1. BRIEF DESCRIPTION  
The AN daytime binoculars AN 8x30M22,  
The binoculars are designed and manufactured to military  
specifications and provide excellent brightness, image  
clarity and true image color. The built-in range finding  
reticle, M22 standard, enables measurements of horizontal  
and vertical angles, as well as calculation of height, width  
of the target and distance to the target.  
These binoculars are waterproof, shockproof and nitrogen  
filled. They are also rubber armoured and have a tripod  
socket.  
The binoculars feature foldable rubber eye cups and long  
eye relief to provide for comfort viewing with glasses or  
mask. Though many binoculars feature fold down eye  
cups, only the ones featuring a long eye relief offer a truly  
full view while wearing glasses.  
These binoculars meet the standards and requirements of  
GJB1240, GJB150 and MIL-STD810.  
The user can be confident whether the instrument is used  
in the military, security, traffic control, marine, aviation,  
or any other application requiring reliable and powerful  
optical equipment.

3. DESIGN AND APPEARANCE  
3.1 Optical design  
Optical design of the binoculars is presented on Fig. 1.  
1 – objective lens  
3 – reticle lens  
2 – erective prisms  
4 – eyepiece  
Fig. 1  
The light from the object or target you are looking at  
enters the binoculars through the objective lens system (1,  
4
 
Fig. 1). Due to the objective lens, the image at this point  
is turned upside down. However, as the image passes  
through the prism system, (known as the erective prisms)  
(2, Fig. 1) it becomes right side up (erect) and changed  
from right to left, to left to right. After the prisms the  
image rays pass through the reticle lens (3, Fig. 1) and  
then through the eyepiece (4, Fig. 1).  
3.2 Reticle  
Reticle lens (3, Fig. 1) contains vertical and horizontal  
lines that constitute an M22 reticle. Though reticle scales  
may form a cross or upside down T (Fig. 2, B) they share  
the same scale division value: each small division on both  
vertical and horizontal lines is 5 mils and each big  
division is 10 mils (360º equals 6400 mils).  
Reticle may have an addition scale composed of two lines  
(B, Fig.2).

6. OPERATION INSTRUCTIONS  
6.1 Interpupillary distance adjustment  
Prior to use you may like to adjust the binoculars to the  
distance between your eyes (interpupillary distance).  
Holding the binoculars in both hands rotate its halves  
until you see one round image.  
Note: The image may not be clear at this step. You will  
focus it in the next step.  
6.2 Focusing the binoculars  
The binoculars have independent focus.  
Independent focus  
To focus the binoculars raise the instrument to your eyes  
and close your right eye. With your left eye open focus  
the image by rotating eyepiece adjustment ring of the left  
eyepiece. Repeat the procedure for the other eye.  
Note: You may like to remember your dioptre settings to  
set them every time you use the binoculars.

6.3 Measuring horizontal angle using the reticle  
An M22 reticle built into these binoculars enables  
measuring height, distance and size of a target, as well as  
angle between two close targets. Though reticle  
appearance may differ from one model to another as  
described in 3.2, the description below is valid for all  
models.  
When the angle between two targets is smaller than the  
angle measuring range (100 mils), aim the scale line at  
one end of the reticle at the target then read the value of  
the scale at which another target was located on the  
reticle. As shown in Fig. 4, the horizontal angle of the  
target (tank) is 20 mils.  
Fig. 4.  
9
 
When the angle between two targets is larger than the  
angle measuring range (100 mils), it can be measured in  
several steps.  
The horizontal angle of cruiser shown in Fig. 5, is 130  
mils (60+70=130).  
Fig. 5.  
Vertical angle measurement is similar to horizontal angle  
measuring.  
When height of the target is smaller than the reticle scale,  
its height can be obtained in one measurement.  
The height of the beacon, shown in Fig. 6, is 65 mils.  
10  
 
For targets taller than the reticle scale, perform  
measurement in steps in the same way as it is described  
for the horizontal angle measurement.  
Fig. 6.

6.5 Using the reticle to calculate distance  
To determine the distance to the target use the formula:  
D = H/K,  
where  
D – distance to target in km,  
H – estimated height of the target in m,  
K – vertical angle of the target in mil.  
First, estimate the height (or width) of the target, then  
measure target’s horizontal (vertical) angle and calculate  
the distance.  
For example:  
Assuming an image of an adult human figure has a  
vertical angle of 10 mils and its height is 1.70m we can  
calculate the distance to it:  
L=H/K=1.7/10=0.170 (km) = 170 (m)  
6.6 Measuring distance directly using the reticle  
If reticle of your binoculars has an additional scale shown  
at Fig.7 distance to a target may be measured directly.  
12  
 
Fig. 7  
Place the lower edge of the target at the horizontal line on  
the reticle. The reading of the scale at the point where  
target’s 2 m level touches the scale is the distance in  
meters.  
Assuming that vehicle on the Fig. 7 is 2 m high; the  
distance to it is 550m.  
13  
 
6.7 Calculating target's size using angle readings  
To calculate height and width user will need to estimate  
the distance to the target and measure its horizontal and  
vertical angles. Then using the formula for distance  
measurement one can calculate target’s height:  
H=DxK,  
where K is vertical angle in mils,  
D is distance in meters and  
H is height in meters.  
For example: if distance to the target is 0.6 km and its  
horizontal angle is 30 mils and its vertical angle is 60  
mils, using the formula you can calculate:  
The height: H=0.6 x 30= 18 m  
The width: W=0.6 x 60=36 m

7. STORAGE AND MAINTENANCE  
The binoculars are precision optical instruments that  
should be carefully handled and properly maintained to  
keep them in a good working order.  
Clean the lenses after each use with special optical cloth.  
Never wipe the lenses with fingers; grease may damage  
the optics coating. Never use anything to wipe the lenses  
except special optical cleaning cloth.  
The eyepieces provide a wide dioptre adjustment; do not  
turn them beyond the factory set stop. Forcing eyepieces  
beyond this point will cause damage and make the  
binoculars inoperable.  
Avoid any extreme vibration or shock of the binoculars.  
This may damage the internal optics.  
Store the binoculars in a dry well ventilated place.  
If you find the binoculars not working properly, do not  
attempt repairing it yourself as this may void any  
warranty. Always deliver the binoculars to a professional  
optics repair. If one is not readily available, then send it  
back to the factory.
