Product Overview The UANVB Katana (Ultralight Articulating Night Vision Binocular) The Katana is a fully articulating night vision binocular that has a built in on/ off power function when pods are rotated into the out (up) and in (down) positions. The pod on/off feature will operate individually per pod.
1. I.P.D. Screw – The Interpupillary Distance screw has a factory torque setting of 8.5-inch pounds. The I.P.D. screw should not be adjusted by the user. The I.P.D. screw torque setting ensures that the interpupillary distance stop has enough resistance to provide a sure stop upon articulation down but may still be pushed past the stop limit for user inner pupillary distance adjustment.
4. I.P.D. Friction Lock Stop – The interpupillary friction lock stop will enable the user to set the stopping point of each pod when rotated or articulated into the down position. 5. Tensioner plate – The tensioner plate is the mechanism used to fasten the pod to the bridge of the device.

6. I.P.D. Reset Position – The I.P.D. friction lock mechanism may be pushed past the point of stop provided by the protruding tooth of the tensioning plate. The user can push against this protruding tooth to reset the I.P.D. mechanism. 7.

8. Articulation Power On – When the device is powered on using the battery cap on cycle or external power pack set to ON the individual pod will be powered on while in the in (down) position. 9. Articulation Power Off – When the device is powered on using the battery cap on click cycle or external power pack set to ON the individual pod will be powered OFF while articulated (rotated) to a position that exceeds the position at which the pod...

10. Purge Screw – The purge screw will be fitted with a small O- ring whose purpose is to seal the port used to purge the night vision binocular. The purge screw should not be removed by the user. If the purge screw is removed or loosened for any reason the seal of the pod may be breached allowing moisture to enter the pod.

close distance to maximum distance gradually while twisting the lens. The lens can be unthreaded to a stopping limit that will be retained by the night vision binocular pod preventing the lens from unthreading completely and falling off. This will ensure that the seal of the night vision binocular cannot be breached, and purge seal will be maintained.
O-Ring should be regularly lubricated by the user using silicone-based lubricant to reduce wear of the O-Ring. If the O- Ring becomes worn or damaged please contact Nocturn Industries for a replacement. 18. Objective Lens – The objective lens is the front lens of the night vision binocular device.
Trouble Shooting No Power Battery - If the night vision binocular is not powering on start by ensuring there is a fresh CR123A battery in the device in the proper positive negative orientation. Ensure that the night vision binocular pods are in the in (down) position within the range where the independent on feature will be activated.

I.P.D. Stops are loose I.P.D. Screw – Rotate (articulate) the pod in and out (up/down) to evaluate whether the I.P.D. friction lock system has an appropriate amount of stopping force when I.P.D. stopping mechanism reaches the stopping point of the tooth on the tensioner plate. If it is found that the I.P.D.
