Description
The Laser Light Module LLM01 is an active aiming device for rapid, accurate, day and night firing at pop-up targets. LLM01 features a target marker (1/4) and a target illuminator (1/5) in the near infrared region, a red target marker (1/3) and a flashlight (1/2).
Caution! Fire Hazard! Do not switch the flashlight on with the window covered. Both laser markers can be adjusted independently in azimuth and elevation for adapting to the firearm to which LLM01 is fastened with an integral weapon adapter. The lasers and flashlight are activated by pushbuttons fitted in the housing, or by external triggers connected to the LLM01 by cables of desired lengths. Two 3V commercial lithium batteries supply LLM01 with power. The batteries are inserted into the battery case (2/6), which has integrated inverse-polarity protection.

Operating and maintenance
LLM01 is mounted to the weapon with an integral, quick-clamping adapter. The mounting plate (2/1) with LLM01 is placed on the weapon rail, the locking nut is tightened slightly by hand and the mounting plate is locked with the clamping device (2/2). 2
The operating mode switch (1/1) is set to the required function to start the device. The corresponding laser or illuminator is switched on with buttons 2/4 and 2/5 or with the external trigger. The equipment requires minimum maintenance. It is recommended to clean the lasers’ windows with a cloth, optical paper or cotton swabs as needed.

Special functions A, B, C, D
The special functions are available if they are enabled by the software.
Special function: A Both lasers can be switched on at the same time to check the adjustment Procedure:
1. 2.
Result:
Mode switch (1/1) “OFF” Press button (2/4) and (2/5) at the same time, turn (1/1) on at position ‚visible‘ and hold buttons for at least 3 seconds. Both lasers are on until the mode switch (1/1) is switched off.
Special function: B The function of the external trigger can be switched from button to switch or from switch to button, as required. Procedure:
1. 2.
Result:
Mode switch (1/1) to “OFF” Press button (2/4) and external trigger at the same time turn (1/1) at any position and hold buttons for at least 3 seconds. Once the changeover has occurred, the flashlight goes on to confirm the changeover.
Special function: C The function with the mode switch in setting 1 can be switched over from the target marker to the illuminator. The button functions on LLM 01 (2/4 and 2/5) are not changed Procedure:
Result:
1. 2.
Mode switch (1/1) to “OFF” Press button (2/4) and (2/5) at the same time, turn (1/1) on at any position and hold buttons for at least 3 seconds. Once the changeover has occurred, the flashlight goes on to confirm the changeover. 6
Special function: D If using the optional laser head or the flashlight IR Filter the function with the mode switch can be switched to Menu 6 The button functions on LLM 01 (2/4 and 2/5) change from Menu 3 to Menu 6 Procedure:
1. 2.
Result:
Mode switch (1/1) to “OFF” Press button (2/4) and (2/5) at the same time, turn (1/1) at position “IR” and hold buttons for min. 3 sec. The laser head or the flashlight is activated
Check and adjustment A night vision device must be used to adjust the infrared target marker to the weapon’s boresight. It is strongly recommended to perform the adjustment of the infrared and visible markers by clamping LLM01 to its weapon and using our Laser Boresighting Device (see Section 6 at page 6) and the LLM01 adjustment screws for azimuth (3/1) and for elevation (3/2) to align the markers to the Laser Boresighting Device’s target spot. Alternatively, the adjustment can be conducted with reference to the weapon’s own optical/mechanical sights. The weapon must be secured and prevented from falling down during adjustment .
Fig 4: Laser Boresighting Device
Fig 3: LLM01
The Laser Boresighting Device (LBD) materializes, by the use of a laser spot, the boresight of the weapon. Adjustable sights can then be aligned to the LBD’s laser spot. LBD is extremely simple to use and can accommodate calibers from 4.6 mm. through 40 mm. (grenade launchers). 7

Troubleshooting
Caution: The device must be opened only by the manufacturer (Caution: laser class 3b when opened). Inappropriate handling voids warranty. This includes incorrect installation to the firearm. Failure No function
Cause Battery dead Flashlight does not work, Laser works Batteries ok, Flashlight does not work Trigger does not work Push buttons do not work Mode switch inoperative
Remedy Replace battery Replace battery Replace bulb Replace trigger cable Return LLM01 to depot Return LLM01 to depot
Important! 1. LLM01 will not function if even one battery is inserted with the wrong polarity. 2. If both batteries are inserted with the wrong polarity, the flashlight will light up to warn the operator. Thus, in tactical conditions battery changes should be effected in a concealed fashion.

Laser safety
The described product is classified in laser class 3R as per EN 608251 : 2003 Accessible laser radiation is dangerous for the eyes when looking directly into the laser beam (even considering the eyelid reflex). The skin is not damaged by brief radiation exposure to lasers of this class . Looking at a diffuse reflection of a 3R-laser is normally harmless. The following precautions as per EN 60825-1:2003 are to be followed for lasers in class 3R: The laser should be operated only within a monitored area. Unintentional reflections should be avoided. The laser beam should end on diffuse material where possible. Eye protection is necessary if it is possible for either the direct or reflected beam to hit the eye. LASER RADIATION AVOID EXPOSURE TO BEAM CLASS 3R LASER PRODUCT ACCORDING TO DIN EN 60825:2003 P5mW ?? ? =650nm o
With the filter reduction in the blue frame, that can only be removed by a special tool, the power limits for the laser class 2M outside IR target illuminator the equipment are not Laser IR target exceeded. warning signs In this case, the directives for handling apply as per EN 60825-1: 2003 for class 2M. Since the limit value of the max. admissible irradiation for the Target wavelength concerned is not marker exceeded in lasers of this class, these are normally harmless. Precautionary measures are only necessary in order to prevent someone from looking continuously straight into the beam. Optical instruments which reduce the beam diameter pose increased danger no one is allowed to look straight into the laser beam (EN 60825-1:2003.) The operator is responsible for the compliance with safety precautions. 9
