6. Adapters
Quick-release PSP-B bayonet
The Pulsar Krypton 2 thermal clip on imaging attachment is mounted on
the adapter using a four-point bayonet. The bayonet coupling is highly
reliable and quick and easy to attach. The attachment is removed from
one adapter and installed on another with no need for special tools,
allowing you to quickly and easily turn various daytime optics in the
hunter’s arsenal into thermal imaging optics. The precise screen
positioning mechanism enables the perfect alignment of the thermal or
night vision image in the field of view of daylight optics for maximum
viewing comfort.
Pulsar PSP-B Adapter Sizing
The PSP-B Adapter comes in 3 different sizes listed below
- PSP-B 42 to suit objective sizes 45.5mm – 50.6mm
- PSP-B 50 to suit objective sizes 51.6mm – 59.6mm
- PSP-B 56 to suit objective sizes 59.7mm – 65.6mm
Rusan Modular Adapters
The Pulsar Krypton 2 can also be mounted to the scope using a Rusan
Modular Adapter. These are the ultimate quick release system for your
Krypton 2 with return to zero and perfect optical alignment everytime.
To get the correct size, measure the OUTER Diameter of your objective
in mm. That equates to the size required. (i.e 52mm OUTER Diameter
objective requires the MAR-52)
A different adaptor is required for each scope of different objective diameter.
The Rusan Modular Adapter (MAR) will need to be paired with an appropriate adapter connector ring in order to be used.
The Adapter Ring required for the Pulsar Krypton 2 is the MCR-M35P.
