The Pulsar Telos is more than a conventional thermal monocular. It has been designed around the idea that thermal technology should be capable of evolving rather than becoming obsolete every time a new generation of technology is released.
Its combination of upgradeable hardware, advanced image processing, ergonomic controls, replaceable batteries and rugged construction makes Telos a long-term thermal imaging platform.
One of the defining features of the Telos range is its upgradeable hardware platform.
Rather than automatically replacing an entire thermal monocular when technology improves, selected Telos components can be upgraded through Pulsar’s upgrade program.
Possible upgrades include:
The upgrade is performed through an authorised service centre rather than by the user installing electronic components themselves.
This approach provides Telos owners with the potential to extend the useful life of their thermal monocular as thermal technology continues to develop.
LEARN MORE ABOUT PULSAR TELOS UPGRADABILITY
Pulsar Telos thermal monoculars use Image Boost technology to enhance thermal image detail, contrast and clarity.
Thermal imaging can become more challenging when there is little temperature difference between an object and its surroundings. Telos is designed to extract useful thermal information from complex scenes, helping reveal detail across backgrounds such as grass, vegetation, sky and other low-contrast environments.
Users can also adjust image brightness and contrast and select from multiple colour palettes according to their preferences and viewing conditions.
On supported Telos models, firmware updates have introduced additional image-processing improvements, digital image stabilisation and enhanced zoom functionality.
Selected Telos models such as the Pulsar Telos XQ35, Pulsar Telos XG50, Pulsar Telos XP50, Pulsar Telos XL50 and Pulsar Telos XT50 feature a built-in laser rangefinder (LRF).
Knowing the approximate distance to a target or object can provide valuable information when assessing terrain, animals or other subjects.
The Telos LRF models support both individual distance measurements and continuous scanning, with measurement accuracy of approximately ±1 metre.
The flagship Telos LRF XT50 extends laser ranging capability to up to 1,200 metres, while other Telos LRF models provide ranging to up to 1,000 metres.
Australia presents some of the most varied outdoor environments in the world, from open grazing country and farmland to dense scrub, bushland and remote properties.
A thermal monocular used in Australia needs to be practical, rugged and capable of operating in changing weather and environmental conditions.
Pulsar Telos thermal imagers are designed for operation from -25°C to +40°C and carry an IPX7 waterproof rating. The rugged rubber-armoured housing provides a secure grip and helps protect the device during demanding outdoor use.

Yes. Pulsar designed the Telos platform around hardware upgradeability. Depending on the model and available upgrade program, upgrades can include the addition of an LRF, sensor improvements and objective lens upgrades. Upgrades are carried out through an authorised service process rather than by the user.
Pulsar Telos thermal monoculars have an IPX7 waterproof rating, meaning they are designed to withstand water immersion under the specified test conditions.
Battery life varies between Telos models and operating conditions. Pulsar’s published specifications range from approximately 7 to 8.5 hours at 22°C, depending on the model.
Yes. Telos thermal monoculars provide a 1/4″ mounting interface, allowing compatible tripod adapters to be used for more stable hands-free observation.
The Telos is designed for demanding outdoor use and is rated for operation from -25°C to +40°C, with IPX7 waterproof protection. This makes it suitable for a wide range of Australian outdoor environments, subject to the limitations of the individual model and conditions.
Detection range varies by model. Pulsar specifies up to 2,300 metres for the Telos LRF XT50, XL50 and XG50, up to 1,800 metres for the XP50 and up to 1,300 metres for the XQ35. Detection range is a specification under controlled conditions and should not be confused with reliable identification range.
Detection range refers to the distance at which a thermal signature can potentially be detected. Identification requires considerably more information and depends on factors including sensor resolution, thermal contrast, atmospheric conditions, target size and viewing conditions. A quoted detection range should therefore not be interpreted as the distance at which an animal can be reliably identified.
