KERIF Night Vision is a Veteran-Owned Small Business CAGE: 36BD2, DUNS: 105547512

The NVD-CNVD-T3 is the smallest, lightest and highest performing long range, uncooled Thermal Clip-On Weapon Sight we are aware of. This system distinguishes itself with the ability to be used as both a standalone long range thermal weapon sight, with its own digital internal reticule aiming system, and with the ability to be used as a clip on device in front of bore sighted day optics.

With a man sized detection range of an incredible 2465 meters this sight outperforms all but the highest performance long range sniper rifles. The NVD-CNVD-T3 also features a 2X digital zoom as well as the capability to capture, store and download images to a PC.

The T3 uses two easy to obtain CR-123 batteries, which will power the unit for a continuous 4.5 hours, and yet weighs only a little over two pounds. This is less than most Night Vision weapon sights, which do not even have half of the detection range of the T3.

Quickly spot people in the water Day or Night, Cut through Smoke or Fog, See the Unseen in Total Darkness, and Look Past Bright Lights

     KERIF Night Vision now carries three more "Top-of-the-Line" Clip On Night Vision Devices (CNVD's) that can be handheld or Weapon-Mounted for Observation, Target Identification or Passive Target Acquisition during the day or in adverse conditions such as light rain & snow, dry smoke, and low light to total darkness. Please note that the unit will not allow the user to see through glass, water or heavy rain & snow. These 3 Models, the CNVD-T™, the CNVD-T2™, and the CNVD-T3™ from Insight (L-3) Warrior Systems stand head and shoulders above the crowd when it comes to clarity, versatility, and function. The latest test results are listed below for your review. Notice how far you can see achieve when all the right components are used.

     L-3 Insight Technology's CNVD-T3 is a battery operated, weapon-mounted, thermal imaging device with an integrated digital camera. It allows for observation, target identification, and target acquisition during the day or in adverse conditions such as light rain or snow, dry smoke, and low light to total darkness. With the integrated digital camera, the CNVD-T3 allows for acquisition, storage, and recall of viewed thermal images. Thermal images may also be transferred to a personal computer (PC) using the Image Adapter Cable.

Activating the RS170 / VGA menu item toggles between these two display formats. VGA format is appropriate for high-motion viewing. RS170 format is appropriate for all other applications. Refer to the Operators Manual for instructions on how to connect the CNVD-T3 to an external monitor for viewing live thermal imagery.

NOTE

When viewing the CNVD-T3 thermal image on an external monitor, the RS170 video format must be selected. Using the VGA video format for this purpose will result in an extremely distorted image.

     Activating the PIC (Picture) menu item takes a digital picture of the viewed image. The image is automatically stored to flash memory with a maximum capacity of approximately 150 pictures. When attempting to take more than the maximum allowable number of pictures, the message "CAMERA FULL" will appear in the eyepiece display. No more pictures may be taken until one or more of the stored pictures are deleted (See Operator's Manual for further details)

     The advanced design of the CNVD-T3 eliminates the typical requirement of removing a primary (day) sighting system since the CNVD-T3 mounts directly in line with a standard day optical sight. Combining day and night vision sights eliminates the need to re-zero your weapon every time you change-out sights, since the primary sight remains undisturbed.

 

 

The Point of Impact remains the same every time ^*
An additional advantage to supplementing your primary sighting system with the CNVD-T3 include maintaining a consistent eye relief and shooting position as well as retaining muscle memory. By operating the locking Quick-Disconnect, Single Throw-Lever mounting system provided, the CNVD-T3 easily attaches to any MIL-STD-1913 rail interface system and may be mounted to a weapon in a Stand-Alone configuration, used in conjunction with other magnified optical sights, or operated as a hand-held observation device.

^{*Note 1} The CNVD-T3 may be placed at any position (forward and aft) on the rail that is most convenient for you. If, however, the CNVD-T3 is removed from the rail, you should note the position at which it was zeroed, and return it to that same position to ensure that zero is retained.

a. Pull the lever lock out to the full open position.

b. Swing the throw-lever toward the front (objective lens) of the CNVD-T3 to allow the mounting bracket sufficient space to fit over the MIL-STD-1913 rail.

c. Position the mounting bracket over the rail ensuring that the recoil lug is properly seated in one of the rail’s recoil grooves.

CAUTION.. If too much or too little force is required to perform step d., the throw-lever must be adjusted to properly secure to the rail of the host weapon. Refer to the Operators Manual for this adjustment procedure.

d. While pushing down and forward on the CNVD-T3, swing the throw-lever toward the back (eyepiece) of the CNVD-T until it is snug against the mounting bracket.

e. Push the lever lock to engage the locking mechanism

 

     When mounting the CNVD-T3 in-line with a day optic, like the ACOG shown in this image, first stretch the interface hood over the eyepiece of the CNVD-T3. Mount the day optic to the rail in accordance with manufacturer’s instructions, then mount the CNVD-T3 to the weapon rail (in front of the optical sight). Ensure the interface hood covers the objective lens of the optic (see Figure on left).

 

     Successfully tested up to 50 cal. The thermal imaging capability of the CNVD-T3 allows for observation and target identification under adverse conditions including light rain, fog, smoke, light snow, in daylight, low light and even total darkness. The CNVD-T3 incorporates a reticle used for weapon aiming with the unique capability of being mounted on a weapon in front of a day sight without impacting day optic's aiming point.

 

     Whenever the CNVD-T3 is not being used, the objective lens cover should be pulled down over the objective lens to protect it from possible damage. The objective lens cover should also be installed when calibrating the CNVD-T3.
     The eyepiece assembly may be fitted with one or both of the following components: When installed, the Night Adaptive Filter / Demist Filter prevents fogging of the eyepiece, and reduces backlighting and loss of Night Vision in low light environments.
     When attached, the eyecup reduces emission of stray light from the eyepiece. To install, stretch the base of the eyecup into place over the eyepiece assembly. Rotate the eyecup to obtain a proper eye socket and cheek weld.

     Insight Technology 's CNVD-T3 Clip-on Thermal Sight CT3-001 is a Battery Operated lightweight, multi-platform thermal imager, providing moving man-sized target detection performance over 500 meters. This Clip-On Night Vision Device CNVD-T3 by Insight Technologies can be weapon-mounted as a stand-alone night vision sight or in combination with existing day optics. Insight's CT3-001-A3(Tan) or A6 (Black) small size also makes it ideal for hand-held use. The CNVD-T3 detects and displays available thermal signatures to provide rapid cueing to the operator of potential targets or danger. The sight is passive and does not emit visible or infrared light (except from the eyepiece) that can be detected by the enemy.

      The CNVD-T3 Thermal Clip-On Night Vision Weaponsight is one of the best new products in our ever growing list of "Top-of-the-Line" products, because everything about them is built to perform. These sights are manufactured to the highest quality standards required from our U.S. Military, utilizing the latest proprietary technology, State of the Art manufacturing facilities, and an engineering team that worked hand in hand with our Military & Special Forces Groups to produce the absolute best Thermal Night Vision Weaponsight that works with your existing Day Scopes.
