An/peq-15 atpial manual

This isn't to say you should be kissing their feet for deigning to sell you a Class I--I'm just pointing out the realities of a massive defense and technology conglomerate like L3Harris that builds everything from F helmets to airport body scanners, and the realities of the small commercial IR aiming laser market, with at least three major companies all competing for the same commercial market share, as well as a handful of other smaller manufacturers.

Quoted: This is in the works I am sure of it. Lobbied by the industry and the FDA, at that point what is the difference in having a FP laser from gray market vs a perst since you won't be able to send either back for repairs? My perst is on its second trip to Russia, and with that track record I am not sure I would want to deal with it. Quoted: Quoted: It seems that way Or is it just because the FDA says so? But I feel the civi will do good for most peoples uses View Quote What about a magnified optic?

Sure a civ laser will do fine for a lot, but I like options. I rarely used full power illuminator but it was nice to have when the low power wouldn't cut it. But I feel the civi will do good for most peoples uses View Quote A powerful illuminator at short distances can also punch across a white light lit street to see under cars, decks, into windows etc where a low power illuminator will fall flat on its face.

Get a Sure Fire tail cap adapter for it with the still to come dual lead Hot Button and you're good to go. The C by itself could be all you ever need. Everybody is different but most guys want more power than not enough enough. I'm out in the boonies where I'm not dealing with any man made light sources but I still want more power. The only photonic barrier I have to deal with is the Moon, which can be a straight up PITA depending on where it's at in the sky.

I'm just a regular tier none dude so keep that in mind, lol. She's a piggy but it works. The ability to quickly switch from a near to extended range with a push of a button vs moving a dial, then twisting a head makes it a better choice. My first FP peq15 arrived doa and getting it serviced has been quite the exercise in patience, as I'm still waiting 3 months later.

Thankfully it should be back within the next week or two, but it's been a long wait. The Perst 3. Using just my PVS I'm able to see the laser at yards, but can't tell when it's on the target. How is it supposed to be done? That's a warranty. View Quote And I still don't have a working laser 7 months later.

Quoted: And I still don't have a working laser 7 months later I'm confident you'll be good without it. View Quote. View Quote Did you spend some time messing with the illuminator? That's why I like them. View Quote I bet civilian sales are just drops in their taxpayer-funded buckets. View Quote I'm sure L3 will sit up and take notice. View Quote Why? It seems that way View Quote This is in the works I am sure of it.

View Quote I think you're misunderstanding what I wrote. I think you're misunderstanding what I wrote. This is in the works I am sure of it. It would just leave a sour taste in my mouth purchasing a laser device from a company who essentially engages in chrony capitalism by having. Not that we will ever know who lobbied for the inevitable ban. It really is lackluster compared to the Perst. View Quote Again, for better or for worse, I think you're overestimating how big a "problem" these are on a macro scale--whether within the industry or in terms of "shit that the FDA has to deal with on a daily basis.

The below sections cover each face of the PEQ in detail. The below two images firstly highlight and identify the key parts and features that will be covered through this blog. Serial number - this is stamped or marked on and uniquely identifies the PEQ Laser radiation awareness sticker - details the wavelength and type of lasers utilised in the PEQ Laser radiation awareness sticker 2 - near identical to above with addition of manufactured date.

Pressed twice they are activated for continuous usage. Battery insertion diagram - denotes correct way to install battery. Aim Neutral Density Cap - when in place in front of the lasers the cap reduces the visibility of the IR laser and completely removes any visibility of the visible red laser. The cap is held in place using a fixing point on the top and bottom of the PEQ and can be removed and replaced with an alternate Pattern Generator if required.

Can also be used for bore sighting the weapon system. Both Infrared and Visible lasers are co-aligned meaning that when boresighting using the visible laser, the IR laser will also be adjusted at the same time.

Infrared Illuminator - only visible using Night vision device. Beam spread can be adjusted by rotating the Focus Knob left for a narrower beam or to the right for a wider angled beam. Battery cap - metal cap seals the A battery inside the PEQ and has an O-ring inside the cap preventing any moisture or particles to enter the battery compartment.

The LED off and on function can be seen in the third image below. Lanyard attachment - this moulded in loop enables the user to tie paracord to the PEQ to be used in a non weapons mounted function.

Remote Jack - the remote jack presell switch can be inserted enabling the user to activate via pressure, the PEQ when fixed to a foregrip or rail. Illuminator Adjusters - The left side houses the Illuminator adjustment screws that effect azimuth and elevation changes. Aim Laser Adjusters - these adjustment screws affect both the IR laser and Visible laser that enable the user to adjust the azimuth and elevation.

Of note if you look at the screws in the above image, at the top, bottom and right hand side, you can see that the screw wells are filled with silicone. This is done to ensure that the screws a never rattle loose, b screws reduce likelihood of water damage i.

PEQ Measurements. Length Width 7. Height 4cm. The PEQ weighs a total of g with a battery or g without a battery. Parts in detail. There were a number of additional parts included within the PEQ package that were worthy of inclusion and expansion on details for reference. Pattern Generators. Only one PG can be fitted at a time. The purpose of these is for command and control, for example where a squad leader may be designating a specific building for his units to approach or in some cases different units being assigned different PG for use in training as a means of identification and target assignment.

Remote Cable Switch. The purpose of this is to provide another method of activating the PEQ, in this case, using a presell switch which can be mounted horizontally on a rail or vertically on a foregrip. The switch can then be fixed in place using the retaining straps or the loop velcro.

Quick Reference Guide. It covers;. Laser power. Operating Instructions. Safety Screw. LED status indicator. Mounting procedures. Weapon system options. Zeroing Procedures. Installing a battery. Unscrewing this it can be seen that the collar on the PEQ has an O-ring to provide a seal for the battery compartment. On top of the PEQ above the battery cap is a diagram illustrating which way around the battery needs to be inserted. Once inserted the cap can be screwed back on tightly.

The PEQ has functional 8 modes which have been detailed in the table below. To change mode, the Mode Selector is moved to the relevant position. Once the Safety Screw has been removed as seen in the second image below, it can be stored in the Safety Screw Storage position on the right hand side of the PEQ as shown in the third image.

This is extremely advantageous because you can positively zero or check your zero during the day using a simple boresight technique. The exceptional functionality of this unit gives you everything you could want in a single compact package. Its design seats the unit low on the rail, and wraps around the Picatinny for a snag-resistant, low profile.

This is accomplished by utilizing a recessed rail-grabber mount. The recessed controls are located on top of the housing for easy access in the field with gloves. The material takes a lot of weight out of the unit, which is appreciated during long hours of carrying a rifle. The ATPIAL also features a rear-facing battery compartment which allows the user to remove the battery we all know not to store our high-end NV and laser equipment with batteries installed, right?

A molded-in lanyard loop rounds out the back. Windage and Elevation are adjusted with tiny screws on the top and sides of the unit. Each adjustment produces a positive click. IR Lasers are restricted to Law Enforcement and Government sales only and cannot be sold to civilians.
