The Telos product line is intended to adapt to the ever-changing needs of a particular hunter. It is the first line of thermal imaging devices on the market offering the option of a technical upgrade.
Become a Telos owner and you will be able to improve and upgrade your
device in the future. You will be free to change to more powerful
optics, add a higher resolution sensor or display and more efficient and
functional electronic parts. You will even be able to equip your device
with a laser rangefinder and additional optical channels so it will
always be relevant for you and cost effective.
This new unique Pulsar solution is currently in the development phase
and will be introduced in 2024. All Telos monoculars purchased in 2023
will be eligible for the upgrade as soon as this service starts.
Extreme thermal sensitivity
For us Telos is synonymous with superior quality and timeless
solutions. Let’s take a closer look at this magnificent device, freshly
delivered from our manufacturing.
The first to represent the line is the Telos LRF XP50 thermal imaging monocular equipped with the best European made Lynred sensor with a 640x480 resolution and @17 microns pixel pitch.
The real game changer is its extreme NETD thermal sensitivity under 18 milliKelvin. This sensor quality guarantees simply stunning thermal imaging capabilities even in the most severe weather conditions.
Add the fast-aperture F50/1.0 germanium lens, and you have the highest possible quality and most detailed and informative image in any hunting conditions.
The new Telos LRF is ideal for detecting an object from greater distances. Use the built-in precise laser rangefinder
for quick and error-free distance determination. The LRF measures
distances of up to 1 kilometer in single measurements and continuous
scanning modes.
Advanced Pulsar image boost technology
All Telos models will feature in-house developed advanced Pulsar image boost technology. This brings Telos thermal imaging to the highest level of detail, clarity and contrast.
The device is able to depict complex scenes in a wide range of
halftones – even low contrast objects such as the sky, grass or water
surfaces. Plus, software detailing and sharpening of objects at
different distances makes the image highly informative.
Manually increasing the thermal imaging sensor sensitivity improves
detection quality when observation conditions worsen. A smoothing filter
and a wide range of brightness and contrast settings make prolonged
observation more comfortable.
Designed for user needs
In a Telos device, the image can be easily adjusted with one hand. The classic smooth digital zoom and focusing rings
are located on the lens in the classic layout, one by one, like
professional cameras, which is ideal for both left- and right-handed
hunters. The consistent arrangement of the rings enables getting a clear
image with the desired magnification quickly and with minimal effort.
The vertical symmetrical layout of the control buttons allows Telos to be used with both hands with the same comfort level – the buttons are located in a row on the top panel. And the attachable hand strap can be moved to the right or left side of the device according to your preferences.
For even more adaptability and comfort of use, the Telos offers customizable controls and a user interface.
These new thermal imaging monoculars are characterized by advanced
functionality, but determining the priority of a particular function is
the privilege of the user who is free to reorder the menu items and
determine the button functions.
Ready for the toughest conditions
You will be able to use the new Telos LRF XP50 for observation for more than 8 hours on a single battery charge. The brand new LPS 7i quickly replaceable Li-ion battery
doesn’t require special chargers – simply connect it to any network
adapter via the USB Type-C port and charge it using the Power Delivery
fast charging protocol. Moreover, the LPS 7i battery supports wireless
charging.
The Telos thermal imaging monoculars have been designed for tough wilderness conditions.
They work properly under an extreme range of temperatures from -25 to
+50 °C. The devices are completely waterproof when fully immersed in
water.
Moreover, the rubberized body of the Telos is exceptional quality and wear resistant.
It is non-slip in humid conditions and holds firmly and very naturally
in the hand of the hunter. Plus, the housing is easy to clean and
retains its original appearance for a long time.
Taylor-made ergonomic and functional carrying case
The new Telos comes in a stylish, user-friendly and comfortable case.
Tailor-made for this device, it is ideal when a hunter is moving a lot
and fast and needs to be able to quickly remove or put the device in the
case.
The system of attachment belts distributes the weight optimally on
the hunter’s body, taking the weight off the shoulders, back and neck
and allowing free movement, bending and turning without fear the device
will fall out. Additionally, the Telos case is equipped with straps for
attachment to a waist belt, as well as a modular Molle attachment
system, including backpacks and webbed gears.

Q & A
Where are the Pulsar Telos LRF XP50 monocular made?
The Pulsar Telos LRF XP50 thermal monocular are made by Pulsar, a brand under Yukon Advanced Optics Worldwide, which is headquartered in Lithuania.
Pulsar designs and manufactures its thermal imaging products, including
the Telos LRF XP50, in Lithuania, with strict quality control and
advanced technology integrated into its devices. The company is known
for producing high-quality optics and thermal equipment that are widely
used in hunting, law enforcement, and outdoor activities.
How long will the monocular last, do they degrade over time?
The Pulsar Telos LRF XP50
thermal monocular would be a great fit for your needs, especially for
spotting wildlife, like bears, in low-light conditions. They offer
advanced thermal imaging and feature an integrated laser rangefinder,
giving precise distance measurements up to 1,000 meters, which can be
crucial for your safety and wildlife observation.
Longevity and Durability
The Telos LRF XP50 is designed to be rugged and long-lasting, with an IPX7
waterproof rating, magnesium alloy body, and shock resistance, making
it well-suited for rough environments like oil and gas camps. As for how
long they last:
1. Battery Life:
They offer up to 10 hours of battery life on a single charge, which
should easily cover your night excursions. With rechargeable batteries,
you won't need to worry about replacing them frequently.
2. Optical and Sensor Longevity:
Thermal sensors typically do not degrade significantly over time,
unlike image intensifier tubes in night vision devices. Pulsar’s
advanced thermal technology ensures that even after several years, the
device should maintain high performance. However, extreme exposure to
heat, cold, or physical damage can impact the sensor's accuracy over
time.
3. General Wear and Tear:
Components like lenses, buttons, and housing can experience wear,
especially with heavy use. Regular maintenance and protective storage
will help extend the lifespan. Pulsar generally offers good after-sale
service, and with proper care, your XP50 should last for many years
without any major performance degradation.
