• Has protection system, which cuts off the image intensifier when
ambient light level exceeds the limit of 40 lux during a 10 sec-
onds period.
• Is submersible to 10 m for 30 minutes.
• Filled with dry nitrogen to prevent internal fogging.
The PS-40 is an effective night vision system designed for night
operations but does have following limitations:
• The sight requires some night light (moonlight, starlight, etc.) to
operate. Night light is reduced by such factors as passing cloud
cover and objects that produce shadows.
• The sight is less effective viewing through rain, fog, sleet, snow,
smoke.
• Under starlight conditions low contrast environments (such as
snowcovered territory, sandy deserts, large bodies of water or
grassy hills) degrade visibility thereby disguising or masking
changes in terrain.
• Under too low-light conditions the sight looses some of the reso-
lution that it has under full moon.
