ApplicATion
Compact and lightweight, rugged (metal not plastic), and a top-notch performer the NVG-7 is
an exceptional choice for hands free usage.
The NVG-7 goggles have a built in IR for total darkness with indicator “ON” light within the FOV
and a flip-up headset.
The NVG-7 is available with a wide range of image intensifier options to meet a wide array of
specification requirements.
The NVG-7 night vision goggles is a complex opticoelectronic system for individual use. The
device consists of the objective lens assembly, eyepiece and the body. The body contains a
image intensifier tube assembly with an integrated high voltage power source and the battery
housing.
Objective lens protective cover (not shown) is intended to protect the objective lens from dust
and scratches. It also will act as a daylight filter, allowing you to test the scope in daylight or
other bright light situations. The pinhole in the center of the protective cover allows the user to
check the operation ability of the device in daylight conditions.
NOTE: Do not test the scope in daylight conditions even with the daylight filter/lens cap on for
more than ten (10) minutes.

operATion
• Take the monocular out of the case.
• Install the battery into the housing with the polarity order as shown on the scope. Battery
Type: 3 Volt Lithium, #CR123A .
• Press the button (short press - less than 1.5 sec.) to turn the unit on by the protective lens
cover still attached to the lens. Do not turn the unit on in the daytime without the protec
tive lens cap on. You should see green glow in the eyepiece.
• Observe the scene and adjust the diopter for optimal image clarity.
• You may now enter a dark environment or simply shut the lights off in order to darken the room.
• Next, remove the lens cap/daylight filter. Adjust the front lens for the distance of the focus.
You should not have to readjust the diopter.
• To turn the unit off, push the button again by short press (less than 1.5 sec.).
ocsing
To focus the NVG-7, first you will need to adjust the
diopter. Simply turn the diopter clockwise until it
stops. Then, while looking throught the diopter at an
object, slowly turn the diopter back counter clock-
wise until the grain in the image is sharp.
Diopter adjasting
NOTE: We suggest that you focus the diopter
during daylight with the filter on.
Next focus the front lens until the image and the
grain are both sharp. When you are in low-light con-
ditions and the daylight filter is off, you may focus
the front lens to receive sharp image, the diopter
should not be adjusted.
Lens focus
adjusting
NOTE: The front lens should be readjusted as you
view objects at different distances.
inrA-red illminATor
Infra-red illuminators, or IR illuminators, are common
to night vision. The IR light greatly enhances the
performance of the NVG-7 while remaining almost
totally invisible to the naked eye.
The NVG-7 goggles have a built in IR with indicator
“ON” light within the FOV. To turn the IR on, push
the button by long press (more than 1.5 sec.). It
is important to remember that the IR illuminator is
simply an infra red light source, and like any light
source, it may loose its effectiveness over a great
distance.
Built-in Infra-red
Illuminators
To turn the IR off, push the button again by long
press (more than 1.5 sec.).
NOTE: The IR will automatically turn off when the unit’s
power is turned off.
