• The equipment is less effective when operated in shadows and other conditions where there is very little to no ambient light.
• The equipment is less effective when operated in smoke, dust, rain, fog, sleet, or snow.
• The equipment cannot "see" through dense smoke.

1 GENERAL INFORMATION

1.1 SYSTEM DESCRIPTION

The AGM FoxBat-LE night vision bi-ocular is the perfect tool for mid-range and long-range observation. The FoxBat-LE is compatible with a range of professional high-quality objective lenses to match all users' requirements currently available in three configurations - 6x, 7x, and 10x magnification.

The FoxBat-LE is a professional night vision device favored by law enforcement and military units due to its unmatched performance, even in extreme temperatures and challenging weather conditions such as rain or excessive humidity. The device can be outfitted with either a Gen 2+ or Gen 3 high-performance image intensifier tube (IIT), which can be repaired or upgraded easily. The bright light shut-off feature ensures that the high-quality photocathode tube is protected. The FoxBat-LE is also equipped with Automatic Brightness Control (ABC), which adjusts the image brightness automatically, providing the highest possible image quality even in changing light conditions. FoxBat-LE is supplied with two AA batteries and its operating time is up to 40 hours of continuous use.

Three FOXBAT-LE10 optical cameras with visible lens and port fittings (no text or symbols on the devices themselves)

FIGURE 1-1. FOXBAT-LE NIGHT VISION BI-OCULARS LINE

The FoxBat-LE includes mechanical adjustments to accommodate physical differences between individual users. Functional features include the power switch, interpupillary adjustment, diopter adjustment, and objective lens focus.

1.2.2 OPTICAL FUNCTIONS

The optical functions include an objective lens, image intensifier, a collimator lens, and two eyepieces. The objective lens collects light reflected from the moon, stars, or other ambient light in the environment, and inverts and focuses an image of the scene onto the image intensifier. The image intensifier converts the captured light into a visible image, re-inverting it so that can be viewed though eyepiece lens.

1.2.3 ELECTRICAL FUNCTIONS

A. Power Source. The electronic circuit is powered by replaceable batteries; you have the option of using either a 3.0 Volt Lithium battery (BA-5567/U) or two AA 1.5 Volt Alkaline batteries (BA-305S/U). The Sioux850 detachable long-range infrared (IR) illuminator is powered by a separate 18650 rechargeable battery.

B. Function Switch. Power from the batteries is supplied to the components through the function switch as follows:

RESET/OFF Position. With the switch in the OFF position, the circuit will not supply energy to the image intensifier or the IR illuminator. You can also turn the switch to this position to reset your device after automatic shut-off or bright light cutoff.

ON Position. Energy is drawn from the battery compartment to power the bi-ocular. When the voltage drops to 2.4 VDC, a low battery indicator will begin to blink on the right side of the eyepiece, indicating approximately 30 minutes of remaining power.

IR/PULL Position. Energy is drawn from the battery compartment to power the bi-ocular and built-in IR light source, and a steady red indicator light will appear in the left side region of the eyepiece. The IR can be activated momentarily by turning the switch ON without pulling the knob.

C. Bright Light Cutoff. The bi-ocular will automatically shut off after 70 ( ±30 ) seconds of operation in daylight or bright room light. Individual bright lights (headlights, flashlights, or other concentrated light sources) will not activate this function, unless the high light detector on the front of the bi-ocular is pointed directly at the light source. To turn the bi-ocular back on in the event that this function is triggered, flip the switch to RESET/OFF and then back to ON again.

1.3 STANDARD AND OPTIONAL EQUIPMENT
