OVERVIEW
At the core of the night vision binoculars Edge GS 1x20 (2.7x50) is the
unique combination of specially designed R-Contact optics and the CF-
Super Image Intensifier Tube, created specifically for each other such
that they will not work with any other system. The result of this
exclusive technological development is the highest edge-to-edge
resolution performance ever seen in a budget consumer NV
product.The binoculars are outfitted with new objective lenses that
minimize distortion on the edges of the field of view and increase
sharpness and contrast of the image. The soft rubber eyecups conceal
the light emission from the tube thus permitting a user to stay
unnoticed. The housing of metal and plastic ensures extra durability
and reliability during usage. The Edge GS 1x20 (2.7x50) have a IP44
degree of protection (IEC 60529), i.e. these devices are protected
against water and dust which expands the range of its usage.
The binoculars are equipped with an IR illuminator necessary for
normal observation in moonless cloudy conditions in total darkness.
The Edge GS 1x20 is equipped with a 1/4'' socket which allows it to be
fixed on the head mount (included for #75095).
The binoculars are fully self-contained and can work up to 50 hours on
twp AAA batteries at temperatures varying from -20 ºC to + 40 ºC.
Your Edge GS 1x20 (2.7x50) is ideal for professional and amateur
use, including:
Night observation in natural environment
Search and rescue
Night orienteering
Repair and maintenance of equipment
Hunting
PECULIARITIES OF USE
Your night vision binocular is designed to provide many years of
reliable service.
To ensure high performance you should adhere to the following rules
Do not direct binocular in the “on” position at intense sources of light,
such as car's headlights or burning fire. This may disable the unit for an
unknown length of time or cause a dark spot in the center of the field of
view. Do not turn the unit on in daylight without the protective caps
firmly secured over the objective lenses, as this may damage the unit.
Never leave the binocular in the “on” position over an extended
length of time in an area with a light level exceeding 1-10 lux
(twilight - 10 lux, deep twilight - 1 lux). Please keep the protective
caps on the objective lenses under greater light level.
Your binocular was designed to be self-contained. Do not open the
body of the unit or otherwise attempt to service this device. If such
need arises return the binocular for replacement or repair.
Protect the device from exposure to direct sunlight and extreme
temperatures.
Avoid dropping or otherwise shocking the binocular. The device
incorporates a sophisticated optical system which could be
damaged in extreme cases of misuse.
Clean optical parts (lenses) with professional lens cleaning
supplies designed for use with multicoated optics.
Damage to this device from failure to observe these warnings may void the
device's warranty!
BATTERY INSTALLATION
Your binocular runs on a two AAA batteries. To install them, turn the
knob of the battery cover 90° counterclockwise, remove the cover and
install two AA batteries as indicated. Close the cover and lock.
USE AND TESTING
Make sure the two AAА batteries have been installed according to the
instructions found in the battery installation section of this manual.
Enter a dark area before turning on the
binocular. Remove the objective caps.
Activate the device by pushing the “ON” (2) button. The green LED
indicator (3) lights up.
You can test your binocular in a light area without removing the
protective caps. This will not damage your unit.
If the subject to be viewed is in a completely dark area, including
lowlight shadow areas; activate the infrared illuminator (4) by
pushing the “IR” button (5). The LED indicator will change its color
from green to red. To adjust the IR power, rotate the controller (6).
Direct the turned on binocular at an object at a distance of around 10-
100 meters. Rotating the eyepieces (7), focus on the tube's screen -
rough surface or tiny dark dots are visible. Rotate the objective lenses
(1) until the image quality is optimal. Re-focus the eyepieces, if
necessary. After this adjustment you may not rotate the eyepieces
irrespective of the distance and objective lenses.
Direct your binocular at an object to be viewed and adjust the final
focus by rotating the objective lens focusing ring until the image is
optimal. When screwing the objective lenses into the housing, it
focuses on farther objects, when screwing out - on closer ones.
The Edge 1x20 Goggles are intended for joint use with the head
mount (included in the package of #75095). To do this, affix the
binocular to the head mount by means of the screw of the adapter
(see picture) and adjust the device as described above. Additional
information on the operation of the head mount is enclosed with its
user manual.
When you are finished using your binocular place the caps back onto
the objective lenses and turn off the unit by pushing the “ON” (2)
button, the LED indicator will go out. Put the binocular into the carrying
case.
CAUTION!
Your binocular can be used in extreme cold. However, when the unit is
brought back into a warm environment, you must wait approximately 2-3
hours before using the unit again. Failure to do so may result in damage
as a result of condensation accumulating on the internal circuitry of the
unit.
MAINTENANCE
Clean the lens with professional lens cleaning supplies intended for
use with multicoated optics.
Blow any dust or dirt off the lenses using dry, compressed
air. Clean the unit housing with a soft, clean cloth.
STORAGE
During long-time storage please remove the batteries to prevent possible
leakage. The battery cover must be fully screwed during long-time
storage.
TROUBLESHOOTING
The scope will not turn on.
Check that the batteries are installed properly. Install the batteries according
to the (+) and (-) polarity, ensuring that the markings on the battery and
battery compartment correspond with one another. Check the battery
contacts to ensure they are clean and free of corrosion; if necessary, clean
the contacts with rubbing alcohol. Also check that the cap of the battery
department is fully closed, otherwise the device will not operate. If
necessary, replace the batteries as they may be depleted. Also be sure that
the “ON” button has been pushed and the green LED is on.
Distinct black dots appear on the screen.
These dots are cosmetic blemishes resulting from tube production
processes and do not interfere with the reliability or performance of the
scope and are not a defect.
The image “snows”.
Image may “snow” in a dark environment during 30-60 seconds after
the device is activated; this effect disappears soon. Image may slightly
“snow” if the device was previously operated without the lens caps at a
high level of luminance. Image may also “snow” if the device is
operated in complete darkness with the IR illuminator off.
The image is not focused.
Adjust the focus of the eyepieces and the objectives (see “Use and
Testing” section). Check that the lenses are not foggy or dusty; if they are,
carefully clean the external surfaces of lenses with a soft cotton fabric.
Replace the batteries if the total battery charge is less than 2.2V.
When the unit is brought into a warm environment from a cold one,
condensation may appear on the internal lenses; you must wait two
hours before using the unit.
Visibility decreases or disappears.
Bright light sources, such as headlights, may cause visibility to
decrease or disappear and the image to flicker. Turn the power off and
turn the binocular away from the light source; visibility will restore itself
immediately.
