Description
Now available for the commercial market, the DBAL-A3 class 1/3R Civilian Visible Green/IR Laser Sight with IR Illuminator from Steiner Optics is a durable yet compact multifunction laser aiming device that incorporates a green aiming laser, an IR aiming laser, and an infrared LED illuminator. The Dual Beam Aiming Laser (DBAL) features independently adjustable lasers that allow the operator to choose the output mode and correct the impact point of each laser. A powerful IR LED provides an independent illuminator. This configuration of the DBAL is outfitted with a green aiming laser that is visible without NVDs up to 50' away during the day and 820 yards at night. For covert operation and use with NVDs, the DBAL has an 835nm IR laser that can be seen out to 275 yards, day or night. The IR illuminator enables target designation or allows users to flood the night vision scene with infrared light owing to its adjustable beam angle from a tight 2 spot to a wide 30 flood. This entire laser/illuminator system runs on a single included CR123A battery. The DBAL-A3 features an integrated activation pushbutton switch with an included remote activation pressure pad. The remote switch allows the operator to activate the DBAL while remaining in the firing position. Simply tap either switch once for momentary activation, or double-tap for five continuous minutes. A mode selector switch at the rear of the housing enables the operator to set the power output that suits their targeting task. Independent windage and elevation dials enable users to zero and perform shot correction for the green and IR lasers. The DBAL-A3 is made of the lightweight and durable 6061-T6 aluminum alloy with a matte black corrosion- and scratch-resistant Type III hard anodized finish. This rugged housing is ESD compliant for air worthiness, and it meets MIL-STD 810G standards for extreme temperature tolerance and waterproofing.Visible Laser Performance Class IIIa greenPeak wavelength: 532nmOutput power: Beam divergence: Visible range, day: 50 feetVisible range, night: 820 yardsIR Laser Class IIIb eye-safe IRPeak wavelength: 835nmOutput power: Beam divergence: 275-yard maximum visible range, day or nightIlluminator Performance Eye safe IR LEDsPeak wavelength: 835nmOutput power: Adjustable beam angle from 2 spot to 30 flood1100 -yard maximum visible range, day or nightUse and Handling Separate windage and elevation adjustment dials for the green and IR lasersFinger-adjustable impact point correctionHigh and low visible/IR laser and illuminator outputsDouble Tap activation switch: Single tap momentary use, double-tap 5 continuous minutes activationShrouded activation button, windage, elevation, and output dialsRear-facing activation and low-battery indicatorsConstruction Details 6061T-6 aluminum alloy housingScratch- and corrosion-resistant black Type III hard coat finish anodizedBroad -40 to 149 F operating temperature rangeWatertight to 16 feet3.5 x 2.8" footprintTethered battery cover, laser/LED emitter windows8 oz weightRuns on one included CR123A batteryPredrilled mounting holes for top rail mount or reflex sight
