Pulsar Telos XL50 Thermal Imaging Monocular

Upgradable device

Telos is the new concept of upgradeable thermal imaging monoculars. It is the first line of thermal devices on the market to offer the option of technical hardware upgrade. The components of the Telos can be replaced with new ones featuring better characteristics. The user doesn’t need to acquire a new device every time a newer technology is being introduced. Telos is designed to be time resistant and future-proof. And to constantly adapt to the ever-changing needs of a hunter. With the new Pulsar upgradeability concept your Telos will become a renewable device. Or, if you wish, a device for life.

*The upgradeability program is in the pipeline and will be launched later this year. 

Possible upgrade types:

• Addition of the laser rangefinder for the non-LRF models
• Sensor upgrade
• Objective lens upgrade

Intuitive user experience

For a more tactile and intuitive use of Pulsar flagship handhelds active the haptic feedback function in the short menu of the Telos. The unit will respond with short vibrations when pressing the control buttons.

Objective ring zoom control

You can ideally adjust the image in Telos with one hand − the focusing and smooth zoom rings are located on the lens in the classic layout, one by one, as in professional camera objective lenses. The consistent arrangement of the rings enables getting a clear image with the required magnification quickly and with minimal effort.

Precise laser ranging up to 1000m (Only LRF models)

Understanding the target distance is an essential factor in making the right decisions. A built-in laser rangefinder with a range of up to 1 kilometre allows you to measure distances in single measurements and continuous scanning modes with an accuracy of ± 1 metre for quick and error-free assessment of the situation.

Built for toughest conditions

Telos thermal imaging devices have been designed for use in the tough outdoors using and in the temperature range of -25 to +40 °C. The device is waterproof when fully immersed in water. The composite polymeric rubber-coated case possesses high operational qualities. The absence of protruding parts in the design, as well as the anatomically optimal housing shape of the Telos thermal imaging devices contribute to safety and comfort during prolonged use time.

 

Replaceable battery pack with direct plug & wireless fast charge options

The brand-new LPS 7i quick-change Li-ion battery guarantees more than 8 hours of operating time. LPS 7i doesn't require special chargers − just connect it to any network adapter via the USB Type-C port and charge it using the Power Delivery fast charging protocol in a short time. Moreover, the LPS 7i battery supports wireless charging.

Ergonomic, nonslip rubber-coated housing

The rubber-coated housing helps to securely hold the thermal imaging device in the hand in both dry weather and rain. The housing has exceptional wear resistance and perfectly withstands operation in a wide range of temperatures, including dusty and moist conditions, and it protects the device from falls. In addition, the housing is easily cleaned and keeps its original appearance for a long time.

 

Adaptable for left- and right-handed use

The vertical symmetrical layout of the controls allows Telos to be used with both hands with the same degree of comfort − the buttons are located in a row on the top panel, and the lens rings are used for focusing and changing magnification. 

Ergonomic and functional carrying case

A hunter must be fast-moving. A sign of good quality equipment is being at hand when needed, and invisible the rest of the time. Stylish on the outside, the Telos case is user-friendly and comfortable to carry. The thermal imaging device is quickly and easily removed from the case and placed in position. The system of optimal belt positioning distributes the device weight on the hunter's body, relieving the load from the shoulders, back and neck. The cover fits snugly to the body, without preventing the hunter from freely bending, turning, crouching, moving across country and using weapons. Additionally, the Telos case is equipped with straps for attaching it to a waist belt, as well as to equipment with a modular Molle fixation system, including backpacks and webbed gears.

 

User mode

Use the brightness and contrast adjustments to maximise the detail and informative value of the image in specific observation conditions. The User Mode function saves selected brightness and contrast settings in the device's memory providing optimal image quality for the next use of the thermal imager immediately, with no additional adjustments needed.

Fast aperture F/1.0 germanium lens

The characteristics of thermal imaging optics have a decisive influence on a thermal imagers ability to capture even the lowest radiation levels. Ultimate detection efficiency is achieved with the fast lens of the Telos (F/1.0) thermal imager in combination with highly sensitive thermal sensor. The Telos gives users the best quality, most detailed & high-contrast, informative imagery every time, even during rain or fog, when the temperature contrast of the observed scene is minimal.

 

Built-in video recorder with 64GB internal memory

The Telos has a built-in video recorder. The increased 64GB internal memory of the Telos can store hours of video and tens of thousands of photos. One touch of a button is enough to take a photo of an interesting scene or start recording video.

 

Stream Vision 2. Wi-Fi integration with iOS and Android devices

Built-in Wi-Fi connects the Telos to Android and iOS smartphones via the Stream Vision 2 mobile application. This opens up a wide range of options including wireless device software updates, real-time image transmission from the device to the smartphone screen, publication on social media of photo and video content captured by the device or transfer to messengers, remote control of digital device functions and access to the latest news from Pulsar. Moreover, registered users receive 16 GB of cloud storage for photos and videos recorded with the device.

 

High-contrast AMOLED display

The 1024x768 pixel resolution AMOLED display has improved colour rendering, is power saving, offers high contrast imagery and a quick-response, as well as providing clear & smooth images when observing on-the-move or in cold conditions.

 

Dual Wi-Fi waveband support 2.4 / 5 GHz

In Telos thermal monoculars, the standard smartphone connection frequency range via a 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi channel is complemented with an effective 5 GHz range. The 5 GHz connection offers better bandwidth, a faster data transfer rate, noise immunity and improved connection stability, resulting in more productive and easier operation of the thermal monocular with a smartphone.

 

A selection of 8 color palettes

A choice of 8 colour palettes lets the user observe their field of view more effectively, allowing them to optimise the unit for specific tasks as well as react to changing observation conditions. White Hot, Black Hot and Red Hot are optimal for object detection, Rainbow and Ultramarine help increase chances for recognition & identification. Red Monochrome, Sepia and Violet are most suitable for long observation in the night.

 

IPX7 submersion waterproof rated

IPX7 waterproof-rated for protection from heavy rainfall, snow or other precipitation. The unit is designed to run flawlessly, even after submersion in up to 1 meter of water for up to 30 minutes.

 

Operation in extreme temperatures -25 to +40°C

Housing, power unit, optics and electronics of Telos are designed with regard to applications in wide range of temperatures. Telos ensures reliable and effective performance in freezing cold up to -25°C.
