TS630 Thermal Sight with Intuitive Operation High Reliability and Advanced Reconnaissance for Tactical Applications

1. What is "Recognition" vs. "Identification Range" in a tactical context?

Recognition Range: The distance at which you can determine the type of target—for example, distinguishing a human from a deer or a car.

Identification Range: A closer distance where you can discern specific details, such as identifying that the human is carrying a object or recognizing the species of an animal. This is critical for making a positive identification before engaging.

2. What is a "One-Shot Zero" feature?

This is a user-friendly function that allows for quick and easy zeroing of the sight. After firing a single round at a target, the user simply places the reticle over the bullet hole's thermal signature on the screen and confirms the setting. The sight's software automatically calculates and adjusts the zero, saving time compared to traditional methods.

3. Can I use my thermal sight during the daytime?

Yes, you can. Thermal sights are effective 24/7. During the day, they excel at cutting through visual camouflage and spotting targets concealed in shadows or dense vegetation. However, you should never point any weapon-mounted sight, including a thermal, at the sun, as it can permanently damage the sensitive sensor.

4. What are the different types of reticles and can they be changed?

Most modern thermal sights offer a variety of digital reticles (e.g., duplex, mil-dot, BDC) that can be selected and customized via the menu. The reticle is electronically overlayed on the thermal display, allowing you to choose the one that best suits your ballistic needs and preferences. Color options (e.g., red, black, white) are also common to ensure visibility against different thermal backgrounds.

5. What does "IP Rating" mean and why is it important for a thermal sight?

The IP (Ingress Protection) Rating indicates the level of protection the sight has against solid particles and liquids. A rating like IP67 is common for high-quality sights, meaning it's completely dust-tight (6) and can be submerged in water up to 1 meter deep for 30 minutes (7). This is crucial for a device that must withstand recoil, harsh weather, mud, and immersion.
