Can bright sunlight damage a Pulsar thermal imager?
Quick answer
Avoid exposing your device to direct sunlight or laser radiation, and don’t use it in temperatures above +50 °С to avoid any damage.
Yes, but only under specific conditions. We strongly recommend avoiding exposure to powerful energy sources such as the sun or laser radiation when the lens cap is open, as these can negatively impact the device’s accuracy.
Additionally, while Pulsar thermal imagers are designed to operate in temperatures up to +50 °С, using them in higher temperatures may cause damage.

What is zoom zeroing used for?Zoom zeroing enhances the precision of riflescope zeroing by allowing adjustments while the scope is zoomed in. For instance, at 2x magnification, the click value becomes twice as small (e.g., 1.6x2=3.2). Similarly, at 4x magnification, the click value reduces to one-fourth. This allows for finer adjustments to the point of impact, resulting in a more accurately zeroed riflescope. Click values for each scope are detailed in the reticle catalog or user manual.
