2.1 SYSTEM dESCRIPTION
The ATN PS-15 is a hand-held, head-mounted or helmet-
mounted night vision system that enables walking, short-range
surveillance, map reading, vehicle maintenance, and adminis-
tering first aid in both moonlight and starlight. Each unit allows
for vertical adjustment (by using head straps), fore-and-aft
adjustment, objective lens focus, and eyepiece focus. The
device is also equipped with an infrared light-emitting source.
Optional 3X Afocal Lenses makes the ATN PS-15 into binocular
with enhanced range performance.
PS-15 Night Vision goggles utilize the principle of intensifica-
tion of the residual light which is reflected from the surrounding
objects. The optical system of the goggles consists of: an objec-
tive lens, an image intensifier tube and an eyepiece.
Even under unsteady brightness conditions, Automatic Bright-
ness Adjustment System always keeps the IIT brightness level
constant.
The Automatic Protective System controls the existing illumina-
tion level through the photo receiver. If the illumination level sur-
passes 100-300 lx for the following 10 seconds, the goggles will
shut off automatically. If you move the unit away from the bright/
excessive light the unit will turn back on again. The Automatic
Protective System can be switch off for test the unit in the day-
light with protective cups on the lens.
Built-in IR Illuminator makes it possible to observe the objects
when the goggles work in the conditions of low light or total dark-
ness.
The eyepiece incorporates several LED indicators:
- RED – serves as an IR Illuminator Indicator and an Battery Low
Indicator at a time. IR is on when the indicator light becomes
stable. If the indicator light starts flickering, it means there might
be about 20% of battery charge left.
- GREEN – serves as an Excessive Brightness Indicator. If the
bright light remains unchanged for over 10 seconds after the

indicator turns on, the goggles will automatically shut-off. The
indicator light starts slowly flickering when the Automatic Pro-
tective System is off.
The Automatic Shut-off System turn the unit off if the operation
control not used more then 60 minutes.

C. INFRAREd (IR) ILLUMINATOR OPERATIONS
CAUTION
The IR illuminator is a light source that is invisible to the
unaided eye made use of in the conditions of extreme
darkness. Please keep in mind this illuminator functioning
can be easily detected by other people who use night vision
devices, too.
NOTE
The IR illuminator principally serves to let you see in the
scarcely-lit surroundings at a viewing range of up to 3 meters
optimally.
IR Illuminator gets activated when the operation knob is in “IR”
position. A red light appears in the eyepiece to indicate that the
IR illuminator is operating.
By shifting the focusing lens of the IR pivot plate (B) to cover
the IR illuminator window (C) you can focus the IR into a
spotting position and at a time extend the IR useful range of
observation.

5-1 ZEROING OPERATIONAL dEFECTS
Operational defects refer to the reliability of the image inten-
sifiers and are an evidence of instability. Their identification
shall be a valid reason to immediately refuse to accept the ATN
PS-15. These include shading, edge glow, flashing, flickering,
and intermittent operation.
A. SHAdING
If shading is persistent, you will not see a fully circular image
(Figure 5-1). Shading is very dark and you cannot see an image
through it. Shading always begins on the edge and migrates
inward eventually across the entire image area. Shading is a
high contrast area with a distinct line of demarcation. Contact
ATN or point of purchase for warranty/repair procedures.
Figure 5-1
Shading
NOTE
Make sure the shading is not the result of improper exit pupil
position.

B. EdGE GLOW
Edge glow is a bright area (sometimes sparkling) in the outer
portion of the viewing area (see Figure 5-2). To check for edge
glow, block out all light by cupping a hand over the lenses. If the
image tubes are displaying edge glow the bright area will still
show up. Contact ATN or point of purchase for warranty/repair
procedures.
Figure 5-2
Edge Glow
C. FLASHING, FLICKERING, OR INTERMITTENT
OPERATION
The image may appear to flicker or flash. If there is more than
one flicker, check for loose battery adapter or weak battery.
Contact ATN or point of purchase for warranty/repair proce-
dures.
d. COSMETIC BLEMISHES
These are usually the result of manufacturing imperfections that
do not affect image intensifiers reliability and are not normally
a reason to claim for warranty or repair work. However, some
types of blemishes can get worse over time and interfere with
the usability of the device. If you believe a blemish is a cause for

rejection, warranty or repair please ATN or point of purchase for
warranty/repair procedures.
1. Bright Spots.
A bright spot is a small, non-uniform, bright area that may flicker
or appear constant (Figure 5-3).
Not all bright spots make the ATN PS-15 rejectable. Cup your
hand over the lenses to block out all light. If the bright spot
remains, return the ATN PS-15. Bright spots usually go away
when the light is blocked out. Make sure any bright spot is not
simply a bright area in the scene you are viewing. Bright spots
are acceptable if they do not interfere with the ability to
view the outside scene.
2. Emission Points.
A steady or fluctuating pinpoint of bright light in the image
area and does not go away when all light is blocked from the
objective lenses of the goggles (Figure 5-3). The position of
an emission point within the image area does not move. Not all
emission points make the ATN PS-15 rejectable. Make sure any
emission point is not simply a point light source in the scene

you are viewing. Emission points are acceptable if they do
not interfere with the usability of the device.
3. Black Spots.
These are cosmetic blemishes in the image intensifiers or dirt
or debris between the lenses. Black spots are acceptable as
long as they do not interfere with viewing the image. No action
is required if this condition is present unless the spots
interfere with the usability of the device.
4. Fixed-Pattern Noise.
This is usually a cosmetic blemish characterized by a faint
hexagonal (honeycomb) pattern throughout the viewing area
that most often occurs at high light levels or when viewing
very bright lights (See Figure 5-4). This pattern can be seen
in every image intensifier if the light level is high enough. This
condition is acceptable as long as the pattern does not
interfere with viewing the image and usability of the device.
Figure 5-4
Fixed-Pattern Noise
5. Chicken Wire.
An irregular pattern of dark thin lines in the field of view either
throughout the image area or in parts of the image area (See
Figure 5-5). Under the worst-case condition, these lines will form
hexagonal or square-wave shaped lines. This is typically viewed
in high light conditions. No action is required if this condition
