SAFETY SUMMARY
This product contains natural rubber latex, which may cause potentially
fatal allergic reactions! If you are allergic to latex, it is important that
you strictly avoid exposure to products that contain it.
WARNINGS
The intensifier’s phosphor screen contains toxic materials. If the intensifier
tube breaks, be extremely careful to avoid inhaling the phosphor screen
material. DO NOT allow the material to come in contact with your mouth, eyes,
or any open wounds on the skin. If the phosphor screen material comes in
contact with your skin, wash it off immediately with soap and water. If you
inhale or swallow any phosphor screen material, drink a lot of water, induce
vomiting, and seek medical attention as soon as possible. When used in total
darkness, the light from the unit’s infrared (IR) illuminator is invisible to
the naked eye. However, the light can be detected by other Night Vision
Devices (NVD). To reduce the risk of detection by another NVD, avoid prolonged
use of the IR illuminator. Light from the IR illuminator is more easily
detected by other NVDs when used in fog, smoke, and rain. Avoid prolonged use
of the IR illuminator in these conditions. Do not use the contaminated eye
cups. If contaminated, they must be replaced.

humidity. The device can be outfitted with either a Gen 2+ or Gen 3 high-
performance image intensifier tube (IIT), which can be repaired or upgraded
easily. The bright light shut-off feature ensures that the high-quality
photocathode tube is protected. The FoxBat-LE is also equipped with Automatic
Brightness Control (ABC), which adjusts the image brightness automatically,
providing the highest possible image quality even in changing light
conditions. FoxBat-LE is supplied with two AA batteries and its operating time
is up to 40 hours of continuous use.
FOXBAT-LE NIGHT VISION BI-OCULARS LINE
OPERATION PRINCIPLES
MECHANICAL FUNCTIONS
The FoxBat-LE includes mechanical adjustments to accommodate physical differences between individual users. Functional features include the power
OPTICAL FUNCTIONS
The optical functions include an objective lens, image intensifier, a collimator lens, and two eyepieces. The objective lens collects light reflected from the moon, stars, or other ambient light in the environment, and inverts and focuses an image of the scene onto the image intensifier. The image intensifier converts the captured light into a visible image, re- inverting it so that can be viewed though eyepiece lens.
ELECTRICAL FUNCTIONS
Power Source
The electronic circuit is powered by replaceable batteries; you have the
option of using either a 3.0 Volt Lithium battery BA-5567/U or two AA 1.5 Volt
Alkaline batteries BA-3O5S/U. The Sioux850 detachable long-range infrared IR
illuminator is powered by a separate 18650 rechargeable battery.
Function Switch
Power from the batteries is supplied to the components through the function switch as follows
- RESET/OFF Position. With the switch in the OFF position, the circuit will not supply energy to the image intensifier or the IR illuminator. You can also turn the switch to this position to reset your device after automatic shut-off or bright light cutoff.
- ON Position. Energy is drawn from the battery compartment to power the bi-ocular. When the voltage drops to 2.4 VDC, a low battery indicator will begin to blink on the right side of the eyepiece, indicating approximately 30 minutes of remaining power.
- IR/PULL Position. Energy is drawn from the battery compartment to power the bi-ocular and built-in IR light source, and a steady red indicator light will appear in the left side region of the eyepiece. The IR can be activated momentarily by turning the switch ON without pulling the knob.
Bright Light Cutoff
The bi-ocular will automatically shut off after 70 ±30 seconds of operation in
daylight or bright room light. Individual bright lights (headlights,
flashlights, or other concentrated light sources) will not activate this
function, unless the high light detector on the front of the bi-ocular is
pointed directly at the light source. To turn the bi-ocular back on in the
event that this function is triggered, flip the switch to RESET/OFF and then
back to ON again.

INSTALLATION OF BATTERIES
WARNING
The Lithium battery contains sulphur dioxide gas, which is under pressure. Do
not heat, puncture, disassemble, short circuit, attempt to recharge, or
otherwise tamper with the batteries. If the battery compartment becomes
excessively hot, turn off the equipment. If possible, wait until the batteries
have cooled before removing them. These types of batteries have safety vents
to prevent explosion. When they are venting gas, they release a very potent
smell, and you may hear the sound of gas escaping. When the safety vents have
worked correctly, the risk of explosion is significantly reduced. However, the
batteries must still be handled with extreme care due to high heat and
remaining risk. If you inhale sulphur dioxide, seek medical attention
immediately. The FoxBat-LE can be powered with either of the two battery types
identified in Table 2-2. Batteries are not supplied with the FoxBat-LE and
must be purchased by the user.
