Delivery set

The delivery set (see Table 1) comprises

Items with * are upon request. Delivery set with a monitor – ANTISVID-2M, delivery set without a monitor – ANTISVID-2.

The set is supplied with an uncharged battery. The battery (accumulator), AC/DC converter, charging unit and monitor can be substituted for similar or with better technical characteristics. The operation of an external LCD monitor is possible only when the instrument is used in combination with AC/DC converter (external power supply unit). While operating from the battery, LCD monitor does not function.

The AC/DC converter is stowed in the tool tray under the device Antisvid-2

Principal of operation.

• Basic operation principle is “cat’s eye” effect (light-reflecting effect) lying in ability of optical objects to reflect probing radiation in opposite direction with angle close to its incidence angle. Semi-conducting laser IR diode (transmitting channel) serves as the source of probing radiation. The reflected signal is registered by sensitive video camera on the basis of interleave transfer sensor 1/3// (reception channel). The Device is developed on non-parallax optical scheme, i.e. with optical alignment of reception and transmitting channels.
• Transmitting channel generates laser beam in the form of vertically located rectangular raster. Ability of illuminating raster can be changed if necessary, depending on distance to surveillance object, for reception of the best image contrast. Image focusing on sharpness is carried out by adjustment of video camera objective.
• Visualization of surveillance objects is carried out through built in pseudo-binocular. In order to receive better images the body of the Device is equipped with fastening and connection for external 7” LCD monitor (delivered on request of the Customer), and also with an external CCIR standard video signal socket for connection with external monitor, video recorder or computer (with video input card).
• The device has the following adjustments: laser radiation power adjustment, adjustment on the sharpness of receiving TV camera, and diopter fine-tuning of pseudo-binocular to operator’s eyesight. Lower part of the Device is provided for 1/4″ screw thread for tripod installation.
• Working with the Device means the scanning of supposing HVSS locations and detection of bright shone points (glares) on the screen of the monitor or view-finder within illuminating raster zone. If these points disappear out of raster zone or by switching off of laser, they should be considered as potential HVSS locations. Any glares which do not disappear after switching off of laser are not considered as HVSS locations.

The appearance of the device is shown in Figure 3.

Preparation for use.

For work with external LCD monitor from 220 B:

• Take out the device, AC/DC converter and LCD monitor from standard packing;
• Connect AC/DC converter to the Device inserting AC/DC converter plug into
• Fix LCD-monitor on the Device inserting its fitting into the slide on Device’s body and fastening by the screw;
• Connect LCD-monitor to “Monitor” socket on Device’s body;
• Insert AC/DC converter plug into power grid socket;
• Switch on the monitor by pressing “POWER” button on the monitor.

For work from storage battery (SB):

• Take out the Device and SB from standard packing;
• If SB is not charged, it is necessary to charge it;
• Place SB into the battery compartment of the Device, unscrewing the compartment screw and removing its cover beforehand;
• Close the battery compartment cover and screw up the fixing screw.

For SB charging with use of a charging unit it is necessary to do the following:

• Unscrew the battery compartment screw and remove the compartment cover;
• Take out the storage battery (SB) from the Device;
• Fix the storage battery in the charging unit (ChU). For this purpose place the battery strictly horizontally into contact platform cavity so that the symbol «◄» on the battery was directed to two contact plugs. Thus two ChU contact plugs should contact the corresponding sockets on the battery. Then move the battery strictly horizontally to the arrow direction «◄» up to the stop so that ChU contact plugs should safely join the sockets on the battery;
• Connect adapter plug to ChU socket;
• Connect the adapter to the power grid;
• On ChU display will be highlighted: signs « TIME OF CHG », «infoLITHIUM» and «FULL». To the right from the sign « TIME OF CHG » figures are located which indicate charging time. Inside the battery sign four dark horizontal strips are located which lighting also roughly shows charge level;
• After the connection to power grid of the adapter with connected ChU and battery, charging process starts. At the same time strips in the battery sign start blinking. Charging timekeeping starts;
• On reaching full charge strip in the battery sign stop blinking. It means that the battery is completely charged.

Recommendations on battery charging.

For charging of lithium-ionic batteries the following rules are to be taken into account: It is not required to discharge the battery before charging, as presence of battery residual charge does not affect its nominal capacity;

• Recommended ambient temperature at charging should be from 10ºC¡ to 30ºC;
• Battery charging is to be carried out on flat surface without vibration;
• During charging ChU can heat up a little. It is normal;
• If completely charged is placed in ChU, the sign “100%” appears in the right lower corner of the display.

Use of the Device.

For work with the Device the following is necessary:

• To switch on the Device, holding the button «ON/OFF» pressed for about 2 seconds;
• Direct the output opening of the Device on controllable object;
• Carry out binocular diopter tuning to operator’s eyesight if necessary, rotating the adjusting ring of each eyeglass. Maximally sharp image of SB charge indicator should be achieved;
• Rotate the ring of receiving TV-camera to achieve maximally sharp image as much on the monitor or binocular;
• Press and release button “Laser” once. At guidance of the Device on walls or floor vertically located rectangular raster of laser lighting should appear in the centre of the observable image;
• Adjust, if necessary, laser raster power depending on distance to observable objects by rotating of laser power adjusting knob. On 1 meter distance the power should be minimal, on 10 m and more – maximal. Thus it is necessary to achieve the best contrast image in raster zone. Interior elements in raster zone should be well observed. It is necessary to consider, that raster contours can be unobservable at high light exposure or on big distances (more than 10 meters). It is admissible and practically does not influence probability of VWS detection.

Switching off of the Device is to be carried out in reverse order.

Safety measures:

Attention! When the Device is switched on, it is necessary to control that the laser beam does not hit operator’s eyes or other persons’ eyes.
