• Only use the attachments/accessories specified by the manufacturer
• All service must be provided by the manufacturer
Certain potentially dangerous conditions may be possible when using, maintaining, transporting
or storing the Apache A-9 Goggle. To ensure safe operation, maintenance, transportation and
storage, users should be aware of all safe practices and take all precautions listed below and
throughout this manual.
WARNING:
It is required to preflight the Apache A-9 Pilot/Aviator Night Vision Imaging System. Failure to
conduct preflight inspection of the goggle and verifying proper operational performance can
jeopardize pilot operations and risk mission and/or crew safety. Failure to preflight the goggle
may also void the user’s FAA Airworthiness Certification. Consult your flight operations director
for guidance.
Operators are required to document Apache A-9 operational performance by logging preflight
inspection results in the Operator Log Book prior to each flight.
WARNINGS:
There are no user-serviceable parts inside the Apache A-9 Goggle. Disassembling any of the
components, circuitry or sub-components, could result in operational malfunction, damage
to equipment, and/or flight safety issues. Servicing should only be attempted by qualified
technicians who are familiar with and trained in the proper servicing of an Apache A-9 night
vision device. Unauthorized attempts to service the Goggle will void the warranty and void any
FAA Continued Flight Worthiness Certifications.
CAUTIONS:
To reduce the possibility of corrosion damage due to battery leakage, remove batteries from the
Battery Pack before extended storage or projected long periods of non-use, as well as after a set
of batteries has lost its charge.
The Apache A-9 has been designed, built, and tested to ensure optimal performance despite
rugged handling or adverse conditions, and it comes complete with an integral water-resistant
protective case. It is, however, a precision instrument, and should be handled and transported
with care to ensure long life and trouble-free operation. Do not drop, throw, strike, or otherwise
carelessly mishandle the Apache A-9.

1 GENERAL INFORMATION
1.1 SYSTEM DESCRIPTION
This manual provides instructions for the operator to use and maintain the Aviator’s Night Vision
Imaging System (ANVIS) Model Apache A-9 (see Figures 1-1). The Apache A-9 is a self-contained
night vision device that enables improved night vision using ambient light from the night sky
(moon, stars, sky glow, etc.). The Apache A-9 is a helmet-mounted passive binocular that provides
the capability for pilots to fly in terrain flight modes at night. The system amplifies ambient light
from sources such as the moon, stars and sky glow so the viewed scene becomes clearly visible
to the operator.

2.3 OPERATING PROCEDURES
2.3.1 SETTING THE CONTROLS AND ADJUSTMENTS:
The Apache A-9 is designed to adjust for differences in head shape and correct for most
differences in eyesight.
NOTE
Although the Apache A-9 is designed to be used without eyeglasses, if eyeglasses are needed to
read the aircraft instruments and the eyeglass lenses will fit within the eye relief distance of the
binocular’s eyepiece, eyeglasses can and should be worn.
WARNING
If eyeglasses are worn, the eyeglasses upper rim can obscure the low-battery indicator.
NOTE
Before using the Apache A-9 for flight operations, be sure to check out the system’s operation.
Perform the checkout under darkened conditions. Use the following operating procedures for
check out. If a failure occurs, refer to the troubleshooting procedures in Chapter 3, Section 2. If
the problem persists, the system must be returned to Customer Support center.
1. Make sure the batteries are installed as described in paragraph 2-3A. Remove the lens caps.
2. Turn the power switch initially to the primary ON position. A green glow will appear in each
eyepiece (after a slight delay). Begin in a mission with the power switch in this posi¬tion as in the
event of a failure; it is easier and more natural to flip the switch down than up.
NOTE
If a red light appears at the base of the Apache A-9 mount, the batteries in that compartment
are low and need to be replaced. Switch to the other battery compartment and make sure those
batteries are good.
3. Turn the vertical adjustment knob (see Figure 2-7) to center the eyepieces in from of your eyes.
Minor readjustment may be needed after adjusting the tilt lever.

NOTE
If the Apache A-9 eyepieces are not properly aligned with the eyes, optimal resolution will not
be achieved. Proper alignment of the eyepieces is achieved when the distance between the
monocular matches the distance between your pupils and the line of sight is the same as the
vertical angle of the binocular. When all the eyepiece adjustments (eye-span, vertical and tilt) are
properly set, the edges of the images in both monoculars will be clear.
CAUTION
Do not attempt to adjust the tilt angle of the binoculars by pushing or pulling the monoculars up
and down as this will damage the adjustment mechanism. Use only the tilt lever to make tilt angle
adjustments.
4. Move the tilt lever (see Figure 2-8) up or down to obtain the optimum line-of-sight view. If the
upper or lower edges of the image areas are blurred, adjust both the vertical adjustment knob
and the tilt lever until the blurred edge is removed and an optimal line of sight is achieved.
5. Turn the fore-and-aft adjustment knob (see Figure 2-9) to move the monoculars away from the
eyes as far as possible without losing the field of view. This makes edge clarity easier to judge.
You may use the fore-and-aft scale to preset this adjustment.
CAUTION
Do not attempt to adjust the eye-span distance by pulling the monoculars away from each other
or pushing them together. Using force on the monoculars to make this adjustment will damage
the adjusting mechanism inside the adjustment shelf. Use only the eye-span knob(s) to adjust
the eye-span distance.

6. If your eye-span distance has been measured prior to mounting the binocular, turn the inter-
pupillary knobs(s) (see Figure 2-10) to set this value on the scale. If not, move the binoculars
closer together or further apart to adjust the eye-span distance for the proper spacing between
your eyes. When properly adjusted, the edges of the images in both monoculars will be clear and
the resultant binocular view will appear as a single circle or as two circles, overlapped and
slightly displaced laterally.
7. Now, turn the fore-and-aft adjustment knob to move the monoculars closer to the eyes as
desired for individual preference. Your eyelashes should not touch the lenses or the assembly.
A 25mm distance between the eye and the eyepiece provides for optimal viewing.

3 MAINTENANCE INSTRUCTIONS
3.1 CLEANING PROCEDURES
Wipe the housing with a damp cloth as needed.
CAUTION:
Do not use abrasives or solvents to clean the housing, lens, or display window of the device. Do
not use ammonia-based cleaning products to clean the lens. Doing so may damage the anti-
reflective coating of the lens.
The Apache A-9 lens is designed for the harsh outdoor environment and has a coating for
durability and anti-reflection, but it may require occasional cleaning. Avoid scratching the lens
and/ or leaving fingerprints on the optics. Improper cleaning can damage the optics. Clean the
lens according to the instructions below.
Do not use abrasive materials, such as paper or scrub brushes, as this can scratch or otherwise
damage the lens. Only wipe the lens clean when there is visible contamination on the surface.
Preferred Method for Cleaning the Lens
Materials:
• Optical-grade cloth
• Pure water (deionized or other)
• Isopropyl alcohol (IPA)
Saturate a piece of the lens tissue with water and drape it over the lens. Let the surface tension
of the water pull the tissue onto the lens surface. Drag the tissue across the lens surface. Repeat
several times with different pieces of tissue.
Repeat the same step using isopropyl alcohol instead of water. Drag the final piece of tissue over
the lens several times to prevent pooling, which may leave a residue behind.
