Friday Night Lights: Jerry-C AKA Chinese ECOTI

An infrared thermal imaging enhancement attachment, designed for the rapid upgrade, front-fusion, and multi-mode display of the equipment in service.

As a branch of ENVG (enhanced night vision goggle) products, Jerry-C Clip-on Thermal Imager can project long-wave thermal infrared images into the view of the I² and low-illumination night vision devices to directly realize thermal fusion without adjustment. This improves the search efficiency under complicated conditions and the perception capability under extreme low-illumination conditions (such as sandstorm, basement, cave, and abandoned houses).

The existing night vision devices can be upgraded to the thermal fusion type by using the clip-on fusion function without replacing them, greatly reducing the use cost of equipment.

The iRay Jerry CE5 is a Clip-On Thermal Imager that features a high 640x512 resolution, 12um sensor with a 50Hz refresh rate.

The CE5 easily attaches to existing night vision devices (NVDs) to instantly add thermal detection capabilities by overlaying a thermal image on top of the analog image intensified image, creating multi-spectrum capability and removing the need to switch to a completely separate device. Unlike legacy clip-on thermal devices, the Jerry CE5 provides over 30 degrees of thermal overlay for increased themal field of view. With a standard quick disconnect, the CE5 interfaces to any night vision devices that also accepts PVS-14 optics, such as DTNVS, Katana, RNVG, Sentinel, PVS-7, etc.

A common complaint of clip-on thermal imagers is the additional weight it adds to host systems and the limited battery life. The Jerry CE5 solves both of these problems by eliminating the onboard battery compartment, moving the power source to a larger external battery pack (included), reducing frontal helmet weight and offering over 8 hours of continuous battery life.

The Jerry CE5 comes with an external battery back that takes 2x 18650 rechargeable batteries, a power cable and a battery pack mount, in a custom hard case.

NOTE: You will NOT be able to use refocus devices like the Matbock Tarsier Eclipse or Phokus Hoplite caps when using the JerryC devices due to the geometry of the system and how the JerryC mounts and projects onto your objective lens.

The latest version of the CE5 now allows users to calibrate the location/offset of the thermal image so that they can line up the analog night vision and thermal images perfectly. A copy of these instructions will be included with every CE5. In addition, the CE5 now "remembers" the orientation/settings from the last time the unit was on, even with the power disconnected. Users are also able to adjust brightness, contrast, and threshold.

The CE5 has two main controls: a button and a multi-function dial. By default, the multi-function dial turns the unit on and controls gain. The CE5 has 3 main display modes: full thermal, highlight, and outline. These are easily accessed by depressing the multi-function dial. Pulse Mode is accessed by clicking the button on the rear of the unit, once in Pulse mode, the frequency of the pulse can be controlled by the dial. Pulse mode is a mode that gently flashes the thermal image on and off, especially useful to differentiate between high light areas of the analog image and thermal signatures. Long-pressing the button will display the menu.
