Quantum Thermal Imaging Devices
No. The automatic calibration was introduced in later Quantum models. It is only possible with a built-in aperture, which the HD38 model does not have.
Please check the connections first. It is often due to the video output being disabled in the menu. Make sure the correct signal standard (PAL or NTSC) is selected.
No. Thermal imaging devices operate in the 8–13 μm range, and this radiation is blocked by glass.
Calibration compensates for the temperature of the microbolometer and corrects image errors (e.g., lines, ghosting). The longer the device runs continuously, the less often calibration is necessary.
Yes, in manual mode. Cover the lens with the protective cap or your hand before pressing the calibration button. The Quantum offers three calibration modes: manual, automatic, and semi-automatic.
No, the Quantum is not suitable for mounting on weapons.
Yes. Never point the open lens at the sun or strong laser sources – this can damage the optics. Only use the device at temperatures up to a maximum of +50°C.
No. Thermal imaging devices do not emit anything; they only receive thermal radiation from objects. They are completely safe.
No. Thermal imaging devices only detect surface radiation. For example, they can make heat leaks in buildings visible, but they cannot "see through" walls.
The guaranteed repair time is 3 years (in case of warranty). The actual lifespan depends on the components (sensor, display, buttons, etc.) and can be much longer with normal use.
The image refresh rate (Hz) indicates how often the image is updated per second. The higher the value, the smoother the display appears. The minimum value is 9 Hz.
A bright or dark spot may appear if the lens is out of focus, such as when looking at a cloudless sky. This is due to the design and is not a defect.
At low temperatures, the surface temperatures of objects equalize. This reduces the temperature contrast, and the image appears less detailed. This is normal and due to the technology.
Night Vision Attachment Forward DFA
There are compatible adapters for riflescopes with objective lens diameters of 42, 50, and 56 mm.
Specifically: Outer diameter 46.7–50.6 mm and 54.7–65.6 mm.
Yes. The DFA is tested up to 6000 J muzzle energy and can withstand strong calibers.
Yes, it is shockproof and suitable for calibers up to 6000 J.
No, zeroing is not necessary. However, after a strong impact or fall, the point of impact can be checked and adjusted if needed.
No, the point of impact remains the same.
The device provides a high-contrast black-and-white image, with adjustable brightness and contrast.
Either align the reticle and display using the "Horizon" function in the menu.
Or position the display parallel to the reticle by eye.
Measure the outer diameter of the riflescope using calipers.
Select the appropriate adapter ring and insert it into the adapter.
Place the adapter onto the riflescope and tighten it securely.
Alternatively: Use the Smartclip adapter without rings that fit exactly.
We recommend the Pulsar-X850 (850 nm) for maximum range. For "wildlife-safe" observation, the 940 nm emitter is suitable.
Yes, if the parallax is set to 100 meters.
This corrects the height deviation between the optical axis of the attachment and that of the riflescope. The device is factory-set to 100 meters. Corrections can be made for other distances (15–300 m). Deviations remain minimal (e.g., only ±2 cm at 50 or 150 meters).
