TNV-14 Eyepiece Adapter(TNV-1401)

The TNV-14 Eyepiece Adapter consists of (see Fig. 1): an innerring with external thread that attaches to objective lens of the TNV/PVS-14 night vision monocular and a rotating outer ring (withengraved letters) that fits over the eyeguard groove of compatible
Tele Vue eyepieces or TNV-1448 Filter Holder. When the outer ringis rotated to the lock position a split compression ring is squeezed
outward (see Fig. 2). This compression ring expands into the grooveand locks the eyepieces to the adapter. Figure 3 shows a typicalapplication of the Eyepiece Adapter.

Installation• Spin the external thread side of the Eyepiece Adapter onto thePVS-14 objective housing thread (see Fig. 3).
• After attachment, if the compression ring is visible on the Eyepiece
Adapter, turn the outer ring counterclockwise away from the PVS-14
objective until the compression ring disappears.
• For mounting the Eyepiece Adapter on eyepieces, remove therubber eyeguard to reveal the eyeguard groove.
• Slide the Eyepiece Adapter over the eyeguard. Twist the rotating
ring of the Eyepiece Adapter clockwise so it moves back toward theFig 2. TNV-14 Eyepiece Adapter
PVS-14 unit. As the ring moves, the split compression ring tightens into shown with gap in split ring(arrowed) at bottom.
the groove.

The eyepiece should be firmly attached to the Eyepiece Adapter and PVS-14 so they
don’t rotate.

Tele Vue / TNVC Night Vision SystemThe Tele Vue / TNVC Partnership
In 2017, Tele Vue Optics Inc., of Chester, NY and Tactical Night Vision Company (TNVC) of Loma Linda,
CA, partnered to create a simple monocular and accessories package for the astronomical community.
The resulting combination of military-grade TNV/PVS-14 Gen3 night vision monocular and Tele Vue
custom eyepiece adapters resulted in positive reviews and a prestigious “Hot Products 2018” award
from the editors of Sky & Telescope magazine.

2018

For instructions
on use andmaintenanceof TNV-14, see
PVS-14 Instruction Manual.

Widefield VisualStand-alone monocular will deliver 1x and a 40° true field. Add the TNV-14 Eyepiece Adapter (TNV-1401) plus
TNV-14 Filter Holder 48mm (TNV-1448) to the objective lens of the TNV/PVS-14, thread on a 6nm hydrogen-alphafilter and enjoy a hand-held, sweeping views of the night sky. Imagine seeing Barnard’s Loop and surrounding Orion
constellation in its entirety!
Widefield Imaging
To the above, add a TNV-14 FoneMate Adapter (TNV-1402) to the monocular’s eyepiece and attach a FoneMate
smart phone mount (SFA-0001). Now use your smartphone to capture images and video of the sky.
Telescope Use
Ready for a 3-times effective aperture boost of your telescope, elevating your portable scope to light bucket performance? The TNV-14 Eyepiece Adapter (TNV-1401) turns select Tele Vue eyepieces into night vision eyepieces!
Simply thread the adapter onto the TNV/PVS-14’s objective, attach any compatible Tele Vue eyepiece (other side) tothe other end of the adapter and now you have afocal night vision from low to high power. Naturally, the larger theexit pupil, the more photons there are for the tube to multiply. So you don’t want to use an eyepiece that produces too
small of an exit pupil with your scope. Of course you can also image through the system with the TNV-14 FoneMate
Adapter (TNV-1402) / FoneMate Smart Phone to EP Adapter (SFA-0001) combo mentioned above and your phone.
Export of Night Vision Equipment or related accessories (such as manuals) is strictly regulated by the US Department ofState in accordance with the guidelines of the International Traffic in Arms Regulations (ITAR). It is a major crime to shipor carry US manufactured Gen3 night vision devices outside the borders of the United States, punishable by fines andprison sentences. Ignorance of these regulations will not hold up in court. By purchasing night vision equipment from
Tele Vue Optics, you attest that you will not attempt to export or carry this night vision equipment outside the bordersof the United States. Also, it is illegal to allow a non-US Citizen to look through US Gen3 Night Vision Devices, evenon US soil. Again, this is a crime punishable by fines and prison sentences. If/when such items are resold, the original
purchasing party must advise customers/end users of their duty to comply with U.S. export control regulations or face
the possibility of severe criminal and civil fines including imprisonment if convicted. The adapter accessories on thispage that can be ordered separately from the night vision monocular are not covered by ITAR restrictions.
