WARNING!  
Never operate your night vision device at daylight  
without the lens cover on! Never direct the  
lens to bright light!  
The functional device scheme is given on the figure 1 (see  
the Exhibit A).  
In daylight, the handle (5) is set into the position DAY,  
setting the switching mechanism into position (4a). Light  
filter (1) must be removed from the objective (2). Visible  
image that is formed by the objective (2) is projected onto  
the reticle (7) through the collective lens (3) and lens system  
(6). It can be viewed through the eyepiece (11) together with  
the aiming marks.  
If the aiming marks on the reticle (7) are not seen well, turn  
the switch SA1 into ON position. The light diode VD1  
illuminates the reticle (7). You can adjust the brightness of  
the aiming marks by the resistor R1.  
6
 
During night and in dusk turn the handle (5) into position  
NIGHT. This sets the switching mechanism into position  
(4b), when the image intensifier A2 replaces the lens (3) in  
the aiming channel. Internal micro switcher SA2 is  
connected mechanically with the handle (5).  
Now, when you turn the switch SA1 into ON position, the  
power from batteries G1 and G2 is applied to the image  
intensifier A2. Visible image from the image intensifier  
screen (13) is projected onto the reticle (7) and is viewed  
through the eyepiece (11) together with the aiming marks.  
In twilight, the light filter (1) should be on the objective (2)  
for image intensifier protection from light overloads.  
The sight consists of following components: objective (2)  
(figure 2) with mounted light filter (1), switching  
mechanism (4), eyepiece (14), and interchangeable mount  
(17) with fixing mechanism.  
The rubber eye shade (16) eases the eye orientation  
relatively to sight eye relief, and protects the eye from  
recoil. It is fixed on the eyepiece (14) with the clutch (15).  
7
 
Two rechargeable or non-rechargeable batteries of AA type  
are organized in a battery pack (5), which is placed into the  
battery compartment (6) and closed by cover (7). To fix the  
cover (7), turn the latch (8) counter clockwise.  
The sight has following controls (see figure 2):  
the ON/OFF switch (10) for turning on the reticle  
illumination and image intensifier (SA1 on figure 1);  
the DAY/NIGHT handle (9) for setting the switching  
mechanism (4) into the day or night operating mode;  
the hand wheel (3) for smooth brightness adjustment  
of the reticle;  
the hand wheel (12) for elevation adjustment;  
the screw (13) for windage adjustment.

TOOLS AND ACCESSORIES  
Battery control module should be used for the field  
inspection of the batteries. It has four LEDs on the front  
panel. Numbers “1.1”, “1.2”, “1.3”, “1.4”, which are  
marked near the LEDs, indicate battery voltage in  
Volts. The accuracy of voltage measurement is 0.1 V.  
The wrench key is designated for turning the windage  
screw (13).  
The protected rubber eye shade from the accessories kit  
is used instead of the standard eye shade (16). It is  
designed for night work under conditions that require  
high level of camouflage. It hides the green light spot  
on the shooter’s face, when the shooter is not aiming.  
The soft cloth is intended for cleaning of the external  
surfaces of optical components, contacts, and battery  
control module.  
The bag is intended for packing up the sight and its  
protection while carrying and transporting.  
The cover is used when the sight is transported being  
mounted on a weapon.  
The accessories are stored inside the cover.

6.2 General Instructions  
Prior to usage, be sure that you understand the sight controls  
and fixing mechanism.  
If the sight was in storage, clean optical components with  
napkin. Remove the lubricant from the metallic surfaces.  
In conditions that require high level of camouflage at night  
time, set the protected eyeshade on the sight in the following  
order:  
-
-
-
-
-
-
unclasp the clutch (15) (figure 2);  
take off the eyeshade (16) together with the clutch (15);  
put the eyeshade (16) into the case;  
take the protected eyeshade from the kit;  
put the clutch (15) on the eyeshade;  
fit the eyeshade to the eyepiece frame, stretching it a  
little;  
-
fasten the clutch.  
If the outside temperature is below zero, keep the battery  
pack in the inner pocket of your clothes.  
Check the voltage of the single battery in the following  
order:  
-
place the power supply into the battery control module,  
keeping the polarity right up;  
-
if any LED is on, the battery is charged, if it is not, then  
the battery is discharged and must be replaced.  
Install the battery pack on the sight in the following order:  
11  
 
-
place the ON/OFF switch into the position OFF;  
Visibility decreases and / or disappears.  
Bright light sources (moon, projectors or headlights) may  
result in visibility degradation or even complete  
disappearance. If this happens move the scope away from  
the light source immediately. The image should be restored  
in within 2 minutes.  
Poor atmospheric conditions such as fog haze or extremely  
dark environments will decrease the visibility distance as  
well.  
-
Place the handle DAY/NIGHT (9) into the position  
DAY;  
-
-
-
Open the cover (7) by turning the latch (8) clockwise;  
Take out the battery pack (5);  
Place two charged batteries or two AA cells into the  
battery pack (5), observing the marked polarity;  
Locate the groove on the top side of the pack and place  
it into the compartment. The battery pack must slide  
effortlessly into the compartment;  
-
-
-
Close the cover (7) by turning the latch (8) counter  
clockwise.  
Put the light filter (1) on the objective (2). Set the  
DAY/NIGHT handle (9) into the position NIGHT, turn  
on the ON/OFF switch (10) and put the hand wheel (3)  
into the middle position. You should see the aiming  
marks on the yellow-green background;  
12  
 
-

mount type “dovetail”;  
-
Move the sight forward up to the stop and fix it, turning  
the handle (23) forward up to the total fixation on the  
mount (18). The sight should be screwed tightly to the  
mount;  
-
If the sight is not fixed tightly, take the sight off the  
weapon and regulate the clutch on the mount. For this  
purpose take off the latch (21) and assure that the  
handle (23) is placed on the number of jags that provide  
tight fixation of the sight, then place the latch (21) back  
on its place.  
6.4 Mounting on weapon (Weaver Mount)

7.  
MAINTENANCE  
Keep the sight clean from the dust and dirt while operating.  
Surfaces of the optical components should be always clean.  
Clean the glass surfaces with flannel or cotton wool  
saturated with ethanol or special cleaning solvent to remove  
grease.  
-
Wind a bit of a cotton wool at the end of wooden  
spatula;  
-
-
Wet cotton with the solvent;  
Wipe the glass by wetted cotton, not touching the  
frame;  
-
Change the wool to a dry piece and finish cleaning by  
circular motions from center to edge.  
While cleaning, be careful to not afford the solvent to  
penetrate under the frame. This will lead to the dissolution  
of the jointing putty and breaking of the sight sealing.  
To remove dirt from the battery pack contact plates, battery  
pack and from the contacts of the control module YK-  
battery use the similar procedure.  
It is necessary to keep maintenance of the sight to provide  
constant readiness and reliability, increase durability, and  
remove the signs of untimely wear and tear and damage of  
the component units and parts.

STORAGE  
When preparing the unit for long-term storage, it is  
necessary to perform corrosion proofing with a special  
lubricant. Each 4 (four) years the lubricant should be  
renewed to fully protect the device from corrosion. During  
this operation the rest of previous lubricant coating should  
be removed, and all metal surfaces should be degreased by a  
cotton-wool cloth moistened in benzene. The new lubricant  
coating should be applied after degreasing with a brush. The  
plastic surfaces don’t require anti-corrosion coating.  
When preparing for long-term storage the NVS 10MGs  
received from the manufacturer or from the workshops, it is  
necessary to check the completeness of equipment by  
comparing what is available with the list of components in  
the this document. The reliability of NVS 10 MG  
attachments to weapon and parameters of adjustment by  
azimuth and elevation should be checked with NVS 10MG  
mounted on the weapon  
When stored, the cases with NVS 10MGs should be placed  
on stands, shelves or in cupboards at a dry, heated and  
ventilated premise. The temperature at the premise shall be  
between +5C and +35C, relative humidity — not more than  
55% at temperature +25C.  
17  
 
It’s allowed to store the units in transportation case at  
temperatures up to 70C (158 F) for not more than 10 hours.  
It is unacceptable to place the NVS 10MGs on the floor,  
near stoves and windows that let through direct sunrays.  
Presence of acid and alkaline vapour, as well as of other  
aggressive admixtures in the air is unacceptable.  
After a 4-year period of storage, it is necessary to perform  
thorough check-up of the NVS 10MGs’ functionality.
