It is desirable to execute the adaptation of the side mount in the JSC Dedal-NV Attention. When the device is fastened to the rifle with another kind of alignment it should be negotiated with the JSC Dedal-NV in order to avoid displacement of the hit point at a shot, since in most cases such displacement is caused by an unqualified adaptation. 12
Type and dimension of the reticle The central part of the reticle is shown at the picture. The brightness of the central point of the reticle can be adjusted with the switch (9). The magnitude of replacement of the reticle by turning for one click at the distance 100m is ½ MOA. Adjustment of the scope on the rifle Before the adjustment of the scope its objective should be adjusted for a distant object (select infinity) in a dark time with the opened cover of the objective. Adjustment of the scope can be performed in a daytime with the closed cover of the objective or in the twilight on the adjusted target or on the remote point. Adjustment of the scope is performed in the following way: - fix the scope on the fit of the rifle; - set a panel with a target or select the point of aiming; - set the rifle on the scopeed machine; - direct the rifle to the point of aiming by mechanical sight (bead with a slot) (if it is possible). At this stage it is suitable to apply laser of cold test shooting inserted in the barrel of the rifle, which indicates geometrical point of the barrel position. Such lasers are supplied by the JSC Dedal-NV; - unscrew the protective caps of the bias screws of the aimed graticule. Turning the bias screws of the reticle obtain the matching of reticle crosshairs with the aimed point, set by the mechanical sight or cold test shooting - remove the rifle from scopeed machine and take out cold test shooting; - make 2-3 shots. Having examined the target make necessary corrections (for example, in order to move the hit point downwards and leftwards, screws of the mechanism should be turned counter clockwise, in the directions Down and Left correspondingly. The aiming point is moving upwards and rightwards); - make a control shot and find out whether the aiming point coincides with the bullet hit point. (Make the correction again if necessary); - the device is ready for operation; - performing the adjustment it should be taken into consideration that the displacement mechanism of the reticle of the device is equipped with a clicking fixer providing the characteristics indicated on the handwheel of the mechanism of displacement. Maintenance and Storage Rules Device maintenance and storage rules are very simple. Keep and carry the device in a closed box with a cover put on the objective. Protect the device from hits and direct influence of rain, snow and dust on the optical parts. Protect the box from moisture penetration and the device should be protected from direct sun influence. The device should be kept in a warm, dry place far from heating devices, batteries should be taken out. Storage temperature must not exceed 60 C. Troubleshooting The device Dedal-450 does not work... Make sure that the batteries have been installed and they are in good condition. Dedal-450 can not be focused... Adjust the objective lens and eyepiece according to the instructions specified in the Operation section. If the device is not still focusing wipe and clean the optical parts. The image has faded or disappeared completely.. Bright source of light can be a reason of the image reduction, loss of resolution or complete disappearance. 13
This is an automatic protection system of the device. If Dedal-450 has been switched off automatically, turn the switch to the position OFF. The unit will be ready for use in one-two seconds. Condensation effect... In order to avoid misting of the eyepiece lens in cold time use special anti-damping covers (for example, for spectacles). Indistinct movement of aiming reticle... When adjusting scope in the rail and given vertical replacement of the reticle it is desirable to turn the screw of horizontal replacement for 2-5 clicks in one direction, and then put this screw in the initial position. Some black dots are on the screen... The image may contain small black dots or groups of black dots. Most of black dots can be seen only in daytime and in the operation mode the dots become almost invisible. Bright points are on the screen... The image may contain some bright points caused by gradual relief of static electricity from the cathode. This feature may appear immediately after the assembly of the device and removal/setting of the objective from/ to the device, and it always disappears in 5-14 days of the device utilization (storage).
