ACT DTNVS-MG FAQs

What is manual gain and why do I need it? 

Manual gain lets you control how bright the picture is on your DTNVS Manual Gain by turning a knob. This helps you get the clearest possible view in different light levels. It is a new feature that handles all the device functions from the main switch.

What is the built-in IR illuminator for? 

The IR illuminator is a special flashlight that only night vision can see. It helps you see in complete darkness when you are in small or close spaces. When it is on, you will see a light indicator in your view so you know it is working.

What does Gen 3 White Phosphor mean?

 Gen 3 is the standard for high-performance night vision used by the military. White Phosphor means the image you see will be in black and white. Many people find this easier on the eyes than the old green color.

What is SNR?

 SNR stands for Signal-to-Noise Ratio. It tells you how clean the image is compared to the "static" you might see in the dark. A higher number means a clearer picture with less fuzziness

What is FOM and why does it matter? 

FOM stands for "Figure of Merit." It is a number that tells you the overall performance level of the night vision tube. A higher FOM generally means the image will be cleaner and sharper.

How does the flip-up shut-off work?

 You can flip each eyepiece up to the side one at a time, and it will turn off automatically. This saves battery life and keeps light from reflecting off your face onto your helmet. A single battery can last up to 35 hours because of this feature.

Is the act in black DTNVS waterproof? 

Yes, the housing is waterproof and can be underwater at 66 feet for two hours. It is built to meet tough military standards so you can use it in any weather.

How do I know my DTNVS MG is built correctly? 

Every unit is put through precision alignment and nitrogen purging on professional Hoffman ANV-126A equipment. This process provides a clear image without eye strain so the gear is ready for real-world use.

How can I get different housing colors or special lenses? 

You can order your ACT in Black Dual Tube Night Vision System Manual Gain in different colors to match your other gear. We also offer high-end lenses like the RPO 4.0 for a lighter setup or the Boomslang 50-degree lenses for a wider view. For these special orders, you will need to submit a request for a quote here.

Why is it not recommended to use rechargeable batteries in the DTNBS mg? 

Rechargeable batteries are prone to leaking, which can cause significant damage to the sensitive electronics and parts inside. This leakage can result in malfunctions or even complete failure of the device.

What type of batteries should I use for my DTNVS mg? 

It is highly recommended to use lithium batteries for night vision goggles. Lithium batteries are more stable and less likely to leak, which helps your gear last longer and perform at its best.

What should I do if my DTNVS manual gain does not turn on? 

If your device does not turn on, follow these steps:

• Check the Battery Orientation: Ensure that the batteries are put in the right way. The direction must match the symbols shown on the device.
• Replace with New Batteries: If the batteries are in correctly but it still will not turn on, try a brand new set of lithium batteries. Often, the issue is simply that the old batteries are empty.
