Aimpoint 3XMag-1 User manual

3XMag-1™ Magnier
User manual

1 PRESENTATION
The Aimpoint® 3XMag-1 module can be used in conjunction with all Aimpoint
sights for long-range aiming or observing. A variable (-3 to +3) dioptric setting
allows this magnier to be adapted to the individual shooter’s eye. The
3XMag-1 can also be used as a handheld 3X monocular.
Aimpoint magniers utilize the red dot in Aimpoint sights as the aiming reticle,
eliminating the need for re-zeroing when shifting between non-magnied and
magnied aiming.
The 3XMag-1 is encased in a shock absorbing protective rubber cover that
also creates an ideal ergonomic grip. Internal optical adjustments make the
aligning of the magnier and sight quick and easy.
For quick attachment/detach, we recommend the use of the Aimpoint
FlipMount or the Aimpoint TwistMount.

2 OPERATION
WARNING: Ensure the weapon is not loaded and the safety selector is in the
”safe” position before attempting to install, remove or perform maintenance
on the 3XMag-1 - other than attaching/detaching it under normal use.
For quick attachment/detach, we recommend the Aimpoint FlipMount or the
Aimpoint TwistMount as shown in Fig. 3.
Follow the manufacturer’s instructions when installing the 3XMag-1.
2.1 Installing the Aimpoint® 3XMag-1 on a weapon
The mounting surface (3) of the 3XMag-1 allow for mounting to any 30 mm
diameter ring mount when the rubber cover is cut away, see Fig. 2.

The height of the mount is correct when the optical axis of the 3XMag-1 and
the Aimpoint sight coincide. Select a suitable position for the 3XMag-1 on the
weapon base so the eye relief is correct and feels comfortable.
Assemble the 3XMag-1 to the chosen mount and install it on the weapon.
The 3XMag-1 shall be mounted with the Aimpoint logo on top.
Carefully tighten the mount to the weapon base and retighten after a few
rounds.

2.2 Centering
The 3XMag-1 does not need to be zeroed. However, an Aimpoint sight used
together with the 3XMag-1 must be zeroed so the red dot of the sight creates
the correct point of impact.
The 3XMag-1 has two screws (1) that allow the user to center the red dot
of the Aimpoint sight when viewed through the 3XMag-1. Centering the dot
inside the 3XMag-1 is not necessary, but creates a more natural feel.

CAUTION: Do not continue to adjust the screws if you encounter resistance.

2.3 Diopter setting
Additionally, on the 3XMag-1 it is possible to adjust the diopter setting by
rotating the diopter ring (2) as shown in Fig. 6.
CAUTION: Never clean the lenses with the ngers. Use a lens paper/cloth.
If no lens paper/cloth is available, simply blow away the dirt or fog up the
lenses and dry them with a clean and soft piece of cloth.
3 EXTREME CONDITIONS
Use in extreme heat or cold, salt air, sea spray, water, mud and snow, dust
and sand storms or high altitudes does not require any special procedures.
4 MAINTENANCE
To reach maximum protection level for all weather conditions, wax is added
into the rubber mixture. The wax is slowly migrating to the surface of the part.
The wax is used up completely during frequent use and is not noticed by the
user. For long time storage, the wax is not used up as frequently and is seen
as a grey lm on the surface. Wipe with a damp cloth to restore to its original
condition.
