EQUIPMENT DESCRIPTION
2.1. SYSTEM DESCRIPTION

The AN/PEQ-2A is a Class IIIb laser that emits a highly

collimated beam of infrared light for precise aiming of
the weapon as well as a separate infrared illumination
beam with adjustable focus. A safety block is provided
for training purposes which limits the operator from
selecting the high power modes. Both beams can be
zeroed to the weapon and each other. The beams can
be operated individually or in combination.

The AN/PEQ-2A is for use with Night Vision Devices

and can be used as either a handheld
illuminator/pointer or can be weapon mounted with
included brackets and accessory mounts. In weapon
mounted mode, the AN/PEQ-2A can be used to
accurately direct fire as well as illuminate and
designate targets.

 SECTION V.
ZEROING PROCEDURES

5.1 This section provides information on zeroing the

AN/PEQ-2A. Two procedures are provided. The first
procedure, Paragraph 5.3, describes zeroing on an
extended range where the target distance is known.
Use Zeroing Target, NSN 6920-01-395-2949. The
second procedure, Paragraph 5.4, describes zeroing
on a 25 meter range and presents several targets for
use in zeroing the AN/PEQ-2A to a variety of weapons.

5.2 Zero Preset The AN/PEQ-2A incorporates a

unique zero preset feature which enables the aiming
and illumination beams to be nearly zeroed when the
AN/PEQ-2A is initially attached to the weapon.

To establish this zero preset, rotate each adjuster

clockwise to its end of travel. Then rotate it back 5.5
turns and align the white dot on the adjuster with the
center of the front adjuster flange (pictured below).
Caution, do not overadjust.

Figure 5-0 Zero Preset Is When Each Adjuster Is 5.5

Turns From Its Full Clockwise Stop, And The White Dot
Is Centered On The Front Adjuster Flange.

5-1
5.3 ZEROING ON AN EXTENDED RANGE.

It is recommended that you fire on a target at the range

for which you want to be zeroed.

• Set the adjusters to their zero preset position

as described in Paragraph 5.2.

• Mount the AN/PEQ-2A to your weapon as

described in SECTION III.

• Select the low power aiming beam if operating

in dark conditions. Select the high power aiming
beam if operating in high light conditions such
as dusk or dawn.

• While looking through your Night Vision

Device, press the cable switch button to activate
the aiming beam.

• Aim center of mass and fire a 3 round shot

group. Note the point of impact relative to the
point of aim.

• Adjust the aiming beam adjusters to move the

shot group to the aim point. Use Table 4-2 for
reference.

• Continue firing 3 round shot groups and

adjusting the aiming beam adjusters until point
of impact is the same as the point of aim.

5-2
 • Once the aiming beam is zeroed, rotate the
selector knob to the DUAL LO or DUAL HI mode
to observe both aiming and illumination beams.
Rotate the illumination beam adjusters
(reference Table 4-3) to align the illumination
beam with the aiming beam.

5.4 ZEROING ON A 25 METER RANGE

This procedure is used to zero for 250 meters.

• On a 25 meter M16A2 zeroing target mark the

designated strike point and designated strike
zone as shown on the following pages based on
the weapon you are using.

M16A2 & M4A1 Figure 5-1

• Mount the target on a suitable surface at 25

meters.

5-3
 • Set the adjusters to their zero preset position
as described in paragraph 5.2.

• Mount the AN/PEQ-2A to your weapon as

described in SECTION III.

• Turn the aiming beam on in the low power

setting (AIM LO). Install Aiming Side Lens Cap
with Neutral Density Filter to eliminate excessive
blooming. In high light condition, use AIM HI.

• While looking through your Night Vision

Device, press the cable switch button to activate
the aiming beam and aim center of mass.

• Fire a 3 round shot group and note the center

of the shot group relative to the designated strike
point.

• Adjust the aiming beam adjusters to move the

center of the shot group to the designated strike
point.

Note: Refer to Table 4-2 for direction of

movement. Each adjuster click moves the strike
point one square on the M16A2 25 meter zeroing
target.

• Fire another 3 round shot group and again

observe the center of the new shot group relative
to the designated strike point.

5-4
• When 2 out of 3 rounds are in the designated
strike zone you are zeroed for 250 meters.

• Once the aiming beam is zeroed, rotate the

selector knob to the DUAL LO, DUAL LO/HI or
DUAL HI/HI mode to observe both aiming and
illumination beams. Rotate the illumination
beam adjusters (Refer to Table 4-3) to align the
illumination beam with the aiming beam.

MAINTENANCE

6.1 Clean the AN/PEQ-2A by flushing with water and

wiping with a soft cloth. Such cleaning should be done
whenever the AN/PEQ-2A becomes dirty or after
exposure to salt water.

To clean the aiming and illumination beam windows,

wipe using a soft cloth with clean water, alcohol, or
general purpose window cleaner.

Prior to use under water, inspect the O-ring seals in the

battery caps to make sure they are free of sand or dirt
particles. Thoroughly clean the O-rings, battery caps
and the back of the battery compartment which seals
against the O-ring. If the O-ring becomes cut, nicked,
or dried out, the battery cap should be replaced. If the
battery cap is bent, or scratched in the O-ring seating
area, it should be replaced. Periodically lubricate the
