1. BRIEF DESCRIPTION The AN daytime binoculars AN 8x30M22, The binoculars are designed and manufactured to military specifications and provide excellent brightness, image clarity and true image color. The built-in range finding reticle, M22 standard, enables measurements of horizontal and vertical angles, as well as calculation of height, width of the target and distance to the target. These binoculars are waterproof, shockproof and nitrogen filled. They are also rubber armoured and ha

Fig. 1). Due to the objective lens, the image at this point is turned upside down. However, as the image passes through the prism system, (known as the erective prisms) (2, Fig. 1) it becomes right side up (erect) and changed from right to left, to left to right. After the prisms the image rays pass through the reticle lens (3, Fig. 1) and then through the eyepiece (4, Fig. 1). 3.2 Reticle Reticle lens (3, Fig. 1) contains vertical and horizontal lines that constitute an M22 reticl

6. OPERATION INSTRUCTIONS 6.1 Interpupillary distance adjustment Prior to use you may like to adjust the binoculars to the distance between your eyes (interpupillary distance). Holding the binoculars in both hands rotate its halves until you see one round image. Note: The image may not be clear at this step. You will focus it in the next step. 6.2 Focusing the binoculars The binoculars have independent focus. Independent focus To focus the binoculars raise the instrument to your

6.3 Measuring horizontal angle using the reticle An M22 reticle built into these binoculars enables measuring height, distance and size of a target, as well as angle between two close targets. Though reticle appearance may differ from one model to another as described in 3.2, the description below is valid for all models. When the angle between two targets is smaller than the angle measuring range (100 mils), aim the scale line at one end of the reticle at the target then read the value

When the angle between two targets is larger than the angle measuring range (100 mils), it can be measured in several steps. The horizontal angle of cruiser shown in Fig. 5, is 130 mils (60+70=130). 6.4 Measuring vertical angle using the reticle Fig. 5. Vertical angle measurement is similar to horizontal angle measuring. When height of the target is smaller than the reticle scale, its height can be obtained in one measurement. The height of the beacon, shown in Fig

For targets taller than the reticle scale, perform measurement in steps in the same way as it is described for the horizontal angle measurement. Fig. 6. 11

6.5 Using the reticle to calculate distance To determine the distance to the target use the formula: D = H/K, where D – distance to target in km, H – estimated height of the target in m, K – vertical angle of the target in mil. First, estimate the height (or width) of the target, then measure target’s horizontal (vertical) angle and calculate the distance. For example: Assuming an image of an adult human figure has a vertical angle of 10 mils and its height is 1.70m we can calculat

Fig. 7 Place the lower edge of the target at the horizontal line on the reticle. The reading of the scale at the point where target’s 2 m level touches the scale is the distance in meters. Assuming that vehicle on the Fig. 7 is 2 m high; the distance to it is 550m. 13

6.7 Calculating target's size using angle readings To calculate height and width user will need to estimate the distance to the target and measure its horizontal and vertical angles. Then using the formula for distance measurement one can calculate target’s height: H=DxK, where K is vertical angle in mils, D is distance in meters and H is height in meters. For example: if distance to the target is 0.6 km and its horizontal angle is 30 mils and its vertical angle is 60 mils, using t

7. STORAGE AND MAINTENANCE The binoculars are precision optical instruments that should be carefully handled and properly maintained to keep them in a good working order. Clean the lenses after each use with special optical cloth. Never wipe the lenses with fingers; grease may damage the optics coating. Never use anything to wipe the lenses except special optical cleaning cloth. The eyepieces provide a wide dioptre adjustment; do not turn them beyond the factory set stop. Forcing eyep
