The PVS-14E is a rugged, lightweight night vision monocular, an updated version of the PVS-14. It can be used handheld, mounted on the included head harness, or mounted to a traditional ballistic helmet. It is waterproof and conforms to 810G military standards.
It has a more compact lens and eyepiece, and the whole unit weighs 10.2 oz (290 g). It runs on AA or CR123 batteries. An electronic polarity switching system means the battery can go into the compartment in either orientation.
Controls include manual gain control and a built-in infrared (IR) illuminator. An advanced auto shut-off system turns the unit off when it is articulated to the side and back on when it returns to the operating position. An automatic bright light shut-off protects the photocathode tube and turns the device back on when the light level drops below the threshold.
