Clip CH50 Series Thermal Imaging Attachment
User Manual

Description

Clip CH50 Series is a multifunctional thermal imager device equipped with two kinds of eyepiece that can be used either as a monocular or a front attachment as the infrared expansion device of day light. Different from the night vision device based on image enhancement, Clip CH50 Series doesn’t need an external light source and isn’t influenced by strong light exposure. It can be used in the night or in bad weather conditions such as fog, rain, smog and can detect objects through obstacles such as branches, tall grass, dense bushes and so on. Clip CH50 Series has a wide range applications including night hunting, observation, terrain orientation, and search and rescue operations.

Image Calibration
When the device is installed on the daylight sight as an infrared extension component, if the reticle of the white light sight is not in the center of the infrared image, the image calibration function can be used to shift the infrared image to ensure the position consistency between the white light image and an infrared image.

Fig. 6-3 Image calibration interface

Operation:

• Please calibrate the daylight sight before mounting Clip CH50.
• Installing Clip CH50 on the daylight sight and repeat the calibration steps above.
  Then aim at the target at 100 meters and shoot. Measure the horizontal distance and vertical distance between the bullet hitting point and the aiming point afterward.
• In normal display mode, press and hold down M (5) button to enter the image calibration interface. Pressing the P (4) button or C (6) button briefly to move the position of the infrared image and long press to achieve a quick shift. Pressing M (5) button to switch the orientation of the X-axis (left-right) and Y-axis (up-down) while the moving distance is displayed synchronously above the icon. (as shown in figures 6-3)
• When the calibration is done, long-press M (5) button to save and exit the calibration interface.

Note: Before zeroing function performs, please confirm the storage location, i.e., selection of the type of zero. (Refer to 6.5 for details)

E-Zoom center adjustment

• Please calibrate the image before adjusting the E-zoom center.
• Hold down M (5) button to enter the advanced menu, and select the E-zoom center adjusts option to enter the menu.
• In the adjustment menu, move the white reticle until it overlaps with the daylight scope’s reticle.
• Hold down M (5) button to save and exit the adjustment interface. Aim the target with E-Zoom, and observe if the center of E-zoom overlaps with the reticle of daylight scope. Repeat previous center adjustment if there is deviation.

Bad Pixel Calibration

Fig. 6-5 Bad pixel correction interface

• When entering the advanced menu, select the bad pixel calibration option and press M (5) button briefly to enter the bad pixel calibration interface (fig.6-5). A reticle will appear in the center of the screen.
• Then, move the reticle up-down or left-right to select the bad pixel by pressing the P (4) button and C (6) button. Press M (5) button briefly to switch the orientation of X-axis (left-right) and Y-axis (up-down).
• After selecting the bad pixel, press the P (4) and C (6) buttons at the same time to calibrate the bad pixels.
• Repeat the above operations to continue selecting bad pixels, and the status bar at the bottom of the screen will display the number of calibrated bad pixels.
• When the calibration is done, press and hold M (5) button to exit the bad pixel correction.

Compass Calibration

• In the home screen, press and hold the P (4) and C (6) buttons at the same time to enter the compass calibration interface.
• An icon like a triaxial coordinate system appears on the screen (shown as fig. 6-6).
• Follow the icon prompt to rotate the riflescope along three axes at least 360 degrees on each axis in 15 seconds.
• It will automatically exit and complete compass calibration after 15s.
• During the calibration process, press P (4) button briefly to exit the compass calibration interface at any time.

Stadiametric Rangefinder (Only for Monocular)
Stadiametric rangefinder is only for a monocular mode that can estimate the approximate distance to an object of known size.

• In the home screen, press and hold the P (4) and C (6) buttons for 3s at the same time to enter the stadiametric rangefinder interface (fig. 6-7).
• The display will show two horizontal lines for measurement, the icons, and the numbers of the measured distance for three objects on the right.
• There are three predefined values for objects:
  – Deer – height 1.7m
  – Boar – height 0.7m
  – Hare – height 0.3m
• Locate the target by pressing the P (4) button or C (6) button until the target matches entirely between the two measurement lines. P (4) button is used to increase the distance and C (6) button to reduce the distance.
• The distance to the target is automatically recalculated while moving the measurement lines and displayed on the left of the three reference objects.
• The center and color of the measurement lines is the same as the reticle.
•  Exit the rangefinder mode with a long press of the M (5) button.
