INTRODUCTION

Thank you for purchasing a new EOTECH magnifier. These 

magnifiers offer users of the Holographic Weapon Sight (all 

models) the additional advantage of vastly improved target rec-

ognition and increased lethality at medium range distances. The 

STS mount allows the user the ability to engage the enemy with confidence in a Close Quarters Battle (CQB) 

situation or at distances out to 600 meters or more. This user manual describes the features of the EOTECH 

Magnifiers and provides information on their use and maintenance. Please read the instructions carefully 

before mounting and using the magnifier. Always practice proper firearm safety.

OPTIC CONFIGURATION 

 

The  EOTECH Holographic Weapon Sight (HWS) 

product line has two different heights above the rail 

based on user preference.  For this reason, the mag-

nifier does not come preassembled to the mount. 

It is user configurable based on the specific model 

HWS it will be mounted behind. The 7mm riser, 

included, may be required to align the magnifier 

optical axis with the sight. Only HWS models with 

side buttons or quick detach levers require the use of 

the riser. For all other HWS models, the riser should 

not be used. 

The magnifier system can be configured to switch to the left or to the right based on shooting preference. 

Typically, right handed shooters prefer the mount to switch to the right, and left handed shooters to the left. 

To configure your HWS you will need a screwdriver (not included). If the riser is not used, the shorter screws 

should be selected. The longer screws are used with the riser only. If the riser is being used, place the riser 

on the optic mounting interface.  Open the STS mount. Position the mount on the optic mount interface (or 

riser) so it opens either to the left or right (based on preference).  Insert each screw through the components, 

and tighten securely.  If using a torque wrench, the screws should be tightened to 24 in-lbs.  Note: If you 

purchased the magnifier as part of an HHS combo kit, the screw pack will not be included as the magnifer 

comes preassmbled.

BASIC OPERATION

 

The G-Series magnifiers are designed to be used behind an EOTECH Holographic Weapon Sight (HWS). The 

magnifier can be mounted directly behind the HWS. Simply switch the magnifier out of the way and operate 

the sight. When used with HWS models 518, 558, 556, 517, EXPS or 516 HWS (with side button interface) the 

user can easily operate the sight even with the magnifier in the locked position.

Positioning the Reticle:

Once the magnifier is installed properly behind the HWS, it may be necessary to re-zero the sight. This may 

be due to the shooter’s ability to see the target and Point of Impact (POI) more accurately than without the 

magnifier. Re-zeroing the sight will prevent a perceived shift in POI when going from no magnification to 

magnification.

RETICLE POSITION ADJUSTMENTS

After zeroing or re-zeroing the sight, it may be necessary to reposition the reticle image into the center of the 

magnifier window. This is aesthetic in nature and has no affect on the sight’s zero. Turn the horizontal and 

vertical adjustments on the top or side of 

the magnifier by hand, with a coin or a 

flat head screwdriver to reposition reticle 

to the desired position. 

SWITCH OPERATION

To switch the magnifier to the side, 

simply push the optic to the right or left, 

depending on how it is mounted. To close 

the mount, push the magnifier back into 

its original position until a hard stop is 

achieved.

ADJUSTABLE DIOPTER

The optic includes an adjustable diopter that allows the user to customize the 

focus to their particular vision.  This feature ensures a crisp, clean aiming dot 

for more precision and shot placement.  To adjust, simply grasp the diopter 

with the thumb and fore finger and turn either clockwise or counter-clockwise 

until a clear sight picture is achieved.

Note:  Depending on the users vision, you may observe a small change to the 

magnification during diopter adjustment.
