IR Illuminator I have an model that looks identical to the Piezo. It has an external IR Illuminator that requires batteries. I pulled up the users manual for the piezo and the "N" type battery is not it. What battery do I need? I cannot find what type of ZenitNV I have anywhere.

No it is Piezo Electric. No battery in the manual either. The battery operated ones have a button that you have to press to ignite and the battery a single AA hides under the button. Piezo make a big clunk when you turn the knob, but with a battery, it goes click, click, click.

Having said that, this page mentions a battery, but I think it is a mistake. Phone them up.

Contact the Distributor. The infra-red light source has failed.

There are only 6 versions of night vision showing, it sounded like you said f5, but the only one that looks like yours is a FT 300.

This requires a 3V lithium battery, you must make sure it's lithium .

Duracell D/L 1/3 N , radio shack 23265, Eveready 2L-76.

Here are the instructions, '

To use, depress the Energizer button, and release. A gradual fading of the image is typical. Press the Energizer button again to re-power. If your unit includes a self-energizingpower source (i.e., does not require batteries), simply depress and release the top lever one time and repeat as necessary.3.The infrared (IR) illuminator works to enhance the available ambient light in areas of extreme darkness, or brighten the electronic image in very dim ambient light. Utilize as needed by depressing the IR button (next to the Energizer button onmost units). Also, please note that on self-energizing units only, the detachable IR illuminator requires a 3-volt lithium battery.

Let me say that this is not a IF, infra red, Infra-red picks of heat from the environment, so when you look at something say a person you see their body heat, they cost thousands.

This is just a night vision, it does not even say what GEN this is.

There are three GEN's, GEN 1, GEN 2, GEN 3.

GEN 1 is cheap, GEN 3 is expensive. Starlight is the best, but your looking at spending 3000,00 for a good one.

Don't expect this one to be that good.
Here is the manual.

I sound like the Russian manufactured image intensifier tube has gone bad. This Kalinka Zenith Piezon Russian NV monocular was and is manufactured in Russia. Have tried to use piezo handle on the top of the monocular. This is suspose to eliminate the battery for operation by using you hand and finger to pull down on the handle many time to charge up some capacitor and diodes.. GB...stewbison

Hello, Is there two switches on the NV monocular? If so, one is for the IR illuminator and other is for turn the scope off/on. Also, does each switch have a LED associated with it? Green for turning on the monocular and red LED when the IR illuminator is on. Now the IR switch is a momentary switch once you push on the button it turn on IR. If you release the IR button it turns off the IR..


What do you mean by green lightening storm in the view finder? Generation 1 image intensifier tubes when ignited by 15KV it will glow green in the tube. If you look through the eye pieces there will be a green glow with fluctuating intensity as bright light impact the plate in the image tube. GB...stewbison

Hello, is the IR illuninator tube seperate from the ATN Aries rifle scope? If it is, then check the battery, ok. If the battery is ok, then check the polarity of the IR lumin. Make sure the battery is installed properly.

I hope it works, then you can take look see in the dark. Then maybe to can see some widgits. Don't mess with them, they will the smoke out, stewbison

It a good possible that ITT uses 3 volt CR123A. Maybe two of them or 2 double "AA's" stewbison

Hello - nice looking scope and with 100 % rave reviews.
Not much to adjust really - cover off , battery inserted , turn on - adjust brightness. IR illuminator on'off.
I've just read through page 5 on user manual - at least they have a 2 yr warrantee and some phone numbers to get support.
Here is user manual / guide + trouble shooting tips. http://www.nightvisiongear.com/documents/Aries390PaladinNightVisionRifleScope.pdf
A simple test is looking at a distant street light - just incase the 'amplifier' is very sensitive. (that causes BLACK spots) .
If the amp is damaged , they would have a test -- Ray

It needs a new IR illuminator bulb or LED...stewbison

Go to; www.rugift.com , they are the dealer for these russian NV. It may be that they can repair it or give you clues as to how to fix the problem.

Good luck. :)
