1. BRIEF DESCRIPTION 1.1. Overview NVS-33 is an afocal night vision attachment to a daytime weapon scope designed for precise aiming in darkness. The device is equipped with a high-quality generation 3 electro-optical image intensifier tube that amplifies light in the visible and IR spectrum providing for up to a 400- 700 m effective observation range at low light. Observation range depends on the characteristics of the daytime scope NVS-33 is attached to and actual observation con

5. INSTALLATION ON A RIFLE 5.1. Installation with thread usage Your NVS-33 matches to the inner thread M52x0.75 of the objective lens of those daytime riflescopes that can accept daytime filters. If your scope does not match this thread, use mechanical adapters that transform M52 into M54, M55 or M48 threads. M52 adapter is used to increase the depth of the thread in case if the scope objective lens is close to the edge of the scope. Mount your night vision attachment as follows: If

The night vision attachment NVS-33 is ready for use. NVS-33 can be screwed directly into the Newcon 3- 12x50 riflescope. Its design allows such mounting without any additional adapters. To attach NVS-33 in front of NC 3-12x50, proceed as described above without using threaded adapters. Due to different designs of the daytime riflescopes we cannot guarantee that threaded connection is supported in all cases. This design may be not strong enough to hold the night vision attachment duri

Assemble the adapter and mount the night sight attachment as follows (Fig. 3): 1. It’s necessary to select needed quantity of the plastic inserts (6) for a particular external diameter of the objective lens of the daytime riflescope. The objective lens of the daytime riflescope (7) should fit loose, but without apparent drift into the adapter (4) with the installed inserts (6) and loosen adapter screw (5). 2. After the inserts (6) are installed, the adapter (4) must be screwed on th

The lens of the daytime scope must be positioned at least 15 mm behind the front edge of the scope body. This excludes mechanical contact of the NVS-33 night sight attachment and daytime scope objective lens. Last digits in the NC540 adapters part numbers correlate with the diameter of the daytime riflescope. For example, to use NVS33 with Swarovski Z6i 2-12x50 scope, you should take the adapter NC540.50.

5.3. Installation on a Picatinny rail The night vision attachment NVS-33 can be installed on a Picatinny rail in front of the daytime riflescope. For this purpose, it has an additional Picatinny rail on the side. Night sight Picatinny rail Fig. 4 The rail adapter is designed to make the night vision attachment profile as low as possible to work together with low-profile scopes. __________________________________________ 18

Quick release Night sight rail Fig. 5 rifle rail clamp clamp with screw Actual height of the adapter must be determined at the moment of ordering of the Picatinny rail adapter. Each rifle and riflescope combination is unique, and it is necessary to know height of the line of sight above the Picatinny mount to produce this part precisely. __________________________________________ 19

Distance between NVS-33 line of sight and daytime riflescope line of sight must not exceed 2 mm. In case of two different rails are used, the angle deviation between two rails must not exceed 2 degrees. Picatinny rail adapter is attached to the scope permanently by means of a small clamp and screw. The other side of the adapter is equipped with quick release clamp, which can be adjusted for width and pressing exertion. It allows almost immediate installation and de-installation of the
