2. Introduction
Tube series thermal imaging riflescopes are designed for use with hunting weapons no
matter it’s day or night, or at adverse weather conditions (rain, smog, fog, and etc.). Base
on the principle of thermal imaging, thermal imaging riflescopes do not require external
light source and are resistant to high-illumination level. With Tube series thermal imaging
riflescopes, users can observe objectives even having the obstacles (branches, tall
grass, dense bushes etc.).
With two power supply solutions for ultra-long operation duration, Tube series can be
widely used for hunting, observation, locating in low visibility condition. Tube series is
designed with the 30mm standard pipe diameter, meeting the universal fixture interface.

8. Installation
Mounting On The Weapon
Warning! It is forbidden to point the riflescope lens at any high intensity energy
source, such as laser radiation emitting device or the sun. Any damage that
caused by not following instructions are not covered by warranty.
For accuracy of shooting, please properly mount the Tube series on the weapon.
⚫The Tube series riflescope is fixed using the mount, such as the Picatinny rail mount
included in the package. Tube series is designed with 30mm diameter pipe, also suits
30mm standard mount, such as mounts for the daylight scope. Follow the mounting
manufacturer’s suggestions on the installation instructions and choose proper tools.
⚫When mounting the riflescope, adjust the position on the weapon so that proper
(comfortable) holding of weapon ensures the distance between the riflescope and eye
(eye relief) specified by the Technical Specifications. Failure to comply with this
recommendation may result in injury to the shooter by the parts of the riflescope
eyepiece when shooting.
⚫It is recommended to install the riflescope as low as possible, also avoid to be in
contact with barrel or receiver.
⚫In order to avoid pinching the riflescope body, a tightening torque for the screws of the
mounting rings must be not more than 2.5 Nm. A torque wrench is recommended to
control the tightening torque.
⚫Before using the riflescope before hunting, please refer to Zeroing section in this
manual to zero your riflescope.
⚫It is recommended to use an eyeshade (1) while using the riflescope in the dark in
order to avoid detection of camouflage.
