2.1 SYSTEM DESCRIPTION
The DBAL-I
2
is a Class IIIa laser device that features an IR POINT and IR ILLUM
for use with a NVD. The IR beams can be operated individually or in combina-
tion, in both low power (LO PWR) and high power (HI PWR) settings.
The DBAL-I
2
is equipped with an IR POINT for precise aiming of the weapon
and a separate IR ILLUM for illumination of the target or target area. The IR
ILLUM provides supplemental illumination of the target area and is equipped
with an adjustable bezel to vary the size of the illumination beam.
The DBAL-I
2
can be used as either a handheld pointer/illuminator or can be
weapon mounted using a quick release mount. In the weapon mounted mode,
the DBAL-I
2
can be used to accurately direct fire as well as illuminate and
identify targets.
When the Safety Screw is installed in the rear of the DBAL-I
2
housing, it
prevents the operator from accessing the HIGH POWER modes of operation.
