9. t is 550m 6 7 Calculating target s size using angle readings To calculate height and width user will need to estimate the distance to the target and measure its horizontal and vertical angles Then using the formula for distance measurement one can calculate target s height H DxK where K is vertical angle in mils D is distance in meters and H is height in meters For example if distance to the target is 0 6 km and its horizontal angle is 30 mils and its vertical angle is 60 mils using the formula you can calculate The height H 0 6 x 30 18 m The width W 0 6 x 60 36 m 6 8 Compass MC model only The AN 7x50MC model has a built in analogue compass which is visible via the eyepiece A Fig 2 This scale can be illuminated via a projector window 8 Fig 3 If natural illumination is not sufficient pressing the illuminator button 7 Fig 3 will lightup the scale from inside Internal lighting is powered by two tablet batteries LR 43 type If compass scale illumination by ambient light distracts observation cover the projector window 8 Fig 3 with index finger 7 STORAGE AND MAINTENANCE The binoculars are precision optical instruments that should be carefully handled and properly maintained to keep them in a good working order Clean the lenses after each use with special optical cloth Never wipe the lenses with fingers grease may damage the optics coating Never use anything to wipe the le
10. tal angle of cruiser shown in Fig 5 is 130 mils 60 70 130 Vertical angle measurement is similar to horizontal angle measuring When height of the target is smaller than the reticle scale its height can be obtained in one measurement The height of the beacon shown in Fig 6 is 65 mils For targets taller than the reticle scale perform measurement in steps in the same way as it is described for the horizontal angle measurement 6 5 Using the reticle to calculate distance To determine the distance to the target use the formula D HiK where D distance to target in km H estimated height of the target in m K vertical angle of the target in mil First estimate the height or width of the target then measure target s horizontal vertical angle and calculate the distance For example Assuming an image of an adult human figure has a vertical angle of 10 mils and its height is 1 70m we can calculate the distance to it L H K 1 7 10 0 170 km 170 m 6 6 Measuring distance directly using the reticle If reticle of your binoculars has an additional scale shown at Fig 7 distance to a target may be measured directly 15 Fig 7 Place the lower edge ofthe target at the horizontal line on the reticle The reading ofthe scale at the point where target s 2 m level touches the scale is the distance in meters Assuming that vehicle on the Fig 7 is 2 m high the distance to i
