pandora pb-3
overview
The PB-3 is our solution to a large window, enclosed emitter, durable red dot optic utilizing the ACRO® P2 footprint. Like the Promethean LP-1, the Pandora’s Box is machined from 7075-T6 aluminum and is hard-coat anodized to Type III MIL-A-8625.
The PB-3 was designed with a standoff around the objective lens for one-handed pistol slide manipulation. Similarly, the ocular lens has an offset to protect glass during pistol/rifle retraction through barriers. A beveled leading edge of the battery compartment assists with re-holstering, and sealing plates affix the lenses into the housing for added glass security under impact and recoil vectors. The PB-3 has a 30% larger window than industry competitors (21x17mm), and is IPX8 rated for 90 minutes of submersion at a depth of 10m.
aurawake
AuraWake™ is CORD's patented, reliable utilization of shake-to-wake technology. Competitor shake-to-wake optics will auto shut-off after a set number of hours to conserve runtime, and a motion sensor reactivates the reticle once movement is detected. However, motion sensors may exhibit unreliability if damaged during impact, fostering a subsequent equipment failure upon weapon deployment.
To prevent catastrophic aiming system failure, CORD Instruments is proud to implement AuraWake™, a new partial shake-to-wake system that ties the motion sensor only to the circuit of the 32-MOA ring.
Following 5 minutes of non use, the PB-3’s outer CQB ring will “sleep,” yet maintain the 3-MOA dot on at all times. This provides a constant, action-ready aiming reference that cannot be interfered with upon motion sensor failure, while significantly increasing runtime.
