GENERAL INFORMATION
1.1
Introduction:
This manual provides operation and maintenance instructions
for the MUM-14. It also provides specifications and data on
the performance of the monocular. To ensure the safety of
the operator and the correct operation of the monocular it is
recommended that this manual is read carefully in its entirety
before any deployment or field application.
1.2
Equipment Description:
The MUM-14 is a self-contained night vision device that
enables improved night vision using ambient light from sources
in the night sky such as the moon, stars and/or sky glow.
The monocular is comprised of an objective lens, image
intensifier and eyepiece lens. The objective lens collects light
reflected from the night scene and focuses an inverted image
of the scene on the image intensifier. The image intensifier
converts the captured light into a visible image and reinverts the
image which can then be viewed through the eyepiece lens.
The MUM-14 uses the MX-10160 type GEN III image
intensifier and is configured with an optimal gain setting for
most situations. In situations where there is no light at all,
the unit is equipped with an IR flashlight enabling the unit to
operate. Although IR light is invisible to the human eye, it is
detectable by other night vision devices.
Extremely lightweight and versatile, the MUM-14 can be
hand-held, head-mounted, helmet-mounted, camera/camcorder
adapted or weapons mounted as a tactical night scope.
