OVERVIEW

Hoffman’s NVG-105 Light Leak Filter Kit is an easy solution for converting your existing ANVIS-6, ANVIS-9 or F-4949 Night Vision Goggles into an Inspection Scope for light leak checks.

In the event of a failure to pass the NVG Conformity Test, Inspection Scopes are a required tool for identifying light leaks per DO-275. The NVG-105 utilizes a precise filter that allows the user to identify non-compliant devices that would decrease night vision goggle visual acuity. The kit is an easy to use, cost-effective way to evaluate a crew station lighting to ensure flight safety.

Ideal scenarios for NVG-105 use include:

• Preflight inspection
• Recurring inspections
• Evaluation of newly installed instruments
• Evaluation after instruments have been serviced and/or repaired
• Local protocol for aircraft inspection

OVERVIEW

The ANV-060 is a simple low cost system designed to provide users the ability to verify proper operation of the AN/AVS-9 and AN/AVS-6 Battery Circuits.

This test set uses standard goggle component interfaces making the system easy to use and assure accurate electrical assessment. The system streamlines the required preventative maintenance checks and service of helmet mount assemblies while eliminating possible electrical or physical damage to the assemblies during testing. The system will evaluate HGU-55/P helmet mount assemblies used with F4949 Night Vision Goggle models C, D, G & L. The standard ‘AA’ battery cartridge allows the system to evaluate SPH-4AF helmet battery packs used with F4949 models F & H and AN/AVS-6. The system requires annual calibration done by Hoffman Engineering’s NIST traceable laboratory and complies with the testing requirements called out in Air Force TO-12S10-2AVS9-2 and Navy NAVAIR-16-35AVS9-2.

OVERVIEW

Hoffman Engineering, the recognized leader in the design and manufacture of Night Vision Device test and maintenance equipment, introduces a unique new test clip to verify Helmet Mount battery circuit continuity.

The ANV-055 is a simple, low-cost system designed to provide maintainers of Night Vision Devices with the ability to verify proper operation of the AN/AVS-9 and AN/AVS-6 Battery Circuits without the use of test probes and a multimeter. This test clip uses standard goggle component interfaces making the system easy to use and assuring accurate electrical continuity assessment. The system streamlines the required preventative maintenance checks and service of helmet mount assemblies. The ANV-055 will evaluate all mounts in which standard ANVIS helmet mount assemblies are used. The Battery Circuit Continuity Tester requires no annual calibration and complies with the testing requirements for 90 and 180-day checks.

OVERVIEW

Hoffman’s ANV-126-085 Calibration Set is designed to calibrate the ANV-126-001, ANV-126A-001 and ANV-20/20 in the field.

These systems all require an annual calibration for operation. By using this system, the ANV-126-085, you will be able to calibrate your equipment in the field with only the need to send the ANV-126-085 Calibration Kit back once a year for service. The advantages of using this equipment include time saved during shipment of equipment back and forth for calibration, reduced chance of damage to equipment during shipment, easier maintenance of equipment in overseas locations and long term savings through a reduction in calibration expenses. The equipment is simple to use and comes with a step by step manual. For more information please contact a Hoffman Representative.

OVERVIEW

Hoffman’s ANV-126A Digital NVD Test Set is available as an “In the Field” upgrade to your existing ANV-126-XXX NVD Test Set.

The upgrade configuration is performed at your location by your PMEL (or equivalent) swapping out the Primary Module with a new Digital Module and then returning the old module back to the factory. This upgrade does not require the purchase of new items for the unit as existing ANV-126 accessories are fully compatible to the new Digital Configuration allowing you to keep your existing accessories and case.

*The ANV-126A-UG/F is also available as a “Factory” Upgrade. Special ordering instructions apply.
Please contact your Hoffman Representative for additional information.

OVERVIEW

Hoffman’s Night Vision Image Tube Quality Test System, ANV-110DQ, is a self-contained system designed to perform the Image Quality tests required to verify the performance of Night Vision Image Intensifier Tubes.

Test capabilities of the ANV-110DQ System include: Center and Peripheral Resolution (High Light and Low Light); Image Quality (Dark/Bright Spots, Chicken Wire); Distortion; Fixed Pattern Noise; Cathode Diameter and Halo. Each of these tests has a unique reticle, selectable on a 6-position reticle wheel. The ANV-110DQ optical system provides the necessary optics to accurately project the selected reticle onto the Photocathode of the image tube under test. The optical system also allows the operator to focus the image onto the photocathode without changing the magnification of the reticle image. The ANV-110DQ features a proprietary Image Tube Holder system to correctly position and provide power to the Image Tube under test. Image Tube Holders are available for most commonly available image tube types*. The ANV-110DQ also features an accurate and stable light source for testing image quality and resolution. A stereo-zoom microscope is provided to view image quality and measure defect sizes using interchangeable eyepiece reticles.

OVERVIEW

The ANV-120A Night Vision Device (NVD) Gain Bench consists of a 12-inch integrated sphere with a special low-light-level lamp source and variable aperture.

An amplified detector probe with adapters that fit over the eyepiece of the goggle or night scope under test, and an electronics console which provides power and display functions for the set.

The system is self-contained for measurement of goggle gain in terms of output luminance per unit of input luminance. The test set digital displays indicate source lamp current, source luminance, in footlamberts, output screen luminance in footlamberts, goggle voltage and current demand, and system gain. The lamp source housing has a series of fixed and variable apertures, which attenuate the light entering the sphere from a 10-watt quartz-halogen lamp. The amount of light projected into the sphere is controlled by a log taper aperture driven by a micrometer. Nearly all NVD types can be tested through the use of eyepiece and objective ANV-126AXXX adapters that are sold separately. The ANV-120A is a laboratory grade instrument with complete system calibration and NIST traceability.
