Changing The Magnification; Inserting/Removing The Battery; Reticle Illumination; Basic Mounting Setting - Zeiss CONQUEST DL Gebrauchshinweise/Garantie

changing the magnification

All magnifications, from the lowest to highest magnification level, allow infinitely variable
setting. Change of magnification is done by turning the changer (5) on the eyepiece support. The
magnification levels are marked by numbers and markings.
note: When using at dusk or at night:
Turn left as far as possible – maximum magnification
Turn right as far as possible – minimum magnification.
The middle magnification is set when the cam of the magnification changer is pointing upward.

inserting/removing the battery

To change the battery (model CR 2032), turn the cover (10) to the left (counterclockwise). The battery
is inserted with the positive pole pointed up. Then screw the cover (10) back on. Make sure it is seated
properly and check the condition of the sealing ring. Replace the sealing ring if it is damaged.
note: If the riflescope is not used for an extended period of time, remove the battery.

reticle illumination

Reticle illumination may be turned on by pressing buttons 11 or 12 or by pressing both buttons
together (approx. 1 sec). To turn off illumination, press buttons 11 and 12 together (approx. 1 sec).
Increase brightness by pressing or holding down button 11 ("+"); reduce brightness by pressing or
holding down button 12 ("–"); brightness control allows for infinitely variable setting determined by
the duration the button is pressed for and up to the maximum brightness level.
When the brightness is adjusted to the corresponding surrounding conditions, the illumination can
be turned off. The set brightness is then saved. When turned back on, illumination remains at the
previously set brightness. If the reticle illumination adjustment knob is not activated for three hours
when in the turned on position, illumination switches off automatically. Low battery is indicated by
blinking of the reticle lamp.

basic mounting setting

To ensure that the weapon and riflescope work together perfectly as a single unit, the riflescope
should always be mounted by a qualified gunsmith. eye injury, caused by recoil of the weapon, can
be avoided by proper mounting with the correct eye relief. The correct eye relief also guarantees a
complete field of vision.

adjusting the Zeiss cOnQuesT DL riflescope to the weapon

Adjusting the ZeISS CONQUeST DL riflescope to the weapon, i.e. correction of deviations for the
point of impact, is simplified by the click-catch in the elevation and windage adjustment of the
reticle. Proceed as follows:
a) After unscrewing the protective lens cap (1 or 2) the reticle can be adjusted by turning the
adjustment knob (6) in elevation and (7) windage. For ZeISS CONQUeST DL series riflescopes, 1
12
click corresponds to an adjustment of 1 cm to 100 m. if the weapon shoots low, it requires a
shot correction upward (direction "h"), corresponding to one clockwise turn of the adjustment
knob (6). if the weapon shoots high, it requires a shot correction downward, corresponding
to one counterclockwise turn of the adjustment knob (6). if the weapon shoots left, it
requires a shot correction to the right (direction "r"), corresponding to one clockwise turn
of the adjustment knob (7). if the weapon shoots right, it requires a shot correction left,
corresponding to a counterclockwise turn of the adjustment knob (7).
b) After shooting, pull the knob (6 bzw. 7) upward out of the catch and set the zero mark of the
sub-ring (8) on the index mark (9). Press the knob (6 or 7) downward into the catch. The index
is used to again find the original location when adjusting the reticle later (for other distances
or other loads).
c) Do not forget: Screw the protective lens cap (1 or 2) back on.
note: When the ZeISS CONQUeST DL series riflescope is delivered, the reticle is set to the middle
of the adjustment range and the zero mark of the adjusting ring (8) to the indexmark (9). From this
initial setting, an upward, downward, right or left adjustment is possible for more than half of the
adjustment ranges given in the following table.
The ZeISS CONQUeST DL riflescopes are designed so that when the reticle is adjusted, even a
corresponding movement of the reticle to the centre of the image is not noticeable. The reticle
always remains in the centre of the image during all adjustments.

bullet drop compensation for Zeiss cOnQuesT DL riflescopes

If your ZeISS CONQUeST DL riflescope is equipped with an ASV, you have the possibility to quickly
and simply „stay zeroed" at different distances. The bullet drop is compensated for by adjusting the
line of sight of the riflescope corresponding to the distance, without having to remove the protective
cap of the reticle adjustment. The adjustment knob (16) has a linear scale of 1 to 65. The distance
from mark to mark is one click, corresponding to 1 cm at 100 m. every tenth mark has an inscribed
number from 10-60.
If the ballistic values are known based on zeroing at 100 m, the required clicks can be directly
determined for the different distances and then noted. Tables 1 and 2 give you the nine different
ballistic curves for this.

adjustment of the riflescope with asV to the weapon

The riflescope is zeroed at 100 m. Proceed as follows:
A stop in the adjustment knob (16) and a pin in the stop ring (17) prevent overturning the
adjustment ring beyond one revolution. The bullet drop compensation is factory-set so that the
0 mark (14) stands for 100 m on the index (13) and the line of sight is aligned parallel tothe
mechanical axis of the riflescope.
The pin (18) in the stop ring is positioned so that it is not possible to set the adjustment knob (16)
below the 0 mark (14) for 100 m without repositioning the adjustment knob.
