1 GENERAL INFORMATION
1.1 SYSTEM DESCRIPTION
The Mil-Spec RMSAL Rifle-Mounted Squad Aiming Laser is a CLASS IIIb laser
that consists of a visible aiming laser, a near-infrared (near-IR) aiming laser,
and a focusable near-IR illuminator. The function of the RMSAL is to provide an
operator with highly collimated aiming lasers for precision aiming and targeting
both with the unaided eye in low light conditions and with image intensified night
vision devices in night-time applications. The focusable near-IR Illuminator
provides the user with the ability to flood the area of interest with invisible near-
infrared light.
The RMSAL can be operated in a variety of modes with single lasers or multiple
lasers concurrently. The visible and near-IR aiming lasers are can be bore
sighted to the weapon using unique ballistic differential adjustment ports
using the on-board tool. The output power of the RMSAL can be adjusted from
approximately 50 µW to 25 mW electronically across 256 discrete intervals. In
addition, the aiming lasers can be operated via user selectable switch in either a
constant wave or 4 Hz pulsed mode. The lasers can be activated either by remote
switch assembly or through an integral “FIRE” button on the main housing. In
the interest of safety for force-on-force training, the RMSAL can be outfitted
with an included blue colored SAFETY remote cable that acts as an interlock
to keep both the remote switch and the “FIRE” button limited to eye safe laser
conditions emitting at less than 600 µW. A full feature black tactical remote
switch assembly can be mated to the unit to provide access to the full power
range of the unit. Additional safety features include: laser “ON” indicator when
lasing, low battery indicator, and SAFETY indicator when the appropriate remote
switch is installed.
The RMSAL can be used either with the unaided eye in low light conditions or with
image intensified night vision devices in dark environments depending on the
laser mode selection. The RMSAL can be used in either a handheld mode with
the operator activating the “FIRE” button or in a weapon mounted configuration
using the integrated MIL-STD-1913 rail grabber assembly on the unit.

RMSAL. Install the 123A 3.0VDC Lithium battery with positive terminal facing
forward in accordance with the battery orientation icon on the top of the RMSAL
Assembly. Hand-tighten to fully secure the cap onto the housing to ensure that
the battery cap O-ring is contact pressed. Batteries load from the aft so no need
to remove RMSAL.

11 RMSAL USER MANUAL
2.2.2 MOUNTING THE RMSAL
WARNING:
Always make sure your firearm is unloaded before you place the equipment
on the firearm. Reconfirm that the chamber is empty if you stop the procedure
then resume later. Safe handling rules should be followed at all times.
The RMSAL is equipped with an integrated MIL-STD-1913 rail grabber jaw
assembly. The jaws should be fully extended by rotating the knurled camshaft
knob in the fully counterclockwise direction (CCW). Stop turning the cam CCW
when it reaches the end of it travel and you meet resistance.
Wrap the fixed jaw over the weapon rail, center the recoil stop in a recoil groove,
and then tighten the translating jaw by turning the knurled cam shaft knob
clockwise (CW) until it is snug. The knurled cam knob has a slot machined into it
so that a multi-tool, light screwdriver or cartridge can be used for added torque
to tighten the rail grabber sufficiently. Do not over-tighten as damage may occur
to the weapon rail or the RMSAL mount.

2.2.3 INSTALLATION OF REMOTE SWITCH ASSEMBLIES
The RMSAL is equipped as part of the standard kit with two (2) remote switch
assemblies. The one with the BLACK button provides the operator with access
to the full range of functions and capabilities that the RMSAL has to offer. The
one with the BLUE button has a laser SAFETY INTERLOCK incorporated into it.
While the operator has access to the full functionality of the RMSAL, the output
power of the near-IR aiming and illumination lasers is limited to less than 600μW
in order to keep the system eye safe for force-on-force training and exercise
applications. Note that when the BLUE SAFETY INTERLOCK remote switch
assembly is installed in the RMSAL, it also regulates the power associated with
the “FIRE” button. When the BLUE SAFETY INTERLOCK remote is removed, the
“FIRE” button will remain in eye safe operational mode until such time as the
BLACK Tactical remote switch is installed which then automatically resets the
power circuits for full output power range access.
Engage the remote switch assemblies by inserting the gold-plated MCX plug into
the mating gold-plated, waterproof connector located on the rear bulkhead on
the right side of the RMSAL. Do not try to remove Remote Switch Assembly by
pulling on the cable. Always grip the MCX connector in order to remove.
2.2.4 PROTECTIVE LENS CAPS
The RMSAL is supplied with protective lens caps for the dual port Visible and
Near-IR Aiming Lasers as well as a separate lens cap for the focusable near-
IR Illuminator. These caps are tethered to the RMSAL to prevent loss. These
caps should be placed over the laser ports when not in service to protect the
lenses from dirt, debris and scratches which may degrade laser performance
and collimation.

2.3.2 INTEGRAL “FIRE” BUTTON
The RMSAL is equipped with an integrated “FIRE” button that performs the same
function as the remote cable switch and is located on the top of the RMSAL at the
rear left corner where it is clearly marked. In the event of remote cable assembly
damage or failure, the “FIRE” button can activate the RMSAL lasers.
FIGURE 2-11. INTEGRAL “FIRE” BUTTON

15 RMSAL USER MANUAL
It should be noted that when the RMSAL is positioned on the weapon rail at the
9 o’clock position, the stabilizing hand can activate the “FIRE” button with the
left thumb for right-handed shooters. Double tapping the button switch will keep
the aiming lasers in the “ON” position. This tool is useful during weapon bore
sighting, signaling, or marking applications.
2.3.3 BEAM PULSE SELECTION BUTTON
The RMSAL is equipped with an integral beam pulse selection button. This
button allows the operator to change both the visible and near-IR aiming lasers
from constant wave to 4 Hz pulse. The pulse selection button is labeled with
the following icon: _____._____._____. Note that the pulse selection button does
NOT cause the near-IR illuminator to pulse. This feature is particularly useful
when working in two-man teams to help differentiate beams or for marking and
signaling applications.
FIGURE 2-12. PULSE-CONSTANT WAVE BUTTON
2.3.4 LASER POWER CONTROL BUTTONS
The RMSAL has a discrete 256 step electronic power setting adjustment for both
the near-IR aiming laser and the near-IR illuminator. Roughly aligned with each
laser, there are output power “up” and output power “down” buttons demarked by
the respective ↑and ↓icons. The power can be adjusted in incremental steps or
by pressing and holding the button down, the power settings will scroll through
the individual settings in the direction selected.
FIGURE 2-13. POWER CONTROL BUTTONS

16 AGM Global Vision
2.3.5 FOCUSING THE NEAR-IR ILLUMINATOR
The near-IR illuminator on the RMSAL can be focused manually by turning the
knurled bezel assembly. In the fully extended position, the beam divergence
approximates 1 mRad. In the fully recessed position, the beam divergence of the
near-IR illuminator approximates 108 mRad.
2.3.6 INDICATOR LIGHTS
The RMSAL has a series of indicator lights that provide the operator with the
functional status of the system as well as provide useful information to both the
operator and laser safety monitors. There are two (2) light emitting diodes (LED)
on the rear bulkhead of the RMSAL. The first is a bi-color LED, labeled BATT, that
has two functions. The first is to warn the operator that the battery is low and will
need to be replaced within the next 100 laser activations (where an activation is
generally understood to be a 2 second laser emission). This warning light is RED.
The second function of the BATT LED is to provide an indicator to the operator
and laser range safety officer or exercise monitor that the RMSAL is configured

for eyesafe operation intended for training and force-on-force exercises. When
the BLUE SAFETY INTERLOCK remote is installed the LED will activate in an
amber color to indicate laser mode selection switch has been moved from the
“OFF” position to one of the active laser functions and is in eyesafe mode.
The second LED on the rear bulkhead of the RMSAL is labeled LASER ACTIVE.
This LED turns on and emits a green light each time that either the remote switch
assembly or the “FIRE” button is pushed provided that the mode selection
switch is not in the “OFF” position. This LED is intended to provide information
to the operator that his laser is active and emitting the particular laser mode
combination selected. When the Mode Select Switch is in the “OFF” position and
the remote switch assembly or “FIRE” button are pushed, the LASER ACTIVE LED
will not light up because there is no active laser emission in that mode.
2.3.7 BALLISTIC ADJUSTERS
Ballistic adjusters on the RMSAL employ a novel departure from the standard
contemporary designs in creating a weapon bore sighted laser. First, the ballistic
adjuster (both elevation and windage) are located on the rear bulkhead of the
RMSAL so that the operator can make fine adjustments of the laser positions
without reaching alongside or forward of the system or muzzle to effect
corrections. Second, using an internal differential transfer mechanism, the
operator can use the onboard lanyard captivated hex tool to make elevation and
windage adjustments. In the event the tool is detached from the RMSAL, the
user can still use a multi-tool, cartridge, or standard screwdriver to make the
necessary adjustment via the slots machined into the head of the adjusters.
Movement of the laser aiming beams is clearly marked in directional terms
of WINDAGE MPI (mean point of impact) left and ELEVATION MPI down. The
onboard ballistic adjuster tool is labeled ADJUST TOOL.

When operating the RMSAL’s IR channel(s), you must wear night vision devices
in order to see the respective beams.
CAUTION:
DO NOT force the equipment controls past their stopping points.
2.4.1 BORESIGHT ADJUSTMENT PROCEDURE
WARNING:
Always make sure your firearm is unloaded before you place the equipment
on the firearm. Reconfirm that the chamber is empty if you stop the procedure
then resume later. Safe handling rules should be followed at all times.
NOTE:
Before adjusting the RMSAL boresight for the first time, fire approximately
10 shots from the weapon with the device installed, in order to stabilize the
adjustment mechanisms under applied recoil shocks.
NOTE:
When adjusting the equipment in order to boresight, beware of reflections
from optical surfaces.
To boresight the RMSAL:
1. Locate a target at the fire adjustment range (25 m).
2. Take aim at the center of the target using the weapon’s iron sight and secure
the weapon in the aiming rest.
3. Unscrew the onboard Ballistic Adjuster Tool.
4. Turn the switch to the VIS (visible laser) position and activate the RMSAL
(double tap the FIRE button).
5. Using the Ballistic Adjuster Tool, adjust the visible aiming laser to co-align with
the bore sighted iron sights.
6. Fire a series of three (3) shots in order to check grouping.
7. Shift range to 100m and recheck co-alignment of visible laser against bore
sighted iron sights. Adjust as needed.
8. Fire a series of three (3) shots in order to check grouping.
9. Work out the values of the elevation and windage corrections required to
compensate for the measured deviation of the mean point of impact (MPI)
from the center of the target.

19 RMSAL USER MANUAL
10. Adjust the equipment boresight by turning the adjustment screws.
11. Using the Ballistic Adjuster Tool:
- To shift the MPI to the right, turn the windage adjustment screw CCW. To
shift it to the left, turn the screw CW.
- To shift the MPI up, turn the elevation adjustment screw CCW. To shift it
down, turn the screw CW.
12. To check the equipment boresight, use the visible laser dot to take aim at the
center of the target and fire a series of three (3) shots.
13. Double check the equipment boresight in the IR aiming mode by donning a
night vision device, selecting IR AIM and using the laser dot to take aim at the
center of the target and fire a series of three (3) shots.
14. After completing the boresight adjustment procedure, turn the device OFF
and replace the Ballistic Adjuster Tool.
2.4.2 OPERATING PROCEDURE
To operate the RMSAL:
1. Ensure that the RMSAL rotary switch is positioned to “OFF”. Install a new,
fresh, high quality CR123 battery into the battery compartment paying
attention to the battery orientation. Install battery cap.
2. If you are operating the device using limited laser output to <600µW (Class I)
for eye safe applications such as initial operator or force-on-force exercises,
use the BLUE SAFETY INTERLOCK remote switch. Note that the eye safe
output power governor of the blue remote switch will not be over-ridden even
when the remote cable is removed. Access to the full power spectrum of the
RMSAL is not restored until the black button remote is installed.
3. Remove the cap(s) from the laser output aperture(s).
4. Turn the switch to the required position. Note that you will need to pull on the
rotary switch in order to rotate it clockwise from the “OFF” position. To turn
the rotary switch to the “VIS” aiming laser, it is not necessary to pull on the
rotary switch while turning in order to overcome a mechanical lock-out
feature.
5. Activate the RMSAL (push FIRE button or remote switch).
6. Double tapping the button switch will keep the aiming lasers in the “ON”
position.
7. The two forward buttons on either side of the RMSAL will allow the operator to
raise/lower the output power of the respective near-IR lasers. (NOTE: the
visible laser is set for a constant output power approximating 4 mW). The full

20 AGM Global Vision
output power range of the IR lasers consists of 256 increments that can be
individually tapped. By depressing and holding either the power up or power
down button, the power will increase or decrease in increments of eight (8)
settings at a time allowing the operator to experience the full range from
lowest to highest power setting (or vice-versa) within five (5) seconds.
WARNING:
DO NOT leave the RMSAL activated when it’s not in use.
WARNING:
The IR light from the equipment’s IR laser(s) is invisible to the naked eye.
However, the light can be detected by all night vision devices. To reduce the
risk of detection, avoid prolonged activation of the IR laser(s).
NOTE:
To switch the activated equipment to another operation mode, turn the switch
to the desired position and reactivate the laser(s) by pushing FIRE button.
2.4.3 CONSTANT WAVE / PULSE WAVE APPLICATIONS
To change the pulse mode of the aiming laser:
1. When in the constant wave mode, push the aft button labeled (- - -) to change
the aiming laser to 4Hz pulsing.
2. Press the aft button labeled (- - -) again to return to constant wave mode.
NOTE:
Proper laser protocol is to locate a target with your NVDs and then activate the
laser for no more than two seconds at a time in order to prosecute the target.
2.4.4 RMSAL SHUT-DOWN
To shut down the RMSAL:
1. Turn the rotary switch to OFF.
2. Replace the cap(s) on the laser output aperture(s).
3. Remove the remote switch by pulling on the plug (not the cable).
4. Remove the equipment from the weapon rail.
5. Remove the battery.
CAUTION:
Do not store the equipment with the battery still installed.
6. Store the RMSAL and all accessories in the case.
