification that
converting scope into a high quality, very accurate night vision weapon sight.

The PS-22 mounts in front of daytime scope. Re-zeroing of scope not required. PS-22 comes standard
with 7/8” weaver mount. There is also Adapter for ARMS quick release mount. Optional Ring Adapters
allows to mount unit onto the objective of the day scope (25...58mm diameter). The IR illuminator can be
mounted onto the optional Picatinny Rail.

The PS -22 utilizes a 2nd Gen.+ or 3rd Gen. Image Intensifier Tube. This ingenious setup allows the
shooter to go from day to night in less then 30 seconds without tools, without changes in eye relief and
remain zeroed all around the clock.

The PS-22 is a complex optical-electronic system. The device contains an image intensifier tube as­sembly with an integrated high voltage power source and the three volt battery housing.

Objective lens protective cover is intended to protect objective lens from dust, scratches and high-level
illumination. The pinhole in cover allows the user to check the operation ability of the device in highlight
conditions.

The device has a built in Automatic Brightness Control. This system automatically adjusts the bright­ness of Image Intensifier Tube to the optimal level.

The Automatic Highlight Protective System analyzes light exposure. If high light exposure is kept more
than 10 seconds the device automatically will off.

NOTE: The automatic highlight protective system and automatic brightness control system do not pro­tect a sight from damage by bright light sources (a fire, headlights of the automobile, lanterns, etc.). Do
not point the device at a bright light source.
