640×480 Thermal Sensor with High Sensitivity Below 18 mK

At the centre of the Pulsar Thermion 3 LRF XR60 is a 640×480 uncooled thermal sensor with a 12µm pixel pitch and 50Hz refresh rate.

The sensor offers a NETD rating below 30 mK, while the complete imaging system achieves a system NETD below 18 mK.

This high thermal sensitivity helps reveal subtle temperature differences between animals, vegetation and surrounding terrain.

The system supports thermal observation in challenging environments, including humid weather, low temperatures and areas with limited thermal contrast.

Combined with the 60mm F1.0 objective lens, the sensor produces detailed thermal images designed to support observation of distant heat sources.

Three Sensitivity Amplification Levels

The Thermion 3 XR60 provides three thermal sensitivity amplification modes:

• Normal: suitable for dry weather and environments with distinct temperature differences.
• High: designed for general outdoor observation across a wide range of conditions.
• Ultra-High: enhances subtle thermal differences in demanding environments with low contrast.

A smoothing filter helps reduce visible image noise and supports a more consistent thermal image.

Powerful 60mm F1.0 Objective Lens

The large 60mm germanium objective lens is a defining feature of the Thermion 3 LRF XR60.

Its fast F1.0 aperture allows efficient thermal radiation collection, helping the sensor reproduce small temperature variations and fine details.

The combination of the 60mm objective and 640×480 sensor is designed for long-range observation, particularly when inspecting distant animals or scanning open landscapes.

The XR60 is suitable for large fields, woodland boundaries, agricultural areas and extensive hunting grounds.

Thermal Detection Range up to 2950 Metres

The Pulsar Thermion 3 LRF XR60 offers a manufacturer-rated detection range of up to 2950 metres for deer-sized thermal targets under suitable conditions.

Its long detection range allows users to locate thermal objects across extensive open terrain.

The device has a horizontal field of view of 7.3°, corresponding to approximately 12.8 metres at 100 metres.

This relatively narrow field of view supports detailed observation of distant objects.

Thermal detection is different from recognition and identification. The effective distance for recognising an animal depends on target dimensions, weather conditions, atmospheric effects and thermal contrast.

4–40x Magnification for Long-Range Observation

One of the main advantages of the Pulsar Thermion 3 LRF XR60 is its extensive 4–40x magnification range.

The 4x base magnification supports observation of medium and distant targets, while higher magnification levels allow closer examination of detected heat sources.

The maximum 40x digital magnification is particularly useful when users need to enlarge a distant object within the display.

The high-resolution AMOLED display supports detailed image presentation, although digital magnification does not increase the native resolution of the thermal sensor.

Classic Zoom Ring with Adjustable Direction

The Thermion 3 introduces an intuitive magnification control ring inspired by conventional daytime riflescopes.

Users can adjust magnification smoothly without navigating through menus.

The direction of ring operation can be configured to match personal preferences and previous experience with traditional optics.

This familiar control layout helps make transitions between daytime and thermal observation more intuitive.

Integrated 1200m Laser Rangefinder

The built-in laser rangefinder provides distance measurements up to 1200 metres with a stated accuracy of ±1 metre.

Its redesigned construction places the rangefinding system within the riflescope housing, independently of the thermal objective lens.

This helps preserve the optical arrangement of the 60mm F1.0 lens.

The rangefinder supports three measurement modes:

• Single measurement
• Continuous scanning
• True Horizontal Distance (THD)

Distance information is displayed directly within the riflescope interface.

Integrated Ballistic Calculator and Stream Vision Ballistics

The Pulsar Thermion 3 LRF XR60 features an integrated ballistic calculation system compatible with the Pulsar Stream Vision Ballistics application.

Users can manage compatible ballistic profiles and transfer them to the riflescope.

The integrated system supports the presentation of relevant ballistic information and suggested aiming corrections within the viewing interface.

Additional functions include an inclination indicator and visual assistance with rifle levelling.

Ten Scalable Electronic Reticles and Zeroing Profiles

The Thermion 3 LRF XR60 provides ten selectable electronic reticle patterns.

The scalable reticle system is designed to preserve proportional reticle subtensions when magnification changes.

The riflescope also supports ten zeroing profiles, each with up to ten stored zeroing distances.

Available zeroing functions include one-shot zeroing, zoom-assisted zeroing and freeze zeroing.

These settings provide flexibility when managing compatible equipment configurations.

2560×2560 AMOLED Display

The Thermion 3 XR60 features a high-resolution 2560×2560 AMOLED display.

The display reproduces thermal images with fine detail, strong contrast and deep black levels.

Its square display format provides an extensive viewing area while keeping electronic information accessible.

The 65mm eye relief supports comfortable observation and helps maintain appropriate separation between the eyepiece and the user’s eye.

Two Picture-in-Picture Modes

The riflescope offers two Picture-in-Picture configurations.

Rectangular PiP presents a magnified area alongside the wider thermal image.

Circular PiP enlarges the central observation area while retaining visibility of the surrounding scene.

Both modes support closer inspection of heat sources without completely losing the wider viewing context.

Ergonomic Controls and Central Focusing

The Thermion 3 LRF XR60 retains the familiar handling characteristics of a traditional riflescope while introducing revised controls.

The central focusing mechanism is positioned for convenient adjustment with either hand.

A redesigned user interface features grouped settings and rotational menu navigation.

Main controls are positioned around the eyepiece for convenient access during outdoor observation.

A proximity sensor can switch off the display when the user’s eye moves away from the eyepiece, helping manage power consumption.

• White Hot
• Black Hot
• Green
• Red Hot
• Red Monochrome
• Rainbow
• Ultramarine
• Violet
• Sepia

Different palettes support visual comfort and help users examine thermal scenes in changing environmental conditions.

Dual APS5 Battery System

The Thermion 3 LRF XR60 incorporates a dual-battery arrangement consisting of an internal APS5 battery and an additional removable APS5 battery.

Each battery has a capacity of 4900mAh, providing a combined nominal capacity of 9800mAh.

The dual-battery design supports convenient battery replacement and extended operation during outdoor observation.

Pulsar’s detailed product specification lists an operating time of 8.5 hours at 22°C. The manufacturer also advertises up to 14 hours of runtime for the XR60 in its product overview.
