Performance
White light is selected as standard and is highly recommended to preserve coloured legend. (Green light prevents differentiation of coloured legend). Map Readers are available with either two or four Betalights, each 600µL brightness, depending on customer preference. Both versions enable maps to be read with clarity in twilight and darkness. Positioning of the lamps at the base of the unit increases security. The solid lens is a key feature in preventing ingress of moisture and accumulation of condensation over time in adverse environmental conditions. Light output is not affected by temperature, humidity, altitude or operational plane.

Typical Applications

• All military map reading applications, particularly in adverse climatic conditions and where security in forward areas is vital
• As an artillery and armoured vehicle manoeuvres aid

Operation
Map Readers are self-illuminating, requiring no batteries or secondary light source. They are suitable for use in hazardous atmospheres and will continue to operate normally in adverse environmental conditions, even when immersed in water. Rated for operation in temperatures between -60 C and 70 C.

Illumination
Illumination is provided by Betalights® fixed securely within the unit. SRB Technologies is the original developer of Betalights®, innovative technology that uses gaseous tritium activation of phosphor within a sealed borosilicate glass tube to produce light. Betalights® are self-luminous light sources that provide absolute reliability throughout their service life. They contain no moving parts and are maintenance-free. As the Map Reader is continuously illuminated, an on-off switch is not required.
