FOCUSING THE INFRARED BEAM:
The illuminator features focusing infrared beam. This feature allows the user to utilize the IR
illuminator in both, enclosed spaces and outdoors. With the beam at its widest setting, the IR is useful
in illuminating more field of view and does not provide blinding effect on its user. When it is important
to extend the effective distance of the IR beam to illuminate the object as far away as possible, the
beam can be narrowed providing more effective illumination at the longest distance.
The width of the IR beam can be adjusted by rotating the focusing ring (1). The IR is shipped with the
beam in its widest position. To narrow the beam width rotate the focusing ring (1) clockwise. You will
notice the front lens will begin to retract and the IR beam width will begin to narrow.
IMPORTANT: as the front lens retracts all the way, there will be a moment when it will become
difficult to rotate it further. STOP at this point and NEVER try to forcefully continue rotating the lens.
This may result in focusing lens assembly being completely removed from the barrel, which could
damage it, if it falls down, and it could allow dirt to enter the inside of the illuminator. If such
situation happens, immediately replace the lens back into the barrel and avoid forcefully rotating it
out of the body again.
MOUNTING THE ILLUMINATOR ONTO THE NIGHT VISION UNIT:
Models LN-EIR850-2 & LN-EIR940-2: Your mounting Bracket (2a) is with the bottom screw. Locate
a rail or a mounting plate on the body of the night vision unit with a threaded hole and attach the
illuminator into that hole by tightening the wheel (2b).
NOTE: the LN-EIR850-2 and LN-EIR940-2 will come with the longer mounting screw installed and a
shorter screw in the internal back pocket of the carry case. Use longer screw for attachment to any
night vision device with the standard ¼” tripod hole. Use shorter screw for attachment to Luna Optics
Elite and Special Purpose night vision riflescopes and monoculars only (models starting with “LN-E” and
“LN-SPRS”). To change the mounting screw, remove the two little screws from the mounting bracket,
change the bottom screw and replace the little screws.
Models LN-EIR850-3 & LN-EIR940-3: Your illuminator features standard Weaver/Picatinny bracket
(2). You can mount the unit directly onto any accessory rail on the weapon, as you would a regular
tactical flashlight and tighten the mount screw.
HORIZONTAL & VERTICAL BEAM ADJUSTMENTS:
This illuminator is supplied with a miniature adjustment wrench, located in the inside back pocket of
the carry case, which you can use to adjust the horizontal and/or vertical position of the infrared beam.
To do so, you should first mount the illuminator onto your specific night vision model and turn on the
night vision unit and this illuminator. You will then see if the illuminator beam is in the center of the
image, or not. If the beam position requires an adjustment, insert the adjustment wrench into
horizontal and/or vertical adjustment holes (3) and gently rotate it in either direction while viewing the
image through your night vision device until the beam is aligned to your liking.
