Pulsar Merger LRF XP50 - Thermal imaging binoculars - 640x480

Pulsar Merger LRF XP50 thermal imaging camera with integrated laser rangefinder

The Merger LRF XP50 from Pulsar is manufactured in the classic design of daylight binoculars and is characterized by its small size, its external aesthetics and its exemplary ergonomics. The Pulsar Merger LRF with its variable 2.5 to 20x magnification is equipped with a highly sensitive, high-performance 640x480 17µm thermal imaging sensor (NETD <25mK), which ensures detail recognition up to 1200 meters, even under the most difficult conditions. Whether rain, snow, fog, high waves or waterways, the IPX7 protection rating ensures that the Pulsar Merger LRF will not fail in the harshest weather conditions. Unlike a night vision device, a thermal imaging device can also detect objects that are obscured by bushes, tall grass or branches, for example. In addition, the thermal imaging camera does not require any additional lighting.

A built-in precision laser rangefinder (LRF), which can detect distances of up to 1000 meters, enables distance measurement as a single measurement or in continuous scan mode. The Merger LRF laser rangefinder has enormous accuracy, which enables fast and error-free target acquisition.

The highly sensitive microbolometer detects minimal temperature differences under conditions of low temperature contrast as well as in rain or fog. A high-intensity germanium F50/1.0 lens, together with the advanced sensor, 8 color palette options and AMOLED display, provides exceptional detection and identification capabilities.

Two independent rechargeable batteries provide up to 10 hours of continuous operation on a single charge. The Merger thermal imager comes with integrated video and photo recording and 16 GB of built-in storage as standard. The Merger's enhanced Wi-Fi connectivity with support for the 2.4/5 GHz band enables seamless connection with the Stream-Vision 2 app, available for both Android and iOS devices.

Compact size, classic design
The Merger LRF thermal imaging binoculars from Pulsar have the classic design of daylight binoculars. With its small form factor, these thermal imaging binoculars fit comfortably in the hand, yet offer appealing external aesthetics and exemplary ergonomics. The six function buttons are located in the convenient access zone and the most frequently used device functions can be activated with a single touch.

Comfortable viewing experience
The optical design of the Merger LRF thermal imaging device is fully adapted to the nature of human vision. Naturally, a person receives information from vision through two visual channels simultaneously. Seeing with two eyes is less tiring than seeing with only one eye. This means better detection of small or faint objects and better performance in low contrast scenarios than comparable monocular thermal imaging devices of the same technical level. The Merger LRF's eye relief is adjustable from 62 to 74 mm to suit the individual user's needs.

Integrated precision laser rangefinder
In order to make the right decisions, it is important to accurately estimate the distance of the target. A built-in laser rangefinder (LRF) with a range of up to 1 kilometer lets you measure the distance in single measurement and continuous scanning modes with an accuracy of ± 1 meter, allowing you to quickly and accurately assess the situation.

High-resolution thermal imaging camera with 640x480 pixels @ < 25 mK NETD sensor
The newly developed 17µm thermal imaging sensor with a thermal sensitivity (NETD) of <25mK has a high resolution of 640x480 pixels and guarantees perfectly detailed object imaging at 50Hz, even under the most adverse weather conditions with low temperature differences. The high optical sensor resolution allows the smallest objects, i.e. branches, leaves, parts of an animal's body, to appear particularly sharp and clear against the background. The high thermal sensitivity (NETD) ensures that even the smallest temperature differences can be distinguished by the infrared camera, even in rain, fog or dew on cold mornings.

Powerful F50/1.0 lens
The properties of the thermal imaging optics have a decisive influence on the ability of a thermal imaging device to detect thermal radiation at the lowest radiation level. In combination with the highly sensitive sensor, the fast lens offers the highest detection efficiency. In rain or fog, when the temperature contrast of the observed objects is minimal, the Merger LRF always provides the user with a high-quality, detailed, high-contrast and informative image.

Latest image processing algorithms
The Merger LRF thermal imaging binoculars are equipped with advanced image processing algorithms that prove their effectiveness in various weather conditions and device usage scenarios. With the Merger LRF eyepieces, the user gets a new level of clear and noise-free imaging, with more object detail and improved contrast.

Up to 10 hours on a single charge - two independent batteries
The Pulsar Merger LRF is powered by two rechargeable batteries. A built-in Li-Ion battery with a capacity of 4 Ah and a replaceable APS3 Li-Ion battery with a capacity of 3.2 Ah. A single charge provides a battery life of up to 10 hours, which is sufficient for the period of active use of the riflescope on the hunt. The embossing on the housing of the replaceable battery to precisely determine the correct position makes it possible to quickly and safely replace an empty battery with a new one by touch in complete darkness.

Long observation distance
The fast lens F50/1.0 in combination with the professional sensor 640x480@17µm promises excellent possibilities for discovering the target object. An object 1.8 m in size can be detected at a distance of 1800 m in absolute darkness.

Variable magnification from 2.5x to 20x
The digital zoom of up to 8x ensures improved sharpness and better detection of an object at great distances. The zoom can be adjusted either gradually in 2x increments or continuously for a truly optimal field of view tailored to the situation at hand.

Robust magnesium alloy housing
The Merger LRF is designed for constant, often tough use. The magnesium alloy housing is both lightweight and robust. The housing reliably protects the internal components of a thermal imaging device against shock, dropping, moisture, heat or cold. At the same time, the metal housing dissipates the heat from the electronics, minimizes image noise and increases the operating stability of the device during long-term observations.

Built-in camera and video recorder
The Merger LRF has a built-in video recorder. The Merger LRF's internal memory can store hours of videos and tens of thousands of photos. One press of a button is all it takes to take a photo of an interesting subject or start a video recording. The recordings are copied to a computer hard disk via a USB-C connection. Merger LRF owners have 16 GB of storage space to store photos and videos taken with the device in the Pulsar cloud storage. Simply install the Stream Vision 2 app, log in and connect the device to a smartphone via Wi-Fi.

Remote control via smartphone and software update with the Stream Vision 2 app
The integrated Wi-Fi connects the Merger LRF to Android and iOS smartphones via the Stream Vision 2 mobile application. This opens up a wide range of possibilities, such as wireless software updates to the device, real-time image transfer from the device to the smartphone screen, publishing photo and video content captured with the device to social media or transfer to messenger applications, remote control of digital device functions and access to the latest news from Pulsar. In addition, registered users receive 16GB of cloud storage for photos and videos taken with the device.

Improved Wi-Fi connectivity with support for the 2.4 / 5 GHz frequency range
With the Merger LRF, the frequency range of the standard smartphone connection via a 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi channel is supplemented by an effective 5 GHz range. The 5 GHz connection provides better bandwidth, faster data transfer rate, immunity to noise and improved stability of the connection, resulting in more productive and easier operation of the thermal imaging binoculars with a smartphone.

High-contrast HD AMOLED screen
The new AMOLED display with an HD resolution of 1024x768 offers improved color reproduction, economical operation, high contrast and fast response time, providing clear and consistent images when observing in motion or in cold conditions.

Wide temperature range: -25 to +50 °C
The housing, power supply, optics and electronics of the Merger LRF are designed for applications in a wide temperature range. The Merger LRF ensures reliable and effective performance in icy cold conditions down to -25 °C.

Waterproof according to IPX7
The Pulsar Merger LRF is waterproof to IPX78 for protection against heavy rain, snow or other moisture. The device is designed to continue to function properly even when immersed in water up to 1 meter deep for up to 30 minutes.

8 color palettes to choose from
A choice of 8 color palettes allows the user to better observe their field of vision, optimize the device for specific tasks and respond to changing viewing conditions. White-hot, black-hot and red-hot are optimal for recognizing an object, rainbow and ultramarine increase the chances of recognition and identification. Red monochrome, sepia and violet are best suited for long observations at night.

"Picture-in-picture" mode
In picture-in-picture mode, the observer receives a second small image of the central field, allowing the target object to be viewed in detail without loss of field of view.

Dark screen with proximity sensor
The Merger LRF display can be switched off either by simply pressing a button or automatically when the proximity sensor is switched on. This function enables the observer to be unmasked, as no residual light escapes from the eyepiece. While the display is switched off, all other systems continue to operate.

Brightness and contrast adjustment
Contrast and brightness can be manually adjusted to personal requirements.

Calibration (nuc / non-uniformity correction)
The Merger LRF XP50 thermal imaging device offers three different calibration modes: silent manual mode ("M"); automatic mode ("A") and semi-automatic mode ("H"). In "A" mode, the unit calibrates itself completely automatically. In "H" mode, the user decides when to calibrate the unit by pressing the "Cal" button. Manual "M" calibration is also performed by the user with the lens protection cap closed. This mode is recommended for tactical use and hunting, as it is largely silent.
