ADE HELIOS (RD3-031) Closed Emitter Red Dot Sight
Product Title
ADE HELIOS RD3-031 Closed Emitter Red Dot Sight – 6 Reticle Patterns, Motion Activated, Rechargeable LIR2032 Battery, Magnetic USB Charging, RMR Footprint Compatible
Product Overview
The ADE HELIOS (RD3-031) is a next-generation closed emitter red dot sight engineered for durability, reliability, and fast target acquisition. Featuring a fully enclosed emitter design, six selectable reticle patterns, Motion Activated Technology, and a patented structural side-clamp mounting system, the HELIOS delivers dependable performance in adverse weather, dusty environments, and high-recoil applications.
Unlike traditional optics that rely solely on mounting screws, the HELIOS utilizes ADE's Structural Mounting System™ to transfer recoil forces through the mounting interface, improving durability and long-term zero retention.
The optic includes a rechargeable LIR2032 battery with magnetic USB charging capability, allowing convenient recharging without removing the optic from the slide.
Key Features
Fully Enclosed Emitter Design
The closed emitter housing protects the LED emitter from rain, dust, mud, lint, and debris, ensuring a clear aiming point even in challenging conditions.
6 Selectable Reticle Patterns
Choose the reticle that best fits your shooting style:
- 2 MOA Dot
- 50 MOA Circle
- Circle-Dot Combinations
- Multiple precision and rapid-acquisition configurations
Switch between six reticle patterns with the push of a button.
Motion Activated Technology
After 2 minutes of inactivity, the optic automatically enters sleep mode to conserve battery life. Any movement instantly restores the reticle at the previous brightness setting.
Rechargeable Battery System
Includes a rechargeable LIR2032 battery and magnetic USB charging cable.
- Recharge directly through the optic
- Approximately 500 recharge cycles
- No need to remove the optic for charging
- Compatible with standard CR2032 batteries if preferred (charging function disabled)
Magnetic USB Charging
The integrated magnetic charging system allows simple charging without removing the battery.
- Red LED indicates charging
- Up to 8-hour charging time
- Convenient field charging capability
ADE Structural Mounting System™
Unlike conventional optics that place recoil forces directly on mounting screws, the HELIOS uses a patented side-clamp engagement system that transfers recoil forces through the mounting interface itself.
Benefits include:
- Enhanced recoil resistance
- Improved long-term durability
- Reduced screw stress
- Better zero retention
RMR Footprint Compatible
Compatible with mounting platforms designed for the RMR footprint pattern, including:
- Trijicon RMR
- Trijicon SRO
- Holosun 407C
- Holosun 507C
- Holosun 508T
- Other RMR-pattern mounting systems and adapter plates
Lightweight Aluminum Construction
Built from full metal construction while maintaining an ultra-lightweight design.
- Weight: 1.7 oz (48 g)
- Compact footprint
