MOUNTING SYSTEM
The ATN Night Vision Riflescopes Mounting System allows to change the position of
the riflescope flexibly on the weapon in relation to a shooter in combination with the
fixed positions already available on the weaver rail. For this purpose in the base of
the mounting bracket there is a rail with a fixing projection. There are two grooves in the
mounting bracket for mounting this rail. Besides it is possible to change the position of
the riflescope additionally by 1/3 of inch. For doing this one needs to about-face the rail.
To change the position of the riflescope on the weaver rail additionally follow the steps
mentioned below:
1. Unscrew the two screws, which attach the rail to the mounting bracket.
2. Take the rail out of the groove.
3. About-face the rail in case of necessity.
4. Place the rail into another groove.
5. Fix the rail with the two screws.
NOTE: If the rail does not come out easily, tighten one of the
removed screws into the threaded aperture in the middle of the
fixing projection of the rail. Rotate this screw, which will in turn
push the rail out from the groove.
DIGITAL CONTROL
The ATN Trident Pro has a simple and easy to operate one-button control and adjustment.
To turn on: Press the operation button by one short push
To turn off: Press the operation button again by one short push
To adjust reticle brightness:
1) After turning scope on, press and hold operation button. Brightness will grow smoothly while the
button is kept pressed. Release the button when necessary brightness is achieved.
2) Press and hold the button second time for smooth decrease of brightness. Adjustment could be
easily seen if you look through the scope while adjustment.
REMOTE CONTROL
Attach the Remote Control cable to connector on the bottom of
the body of device. Place the Remote Control on the weapon,
suiting your shooting style best and grip. Fix the Remote Con-
trol in this position with a montage strap.
To turn the scope on push the button of remote control. Keep
pressed button when obser ving scene. The scope is turned off
immediately after releasing remote control button.
FOCUSING
To focus your riflescope you will need to adjust the diopter first thing. Simply turn the diopter clock-
wise until it stops. Then, while looking through the diopter at a subject, slowly turn the diopter back
counter clockwise until the grain in the image is sharp.
NOTE: We suggest that you focus the diopter during daylight with the cap on.
OPERATION EXTENDIBILITY
There are three detachable Picatinny rails on the body of the
scope for additional lighting, laser and other mission critical
tools. The rails fix with two screws as shown on the figure.
IR ILLUMINATION
Infra-red (IR) Illuminators are common for night vision technology. The IR light greatly enhances the
performance of your ATN Trident Pro scope, while remaining almost totally invisible to the naked
eye. In dark environment, power up the ATN Trident Pro. Now, find a scene and examine it without
the IR on then with IR powered up. Note the difference in illumination. It is important to remember

RETICLE
ATN Trident Pro reticle gives a clearly aiming point, even
when hard-to-see game blends into the background. Posts
and crosshairs center section covers a minimum of the
target and allow for less target coverage, making precision
shots on small target easy.
The size of illuminated red reticle correspond to 1 yards at
100 yards distance.

that the IR illuminator is simply an infra red light source, and like any light source it may loose its
effectiveness over a great distance.
To fix the IR illuminator to the riflescope use the picatinny raile of the scope.
The IR illuminator control buttons are located on its side. To switch the Digital IR illuminator
on/off press “+” and “-” buttons simultaneously. When the IR illuminator is switched on you can
see the green LED lit. By pushing the buttons “+” and “-” you may adjust the IR brightness.
The IR beam is focusable to change the field of coverage. To change the beam width slightly turn
the IR lens.
You could change the IR control panel fitting your needs. The wrench included into the set should be
used for weakening the fixing nut located on the IR. Rotate the IR placing at in the most convenient
position. Tighten the nut with the wrench to fix the new position.
WINDAGE AND ELEVATION
The vertical and horizontal adjustments for the ATN Trident Pro
can be achieved by turning the elevation and windage adjust-
ment mechanisms (remove dust caps first). Each click equals
1/2 inch at 100 yards. When reaching the maximum range of
rotation do not use force.
CLEANING THE EYEPIECE
You may need to clean the eyepiece of the riflescope from time to time in order to guarantee top per-
formance. When you receive your riflescope you should check for dust on the eyepiece of the unit.
CAUTION: Use only Photographic lens cleaning tissue on these surfaces. Be careful not to scratch
or smudge any of these surfaces. When using compressed air to blow dust away, make sure to avoid
inverting the can while spraying. This can cause frozen propellant to exit the can, which can cause
serious problems with the glass and phosphor screen
