Precautions  
6. TROUBLESHOOTING  
The device does not work.  
Check that the battery is installed properly.  
Check the charge of the batteries. Replace them if they are weak.  
NVS 7 is a sophisticated precise optical instrument equipped  
with electronics.  
Therefore, it should be handled with due care.  
Try to avoid strong heat, direct sunlight, impacts, dust, moisture  
and sudden changes of temperatures. Keep in mind that, although  
being very durable, NVS7 contains fragile components.  
Do not touch the optical surfaces with fingers. Doing so  
may damage the anti-reflection coating.  
Cleaning of optical surfaces is allowed only with  
professional camera lens cleaning supplies.  
To clean the exterior of the device, use only a soft clean  
cloth.  
Do not take the cover off the lens if not necessary.  
Keep away from heating appliances and central heating.  
Make sure to switch off the unit and remove the batteries  
during periods of non-operation and when storing the device  
for long period of time.  
Do not apply superfluous efforts at work with lens  
assembly, agile elements and thread connections.  
Due to considerable optical magnification of the eye-piece  
some small structures inside the Image Intensifier Tube  
coating in the form of dark and/or white points may be seen  
in the field of view. This does not affect the serviceability of  
the device.  
The image does not appear in focus.  
Bring the inspected object to the center of the image. Rotate the  
eyepieces (6) to achieve the clearest image on the screen. Then  
obtain the most clear-cut image of the object focusing the lens  
(2). Repeat the steps of focusing if necessary  
If the view still does not seem in focus, clean the lenses - they  
could be foggy or dusty.  
Unit flashes  
It is normal for the unit to flash within the first 2 minutes of  
activation. If the flashing continues afterwards the following is a  
possible cause: bright environment (even with the caps closed!)  
Condensation accumulates on the parts.  
It is O.K. to use the unit in cold. However, when the unit is  
brought from the cold into a warm environment, it has to warm  
up for up to 2 hours (not minutes!).  
Only then it is allowed to turn it ON again.  
Visibility decreases and / or disappears.  
Bright light sources (moon, projectors or headlights) may cause  
visibility to degrade or even completely disappear. Move the  
device away from the light source immediately.  
The image should be restored in within 2 minutes. Poor  
atmospheric conditions such as fog, haze or extremely dark  
environments will decrease the visibility distance of the unit.  
 
Press the button (2) to change the fixating point of the goggles  
during operation. Rotate the goggles with depressed button (2)  
until you hear the click. You can raise the unit up vertically for  
unobstructed vision without taking the helmet off. The unit will  
automatically shut off in this position. (Note: this is an optional  
feature). Reverse the operation to turn it on.  
1. OVERVIEW  
The NVS 7 type night vision is observational optico-electronic  
binoculars/goggles, intended for examining objects and orientation at  
nighttime or dark conditions. The unit utilizes a generation 2+ or 3  
image intensifier tube, which amplifies available moonlight, starlight or  
man-made light. The device was designed to be easy to use, and  
provide many years of operation.  
All other operations with goggles mounted on a helmet are identical  
to those with the head gear.  
Some of the typical activities where NVS 7 will be useful:  
Law enforcement  
Wildlife observation  
Security  
Search and rescue  
Hunting  
Photography (Dark room operation)  
Features  
Waterproof construction  
Built-in infrared illuminator allows observations in total  
darkness (i.e. basement, cave or dark room);  
Flip/flop mechanism allows easy unobstructed vision;  
Independently adjustable eyepieces;  
Ideal in situations requiring hands-free operation;  
Lightweight and comfortable;  
A soft rubberized eyepiece makes the viewing more  
comfortable.  
WARNING! NEVER OPERATE YOUR NIGHT VISION  
DEVICE IN DAYLIGHT WITHOUT THE LENS COVER ON!  
NEVER DIRECT THE LENS IN THE DIRECTION OF  
BRIGHT LIGHT!  
 
2. COMPONENTS  
NVS 7 is supplied with the following components:  
5.5 Using the helmet mount (optional)  
NVS 7 can be equipped with an optional helmet mount. This  
mount is customized for a particular type within the wide variety  
of existing helmet models. The mount is attached to a helmet  
with stripes. The goggles are fixed to the mount by a locking  
screw (1). Adjust the goggles position on your eye level with the  
screw (4).Then adjust the  
eye-relief (the distance  
between your eyes and the  
eyepieces), which should be

During daytime: It is allowed to turn on the goggles at daytime for a  
short period of time, for testing purposes only. Lens cap must be  
installed during this operation. The image will be fuzzy, and/or you will  
see 3 images. This is normal because of the catadioptric construction of  
the lens.

During night time: Remove the lens cap by unscrewing it counter  
clockwise. Keep the lens cap in a safe place, so it won't get lost. Use  
the focusing ring at the base of the lens in order to adjust the image.  
You will need to readjust the image for different objects at different  
distances.. You should expect to have a sharp image for distances as  
close as 10-20m through infinity.

the 4x lens from the box. Turn off the NVS 7 goggles. Remove the  
rubber lens cap (6). Remove (unscrew) the original 1x lens, which is  
included with the NVS 7 goggles. To do that, hold the lens at its base  
(1) and unscrew it counters clock wise. Once the original 1x lens has  
been removed, store it in a safe, clean space (you can use the 4x lens  
packaging for that). The

4. CONSTRUCTION  
You can use the device with the head gear or without it.  
When used with the head gear, first adjust all the straps for  
individual head size. Take off the lens covers (6) from the lens  
(7). Turn on the device-using switch (1). In case of insufficient  
lighting when observing an object, which is situated not far from  
the viewer, turn on the I/R illuminator by turning the I/R switch  
(1). The red indicator (Fig. 3) will be on.  
Note: The I/R illuminator is visible to anybody with a night  
vision device and will disclose the user’s presence.  
You can raise the unit up for unobstructed vision without taking  
the head gear off by using the “flip/flop” feature (Fig. 2). To  
switch the unit into off-working position: press the lever (9)  
down and raise the device into vertical position, until you hear a  
click. The unit automatically shuts off in the upright position  
(Note: this is an optional feature).

Reverse the operation for a working position.  
After operation the user should turn off the unit by rotating switch (1)  
to the OFF position. Put protective lens caps (6) on the lens (7). After  
operation remove the batteries from the battery compartment to avoid  
any damage of the device in case of occasional leakage of electrolyte  
from the batteries.  
Figure 2  
 
5. OPERATION INSTRUCTIONS  
5.1 Pre-starting procedures:  
5.2 Testing of operation:  
When wearing the unit the eye-relief (the distance between your  
eyes and the eyepieces) should be 15-22 mm. In order to achieve  
this, loosen locking screw (8) and set a comfortable distance  
between the eyes and the eyepieces; then rotate the locking  
screw (8) back. Turn on the device by rotating the switch (1) to  
the ON position. The green screens of the scopes must be lit.  
Direct the device on an object placed within 8-15m from the  
viewer. Rotate the eyepieces (4) and the lens (7) in order to  
achieve the sharpest image on the screen of the image tube.  
The eyepieces (4) are set for a person individual eye sight, and  
do not need to be changed if the same person is using the  
apparatus. The lens (7) focus needs to be adjusted according to a  
different distance of observed scenery.  
Unpack the device. In order to install the battery, first make sure  
the switch (1) is in the OFF position. Unscrew the battery house  
cover (5), and install 2 fresh AA batteries. Observe the correct  
polarity indicated on the housing. Screw the battery house cover  
back on. Check the functioning of the device by switching it on  
(rotate switch (1) and looking through eyepieces (4). Make sure  
the lens cap (6) is on while operating during the daytime. If  
power supply and the batteries are O.K., you will see greenish-lit  
screen. If the screen is not lit, check the batteries. Replace the  
batteries if necessary.  
There are one or two indicators  
in the visible zone (see Fig. 3).  
When they are off the user can  
hardly notice them. Bright
