The OTIS-14 is a thermal system intended for law enforc ement, milit ar y and commercial uses. It is built
around state of the art uncooled thermal imaging technology, highly integrated DSP-based electronics
and a compact, light weight system.
The OTIS-14 thermal monocular provides the excellent image quality that is unaffected by lights or
shadows that seriously hamper the image quality of image intensified night vision. Total darkness,
camouflage or bright lights will not affect the sensitivity of these units.
The included and optional accessories provide for the versatility of the monocular. You can put it on a
headset or on a helmet, connected to another monocular to build a binocular system etc.
The ATN OTIS-14’s superior performance, compact size, comfort of wear and cost efficiency makes it
the perfect thermal imaging device.
* ATN reserves the right to change the above specifications at any time without notice
• High resolution digital thermal imaging
• Compact, light weight and durable housing
• Head /helmet mountable for hands free usage
• High Quality optics
• Video and computer output
• Video/Image polarity selection
• Waterproof

Insert the two Lithium batteries (123A type) into the unit accord-
ing to the polarity indications on the battery compartment. Press
the ON/OFF button to turn the monocular on. Remove the lens
cap.
Adjust the proper eyepiece diopter and objective lens focusing.
The rotation of the Focusing Ring changes the position of the
objective lens in respect of the receiver focal plane array. In this
way the operator can adjust the unit in order to see the targets at
various ranges with the same good contrast.
Cover protects the objective assembly from mechanical damage.
The operator can adjust the eyepiece diopter of the monocular for his/her own eyesight by rotating
Eyepiece Diopter Adjustment Ring.
Eyecup provides for the comfortable eye position and for the prevention of flash reflections onto the
operator’s face which is critical in the field and tactical activities.
Select the desired operation mode by pressing the switchboard
buttons.
With the «ZOOM» button you can activate a gradual adjustment
of the digital zoom preset in the monocular adjustments.
The «POLARITY» button switches the direct display mode into
the reverse one, i.e. from hot-white/cold-black into hot-black/
cold-white mode.
Each short push of the buttons «BRIGHTNESS +» or «BRIGHT-
NESS –» raises or lowers the display brightness, correspond-
ingly, in stepwise way.
To turn the monocular off press the ON/OFF button.
s e t t i n g
The working settings of this thermal monocular may be custom-
ized by means of a PC.
Install the software into the PC from the CD/ DVD supplied in the
package of each OTIS-14 unit. Connect the monocular to the PC
through the included USB cable. The USB Cable is an interface
link between the thermal monocular and the external PC, and it
accepts the external power supply at the same time.
IMPORTANT: When the unit is to be powered with external
sources, first make sure the batteries have been taken out.
The thermal monocular OTIS-14 can be powered either from the
included batteries or from any external source. Switch the mo-
nocular on, start the auxiliar y software and introduce all the needed or desirable settings into it.
v i d e o o u t p u t
The monocular incorporates a sealed Connector used for video
transmission and to connect external power sources. The pack-
age of the thermal monocular OTIS-14 includes external con-
nection Video Cable. Video Cable at t aches the monocular to the
video facilities for video recording or video transmission to the
external display, though at the same time it accepts the external
power supply.
IMPORTANT: When the unit is to be powered with external
sources, first make sure the batteries have been taken out.

To mount the OTIS-14 to a headmount, perform the following :
1. Loosen the screw (A) . Push the but ton (B ) and inser t the rail of
the OTIS-14 into the socket (C) of the headset.
2. Place the headmount with OTIS-14 onto a head.
3. Loosen the screw (A) and move the unit along the rail for eye
relief adjustment.
4. The OTIS-14 headmount has a flip-up mechanism. Push the
button (D) on the side of mount and lift the unit up until the unit
fixates in the top position.
5. Push the same button (D) to lower OTIS-14 to the viewing position.
6. The OTIS-14 can be placed onto the right or left eye. In order to readjust the monocular for use with
the other eye, take the unit of f t he ad a pter, turn the unit to ot her si de (for 180 º ) and mou nt it o n the head -
mount adapter through the rail on this side. Push the button (E) and move the device along the slide-rail
(F) for comfor table position.
h e l m e n t m o u n t (o p t i o n a l )
Attachment of OTIS-14 to a standard PASGT helmet. The Helmet mount fits securely onto helmet
via a rugged strapping device and grooved hooks. With helmet
mount, the OTIS-14 can be positioned directly in front of user’s
eyes or flipped up out of viewing position.
1. Install the mount onto helmet as shown on the picture.
2. Tighten and fixate the straps (A)
3. Attach the monocular to the rail.
4. Loosen screw (C). Push button (B) and insert the bracket of
the OTIS-14 into rail (D) of the helmet mount.
5. Place the helmet with OTIS-14 onto head.
6. Loosen the screw (C) and move the unit for proper eye relief
adjustment.
7. The OTIS -14 helmet mount has a flip -up mec hanis m. Push t he
button (E) on the side of mount and lift the unit up until the unit fixates in the top position.
8. Push the same button (E) to lower OTIS-14 to viewing position.
9. The OTIS-14 can be placed onto the right or left eye. In order to readjust the monocular for use with
the other eye, take the unit of f the headmount adapter, turn the unit to other side (for 180º ) and mount it
on the adapter through the rail on this side. Push the button (E) and move the device along the slide-rail
(F) for comfor table position.

IMPORTANT: When the unit is to be powered with external sources, first make sure the batteries have
been taken out.
To connect an external power source you can use any of the cables of the monocular package. As an
external power source, a standard network controller with outer voltage of 6V and current of over 0.5A
can be applied.
Remove the protective cover off the connector input and attach the cable. To connect an external
source, we recommend you to use a 6mm standard double-pole socket in the way the positive contact
is the central contact.
