IMPORTANT INFORMATION Read prior to activation You have just purchased a sophisticated electronic device. To operate it properly, please read this manual carefully. LAM belongs to Class 3b laser products in accordance with IEC 60825-1. This radiation is hazardous for your eyes. Here are some common precautions that must be observed. Avoid any exposure of the eye to direct or closely reflected laser beam. Naked skin exposure to laser beam is not recommended.
NEVER reverse polarity of the battery ALWAYS make sure that the device is fixed firmly on the weapon ALWAYS remove battery when not in use for a long period ALWAYS store in a warm dry place when not in use ALWAYS clean output windows with soft cloth only ALWAYS check the O-ring when replacing the battery.

Carefully read all the instructions prior to use. Failure to obey the instructions will void the warranty! INVISIBLE LASER RADIATION CLASS 3B LASER PRODUCT 830–860 nm 25 mW, 630-650 nm 8 mW. DON’T LOOK INTO THE BEAM! 1. Brief description LAM laser aimer/illuminator (hereinafter referred as LAM) is designed for precise aiming at day and night. LAM forms an IR laser radiation spot on the target visible by naked eye (red colour) or visible only through the night vision goggles.

LAM consists of three laser emitters – IR aimer (4, Fig. 1), visible aimer (5, Fig.1) and IR illuminator (7, Fig. 1) – combined in one housing (3, Fig. 1) with interaxis distance of 44.8 millimeters. LAM is powered by a lithium battery (CR123 type). The battery is installed between aimer and illuminator and covered with battery compartment cover (6, Fig.1), which is attached to the housing by a rubber band. The junction of battery compartment cover (6, Fig. 1) and housing (3, Fig.
OFF R P IL ILP BT LAM is off Visible aimer is on IR aimer is on Illuminator is on Both IR aimer and Illuminator are on Battery test The LED (14, Fig. 2) in BT mode indicates battery level: solid red LED means the battery charge is normal, if it is blinking - the battery must be replaced. IR channels of LAM can operate at high (H mode) and low (L mode) power levels of laser. Low mode or IR channels are used for training purposes. Appropriate level can be chosen with switch (15, Fig. 2).
High power mode is a health hazard! Lock switch (15, Fig.2) with blocking ring (12, Fig.2) when you do not intend using LAM in high power mode. Use filter with the Red Channel in the training mode LAM can be turned on either with a switch (13, Fig. 2) or with a remote control pressure switch, when it is connected through the remote control connector (16, Fig. 2). When the remote button is connected, switch (15, Fig.
points (depending on the location of LAM on the weapon). For precise shooting you should know the distance to the target and have trajectory correction table for your weapon. The shooter should estimate the distance and determine the shift of the aimer spot in accordance with the correction table. Use illuminator when light conditions do not allow seeing the target in night vision goggles, rifle scope or monocular. There is no need to adjust LAM each time it is remounted on the same Picatinny rail.

4. OPERATION INSTRUCTIONS DANGER! THIS LASER EQUIPMENT IS HAZARDOUS FOR YOUR EYES! Do not look into laser beam with naked eyes or through any optical device. Do not point an active unit at highly reflective surfaces or towards other individuals or animals. Battery installation Ensure the mode switch (13, Fig. 2) is in OFF position. Unscrew battery compartment cover (6, Fig. 1) and insert the battery observing the polarity marked on the body. Screw back the cap (6, Fig. 1) tightly.
Mounting LAM on a weapon Mount LAM on the Picatinny rail using the quick release lever mount (9, Fig. 1) so that the laser emission is directed towards the target; If desired, connect the remote switch cable to the connector (16, Fig. 2) and tighten the nut. Fix the remote switch on the weapon pivot or grip by Velcro tape in place, which would be comfortable for pressing the key. Trim the tape if necessary.
1. 2. 3. 4. Mount LAM on the weapon. Fix the weapon in the aiming rest. Insert the laser bore sight into the barrel. Zero the bore sight in accordance with its operation manual. 5. Set the target at the distance, required for this weapon and this target. 6. Activate LAM in ILP mode. 7. Set minimal divergence of the illuminator channel. 8. Set laser boresight on the aiming mark on the target. 9.
4. 5. 6. 7. 8. Set the minimal divergence of the illuminator channel. Superpose centers of the spots produced by the aimer and illuminator on the aiming mark by rotating adjustment knobs (1, Fig. 1), (17, Fig. 2). Fire the weapon. If point of impact is off the aiming mark adjust windage and elevation by rotating adjustment knobs (1, Fig. 1), (2, Fig. 1), (17, Fig. 2). (Each click of adjustment mechanisms shifts radiation spot by 5 cm on the target at 100 m.
1. 2. 3. 4. Preparing LAM for transportation Turn LAM off by turning operating modes switch (13, Fig. 2) to OFF position. Disconnect the remote switch from the weapon. Loosen quick release lever (9, Fig.1), remove LAM from Picatinny rail.
5. CARE, STORAGE AND TRANSPORTATION General LAM is a sophisticated precise optical instrument equipped with electronics. Therefore, it should be handled with due care. - - Never disassemble LAM. Keep away from direct sunlight, impacts, dust, moisture, and sharp changes of temperature. Do not store LAM at temperatures higher than 70oC (158oF). Keep away from heating appliances and central heating. Do not touch the optical surfaces with fingers. Doing so may damage the anti-reflection coating.
If LAM was exposed to salt water it should be rinsed in fresh water and dried outside at no more than 55oC. Long-term storage When preparing for long-term storage, cover the external metal surfaces of LAM with protective lubricant. Each 4 (four) years old layer of lubricant should be removed and new layer be applied. To remove old layer of lubricant: - Wipe LAM with clean dry cloth, - Degrease metal surfaces of LAM with benzene moistened cloth, - Dry LAM out-of-doors.
2. When preparing for a long-term storage LAM just received from manufacturer or from workshop ensure that actual set is the same as indicated in the Delivery Set section of this manual. 3. Cases with units should be placed on stands, shelves or in cupboards in dry heated and ventilated premises in accordance with Storage conditions as described in Specifications. 4. The temperature range during storage should be between from +5 to +40°С, relative humidity not higher than 55 % at temperature +25°С. 5.
8. Presence of acid and alkaline vapor, as well as of other aggressive admixtures in the air in the storage area may cause damage to LAM. 9. After 4 years of storage, it is necessary to perform thorough inspection of units’ functionality. Transportation When packed, LAMs can be transported by any covered means in accordance with Storage conditions as described in Specifications. When in operation, LAM is to be transported in its case or mounted on a weapon.
6. TROUBLESHOOTING The LED indicator is off when switch is ON. Turn the switch on again. If LAM still does not go ON check that battery is installed properly and has sufficient charge. Replace battery if necessary. Spot shape or size has changed Emitter objective lens is dirty. Flush emitter lens with fresh water and wipe it with soft cloth. If this doesn’t help, send LAM for repair. No radiation when activating LAM with remote switch Turn the mode switch (13, Fig.
