through 1-18.
- Monocular
with Lens Cap to protect lens.

for high humidity and rain. Degrades visual
acuity.
- Light Interference Filter
(LIF) to protect eyes from lasers.
- Sacrificial Window
to protect monocular lens from dust and
sand scratches.
- Compass
to orient at night.
- Tether Cord
is a dummy cord for compass or 3x Magnifier.
- Head Mount
& (3) Browpads to mount monocular on head.
- Helmet Mount
to mount monocular on helmet
- Head / Helmet Mount Adapter
to attach monocular to mounts.
- Small Arms Mount
to mount monocular to weapon.
- Carrying Case
& Strap to carry monocular.
- Storage Case
to store monocular and all accessories

4. Battery Installation. Either (2) AA Alkaline or (2) AA 1.5V DC
Lithium
5. Indicator Lights
LOW BATTERY. Blinking red dot in eyepiece means less than 30 minutes
of battery life.
IR beacon is ON. Steady red dot in eyepiece
6. Switch
OFF / RESET turns monocular OFF. Resets monocular after automatic
shutoff.
ON turns monocular ON.
IR turns IR beacon ON. Pull and turn. A steady red dot appears.
7. Automatic Shutoff
The monocular shuts off automatically in excessive light, when
monocular is removed from head mount, or when monocular is flipped up
from the helmet mount. To turn monocular back on, turn switch to OFF /
RESET, then back to ON.
8. Monocular Adjustment. PVS-14 have four (4) adjustments:
Variable Gain. Adjusts the brightness of the image. This reduces
eyestrain, especially in changing light.
Objective Lens Focus. Adjusts for sharpest image of viewed object.
Diopter Adjustment Ring. Focuses eyepiece for sharpest image of
intensifier screen. Rotate diopter adjustment ring for the clearest view
of the image. If done in a lighted condition, line up the image through
the goggle and the image in your naked eye.
Eye Relief. On Helmet and Head mounts, the distance between the
user’s eye and the monocular needs to be adjusted as close to the eye as
is comfortable.
9. Maintenance
Clean lens with lens paper. Turn in for maintenance if monocular has
shading, edge flow, flashing, flickering, or operates intermittently.
Some blemishes or spots on screen are not deadline issues. Monocular can
only be adjusted by higher echelon maintenance.
10. Mounts
Head Mount. Don Head Mount. Adjust straps. Attach Head / Helmet Mount
Adapter to Monocular. Attach Monocular to Mount. Adjust Eye Relief by
sliding mounting bracket toward or away from eyes.
Helmet Mount. Strap Helmet Mount to helmet. Attach Head / Helmet
Mount Adapter to Monocular. Attach Monocular to Mount. Slide monocular
up and down by loosening bracket knob. Adjust Eye Relief by sliding
mounting bracket toward or away from eyes.
- Monocular can be flipped up when not in use.
- Monocular can be removed from the helmet by depressing the lever
on the right side of the helmet mount and removing the entire
bracket.
- Monocular can be worn on either eye. Loosen the knob on the end
of the Mount Adapter and rotate the monocular to the desired eye.
Once the monocular is positioned, tighten the knob.
Small Arms Weapons Mount. Attach to weapon. Mount PVS-14 to mount.
Can be used with 3X Magnifier.
11. Pre-Combat Checks
Install Batteries.
Remove Lens Cap. Install Sacrificial Window OR Compass OR 3X
Magnifier.
Don and Adjust Head Mount OR Helmet Mount.
Make the four (4) monocular adjustments.
12. IR Beacon
IR beacon illuminates near objects in very dark conditions, or for
signaling. The IR beacon CAN be detected by an enemy equipped with NVGs.
Turn Beacon ON by pulling switch out and forward. A steady red dot
appears in the eyepiece to signal the IR is ON.
PVS-14 TTP
See PVS-7 TTP. Most of the Tactics, Techniques, and Procedures for
the PVS-7 are the same as for PVS-14. The following TTP are specific to
PVS-14.
1. Fire the M-16A2 with PVS-14 mounted.
Procedure. Mount the PVS-14 to the weapon using the Small Arms
Mount. Adjust PVS-14 far enough away from eye to prevent injury from
weapon recoil. Op-check PAQ-4C / PEQ-2A beam by observing through PVS-14
monocular.
Techniques. Mounting PVS-14 to the M-16A2 is best done in
stationary or defensive operations where the Marine is covering a sector
from behind his weapon.
Common Errors
- Using a mounted PVS-14 during offensive actions. It is near
impossible to use a mounted PVS-14 while moving with the weapon.
- Using the IR illuminator in a stationary position.
2. Fire the M40 Sniper Rifle with the Unertl scope and PVS-14.
Procedure. Mount the Unertl scope to the rifle. Cut a 7-inch
piece of riggers tape lengthwise. Wrap it around the focus ring of the
PVS-14, making sure you don’t tape the focus ring to the body of the
PVS-14. Turn the device on and focus at long range. Slide the focus ring
into the ocular lens of the Unertl scope until it fits snugly. Readjust
focus to ensure clarity.
Techniques. Small turns of the PVS-14 left and right will make
focus adjustments.
Common Errors. Not adjusting proper eye relief for attaining good
sight picture and avoiding scope bite.
3X Magnifier
