The first ever upgradable thermal imaging devices
The Telos series introduced upgradable thermal devices to the market for the very first time, providing a cost-effective way in which to stay ahead of the curve when it comes to technological advances through the ability to upgrade certain components.
Available with or without a built-in laser rangefinder, 9 models are available in the Telos series, each of which has been designed for comfort and durability. Ergonomically designed, rubber-armoured bodyshells will withstand the everyday knocks one would expect from everyday use whilst ensuring excellent user comfort over long periods of observation. The addition of a traditional camera-style zoom ring on the objective lens provides a familiar feel and achieves fast and intuitive magnification.

Please refer to individual model specs for details.

Precise distance measurements
with built-in laser
rangefinders
LRF models feature a built-in precision laser rangefinder, allowing you to ascertain the distance between you and your observed target at distances reaching up to 1000m with an accuracy of ±1m. The ability to gather this valuable distance data provides you with a better understanding of your observation area and enables informed decision-making in the field.
Optimal performance in
extreme conditions
Designed to take on the elements, these thermal imaging monoculars feature composite polymeric rubber-coated bodyshells, protecting against wear and withstanding even the most unforgiving weather conditions. Non-slip characteristics guarantee a secure grip in both dry and wet environments, and ensure cleaning remains nice and easy, so you can maintain your device’s original, unblemished appearance for longer.
The Telos’s IPX7 rating protects against water ingress and will even ensure optimal operational after a dip in 1m of water for a duration of up to 30 minutes. The housing, power unit, optics, and electronics are all protected against extreme temperatures, with performance remaining unimpeded by temperature from -25 to +40°C.
Ergonomic design with
objective ring zoom
control
Ergonomics is at the forefront of the Telos’s design, offering an observation experience that remains comfortable through a convenient and easy reach button layout along the top panel. An attachable hand strap can easily rotate from one side to the other, without being removed, to better cater to left- and right-handed users.
And the addition of classically considered focusing and magnification rings located on the objective lens (as found on traditional camera objective lenses), allow for smooth image magnification and quick focusing with minimal effort.


Better Clarity with
advanced Image Boost
Pulsar’s advanced image boost technology utilises a set of proprietary image processing algorithms to offer the highest level of image detail, clarity, and contrast, with software used to provide greater detailing and better sharpening of observed objects at varying distances.
The sensitivity level can be manually increased to further improve the Telos’s detection capabilities when environmental conditions worsen, and a smoothing filter, along with a wide range of brightness and contrast settings, will ensure a more comfortable experience over long periods of observation.
Wireless- and fast charging
capabilities
The Telos series offers wireless charging via the new LPS 7i quick-charge Li-ion battery. This battery will provide up to 8 hours of continuous observation (depending on temperature) before a recharge is needed.
And there’s no need for special chargers, as this battery can either be placed on a wireless charging mat or connected to any charging cable with a USB Type-C port. Fast-charging capabilities make sure you won’t be without power for long.
