In situations where there is no light at all the
unit can be switched into the infrared (IR) mode.
The DTNVG is equipped with an internal IR
LED enabling the unit to use this to the human
eye invisible light to operate.
The DTNVG is designed for differences in the
physical features of individuals. This allows for
a wide range of operators to use the system
safely and comfortably. Some of these design
features are the power switch, eye relief
adjustment, dioptre adjustment, and objective
focus. Lightweight and versatile, the DTNVG
can be hand-held, head-mounted, helmet-
mounted.
The DTNVG consists of two identical
Monoculars mounted to a body assembly. The
Monoculars may be pivoted sideways (when
pivoted outside the field of view, the monocular
will individually turn off.) When the DTNVG is
mounted to a helmet or head mont, the DTNVG
may be flipped up and temporarily stowed, the
DTNVG will automatically go into Standby
Mode turning off the Monoculars. The DTNVG
will automatically Turn On when flipped down
again. Each monocular is comprised of three
identical primary subassemblies: objective lens
assembly, monocular housing with image
intensifier assembly and eyepiece lens assembly.
