Product Description
The AR-2A aiming laser allows the user to attach an aiming laser A-frame
sight on M-16, M-4 and AR-15 style rifles. This mounting system offers the
advantage of locating the aiming laser away from the heat generated by the
barrel of the weapon. It also offers a secure mounting location. In addition,
the integrated NATO/1913 rails on each side of the front site provides a
convenient mounting location for a tactical light or other accessory.
General Information
Failure to comply with the installation instructions may result in damage to
your weapon.

Warning Laser Light
Part #
+
The AR-2A aiming laser when activated emits laser light that has been
determined to pose a risk of eye injury. In order to avoid the possibility of eye
injuries resulting from direct viewing, please adhere to the following warnings:
-
* Avoid looking directly into the laser beam.
* Do not look directly at the laser light using scopes or binoculars.
* Avoid shining the laser onto mirrored surfaces.
* Do not direct the laser into the eyes or face of persons or animals.
* Observe all safety precautions with the laser that you would
observe with a loaded firearm.

LDI manufactures a full line of tactical accessories that work with the AR-2A
laser, including mounting brackets, tactical lights, filters and laser accessories.
Infrared (IR) aiming lasers are only available to law enforcement and military
end users. The IR laser is not visible to the unaided human eye. This means
that the reflex that protects your eye from bright visible light will not protect
your eyes from the IR beam. You should exercise the same caution when
using or training with the IR aiming laser that you would use with a loaded
firearm.
The non-ocular hazard distance for this device is 5 meters for opponents not
equipped with optical scopes. The non-ocular hazard distance for opponents
using optical scopes, binoculars or telescopes who might inadvertently view
the laser light has not been determined and depends on the magnification
power of the optic.

In the event the laser fails to operate or appears to operate at a low power,
please check the following prior to contacting the manufacturer for repair.
1. Fails to operate.
A. Replace the battery (see instructions).
B. Check the battery installation to make sure the battery was installed
with the positive (+) terminal facing out of the laser assembly as shown in
Figure 1..
2. Laser light is weak or dim.
A. Check the front cap and lens of the laser to make sure that it is not
covered with dirt or powder residue. If the front cap is dirty, clean gently with
a cotton swab or soft clean cloth taking care not to scratch the lens.
3. If the aiming laser still fails to operate, please contact LDI for assistance.

AR-2A Installation
Adjusting Windage/Elevation (cont'd)
Step 1. Make sure your weapon is unloaded.
Step 2. Do not remove the laser from the
mounting bracket. (Initial installation).
Step 3. Place the left side mount with the laser
dovetail in the A-Frame front site. See Figure 1.
Step 4. Install the right side of the mount and
align the screw holes. See Figure 2.
Step 5 Install the hex screws and firmly tighten.
Tighten the #1 Hex screw first.
Step 4. Confirm that your weapon is unloaded (check the chamber and the
magazine).
#1 Hex Screw
#2 Hex Screw
Step 5. Adjust the windage or elevation by turning the windage or elevation
knob. Windage: Turning the windage knob clockwise will move the laser
point to the right, and turning the knob counter-clockwise will move it to the
left. Elevation: Turning the elevation knob clockwise will move the laser point
down, and turning it counter-clockwise will move it up. Note, Each click
moves the laser point on the target by roughly one-half the diameter of
the laser point
Figure 3
Step 6. Test fire the weapon to check the new alignment. If necessary, repeat
the alignment process from Step 2. above.

Adjusting Windage/Elevation
Adjusting Windage/Elevation
Align the unit for windage and elevation as
follows:
The AR-2A aiming laser is generally prealigned at the factory. Align the white
and red dots on the windage and
elevation adjustment knobs with the
matching white and red dots on the
housing to bring the laser back to a zero
alignment. See Figure 5.
Figure 5
Step 1. Activate the laser and aim the
weapon at the target using a sandbag or
steady rest. Place the laser point on the
center of the target and carefully fire three
rounds from the weapon and check the
target for the impact point. (See Figure 7)
Always check the laser alignment when
mounting the unit on your weapon to
ensure that the laser is properly
aligned for accuracy.
Step 2. If the bullet holes are clustered to
one side or the other, then you will need to
adjust the windage.
