  PERFORMANCE

  Standard green and amber Aiming Post Lamps produce
  330 µL and 160 µL respectively enabling visibility with
  the naked eye at up to 200 m in starlight conditions when
  viewed directly through the lens. The lens limits the angle
  of viewing to 7.5° to ensure security. Lamp output is not
  affected by temperature, humidity or altitude.

  TYPICAL APPLICATIONS

• Mortar alignment: using alternate green and orange
  Lamps, a series of mortars can be aligned by sitting a
  Lamp in front of each weapon on a reference bearing.
  Used with a Dial Sight, mortar alignment can be
  accurately maintained.
• Field artillery alignment: a pair of Lamps, together with
  a Dial sight is used to set up filed artillery in darkness.
  The Lamps are placed in line at measured distances
  from the weapon, enabling accurate maintenance of
  alignment.
• Gun aiming point for AFVs, readily established in
  daylight, with colours enabling differentiation between
  troops and weapons.
  
  

• FIXING

  The Lamp assembly can be supplied with a choice of robust,
  adjustable clamps to facilitate easy fixing to either round or
  square section supports from 13 mm to 38 mm
  in diameter.

  MATERIALS

  Lamps are encased in polyamide (DIN 7228) black, the lens
  is acrylic. Clamps are constructed in mild steel and finished
  in military green.

  OUTPUT OPTIONS

  To enable lamp differentiation and speculations, aluminium
  masks are available for clip fitting, directly onto the Lamp.
  Masks incorporate cut out legend in either ‘+’ or ‘-’ shapes
  and are finished matt black. Special legends can be
  produced to customer requirements.
