1 PRESENTATION

Aimpoint ® Micro T-2 is a small, light and rugged red dot sight developed for military and law enforcement applications.

Aimpoint red dot sights are designed for the ”two eyes open” method which greatly enhances situational awareness and target acquisition.

Thanks to the parallax-free design the red dot follows the movement of the user’s eye while remaining fixed on target, eliminating any need for centering. Micro T-2 allow for unlimited eye relief and is compatible with

1st, 2nd and 3rd generation Night Vision Devices (NVD).

Aimpoint Micro series sights are using the Advanced Circuit Efficiency

Technology (ACET), combining superior accuracy and ease of use with significantly low power usage. With the Micro series sights, Aimpoint has introduced an aiming system which gives the performance of our fullsized sights in the smallest possible package.

2 OPERATION UNDER NORMAL CONDITIONS

2.1 ASSEMBLY AND PREPARATION

WARNING: Ensure that the weapon is not loaded and that the safety selector is in the ”safe” position before attempting to install, remove or perform maintenance.

2.1.1 Install Battery

a. Remove Battery cap (6) using the Tool (13B). b. Insert Battery (7) with the positive end (+) toward Battery cap (6) as can be seen in Fig 1.

CAUTION: Check that the O-ring is in good condition and in position to ensure that there will be no water leakage into the battery compartment.

c. Turn to the Rotary switch (8) to intensity setting 12 (max.) and tighten the Battery cap (6) with the Tool (13B). When resistance is encountered, proceed to tighten until the Battery cap (6) comes to a stop.

d. Verify that the red dot is present and that there is zero gap between the Battery cap (6) and the battery compartment.

2.1.2 Install the Aimpoint

®

Micro series sight on a weapon

If the Micro sight is equipped with a mount for installation on Picatinny rail follow the procedure below. For installation with other mounting solutions see accompanying instruction. a. Loosen the Shaft (15) with the Tool (13C), to clamp the Locking bar

(14) around the Picatinny rail b. With the Shaft (15) (=recoil stop) positioned in a groove on the

Picatinny rail, push the sight with mount forward and tighten the Shaft

(15) using the Tool (13C). c. Tighten the Shaft (15) until a light resistance is encountered. Proceed with another 1/4 to 1/2 turn until fully tightened.

CAUTION: Do not overtighten.

d. Complete zeroing according to 2.2.1.

2.2 OPERATING PROCEDURES

2.2.1 Zeroing

The sight is delivered with the red dot in a centered position. Normally this means that only small adjustments are necessary, providing that the weapon rail is properly aligned.

CAUTION: Do not continue to adjust windage and elevation mechanisms if you encounter resistance.

a. Open Lens covers (11) (12).

b. Turn the Rotary switch (8) clockwise until the red dot has a suitable intensity to contrast against the target.

c. To access the Elevation adjustment screw (4) and the Windage adjustment screw (5), remove the Adjustment cap (2) and the Cap (3).

See Fig. 2.

d. The Adjustment Cap (2) or the Tool (13A) must be used to turn the

Adjustment screws. Place the knobs on the Adjustment cap (2) into the recesses on the Adjustment screws (4) (5). See Fig. 3.

Fig. 3 Adjustment cap e. Windage adjustments (See Fig. 4)

– To move the point of impact to the right, turn Windage adjustment screw (5) counter clockwise.

– To move the point of impact to the left, turn Windage adjustment screw (5) clockwise.

Elevation adjustments (See Fig. 5)

– To move the point of impact up, turn Elevation adjustment screw

(4) counter clockwise.

– To move the point of impact down, turn Elevation adjustment screw (4) clockwise.

NOTE: Each click of the Adjustment screws (4) (5) corresponds to a

13 mm movement of the point of impact at 100 m or 1/2” at 100 yds).

Fig. 4 Windage adjustments Fig. 5 Elevation adjustments f. Confirm zeroing by firing at least three shots at a zeroing target. Check points of impact to confirm accuracy and repeat above procedure if required.

g. After initial firing, ensure that the sight with mount is securely installed on the weapon.

3 OPERATION UNDER EXTREME CONDITIONS

a. Extreme heat (moist or dry): no special procedures required.

b. Extreme cold: extreme cold might shorten battery life. The Rotary switch (8) can be more difficult to operate than at normal temperatures.

c. Salt air: no special procedures required.

d. Sea spray, water, mud and snow: ensure that the Battery cap

(6), the Adjustment cap (2) and the Cap (3) are tightened before exposing the sight to sea spray, mud, snow or before submerging the sight in water. Tighten the Adjustment cap (2) and the cap (3) by hand, and use the Tool (13B) to tighten the Battery cap (6). Keep

Lens covers (11) (12) closed when the sight is not being used.

Clean lenses with lens paper/cloth and wipe the sight dry as soon as possible after exposure to water, sea spray, mud or snow.

e. Dust storms and sand storms: keep Lens covers (11) (12) closed when the sight is not being used.

f. High altitudes: no special procedures required.

CAUTION: Never clean the lenses with fingers. Use lens paper/cloth. If lens paper/cloth is not available:

– To clear away debris (sand, grass etc.): blow away the dirt or rinse with clear water.

– To clean lenses: mist up the lenses or rinse with clear water and clean them with a soft piece of cloth.

4 TROUBLESHOOTING

The red dot does not appear or has disappeared

Clean contact surfaces in the battery compartment and verify that the

Battery (7) is working and that it is installed correctly according to 2.1.1.

Verify that there is zero gap between the Battery cap (6) and the battery compartment. See Fig. 6. If the Rotary switch (8) is defective, notify local dealer/armourer.

Fig. 6 The battery compartment with battery cap

The sight is impossible to zero

If an adjustment screw (4) (5) is at its limit, check the alignment of mount and barrel. If point of impact is moving, check the stability of mount and weapon rail (or carry handle).

The front lens of the sight is tilted. Has the sight been damaged?

No. The optical system is designed for the front lens to be mounted in this way.

5 MAINTENANCE

a. No particular maintenance is required while used under normal conditions. b. During severe weather conditions please refer to section 3.

c. Always keep Lens covers (11) (12) closed when the sight is not in use.

d. Storage: remove Battery (7) and allow lens surfaces to dry completely (if wet) before closing Lens covers (11) (12).

e. To clean lenses refer to CAUTION in section 3.

5.1 BASE INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

To avoid damage to the Sight (1) and for the proper assembly of the Base

(9) onto the Sight (1), the small original screws (M3x4) must be tightened by hand and with the Tool (13C).

CAUTION: Do not use thread locking fluid as it may damage the thread inserts of the Sight (1).

1. Place the Sight (1) upside down in your hand.

2. Press the Base (9) against the Sight (1) and verify that there is zero gap.

3. Install the Screws (10) in a crosswise pattern. Tighten each screw until a resistance is encountered. Proceed with another 1/4 turn until fully tightened. This is equivalent to 1.35 Nm of torque.

CAUTION: Do not overtighten.
