Overview
The NL914C Power Pack by Nightline, Inc.™ is a patented upgrade for the PVS-14 night vision monocular, designed to enhance performance, increase durability, and reduce weight. By rethinking the battery housing, this power pack allows users to choose between CR123A lithium or AA batteries for extended runtime and flexibility.
Key Features
Dual Battery Compatibility & Extended Runtime
- Accepts either CR123A or AA batteries in the same tray.
- CR123A lithium batteries provide double or triple the runtime, especially useful for high-draw, filmless white phosphor tubes.
- Recommended battery use:
- CR123A: Ideal for general use due to longest run time.
- RCR-123A (Rechargeable CR123A): Compatible but offers reduced runtime.
- AA Alkaline: Recommended for AA battery usage.
- AA Lithium: May trigger low-voltage indicator due to higher voltage misinterpretation.
Lightweight & Durable Design
- 1.6 oz / 45 g total weight – 36% lighter than standard AA battery housings.
- Reduces neck strain, allowing for improved comfort during extended use.
Enhanced Controls & Water Resistance
- Push-button controls replace fragile rotary dials, improving durability & reliability.
- Better water resistance with a sealed, button-operated design.
- Intuitive Controls:
- Power Button: Click once to turn on/off.
- Gain Adjustment: Press and hold + or - button.
- IR Illuminator: Click once for momentary activation, double-click for constant on.
Considerations for Use
- Professional Installation & Purging Recommended:
- For optimal performance, hire a professional to install and purge the monocular with inert gas (prevents fogging in humid environments).
- DIY installation is possible, but leak testing the gas seal requires professional tools.
- If used in a dry climate, purging is less critical, but necessary for professional use in humid conditions.
