MOUNTING SYSTEM

The ATN Night Vision Riflescopes Mounting System allows to change the position of
the riflescope flexibly on the weapon in relation to a shooter in combination with the
fixed positions already available on the weaver rail. For this purpose in the base of
the mounting bracket there is a rail with a fixing projection. There are two grooves in the
mounting bracket for mounting this rail. Besides it is possible to change the position of
the riflescope additionally by 1/3 of inch. For doing this one needs to about-face the rail.
To change the position of the riflescope on the weaver rail additionally follow the steps
mentioned below:

1. Unscrew the t wo s crews, which at tach the rail to the m ounting bracket.

2. Take the rail out of t he groove.

3. About-face the ra il in case of neces sity.

4. Place t he rail into another groove.

5. Fi x t he rail with the t wo screws.

NOTE: If the rail does not come out easily, tighten one of the
removed screws into the threaded aperture in the middle of the
fixing projection of the rail. Rotate this screw, which will in turn
push the rai l out from the groove.

DIGITAL CONTROL

The ATN Trident Pro has a simpl e an d e a sy to op e r ate on e -but ton control and adjust m ent.

the body of device. Place the Remote Control on the weapon,
suiting your shooting style best and grip. Fix the Remote Con­trol in this positio n w i th a m ontage strap.

FOCUSING

To focus your riflescope you will need to adjust the diopter first thing. Simply turn the diopter clock­wise until it stops. Then, while looking through the diopter at a subject, slowly turn the diopter back
counter clock wise until the grai n i n t h e i m ag e is sharp.

NOTE: We su ggest that you focus the diopter during daylight with the c ap on.

OPERATION EXTENDIBILITY

There are three detachable Picatinny rails on the body of the
scope for additional lighting, laser and other mission critical
tools. The rails fix with two screws as shown on the figure.

IR ILLUMINATION

Infra-red (IR) Illuminators are common for night vision technology. The IR light greatly enhances the
performance of your ATN Trident Pro scope, while remaining almost totally invisible to the naked
eye. In dark environment, power up the ATN Trident Pr o. 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

The IR beam is focusable to change the field of coverage. To change the beam width slightly turn
the IR l e ns.

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 convenient
position. Tig h te n t h e n u t w i th the wrench to fix the new positio n .

WINDAGE AND ELEVATION

The vertical and horizontal adjustments for the ATN Trident Pro
can be achieved by turning the elevation and windage adjust­ment mechanisms (remove dust caps first). Each click equals
1/2 inch at 100 yards. When reaching the maximum range of
rotation do not use force.
