Configuració i instal·lació
The VMX-3T Magnifier is designed for straightforward installation and does not require any special sight-in procedures. It is compatible with Picatinny rails and can be configured for either lower 1/3 or absolute co-witness mounting heights to align with your existing red dot sight.
Components inclosos:
- VMX-3T Magnifier
- Flip Mount (Absolute Co-Witness)
- Shim Plate (for Lower 1/3 Co-Witness)
- (2) Sets of Mounting Screws
- Drap de lent
Instruccions de muntatge:
- Identify your desired co-witness height (absolute or lower 1/3). If lower 1/3 co-witness is preferred, attach the included shim plate between the flip mount and the VMX-3T.
- Secure the flip mount assembly to your firearm's Picatinny rail using the provided mounting screws. Ensure the screws are tightened to the recommended specifications (typically 20 in/lbs, refer to specific firearm manual for rail torque specs).
- Once mounted, the dot centering screws on the magnifier can be used to fine-tune the position of your red dot image within the VMX-3T's field of view. This is for centering the image, not for zeroing the red dot sight itself.

- To disengage the magnifier, press the release button again and swing the magnifier to the side. It will lock in the disengaged position, clearing your line of sight for unmagnified use.
Ajust del focus:
Use the focus dial located on the ocular end of the magnifier to achieve a sharp image. Rotate the dial until the reticle of your red dot sight and the target appear clear and in focus.
Dot Centering Adjustment:
The VMX-3T features dot centering screws (elevation and windage) on the top and side of the magnifier. These adjustments are used to center the red dot image within the magnifier's field of view, ensuring optimal alignment. These adjustments do not affect the point of impact of your red dot sight.
Manteniment
Proper care and maintenance will ensure the longevity and optimal performance of your VMX-3T Magnifier.
Neteja de les lents:
Use the provided lens cloth or a soft, clean optical cloth to gently wipe away dust and debris from the lenses. For stubborn smudges or fingerprints, use a breath of air or a small amount of lens cleaning fluid applied to the cloth, not directly to the lens.
Protecció del medi ambient:
The VMX-3T is nitrogen purged, making it waterproof and fog-proof. This internal purging prevents internal fogging over a wide range of temperatures and humidity. While designed for durability, avoid unnecessary exposure to extreme conditions or harsh chemicals.
Emmagatzematge:
When not in use, store the magnifier in a dry, cool place, ideally in its original packaging or a protective case to prevent scratches and damage.
