Trijicon IR Patrol LE100 Thermal Monocular 640x480

From Night Vision Guys about IR Patrol LE100 Thermal Monocular.

The Trijicon IR Patrol LE100 is the entry level IR Patrol system.  This monocular features 640x480 sensor with 30hz refresh rate.  This model is meant as a basic handheld thermal monoc based on BAE systems thermal core.  It features great ergonomics and excellent software features.  If you need video capture, helmet mounting, or weapon mounting capability, you will have to pick one of the other models in the IR Patrol line.

Overall we recommend LE100 to professionals in the field who need a simple to use but full of capabilities handheld thermal ideal for search and rescue, security and tactical operations. 

From the market about IR Patrol Thermal Monocular LE100

The IR Patrol Series thermal monoculars from IR Defense Corporation, is designed for military applications and performance at a consumer price. Utilizing MILSPEC BAE Systems 12 Micron Thermal Cores and eMagin OLED 10,000:1 Contrast VGA Displays, IR Patrol Monoculars feature some of the most advanced performance on the market today. Compact, Lightweight, and Rugged, IR Patrol Thermal Monoculars are ready for any mission from the battlefield to the hunting field.

IR Patrol Thermal Monoculars feature easy-to-use controls at the tip of the thumb. A large, recessed thumb stick provides users the ability to access all features and menus in the unit from a single spot. The thumb stick is extremely intuitive and easy to find with or without gloves. The recessed location helps to index the users’ thumb to the controller while keeping it protected from accidental actuation. All menus and features are easily navigated from this point. The housing is machined 6061 aircraft grade aluminum, providing incredible shock protection from field abuse.

Internally, IR Patrol Thermal Monoculars are incredibly advanced. Powered by the new BAE Systems MicroIR Thermal Core, the IR Patrol boasts incredible 12 Micron performance. This provides a 50% increase in magnification during digital zoom compared to most other cores. IR Defense uses a state of the art processor that operates on a true digital format, supplying RGB digital video to the display. Speaking of displays; IR Patrols present their video on eMagin VGA Digital 640×480 OLED Displays. This is a pixel-to-pixel match with the thermal sensor, producing a perfectly clear and sharp image to the user; no up-sizing or down-sizing to effect image quality.

The IR Patrol LE100 and LE100C are the entry level models in the IR Patrol lineup. They feature 640×480 resolution running at a 30hz frame rate. Polarity Swap with MaxPol Control, Digital Electronic Zoom, Brightness and DFC Digital Focus are all standard. The LE100 Series is designed as a handheld thermal monocular only. Comes with a section of M1913 Picatinny Rail for mounting accessories directly to the unit such as lights and lasers.

The LE100C is identical to the LE100 with the addition of image capture. It will capture still images only that can be later downloaded with the included download cable.

IR PATROL Specifications

SENSOR SPECIFICATIONS

Trijicon IR Patrol LE100 Series Thermal Monocular

640×480 Resolution
Higher resolution shows more detail, so a state-of-the-art 640×480 sensor is used, and the fully digital RGB signal is passed to a 640×480 OLED display, maintaining a crisp 1:1 pixel ratio.

Thumb Stick System Controller
The IR PATROL comes standard with a fully ruggedized weatherproof multi-direction thumb stick controller. The large, easy-to-find-in-the-dark control surpasses the conventional buttons found on most other thermal imaging systems.

Built-In Mini Picatinny Rail
A mini picatinny rail is built into the IR PATROL housing, which facilitates a wide range of mounting options. Red, green, and even IR lasers can be mounted for hand-off capabilities. Or a white light can be mounted for a hands free flashlight. Add a mini reflex optic for day/night weapon sighting and CQB operations.

60Hz Frame Rate
You will be amazed by how the 60Hz frame rate makes helmet mounting work so well (M250 & M300W). A Wilcox adapter kit makes it easy to fit the system to most helmets for hands free operation, and with a dual bridge the thermal monocular can be paired with a NV monocular for a fusion system.

Afocal Magnifiers (Lens Multipliers)
2x and 3x afocal magnifiers double or triple the magnification of the standard 1x lens. The magnifiers provide and easy and cost effective way to get long range magnification, and by simply removing it, you’re at your wide angle. These are shock resistant AR coated germanium lenses with a DLC hard carbon coating.

E-Zoom
Provides 2x, 4x, and 8x digital magnification. (Each increase reduces system resolution.)

DFC — Digital Focus Control
Softens or sharpens the image. Works with DCE (Digital Contrast Enhancement) for finer detail, more contrast, and greater depth are simply achieved with a toggle and press of the thumb stick. Non-Uniform Calibration or “NUC” can also be applied to improve image quality.

MaxPol Polarity Control
The IR PATROL comes with an easy to control polarity mode that lets you switch between three levels of White Hot and three levels of Black Hot. Other thermal systems offer just one level, which is often inadequate for the job. Having low, medium, and high levels provides you with an effective choice.

Edge Detect Tactical Mode
The IR PATROL M250 and M300W systems come with an Edge Detect mode that gives you an entirely new way to view your target. It operates at just a fraction of the brightness of other modes, so your eyes won’t be as susceptible to night blindness from the screen.

Image Capture & Video Download
Export what the IR PATROL sees to external computers and displays. (Not available with LE100. Image Capture only with LE100C.) For reliability and durability in harsh environments, Fischer high end connectors are used, rather than the low cost alternatives used in other scopes.
