Compatibility
The manufacturer indicates the tube is suitable for use in AGM PVS-14, PVS-14L, PVS-14E, PVS14-51, NVG-40, NVG-50, and UNVG devices (all versions). The tube is suitable for replacing a worn or damaged tube in these devices. When choosing, check the contact type of your device – the manufacturer offers versions with wires or pin headers. The Level 2 designation refers to screen cosmetics: according to the manufacturer's table, this version allows dark spots with a diameter of 230–300 µm (one in each zone) and one spot above 300 µm, which the standard APW version does not allow. The electro-optical parameters of both versions are the same in the specification.
