INVISIBLE LASER RADIATION  
CLASS I LASER PRODUCT 830–860 nm 0,1mW.  
1.  
Brief description  
LAM 10M IR laser aimer (hereinafter referred as LAM) is  
designed for precise aiming at night time. LAM forms an IR  
laser radiation spot on the target visible only through the  
night vision goggles. It can be attached to a weapon equipped  
with Picatinny rail MIL-STD-1913.  
Laser beam, created by a semiconductor laser diode, is  
invisible by naked eye, while it is perfectly visible through  
night vision goggles, rifle sights or hand-held devices.  
LAM meets the Class 1 eye safety requirements.  
Nevertheless users are not advised to look into the laser  
beam.

LAM consists of an emitter (6,7, Fig.1), a battery  
compartment (15,16, Fig.1), windage (9, Fig.1) and elevation  
(12, Fig.1) adjustment mechanisms, an operating modes  
switch (17, Fig.1), a remote switch (Fig.2), a clamp (1, Fig.1).  
A battery is to be inserted into the battery compartment  
(16, Fig.1). Battery compartment cap (15, Fig.1) is attached  
to the body with a rubber band. The battery compartment is  
sealed with rubber O-ring. A spare O-Ring is included in the  
delivery set.  
Emitter tube output window is closed with a cap (7, Fig.1)  
with an output aperture. When not in operation, the aperture  
is closed with a protective rubber cap (8, Fig.1).  
LAM is activated by means of the operating modes switch  
(17, Fig.1) and/or the remote switch (Fig.2). At switching  
laser radiation on ‘laser on’ warning indicator 11 lights.  
The switch (17, Fig.1) has the following positions:  
Mode  
OFF Off  
C
R
The aimer is on; Continuous live fire  
The aimer is on; Remote activation; live fire  
5
 
LAM automatically turns off after 30 minutes of being  
switched in positions C and R. In order to activate LAM after  
it has automatically turned off, return the switch (17, Fig.1)  
into OFF position and then switch it to the desired position  
again.  
The remote switch (Fig.2) can be attached to LAM by a  
connector (3, Fig.2) with a union nut. When not in operation  
the connector (4, Fig. 1) is covered with a cap. The remote  
switch key (1, Fig.2) is attached to weapon pivot or grip with  
velcro tape (2, Fig.3).  
LAM is mounted on the Picatinny rail. An optional mount  
enables mounting LAM on a weapon barrel. This mount’s  
fitting diameter is 15 mm.

OPERATION INSTRUCTIONS  
5.1. Installing the battery  
LAM is powered by a standard Lithium CR123 3V battery.  
To install a battery:  
-
-
unscrew the battery compartment cap (15, Fig.1),  
insert a battery observing the polarity as marked on the  
battery compartment,  
-
-
check the condition of the O-ring on the body; replace it  
if worn or torn,  
screw the battery compartment cap back on.  
5.2. Mounting LAM on a weapon  
LAM is mounted on a Picatinny rail in the following order:  
-
-
-
loosen screw caps (13, Fig.1),  
align LAM on Picatinny rail,  
fasten the screw caps (13, Fig.1).  
Note: The distance between the gas exit nozzles of the rifle  
and laser beam output window should be as long as possible  
so that the window would remain clean during shooting.  
10  
 
5.3. Connecting the remote control  
To connect the remote switch (Fig.2):  
-
unscrew the cap of the remote connector (4, Fig.1) and  
store it in a safe place,  
-
plug in the remote connector contact (3, Fig.2) observing  
the key visible on the cable side,  
-
-
tighten the union nut,  
attach the remote switch to the weapon pivot or grip with  
velcro tape (2, Fig.2).  
5.4. Adjusting LAM on a weapon  
Prior to adjusting LAM which has never been in operation,  
perform 10 shots in order to stabilize LAM adjustment  
mechanisms under the influence of shock.  
LAM adjustment should be performed after checking the  
weapon fire capability (with an iron sight) or bringing it to  
normal fire under the same conditions in the following order:  
-
zeroing in distance is selected in accordance with fire  
instructions for a given type of weapon;  
-
-
mount LAM on the weapon;  
fix the weapon in the aiming rest and aim it with the help  
of an iron sight, that is set out in the same way as when  
checking the weapon fire capability, and at the same  
point;  
11  
 
-
remove protective cap (8, Fig. 1) from emitter tube  
output window;  
-
-
activate LAM in mode C;  
match the center of radiation spot with the aiming mark  
by means of rotating handwheels of adjustment  
mechanisms;  
-
-
perform test firing with LAM under the same conditions  
as when checking the weapon fire capability with an iron  
sight;  
eliminate deviation of the center of impact from the  
aiming mark. Deviation is measured by adjustment steps:  
each click of adjustment mechanism corresponds to the  
shift of radiation spot by 50 mm, when firing at the target  
situated at a distance of 100 m, i.e. 0.5 mrad;  
-
-
fire again after introducing adjustments;  
cover emitter tube output window with protective cap (8,  
Fig.1).  
After adjusted LAM is remounted on the same Picatinny rail  
of the same weapon new re-adjustment is not required.  
When firing at a distance to which the weapon with LAM  
was zeroed, aiming should be performed by pointing  
radiation spot at the target. When firing at other distances,  
aiming should be performed in accordance with the table of  
exceeding the average bullet trajectories above the line of  
sight.

Maintenance, storage and  
transportation  
6.1. General  
LAM is a sophisticated precise optical instrument equipped  
with electronics. Therefore, it should be handled with due  
care.  
-
-
Never disassemble LAM.  
Keep away from direct sunlight, impacts, dust, moisture,  
and sharp changes of temperature.  
-
-
Do not keep LAM at temperatures higher than 60oC  
(140oF). Keep away from heating appliances and central  
heating.  
Do not touch the optical surfaces with fingers. Doing so  
may damage the anti-reflection coating.  
-
-
Avoid shocks and sharp jolts.  
Clean optical surfaces only with professional camera lens  
cleaning supplies.  
-
-
-
-
Use soft clean cloth to wipe the exterior of LAM.  
Remove battery when storing for long period of time.  
All repairs must be performed by an authorized service.  
If LAM was exposed to salt water it should be rinsed in  
fresh water and dried on air at no more than 60oC.  
13  
 
6.2. Storage  
To set LAM from combat position into a stowed one:  
-
-
-
turn LAM off (operating modes switch (17, Fig.1) should  
be set to OFF position);  
cover emitter tube output window with protective cap (8,  
Fig.1);  
disconnect remote switch (Fig.2) from the weapon, loosen  
screw caps (13, Fig.1), remove LAM with remote switch  
from Picatinny rail and place it into the case.  
LAM in the original packing should be stored in heated  
premises within the temperature range from +5 to +40°С,  
relative humidity not higher than 80 % at temperature +25°С.  
Battery should be stored separately from LAM.  
When preparing for long-term storage, cover the external  
metal surfaces of LAM with protective lubricant. Each 4  
(four) years old layer of lubricant should be removed and new  
layer applied.  
To remove old layer of lubricant:  
-
-
Wipe LAM with clean dry cloth,  
Degrease the metal surfaces of LAM with cloth  
moistened in benzene,  
-
Dry LAM in the open air.  
Do not touch LAM’s metal surfaces with fingers after  
cleaning.  
14  
 
To apply new layer of lubricant:  
-
-
Within two hours from cleaning apply an even  
0.2-0.5 mm thick layer of lubricant on metal surfaces  
with a brush.  
Do not cover plastic parts.  
When preparing for a long-term storage LAM just received  
from manufacturer or from workshop, ensure that actual set is  
the same as indicated in the Delivery Set section of this  
manual.  
Cases with LAMs should be placed on stands, shelves or in  
cupboards at dry heated and ventilated premises in  
accordance with Storage conditions as described in  
Specifications.  
It is unacceptable to keep LAMs on the floor, near stoves or  
windows that let through direct sunrays.  
Presence of acid and alkaline vapor, as well as of other  
aggressive admixtures in the air in the storage area may cause  
damage to LAM.  
After 4 years of storage, it is necessary to perform thorough  
inspection of LAMs’ functionality.  
6.3. Transportation  
To prepare LAM for transportation:  
-
Turn LAM off by turning operating modes switch.  
15  
 
-
-
-
-
Cover aimer with protective cap.  
Disconnect the remote switch from the weapon.  
Dismount LAM from Picatinny rail.  
Pack LAM and remote switch into the case.  
When packed, LAMs can be transported by any covered  
means in accordance with storage conditions as described in  
this manual.  
When in operation, LAM is to be transported in its case or  
mounted on a weapon.
