Yukon Advanced Optics 24101, 24102 User Manual

OVERVIEW

The Exelon night vision monocular with a super tube is a professional device with enhanced image
quality throughout the whole field of view. A unique optical arrangement of the objective, coupled with
a new, specially designed tube of a new type, has contributed to the high resolution and absence of
distortion on the whole field of view. This unit operates both in the passive mode (without man-made
sources of light) and in the active mode (with the IR illuminator on). The Exelon is designed for
outdoor observation, guarding and terrain orientation within a wide range of natural night light - from
twilight to utter darkness.
The Exelon has a built-in IR-illuminator intended for use in moonless cloudy conditions in total
darkness.
The unit is equipped with two 1/4 inch sockets which allow it to be fixed on the headmount and used
as goggles. Its surface is rugged for extreme field conditions. However, damage may occur if the unit is
dropped. The Exelon unit is fully self-contained and can work up to 50 hours on one CR123A battery
at temperatures from -30 °C~+ 40 °C.

Your Exelon is ideal for professional and amateur use, including:

• Night observation in natural environment

• Search and rescue

• Boating

• Repair and maintenance of equipment

PECULIARITIES OF USE

Your night vision device Exelon is designed to provide many years of reliable service.
To ensure high performance you should adhere to the following rules:

• Do not direct a unit 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 cap
firmly secured over the objective lens, as this may damage the unit.

• Any such damage may void the warranty.

• Never leave the unit in the “on” position over an extended length of time in an area with a light

level exceeding 1-10 lux (twilight - 10lux, deep twilight - 1 lux). Please keep the protective cap
on the objective under greater light level.

• Your Exelon was designed to be self-contained. Do not open the body of the scope or

otherwise attempt to service this device. If such need arises return the unit for replacement or
repair.

• Protect the device from exposure to direct sunlight and extreme temperatures.

• Avoid dropping or otherwise shocking the unit. 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!
