2. Safety Information

  • Eye Safety: Do not look directly into the IR LED when it is active. Infrared light is invisible to the naked eye but can cause eye damage.
  • Electrical Safety: Ensure proper wiring and insulation. Incorrect wiring can damage the LED or the night vision device. Always disconnect power before installation or maintenance.
  • Compatibility: Use only with specified Henbaker night vision models. Using with incompatible devices may cause damage.
  • Handling: Handle the LED module carefully to avoid damaging the delicate electronic components.

4. Setup Instructions

The Henbaker IR LED is a component designed for integration into specific Henbaker night vision devices. Installation typically involves replacing or adding an IR emitter. Professional installation is recommended if you are unfamiliar with electronics or soldering.

4.1 Identifying Your IR LED

  • 850nm IR LED: Features red and black wires. Emits a faint red glow visible to the human eye. Offers longer range illumination.
  • 940nm IR LED: Features blue and red wires. Emits no visible light, making it completely covert. Offers shorter range illumination compared to 850nm.

4.2 Wiring the IR LED

Each IR LED module has clearly marked positive (+) and negative (-) terminals. Ensure correct polarity when connecting to your night vision device's power source.

  1. Power Off: Ensure your night vision device is completely powered off and disconnected from any power source.
  2. Access IR Emitter Bay: Carefully open your night vision device to access the existing IR emitter or the designated bay for the new IR LED. Refer to your specific night vision device's manual for detailed instructions on accessing internal components.
  3. Remove Old LED (if applicable): If replacing an existing LED, carefully desolder or disconnect the old IR emitter.
  4. Connect New LED: Solder or connect the wires of the new Henbaker IR LED to the corresponding positive (+) and negative (-) terminals on your night vision device's circuit board. Double-check polarity.
  5. Secure LED: Mount the new IR LED securely within the device, ensuring it is properly aligned and does not interfere with other components.
  6. Reassemble: Carefully reassemble your night vision device, ensuring all connections are secure and no wires are pinched.

5. Operating Instructions

Once the IR LED accessory is correctly installed, its operation is integrated with your Henbaker night vision device.

  1. Power On: Turn on your Henbaker night vision rifle scope as per its operating instructions.
  2. Activate IR: Activate the IR illuminator function on your night vision device. This will power the newly installed IR LED.
  3. Adjust Settings: Use the brightness or intensity controls on your night vision device to adjust the IR output as needed for optimal viewing in various low-light conditions.
  4. Observe: The IR LED will provide invisible (940nm) or near-invisible (850nm) illumination, allowing your night vision device to 'see' in complete darkness.

6. Maintenance

  • Cleaning: Keep the surface of the IR LED clean and free from dust or debris. Use a soft, dry cloth to gently wipe the LED surface. Avoid abrasive materials or harsh chemicals.
  • Storage: When not in use, store the night vision device with the installed IR LED in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures.
  • Inspection: Periodically inspect the wiring and connections for any signs of wear or damage.

7. Troubleshooting

  • IR LED not illuminating:
    • Check if the night vision device is powered on and the IR function is activated.
    • Verify all wiring connections for correct polarity and secure contact.
    • Ensure the IR LED itself is not damaged.
  • Poor night vision performance:
    • Clean the IR LED surface and the lens of your night vision device.
    • Adjust the IR intensity settings on your night vision scope.
    • Ensure you have selected the appropriate IR wavelength (850nm for longer range, 940nm for covertness).
  • LED power (wattage) concerns: The power output of the LED is designed to be compatible with the specified Henbaker devices. If you experience issues related to power, ensure your device's battery is fully charged and functioning correctly.

8. User Tips

  • Choosing Wavelength: If maximum illumination range is your priority and a faint red glow is acceptable, opt for the 850nm IR LED. For completely covert operation where no visible light signature is desired, the 940nm IR LED is ideal, though it offers a slightly shorter effective range.
  • Pard NV007A Compatibility: This IR LED is specifically designed for Henbaker models. Compatibility with other brands like Pard NV007A is not guaranteed and may require significant modification or may not work at all. Always verify compatibility before attempting installation on non-Henbaker devices.
  • Replacement Parts: For electrical replacement parts or specific components for your Henbaker device, it is recommended to contact the original manufacturer or an authorized service center.

9. Warranty and Support

For warranty information and technical support regarding your Henbaker IR LED accessory, please refer to the documentation provided with your original purchase or contact the seller directly. Keep your proof of purchase for any warranty claims.
