EOTech G-Series - User Manual

INTRODUCTION
ank you for purchasing a new EOTECH magnier. ese
magniers oer users of the Holographic Weapon Sight (all
models) the additional advantage of vastly improved target rec-
ognition and increased lethality at medium range distances. e
STS mount allows the user the ability to engage the enemy with condence in a Close Quarters Battle (CQB)
situation or at distances out to 600 meters or more. is user manual describes the features of the EOTECH
Magniers and provides information on their use and maintenance. Please read the instructions carefully
before mounting and using the magnier. Always practice proper rearm safety.
OPTIC CONFIGURATION
e EOTECH Holographic Weapon Sight (HWS)
product line has two dierent heights above the rail
based on user preference. For this reason, the mag-
nier does not come preassembled to the mount.
It is user congurable based on the specic model
HWS it will be mounted behind. e 7mm riser,
included, may be required to align the magnier
optical axis with the sight. Only HWS models with
side buttons or quick detach levers require the use of
the riser. For all other HWS models, the riser should
not be used.
e magnier system can be congured to switch to the le or to the right based on shooting preference.
Typically, right handed shooters prefer the mount to switch to the right, and le handed shooters to the le.
To congure your HWS you will need a screwdriver (not included). If the riser is not used, the shorter screws
should be selected. e longer screws are used with the riser only. If the riser is being used, place the riser
on the optic mounting interface. Open the STS mount. Position the mount on the optic mount interface (or
riser) so it opens either to the le or right (based on preference). Insert each screw through the components,
and tighten securely. If using a torque wrench, the screws should be tightened to 24 in-lbs. Note: If you
purchased the magnier as part of an HHS combo kit, the screw pack will not be included as the magnifer
comes preassmbled.

BASIC OPERATION
e G-Series magniers are designed to be used behind an EOTECH Holographic Weapon Sight (HWS). e
magnier can be mounted directly behind the HWS. Simply switch the magnier out of the way and operate
the sight. When used with HWS models 518, 558, 556, 517, EXPS or 516 HWS (with side button interface) the
user can easily operate the sight even with the magnier in the locked position.
Positioning the Reticle:
Once the magnier is installed properly behind the HWS, it may be necessary to re-zero the sight. is may
be due to the shooter’s ability to see the target and Point of Impact (POI) more accurately than without the
magnier. Re-zeroing the sight will prevent a perceived shi in POI when going from no magnication to
magnication.
RETICLE POSITION ADJUSTMENTS
Aer zeroing or re-zeroing the sight, it may be necessary to reposition the reticle image into the center of the
magnier window. is is aesthetic in nature and has no aect on the sight’s zero. Turn the horizontal and
vertical adjustments on the top or side of
the magnier by hand, with a coin or a
at head screwdriver to reposition reticle
to the desired position.
SWITCH OPERATION
To switch the magnier to the side,
simply push the optic to the right or le,
depending on how it is mounted. To close
the mount, push the magnier back into
its original position until a hard stop is
achieved.
ADJUSTABLE DIOPTER
e optic includes an adjustable diopter that allows the user to customize the
focus to their particular vision. is feature ensures a crisp, clean aiming dot
for more precision and shot placement. To adjust, simply grasp the diopter
with the thumb and fore nger and turn either clockwise or counter-clockwise
until a clear sight picture is achieved.
Note: Depending on the users vision, you may observe a small change to the
magnication during diopter adjustment.

The EOTECH G-Series Magnifier is an optical accessory designed to enhance the capabilities of EOTECH Holographic Weapon Sights (HWS), improving target recognition and lethality at medium range distances. It is specifically intended for use with HWS models that incorporate the Switch to Side (STS) mount, allowing users to quickly transition between magnified and unmagnified viewing.

Function Description:

The primary function of the G-Series Magnifier is to provide magnification for an EOTECH HWS, enabling more precise target acquisition and engagement at extended ranges. The STS mount allows the magnifier to be swiftly moved out of the line of sight when unmagnified viewing or close-quarters battle (CQB) is preferred, and then quickly returned to position for magnification. This versatility ensures that users can adapt to various combat situations, from CQB to distances up to 600 meters or more. The magnifier is designed to be mounted directly behind the HWS, and its optical axis can be aligned with the sight using an included 7mm riser, if necessary. The riser is typically required for HWS models with side buttons or quick detach levers. The system is ambidextrous, allowing configuration for the magnifier to switch to either the left or right side based on user preference.

Important Technical Specifications:

• Water-Resistant: 33 ft. (10m)
• Sealing: Fog-resistant internal optics
• Finish: Non-reflective / Rubber coated
• Optical Axis Adjustment: Internal adjustment
• Switch Orientation: Ambidextrous mount, allowing left or right flip
• Rail Interface: 1" Weaver or MIL-STD-1913 with Quick Detach lock
• Mounting Screws: Shorter screws for use without the riser; longer screws for use with the 7mm riser. Torque specification for screws: 24 in-lbs.
• Export Control: Controlled under Export Administration Regulations (EAR) ECCN 0A987.

Usage Features:

• Configurable Mounting: The magnifier does not come preassembled to the mount, allowing users to configure it based on their specific HWS model and preferred height. The 7mm riser is included for alignment with HWS models featuring side buttons or quick detach levers.
• Ambidextrous Switch: The magnifier system can be configured to switch to either the left or right side, accommodating both right-handed and left-handed shooters.
• Adjustable Diopter: The optic features an adjustable diopter, allowing users to customize the focus to their individual vision. This ensures a crisp and clear aiming dot. Adjustment is made by grasping and turning the diopter clockwise or counter-clockwise until a clear sight picture is achieved.
• Reticle Position Adjustments: After zeroing the HWS, the reticle image can be repositioned within the magnifier window for aesthetic centering. This is done by turning the horizontal and vertical adjustment dials on the top or side of the magnifier, using a coin or a flat-head screwdriver. These adjustments do not affect the sight's zero.
• Quick Detach Lever: The STS mount utilizes a quick detach lever for easy installation and removal from the weapon's rail. A locking button must be depressed to open the lever.
• Mount Tension Adjustment: The quick detach lever's tension can be adjusted to ensure a proper fit on the rail. This is done by turning an adjustment dial on the rail interface when the lever is in the open position.
• Compatibility: Designed for use with EOTECH HWS models 518, 558, 556, 517, EXPS, or 516 (with side button interface), allowing easy operation of the sight even with the magnifier in the locked position.
• Reticle Positioning: After installation, it may be necessary to re-zero the HWS to account for the user's improved ability to see the target and Point of Impact (POI) with magnification, preventing a perceived shift when transitioning between magnified and unmagnified views.

Maintenance Features:

• External Cleaning: The outside housing of the optic can be cleaned with a soft cloth. Water-based cleaners such as glass cleaner, ammonia, or soap and water are recommended. Solvents like alcohol or acetone should not be used.
• Lens Cleaning: Lenses, which are coated with anti-reflection material, should first be cleared of dirt and dust by blowing them away. Fingerprints and lubricants can be wiped off with lens tissue or a soft cotton cloth moistened with lens cleaning fluid or glass cleaner. Dry cloths or paper towels should not be used on the glass surfaces.
• STS Mount Hinge Lubrication: If the switch action of the STS mount becomes stiff due to wear, a common spray lubricant can be applied to the hinge portion of the mount.
• Sealed Unit: The optical cavity is purged, nitrogen-filled, and sealed for fog-proof performance. Disassembly of the magnifier is strictly prohibited as it will void the warranty and damage the unit.
