Zeroing

NOTE:
Before zeroing your scope, please make sure the correct lens type is selected. You can check this by going to the System Settings and selecting Settings. You will see the subcategory Device Type. Please make sure you select the lens type of your scope.
This lets the system know which Scope you are actually using (example: ThOR-HD 19 mm or ThOR-HD 50 mm).

To Zero in your scope you will need to go to the Profile/Zero section of the System Settings.

3-4-1

To enter the System Settings you should open Shortcut Carousel with ENTER button center and select the wrench icon with RIGHT or LEFT buttons right-left .
Then, push the ENTER button center to access the menu.
Before you begin the Zeroing process, you will need to either create a new Profile or utilize an existing one. We recommend to create a new one to understand the process better.

3-4-2

Under the Profiles/Zero Category you will find Current, Other, Import from SD card, and Export to SD card. Select Other. Select Profile 1, Create New Profile, and/or edit/make changes to it. Once you selected a profile, press the ENTER button to load it. Also, your load profile will become your current profile.
Profiles are primarily used in order to utilize your scope on various weapons. This way, when moving your scope from one gun to the next, you can simply select the Profile that you have already created for this gun. Another reason to use multiple profiles is to be able to zero in the scope on the same gun, but at different ranges. For example, one Profile may be called AR 50 yards and another AR 200 yards. This allows you to create two separate profiles to fine tune your shooting solutions for both shorter and longer range shooting.
In order to change the profile name to what you want, download and access the ATN Obsidian app. The app will allow you to connect your Phone/Tablet to your scope.

NOTE:
You will need to obtain a target which thermal is able to see. ATN sells Thermal Targets, or you can use any of the following items: Cold or Hot water bottle, hand warmers, or foil based tape.

To zero your rifle with the ATN device, you should follow the next few steps.

  • 3-5-4
  • 3-5-5

In the System Settings, Select the Profiles/Zero Tab. The main Subcategories of the Profiles/Zero are; Current, Other, Import from SD card, and Export to SD card. Select Current, by pressing the ENTER button center .There you will see Zero Reticle. We suggest you fill out all the ballistic info to the best of your ability before proceeding to Zero. This will save you time when you want to use the Ballistic Calculator at a later time.

3-4-4

Proceed to Zero the Reticle. Press the ENTER button center to select Zero Reticle. You will see on your screen a cross hair reticle. While keeping the gun as steady as possible, fire a round. Use the key pad to move the Red cross hair to the point of impact, while keeping the White crosshair in the same place you where aiming. Once you have placed the Red crosshair on the POI press the ENTER button center. A dialogue box will appear with options. Select Save & Exit.

3-4-5

NOTE:
Although you may not need to take more then one shot to zero in your scope, we do recommend that you repeat the process several times to make sure that you truly are zeroed in. As you gain experience in zeroing in your scope, it should take you no time before you are experienced at zeroing out your scope.

3-4-5

NOTE:
In order to fine tune your zero. Select Zero Reticle once more. Press the ENTER button and select Zoom. Zoom in all the way and fire the weapon. If your POI is not where you had aimed. Move the Red reticle to the POI and Exit & Save. This will insure your POI is the same on optical and maximum magnification.

Ballistic Calculator

The Ballistic Calculator in your scope can seamlessly adjust your point of impact. The first step in utilizing this function requires you to enter all relevant information into the Profile that is being used.

NOTE:
If you do not know all or part this info (example: Initial Velocity) we recommend that you contact the manufacturer of the ammunition and/or the weapon that you are using. Generally this info should be found on the manufacturer’s website.

Once your profile has been setup you are ready to activate the Ballistic Calculator on your sight. Open the Shortcut Carousel and locate the following set of Icons.

3-5-1

You will need to scroll with UP and DOWN buttons up-down to find the Ballistic Calculator bullseye icon and if it is off (indicated by a diagonal line running through the icon), you will need to turn it on by hitting ENTER button center while having the icon selected. You will see the diagonal line disappear and a Ballistic Calculator icon will appear in the top right corner of the screen.

3-5-6

ENVIRONMENT

3-5-7

There are a number of Environmental elements that may be entered to increase the precision of your shots.

3-5-8

Wind Speed:
Generally speaking, Wind strengths and direction are by far the most important of the group, especially during medium to heavy winds. We highly recommend that if you plan to shoot at ranges of over 300 yards you take wind readings and enter the information into your sight. Both wind speed and wind direction are needed if you plan to make accurate shots. You can enter the information through the Environment shortcut or you can utilize your mobile device (running the Obsidian App with a WiFi connection to your scope), whichever you find easier.

Relative Humidity:
Humidity and Temperature must also be entered through the Environment short cut or by utilizing your mobile device.

Barometer Pressure, Altitude and Temperature:
Both Pressure, Altitude and Temperature will be set automatically using your sight’s internal sensors.

Other Data Collected:
The angle of your scope as in relation to your target is also noted and the Ballistic Calculator takes the information into its calculations.

RANGING IN ON YOUR TARGET

The number one priority to achieve accuracy in long range shooting is to know the range to your target.
The Ballistic Calculator will make your adjustments for you but only after you have entered the range to your target.
Your sight offers several ways to accomplish this task.

RANGEFINDER

Select the Flag Icon from the Shortcut Carousel.

Servicing

Cleaning eyepiece

Over time debris or dust particles may find themselves on the micro display in your eyepiece.
Please follow the following instructions to remove the debris:

  1. Remove the Eyepiece — by first loosening the two Set Screws that hold the Eyepiece in place (you will need a 1.5 mm hex key). Then unscrew the eyepiece and remove it entirely. Once the set screws have been loosened the eyepiece should be relatively easy to unscrew, do not use excessive force.
  2. To clean the Micro Display — we recommend using a compressed air canister. Just blow the air all around the micro display and then blow the air on the display itself. The plastic screen covering the display will bend under the air pressure and will allow burst of air inside of the micro display housing.
  3. Reinstall Eyepiece — check if all debris have disappeared from your view. If more debris remain Repeat Step 1 and Step 2. Do not forget to re-tighten the Set Screws after completing your cleaning.
