The AGM PVS-7 NL2 Gen 2 Level 2 Night Vision Bi-Ocular is a durable, weather-resistant night vision imaging device modeled on the NV system used by the US Armed Forces. Equipped with automatic brightness control, the PVS-7's circuitry automatically adjusts the brightness level of the image tube in varying light conditions. This device is lightweight, rugged, and built to withstand the rigors of use in extreme situations, delivering exceptional gain and resolution on the darkest of nights.
The tube is designated as Level 2: the user may see some spots on the peripheral of the view, but the center will be clear. The bi-ocular viewing configuration provides easy viewing with both eyes while reducing weight and bulk. An array of accessories are included, such as a head mount assembly, demist shields, and a sacrificial lens to enhance the PVS-7's usability and improve its longevity.
- Gen 2 intensifier tube
- Gen 2 tubes offer longer useful ranges than Gen 1, with better resolution, cleaner and brighter images, and lower susceptibility to blooming and distortion
- "Level 2" tube condition indicates that the user may see some spots on the peripheral of the view, but the center will be clear
- Compact 27mm f/1.2 lens system
- 1x magnification ensures a wide field of view
- Wide 40° field of view
- Short 8" minimum focus distance enables user to perform tasks in the dark
- -6 to +2 diopter adjustment keeps views sharp and clear even when the user's vision isn't perfect
- Compact & rugged design can withstand harsh environments and intense use
- Waterproof against driving rain and snow for use in hostile conditions
- Can be used handheld or mounted to a head or helmet
- Built-in infrared illuminator provides invisible illumination without giving away a user's position, with a flood lens for close work
- Bright light cut-off prevents damage to intensifier tube and user's eye
- Automatic brightness control adjusts display brightness to ensure clear views without oversaturation or giving away the user's position
- Flip-up shut-off for use with the optional helmet mount system
- In-view LED indicators for low battery, IR illuminator on, and excessive light conditions
- Runs on two AA alkaline or one BA-5567/ U lithium battery
- Operating battery runtime of up to 60 hours at 68°F
- Head mount assembly enables the NVD to be worn on the head without a helmet
- Winged rubber eye cups conform to the user's eye socket to improve the view, prevent peripheral light from interfering with the view, and eliminates the possibility of other from seeing the display glow
- Soft carrying case with a removable shoulder strap
- Sacrificial window protects the objective lens and coatings from impact damage, dust, sand and other airborne abrasives, replaceable if needed
- Demist Shields: Snaps onto the eye piece to prevent condensation from forming on the optics during rapid temperature changes during heavy and/or long use. Ideal in constantly humid or maritime environments and desert locations where the temperature can change dramatically between dusk and dawn
- Daylight filter fits over the objective lens and reduces light input to a safe (night-time) level, allowing safe extended daytime use—ideal for training
