Hey Folks - new member and happy owner of a new Pard thermal. I would like to adjust the aiming point for the LRF to get better alignment to the LRF laser. Anyone know the magic combination of button pushes to unlock this capability? Thanks!

Speaking from zero experience with that brand or model Id say you need to do one of 3 things. Adjustable moa rings, a rail with moa built in, or shim what you have. Typically the LRF "aim" can't be adjusted, so you have to adjust the "slope" of the entire optic. Very common in airguns, where you have a lot of elevation compensation.

Hopefully this link will be helpful. It's not the thermal but it might give you a starting point.

Thanks - that video is what gave me hope and why I posted looking for the magic combination code. I am sure it exists - they all have to get aligned somehow.

Here's the answer from Pard Tech Support. Press Menu and then long press zoom. Make X Y adjustments as required to align box with splash. Go.

Understood, but this is to center the rangefinder correct? NOT the red laser dot to zero with the crosshairs. Does anyone know how to sync the red laser (push & hold menu toggles on/off) with already zeroed crosshairs?

Hello, i can't get that clear in my head! I have on my agn vixen .22 a 0 moa rail on it. De scope is a pard 640 zoom 25-50 mm thermal. I have standards mounts on it but the lrf box a bit far of the center tot the high. On what side of the mount (front or rear) must i take higher or lower (shimming) or may be better using fx no limits mounts?

The problem is that you cannot change the lrf position (red dot). You can only changes the position of flashbox but you can not see were red laserbeam pointed is. The only solution is mount no limits mounts or shimming your scope to bring you flashbox more to the center inzoomed wise.

You want to shim the back (closest to your head in the shooting position). I personally just use a 20 moa rail, but I've heard of people using a piece of aluminum can to shim the rear. If I remember correctly when I measured my 6" 20 moa rail the variance in height from front to back was like .004.

Guys - everyone seems to be making this difficult. First, call PARD - they will help you, Second, you can get the aim box aligned with your laser splash on a thermal one of two ways. One, is to do it at night while observing with Night Vision. Self explanatory, right? Two, Set a small target out at say 50 yard where it will be the only laser reflective target at 50 yards. Anything off the target will read 70 or 100 or whatever you have behind the target. Now put LRF in scan mode and find where your laser gives you 50 yards instead of 70. Now you found your laser. Move your aim box to that location in your scope. Continue to refine using the corners of your target at 50. Realize the laser splash is somewhat large and strobes horizontally. This gives more LRF precision in the vertical than the horizontal. Hope this helps. I had mine lined up in 5 minutes once I new the button sequence to get the X Y data entered for the LRF aiming box.

Correct. I presume you adjust the red laser dot with the hex wrenches provided and the two hex screws on the laser pointer. I have not yet done this, thus my reason for presuming. I don't know why else they would include the tiny allen keys in the package if not for this purpose.
