I can't see any object in my night vision monoscope. The batteries are new.The indicator IR and ON are illuminated when switch to on.Please advice. Thank you very much. Respectfully yours, Remigio Lopez

Hello, Is there two switches on the NV monocular? If so, one is for the IR illuminator and other is for turn the scope off/on. Also, does each switch have a LED associated with it? Green for turning on the monocular and red LED when the IR illuminator is on. Now the IR switch is a momentary switch once you push on the button it turn on IR. If you release the IR button it turns off the IR..


What do you mean by green lightening storm in the view finder? Generation 1 image intensifier tubes when ignited by 15KV it will glow green in the tube. If you look through the eye pieces there will be a green glow with fluctuating intensity as bright light impact the plate in the image tube. GB...stewbison

Hello, You should have two switches, one for on/off and the other for IR intensifier (red). There should be or not two LED one green to indicate on/off--no green LED it off, if the green LED glows green it on. The same with IR luminator, red is glowing the IR is on, if not glowing red, it off.

Make sure you have new batteries and make sure that the polaity is correct---positive +,
negative -.

Push the on button, if you push the right button the green LED will glow, then push IR button. Put you hand in front of the monocular and see if there is a red glow on the palm of you hand, if there is then the IR is on. Never look into the IR lens. Now you can look through the eye piece.

Now, if there no green tent inside of the monocular then there are other problems with you NV devise.

Never, and I mean NEVER look at bright light at night or in the daylight. This will destroy the image tube. That is one reason why they are call night vision....Only for viewing in the dark. stewbison

It a good possible that ITT uses 3 volt CR123A. Maybe two of them or 2 double "AA's" stewbison

OK, is the IR luminator working with a red glow. Don't look at it. Some these IR luminator have a adjustable lens that one can screw out or screw it in. If the IR isn't igniting then the LED could be bad , broken wire, or bad switch. stewbison

Hello, let do this. IR illuminator has a montary switch, that is when you push it comes on, and when you release it the IR goes off and it has a red LED to indicate the IR illuminator is being activated.

When you turn you binocular on there will be a green LED activated. This switch is DTSA---double throw sing activated. That is, one throw of the switch it turns on the binocular, the throw will turn off the binocular.

Also within the control panel there is timing circuit to keep the IR illumniator on for ten second the shuts off. Make sure you have the right switches etc. Let me know, then we can brain storm on this matter. stewbison

It needs a new IR illuminator bulb or LED...stewbison

when you said it turns completely off? i have a simular device and it only illuminates faintly, but i have a IR button that lites it up. otherwise unit is in a stand by, IR does the illuminateing of view. its like compareing a quartar-moon to a full-moon. but you could have a switch that is broke. the switch is on a timer to shut off to save battery

Go to; www.rugift.com , they are the dealer for these russian NV. It may be that they can repair it or give you clues as to how to fix the problem.

Good luck. :)

They do stay on for a while after switch, that is OK. Dim and out of focus may indicate that the output voltage is low. If replacing the battery does not fix it, then the problem may be in the power supply circuit.

Go to; www.rugift.com they sell these russian NV. They can probably tell you what you need to know.
Good luck. :)
