Description

Accolade 2 LRF Prothermal binoculars are based on an IR sensor

(uncooled microbolometer) and are designed for comfortable viewing with

both eyes.

Accolade 2 LRF Pro scopes accommodate day and nighttime observations.

Accolade 2 LRF Pro Binoculars provide exceptional image quality even in

adverse weather conditions (fog, smog, rain) and beyond obstacles like

branches, tall grass, dense foliage, etc. known to hinder target detection.

Accolade 2 LRF Pro devices do not require an external light source and

are not affected by bright light exposure.

These binoculars are equipped with a precise built-in laser rangefinger

capable of measuring distances up to 1000 m accurately (± 1 m).

Accolade 2 LRF Pro Thermal Imaging Binoculars are perfectly suited for

night hunting, observation, trail orientation, identifying hazards, rescue

operations, etc. 

Safety Measures

Only use the charger supplied with the Battery Pack. The use of any

other charger may irreparably damage the Battery Pack or the charger

and may cause fire.

During long-term storage, the Battery Pack should be partially charged –

the charge level should be between 50% and 80%.

Do not charge the Battery Pack immediately after bringing it from a cold

environment to a warm one. Wait for 30-40 minutes for the Battery Pack

to get warm.

Charge the Battery Pack at a temperature from 0° C to +45° C (32° F to

+113° F), otherwise the battery life will decrease significantly.

Do not leave the Battery Pack unattended while charging.

Never use a modified or damaged charger.

Do not leave the Battery Pack with a charger connected to the power

adapter after charging is complete.

Do not expose the Battery Pack to high temperatures or an open flame.

Do not submerge the Battery Pack in water.

Do not connect an external device with a current consumption that

exceeds permitted levels.

The Battery Pack is short circuit protected; however, any situation that

may cause short-circuiting should be avoided.

Do not dismantle or deform the Battery Pack.

Do not drop or hit the Battery Pack.

When using the Battery Pack at sub-zero (sub 32°F) temperatures the

battery capacity decreases. This is normal and is not a defect.

Do not use the Battery Pack at temperatures above those shown in the

table – this may decrease battery life.

Keep the Battery Pack out of the reach of children.

Battery Charging

Accolade 2 LRFProthermal imaging binoculars are supplied with a

rechargeable Li-Ion Battery Pack IPS7 which allows operation for up to 9

hours. Please remember to charge the Battery Pack before first use.



Charging

Step 1. Install the battery into the charger

Lift the lever (C) of the charger.

Remove the protective cover from the Battery Pack.

Install the Battery Pack into the charger.

Click the lever (C).

Step 2. Сheck the current battery level

Upon installation, a green LED indicator (D) on the charger will start to

glow and begin flashing:

- once if the battery charge ranges from 0% to 50%;

- twice if the battery charge ranges from 51% to 75%;

- three times if the battery charge ranges from 76% to 100%;

If the indicator lights green continuously, the battery is fully charged.

You can remove the battery from the charger by lifting the lever (С).

If the indicator of the charger lights red continuously upon battery

installation, probably the battery's charge level is lower than acceptable

(the battery has been long in deep discharge). Keep the battery in the

charger for a long time (up to several hours), remove and re-insert it.

If the indicator starts blinking green, the battery is good.

If the indicator keeps lighting red, the battery defective. Do not use

the battery!

The LED indicator (D) will display the battery charge status:

LED Indicator Battery Charge Status

Battery is empty

Image not found or type unknown

Battery is full

Step 3. Сonnect the charger to the mains supply

Connect the Micro-USB plug of the USB cable to the port(E) of the

charger.

Connect the Micro-USB plug to the power adapter.

Insert the plug of the power adapter to the 100-240 V socket.

Battery Installation

Lift the lever (10).

Install the battery (9) all the way into the dedicated slot on the device

housing so that element F appears from below.

Fix the battery by clicking the lever (10).

External Power Supply

Open the lens cover (13).

Turn the device on with a short press of the ON/OFF (1) button.

Adjust the interpupillary distance with the rings (6) by moving the

eyepieces farther or closer to each other.

To obtain a crisp image of the icons on the display, rotate the diopter

adjustment ring (7). Once adjusted, there is no need to rotate the

diopter adjustment ring for distance or any other conditions.

To focus on the object being observed rotate the lens focusing ring (8).

automatic (A) in the main menu (enter the menu by long pressing the

MENU (3) button).

Calibrate the image with a short press of theON/OFF (1) button (when

calibration mode(SA) or (M) has been selected). Close the lens cap

before manual calibration.

After use, press and hold down the ON/OFF (1) button to turn the

device off.

Warning!Never point the lens at intensive energy sources such as laser

radiation emitting devices or the sun. It can damage electronic components

in the device. The warranty does not cover damage arising from failure to

comply with operating instructions.

Warning!The radiator cooling system (12) becomes warm during

operation: this is normal and allows an increase in the sensitivity of the

device.

Show device diagram



The binoculars are equipped with a built-in rangefinder (17), allowing you to

measure distance to objects up to 1000m away.

How the rangefinder works:

Turn on the device, set up image according to section

and Image Setting

Press the UP (2) or LRF (21) button on remote control - rangefinding

reticle appears; in the top right corner of the display dashes of distance

values with unit of measurement appear, i.e. the rangefinder enters the

stand-by mode.

If PiP mode is activated, the PiP window remains active upon activation

of the rangefinder.

Point the rangefinding reticle at an object and press the UP (2)button.

In the top right corner of the display you will see distance in meters (or

yards - depending on settings).

Note: if the rangefinder is idle longer than for 4 seconds, it turns off

automatically.

Operation in SCAN mode:

To measure distance in scanning mode, hold down the UP (2) or LRF

button on remote control for longer then two seconds. Measurement

readings will be changing in real time as you point the binoculars at

different objects. Message SCAN appears in the top right corner.

To exit SCAN mode, press UP (2) or LRF (21)button again.

If measurement fails, dashes will appear on the display.

Additional Information:

Accuracy of measurement and maximum range depend on the reflection

ratio of the target surface, the angle at which the emitting beam falls on

the target surface and environmental conditions. Reflectivity is also

affected by surface texture, color, size and shape of the target. A shiny

or brightly colored surface is normally more reflective than a dark

surface.

Measuring range to a small sized target is more difficult than to a large

sized target.

Accuracy of measurement can also be affected by light conditions, fog,

conditions or when ranging towards the sun.
