APPLICATION

The PS-23 Night Vision goggles is one of the most versatile night vision devices available. This unit
can be handheld, head-mounted for hands free usage, it is camera/ camcorder adaptable, and can
be 3x binocular. The intergrated IR illuminator enhances the ability of the user to read maps and oper­ate in confined, zero light areas. The PS-23 is available with several image intensifier options to meet
a wide array of specification requirements.

The PS-23 night vision goggles is a complex opticoelectronic system for individual use. The device
consists of the objective lens assembly, eyepiece and the body. The body contains an image inten­sifier tubes assembly with an integrated high voltage power source and the battery housing.

Objective lens protective cover is intended to protect the objective lens from dust and scratches. It
also will act as a daylight filter, allowing you to test the scope in daylight or other bright light situa­tions. The pinhole 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.

OPERATION

• Take the goggles out of the case.

• Install the battery(3 Volt, CR123A) into the housing with the polarity order as shown on the scope.

protective lens cap on. You should see green glow in the eyepiece.

• Observe the scene and adjust the diopter for optimal image clarity.

• You may now enter a dark environment or simply shut the lights off in order to darken the room.
