NSN 1040-00-587-3618 LIN J30492 GENERATOR, SMOKE MECHANICAL M3A3 The M3A3 Mechanical Smoke Generator (NSN 1040-00-587-3618) is a selfcontained unit which uses a pulse jet engine and fogoil to produce smoke. The unit consists of an engine, a fuel system, fogoil system, a starting system, and frame assembly. CAPABILITIES One company can provide a smoke screen of approximately 1 to 2-1/2 miles in width (at the line of smoke generators) and several miles in depth, depending on weather and di splacement of its 48 smoke generators . LIMITATIONS Since the fuel tank capacity is only 3-1/2 gallons and fuel consumption is 3 gallons per hour, the generator must be shut down every hour for refueling during peacetime operations . 2-8 ARRCOMP 750-1 MAINTENANCE TIPS 1. Perform operational test in accordance with paragraph 2-14, TM 3-1040202-12 monthly. Clean the engine head and valves after every operation. Drain all fuel and fog oil systems. 2. After each 8-hour period of operation, burn the carbon from the engine by starting the smoke generator and permitting it to operate without fogoil for a period not to exceed 2 minutes (para 4-9, TM 3-1040-202-12). 3. Breaker Point Gap cited para 4-15c(5), TM 3-1040-202-12 is incorrect at 0.15 inch. At full separation breaker point gap setting should be 0.015 inch . OPERATION TIP WARNING Remain upwind and avoid breathing smoke. If exposure to smoke cannot be avoided wear protective mask. Caution Transport but DO NOT OPERATE M3A3 Smoke Generator while vehicle is moving across uneven ground. The gasoline fuel system (float bowl) is designed for and adjusted to the desired fuel level when the generator is in near level position. When this level is interrupted/changed the delivery of the fuel can cause the engine to overheat to the extent the generator could create a fire hazard. Caution Ear Protection: A noise level survey of the M3A3 Smoke Generator indicates a need for ear protection. Mark the smoke generator with signs to caution personnel to wear ear protection while operating the smoke generator within 15 feet.

(5) REPORTED PROBLEMS FROM THE FIELD AND THEIR SOLUTIONS 3-15 ARRCOMP 750-1 HOOD, CHEMICAL-BIOLOGICAL MASK: AIRCRAFT, ABC-M7, TANK, ABC-MS, AND FIELD M6 and ABC-M6A2 Hood Talc Removal -Personnel from the field have been asking is there any way to effectively remove the talc that is on the hoods received from supply? Although not recommended, the best method the unit has found for removing the talc, is in a washing machine. SOLUTION: The hoods should never be put in a washing machine for any reason! This degrades the integrity of the seams and rubber. As a consequence, chemical agent may penetrate the hood. The talc is necessary to keep the rubber from sticking during storage. In fact, if the hoods go into storage again, they should be recoated with talc. There is really no reason to remove the talc, but if it must be removed the preferred method is wiping with a damp cloth. Hood, Mask, Chemical-Biological Fiel d, ABC-M6A2 PROBLEM: ZIPPER STICKING -The zippers on the Chemical-Biological Hood (NSN 4240-00999-0420) stick easily. This prohibits donning the hood within 15 seconds, which is required if adequate protection is to be obtained. SOLUTION OF ACT/RQMTS: Five ounce tubes of "Lubri cant, Interlocking Slide Fastener" (NSN 9150-01112-9412) are available for solving this problem. One tube should be enough per organization. With the zipper open, a drop of the lubricant should be placed on the side of the zipper that has "teeth" about one or two inches from where the zipper is opened. The lubricant should be rubbed in and the zipper run up and down. Care should be taken not to over-lubricate the zipper and any excess lubricant should be wiped off. M4 WINTERIZATION KIT FOR FIELD CB MASKS, NSN 4240-00-065-0319 The M4 Winterization Kit is currently being procured for issue to the field without inlet and nosecup valve disks. All users, upon receipt of the M4, should verify if this item has valve disks provided. In those instances where no disks are included, the all purpose disk (NSN 4240-01-104-0965) should be requisitioned and used. In addition, the M4 kit should not be discarded when replacement disks are required for the protective masks. CHANGING M10Al CANISTERS ON M24 AND M25/M25Al PROTECTIVE MASKS The correct adhesive required to change the M10 Canister is Type II Rubber Adhesive, MMM-A-182A. The following NSN's apply: 8040-00-117-8738, Pint; 8040-00-261-8450, 2 oz.

These NSN's are not managed by B14. Requisitions and inquiries should be referred to S9M (Defense Personnel Support Center, Philadelphia, PA) . The i tem manager for the Optical Eyelens Insert at DPSC is Ms. Grace Morangne, AUTOVON 444-2168. M11 CANISTER, NSN 4940-00-112-9365 AND PAD INSERT, NSN 4240-01-127-7333 The M11 Canister has experienced some charcoal leakage in various quantities to the interior of the M9 Series Masks . This leakage can be inhaled by the wearer. A pad insert has been developed which filters out the charcoal particles. The pad inserts should be requisitioned in a quantity sufficient to install on each Mll Canister in stock. Future requisitions of Mll Canisters must be accompanied by a requisition for the same number of pad inserts . Requistions for M11 Canisters will be rejected if not accompaniedby a requisition for pad inserts. The Mll Canister is no less effective against toxic chemicals than it was in the past without the pad insert. The pad insert was developed to prevent a possible health hazard from the charcoal to the wearer of the M9 Series Masks. 3-17 ARRCOMP 750-1 MASK, CBR, PROTECTIVE FIELD, ABC-M17/M17A1 FILTERS -Changing the filters to the mask requires an excessive amount of time. How can the individual safely change filters in a contaminated area? SOLUTION: At the time the M17 was originally developed, the desire to eliminate the canister on the mask cheek area and/or the hose attached to the mask by having the internal, flat filters was paramount. It has since been recognized that the ability to replace the filter in a simple manner is of greater importance including replacement in a contaminated environment, and the new mask development program addresses that fact and returns to a screwed-on external canister at the cheek area. It is totally impractical to consider changing the current M17/M17A1 mask at this time. 81L04-084 DRY ROT -The M17 Masks are dry-rotting at a high rate, sometimes within six months. This is a wide-spread problem throughout the Division. The masks must be turned in and new ones procured prior to each inspection. SOLUTION OR ACT/RQMTS: The masks that were examined by the AMSAA representative were not dry rotted and some of the others that were turned in may have been in the same condi tion. Reference should be made to page 8 of Change 2 (dtd 2 Nov 77) of TM 3-4240-279-10. The TM shows how to pull test the mask for dry rotting. When conducting the test, the appearance of fine cracks that are close to gether is not a cause for rejection of the mask. The September 1982 issue of PS Magazine INCORRECTLY defines dry rotting. ARRCOM issued the following world-wide message correcting the error. "Subject PS Magazine Issue 358 in reference to dry rot. 1. In this issue of PS Magazine, para 2 and 3 on page 2, the definition they give on how to spot dry rot is in error. The signs of dry rot are not two or more fine cracks close togther. 2. The proper definition of dry rot is as follows: "Dry rot may appear as stiff dry areas which crumble when rubbed between fingers and exhibit cracks which visibly expend in length or depth while rubber is held in a stretched position. Dry rot may also appear as sticky or spongy areas that can easily be pierced with finger pressure . " 3 . Consult the following Technical Manuals for more information regarding dry rot procedures: TM 3-4240-279-10 w/Chg 2 and TM 3-4240-279-20&P w/Chg 1 &2 . 4. For further information concerning this subject matter, POC this HQ is SSG(P) Snell, AUTOVON 793-6891/4587, or Commander, US Army Armament Materiel Readiness Command, ATTN: DRSAR-MAO-NC, Rock Island, IL 61299." If there still is some doubt about the integrity of a mask, the Director of Industrial Operations (DIO) at Schofield Barracks can run a DOP (Dioctyl Thalate) test, using the M4 Mask Tester, and certify that the mask is acceptable for use. 3-18 ARRCPMP 750-1 81L03-059 STITCHING UNRAVELLING -The stitching on the carrier becomes unravelled, pulls out, and the carrier comes apart . The organization keeps sending the carriers back to canvas repair to get them resewn . SOLUTION OR ACT/RQMTS: The quality control for some of the carriers, which were produced under con tract, was poor. They should be sent to a canvas repair shop if one is in the local area. It is, however, not cost effective to have the carriers re paired repeatedly; consequently, if the stitching keeps coming loose, they should be classified as unserviceable and turned-in for replacement. 82104-083 WATERPROOF BAG -The mask has to be put into a M1 waterproof bag (NSN 4240-00377-9401) during rain, high humidity, and water crossings because the filters are very water sensitive. The bag closure, however, does not seal very well. Three rubber bands are needed to keep the bag closed. A zip-lock bag is needed. SOLUTION OR ACT/RQMTS: CSL tested zip-lock bags and determined that they do not insure waterproofness. Also, the cost of heavy, plastic zip-lock bags is prohibitive. The M1 bag was tested and does provide complete waterproof protection if it is sealed in accordance with the instructions in Change 1 (dated 2 Nov 77) to TM 3-4240-279-10 . The M1 bag is supposed to be closed and the closure. "S" folded prior to wrapping a rubber band around it. This will insure a good seal. Only one rubber band is to be used, not three, so that when the bag is yanked open, the rubber band will fly off. Extra rubber bands are provided in case any are lost. The M1A1 CB Mask Waterproof Bag (NSN 4240-00-803-5839), which was developed for Viet Nam, has snap-fastener closures . It is still in the supply system and units may wish to consider using this bag in place of the M1 . DEFECTIVE VALVE SEAT HOUSING ASSEMBLY DISC -It has been discovered that some valve discs have displayed deterioration; i.e., brittleness flaking. There has been no determination as the cause of this problem. SOLUTION : These procedures should be followed when inspecting the ABC-M17/Ml7A1, Mask, Chemical-Biological for possible deterioration of the inner valve disc in the voicemitter . When inspecting for defecti ve valve disc refer to diagram in Incl 1 . Carefully lift edges of items 1/13 and 12. Below the plastic grid which supports item 12, the valve disc in question may be visually inspected for deterioration (shriveling, cracks, etc). The voicemitters white rigid plastic housing should also be checked at that time. For further information concerning this matter consult TM 3-4240-279-10 and TM 3-4240-279-20&P. 3-19 ARRCOMP 750-1 RESUSCITATION TUBE -The end of the M1 Resuscitation Tube (NSN 4240-00-9302078) that goes into the patient's mouth causes him to inhale contaminated air from the surrounding atmosphere during mask-to-mouth resuscitation. It is suggested that a female connector be designed for both ends of the tube so resuscitation can be performed from mask-to-mask instead of mask-tomouth or that the M1 be redesi gned . SOLUTION: If the technique for using the M1 is performed as shown on page 2-20 of TM 3-4240-279-10, the area ar ound the patient's mouth will be sealed and contami nated air should not enter. Mask-to-mask resuscitation is not practical because the resulting air pressure would blow open the patient's mask thereby destroying the mask's seal. CARRIER (M15A1) -The hip strap on the mask carrier (NSN 4240-00-933-2533) is pulling out at the end sewn into the carrier (not the clip end) . It appears that the end of t he strap was not stuck into the seam far enough before it was stitched. All of the carriers were new and failed within six mont hs . A contract number or manufacturing date is not available. SOLUTION: This problem was discovered and corrected for new production of the M15A1 carriers several years ago. Some defective stocks may, however, have gotten into the supply system . Users should notify the NICP and request disposition instructi ons. 82L04-082 NOSECUP VALVE DISC -The nosecup valve disk allows air to enter the mask to keep the lenses from fogging . When using the mask in hot weather, the disk (4240-00-678-0728) melts onto the metal valve assembly. Once the disk melts, some breathing discomfort and fogging of the eyelenses occurs . Also, the masks are stored in the NBC room which is usually not air conditioned, and this environment causes the disks to melt. There are two types of disks : thin ones and thick ones. The thick disks are causing no problem, it is the thin disks that melt. SOLUTION OF ACT/RQMTS : The thin disks were discontinued and are being replaced by the thicker silicon disks (NSN 4240-01-104-0965) which, as the finding states, work fine. The replacement disk will be used for the nosecup and the inlet valve. It is the same disk used in the winterization kit . M1 EYELENS OUTSERTS -The M1 Eyelens Outserts (NSN 4240-00-678-0731) develop a haze that seriously impairs vision and affects the soldier's ability to perform his mission. The haze does not appear in the eyelens before they are issued . 3-20 ARRCOMP 750-1 SOLUTION: The haziness on the samples that were examined appeared to be from scratching. This problem is also common to the M25Al Tanker's Mask . It can be minimized by careful and proper handling. In any event, the purpose of the outserts is to protect the mask lenses from being scratched . When the outserts themselves become badly scratched they should be discarded and replaced by new ones . Another alternative is to clean and polish the eyelenses with Cleani ng and Poli shi ng Compound, Plastic, Type I (NSN 7930-00-634-5340) . MASK, CHEMICAL-BIOLOGICAL, AIRCRAFT, ABC-M24 COMMUNICATION -There is a need to be able to communi cate over ground radi os while weari ng the ABC-M24 aviator's protecti ve mask (NSN 4240-00-7764384) . It has been suggested that the mask be provi ded wi th an adapter to satisfy thi s need. SOLUTION: Provide the mask with a voicemitter , but cons i dering the construction of the M24 mask, it is totally impractical to suggest a redesign to i ncorporate a voicemitter at this time. The new mask is consuming all available effort and will result in a mask (in the aircrew configurati on) that has both a voicemitter and a microphone . Current procurement of the M24 Mask would not permit a redesign (to include a voi cemi tter) prior to fielding the new mask. 3-21 ARRCOMP 750-1 MASK, PROTECTIVE, TANK, M25A1 LENSES -The lenses in the M25A1 mask (NSN 4240-00-994-8751, etc . depending on size) have mold spots that abstruct the user's vision. There doesn't seem to be any way to remove the fungus. SOLUTION: These lenses were laminated using three layers of polyvinylchoride (PVC). At the time this was done, fungus spores were trapped between the layers. Under the right conditions of temperature and humidity, the spores blossom and then because they do not receive nourishment, they die and leave black spots. To resolve this problem, the inspection procedure has been tightened and new production models will be single layer, non-laminated polyurethane. There is no way to repair an affected mask. If the user's vision is obstructed, the entire mask must be replaced. 81103-060 CHIN STRAP -The rubber portion of the chin strap tears after a small amount of use . Just the chin strap tears, not the forehead strap. SOLUTION OR ACT/RQMTS: This is most likely because of paint chipping off the copper harness buckles. The exposed copper attacks and breaks down the butyl rubber . The reaction affects the clip and buckle assembly tabs first. It it's not stopped, it spreads into the facepiece and ruins the mask. If the paint is chipped, the buckles or clips should be removed from the mask and repainted . A 4-ounce bottle of paint is available under NSN 8010-00-085-0559. 81103-063 COUPLING -The canister coupling (NSN 4240-00-300-6457) on the M25A1 mask (NSN 4240-00-994-8751 etc., depending on size) protrudes from the carrier. The coupling is damaged from getting in and out of the tank, and when the prongs inside the coupling break, the valve on the gas particulate filter system is not pushed in and the user can't get air . SOLUTION OF ACT/RQMTS: This problem was previously surfaced in Europe in 1975 and reported as #75L0347G. The couplings are heavy gauge aluminum and should not break easily. If broken, they should immediately be replaced. Spare couplings can be ordered under NSN 4240-00-994-8751 . 81103-056 HOOD -The ABC-M5 Hood comes loose from the mask in the forehead area. The bottom part of the sides of the chin also comes loose. As a result, those areas of the skin are subject to contamination. 3-22 ARRCOMP 750-1 SOLUTION OR ACT/RQMTS: If this hood is mounted correctly, it cannot come loose at the chin because it is laced around the outlet cover. A little bit of looseness is needed in order to mount the hood on the mask . The only way it can possibly be loose at the forehead is if the snaps come loose or the mounting tabs are torn. If this is not the case, then samples of loose hoods should be forwarded to: Commander, US Army Armament Materiel Readiness Command, ATTN: DRSAR-LEA, Rock Island, llinois 61299. Notification that samples were forwarded should be sent to: Director, USA Materiel Systems Analysis Activity, ATTN: DRXSYFA, Aberdeen Proving Ground, Maryland 21005 . 81103-062 LENSES-The lenses in the M25Al mask (NSN 4240-00-994-8751, etc . , depending on size) have mold spots that obstruct the user's vision. There doesn't seem to be any way to remove the fungus. SOLUTION OR ACT/RQMTS: These lenses were laminated using three layers of polyvinylchloride (PVC) . At the time this was done, fungus spores were trapped between the layers. Under the right conditions of temperature and humidity, the spores blossom and then because they do not receive nourishment, they die and leave black spots. To resolve this problem, the inspection procedure has been tightened and new production models will be single layer, non-laminated polyurethane. There is no way to repair an affected mask . If the user's vision is obstructed, the entire mask must be replaced. 81103-064 M5 HOOD -The M7 aircraft crew hood would be preferred over the M5 Hood (NSN 4240-00-994-875 etc., depending on size) because the M7 fits over the tanker's helmet whereas the M5 does not . The M5 blocks hearing because it is between the headset and the ear. Many tank crewmen do not wear it for this reason. SOLUTION OR ACT/RQMTS: This suggestion and others like it have been made in the past. A similar proposal has been made in regard to the Mask, CB, Combat Vehicle: XM34 which is currently (Aug 1981) undergoing troop testing to determine whether the hood should be worn under or over the CVC helmet. This option has caused a problem in that the hoods are being snagged and/or torn when worn over the helmet in the close quarters of an armored vehicle. At this time no decision has been made. This problem should be resolved before the XM34 is fielded. Rather than wearing the M7 Hood under the helmet, the M5 Hood, which is smaller, was designed to provide greater confort to the wearer by the elimination of excess material . This is a final report. 3-23 ARRCOMP 750-1 81L03-054 MICROPHONE -The cord on the microphone element in the M-116/G MicrophoneDynamic Assembly fails, or else the carbon microphone (NSN 5965-00-985-8770)falls apart. Sometimes the transmission is intermittent, other times dead. SOLUTION OR ACT/RQMTS: The electronics Command supplies the contractor with the microphones for installation at the time of production. Many of these microphones have been found to have the cited problems. The contractor is now required to perform a 100% inspection of the microphones prior to installing them. This should resolve the problem for new production masks. Faulty microphones in existingmasks can be replaced following the procedures in TM 3-4240-280-10. 81L02-198 COUPLING CANISTER -The opening of the Ml coupling canister (NSN 4240-00300-6457) can very easily fill with dirt and become clogged . If that happens,the mask becomes inoperable . A rubber cap should be provided to prevent the entry of dirt or mud. Perhaps the cap could be attached to the carrier to prevent its loss. SOLUTION OR ACT/RQMTS: This same suggestion was submitted in 1979 . ARRCOM and TRADOC rejected the idea because it would create an untenable hazard in combat. If the cap were left on during combat, the mask would be inoperable. In garrison, it was decided that the benefits did not outweigh the cost of design, testing, and fielding. 3-24 ARRCOMP 750-1 M18 HEADWOUND MASK, NSN 4240-00-678-5262 A meeting was held 29 Jul 82 to discuss problems of the M18 Mask and alternatives to the continuation of the M18 design . Several alternatives were discussed, but no conclusions were arrived at during the meeting. More information on an alternative should be known after 30 Sep 82. This information will be passed on as soon as it becomes available . The M18 Headwound Mask will no longer be procured and there is no stock on hand. In the meantime, all requisitions for the M18 Headwound Mask will be back ordered. M13A2 FILTERS, NSN 4240-00-165-5026 M13 and M13Al Filter Elements used for riot control and training are no longer available and will not be procured again. All requisitions for these filter elements will now be filled with the M13A2 Filter Element, NSN 4240-00 165-5026 . Ml3A2 Filters used in the Ml7 Series Protective Mask are designed with an "expected shelf life" of 7 years. This is a design estimate only and can be extended every 2 years lAW SB 3-30-2 . A continuing evaluation test is conducted on all lots manufactured and serviceability status is reported in the quarterly update of the SB . Information concerning distribution and latest changes to the SB should be directed to the US Army Armament Materiel Readiness Command, ATTN: DRSAR-QAF-C, Rock Island, IL 61299, AUTOVON 7934851, ext 258/260 . Once opened, the M13A2 Filter Elements have a peacetime operational service life of 2 months in tropic climates (categories 1, 2, and 3), 12 months in temperate climates (categories 4, 5, and 6), and 24 months in arctic climates (categories 7 and 8). Climate categories are defined by AR 70-38. Those elements that exceed thi s operational service life remain serviceable for riot control and training only . 3-25 ARRCOMP 750-1 M14A1 OUTLET VALVE LEAKAGE INDICATORS All M4A1 Outlet Valve Leakage Indicators, NSN 6665-00-738-2128, LINK 72050, should be inspected to see if they were procured under contract DAAA09-80C-2267. These have been released to users from 1 Feb 81 to present. Items with contract number DAAA09-80-C-2267 should be further inspected since the Sensitive Switch, NSN 5930-00-975-6967, within the Probe Assembly, NSN 6665-00-792-2534, has, in some cases, had the electric leads connected by way of a screw type connector in lieu of a soldered connection. M4A1's with the screw type connectors must be suspended from use pending modification. The problem is that the screw may touch the frame causing a short circuit and potential safety hazard. The procedure to correct this problem is as follows: ( 1) Remove the defective switch and forward it by parcel post to Air Techniques, Inc, 1801 Whitehead Road, Baltimore, MD 21207 . Attach a letter to the package citing the contract number. Be sure to include a complete retur n mailing address. (2) Upon receipt of the replacement, install it in the indicator and continue use. Repairs will be made in accordance with TM 3-6665-209-35P at DS/GS levels. 3-26 ARRCOMP 750-1 SECTION III DEFENSIVE EQUIPMENT B. COLLECTIVE PROTECTION EQUIPMENT 3-27 ARRCOMP 750-1 Figure 18.

NSN 4240-00-854-4144 3-28 ___j ARRCOMP 750-1 MSl Shelter System GENERAL INFORMATION The MSl Shelter System is a self-contained unit, designed to provide collective protection for 10 occupants against, all known chemical-biological (CB) agents. It is normal ly deployed whenever a CB attack is anticipated or imminent. Using alternate erection procedures, it can be deployed during or immediately after a CB attack (contaminated environment). The shelter system can be stored or used in most climates and erected on most terrains. In normal weather, four men and a crew chief can remove the shelter systems from the trailer and erect it in approximately 30 minutes . Disassembly and return to the transit configuration can also be accomplished in approximately 30 minutes. Basically the shelter system consists of an inflatable entrance, inflatable shelter, military standard gasoline engine (20hp), a gas-particulate filter assembly, an air conditioning system, heating system, centrifugal blower, generator, an entrance gas-particulate filter unit, an air evacuation fan, emergency shelter supports, and the necessary cables, controls and flexible ducts . A modified standard MlOSA2, 1-1/2 ton trailer transports the system. The entire system is air droppable . 3-29 ARRCOMP 750-1 MCPE PROTECTIVE ENTRANCE AIRFLOW VALVE AND SILENCER ASSEMBLY AIR CONDITIONER AR 910268 Figure 20 .

The modular CPE comes in three sizes 200, 400, 600 CFM. There is also a static frequency converter XM5 to go with the CPE. When available power is 208 Vac, 3 phase, 60Hz, the converter will transform it to 208 Vac, 3 phase, 400Hz, required power for the MCPE. The basic components of the MCPE are the Protective Entrance (PE), the Gas-Particulate Filter Unit (GPFU), and an Installation Kit, Representative MCPE components, as applied to a typical shelter, are shown in (fig 19). The shelter itself and the air conditioning unit are not components of the MCPE. The collective protection capability is provided by a filter unit, a protective entrance, and an installation kit, and will be adapted for use on over forty other systems in the future. The filter unit purifies contaminated air and under positive pressure routes the air through the air conditioner into the crew work area. The protective entrance provides a pressurized transitional area allowing entry and exit to and from the work area without loss of protective pressure. The installation kit provides electrical cables, air hoses, and miscellaneous hardware required for the filter unit and protective entrance.

When operating, the shelter is pressurized and is designed to provide collective protection for ten occupants against all known chemical-biological agents. A red mask light provides a visual indication when the interior air pressure has dropped to an unsafe level of +0.15 inch WG (water gage) . The light is an indication to personnel to don masks immediately. Also, there is a low air pressure buzze r inside the auxiliary control indicator. It sounds a warning when the internal pressure drops below +0.15 inch WG, and is also an indication to personnel to don masks immediately. A problem common to all six shelters in t he battalion is that the buzzer only turns off when the mask alarm silent switch is engaged and the mask light will not go off at all. SOLUTION OF ACT/RQMTS: A similar problem with this type shelter in other Army units was traced to defective solenoids. Bad solenoids from the lot can be identified by contract number DAA 15-72-C-0345. This number is located on the front right corne r of the M105A2, 1-1/2 ton trailer which is used to transport the system. The number identifies the contract of the collective protection system. If this contract number is on the trailer, then the solenoid name plate should be checked. Its location is specified in TM 3-4240-264-34P dated November 1975 with Change 1, dated May 1977 and Change dated October 1981. It is listed under NSN 4811-00-004-0727, PN 05-19-5172 in that manual. The solenoid is from the defective lot if the name plate shows "VOLT/HERTZ 20-28 VOLTS DC VALVE CATALOG NO. 8215A84."

The present procedure in TM 9-2350-253-10, TM 9235 0-253-10-1 and 20-2 for checking air flow at each station (i.e., hold hand over outlet to feel air flow) i s hardly adequate when one considers that an excited and hardworking crewman (such as during combat) needs a much larger volumn of filtered air than under normal circumstances. SOLUTION: The following procedures for testing the air flow at each station will be included in the next change to TM 9-2350-253-20-1 (for the driver's station) and TM 9-2350-253-20-2 (for the loader's, gunner's and commander's station). The procedures are as foll ows: a. Slide the spring clip away f rom the slotted openings of the precleaner (blower) assembly and place the tank's master switch and GPFU switch to the "on" position (blower must function). b. Remove the "Calibrated Orifice Assembly" from the Air Flow Tester (NSN 6680-00-436-4212) and zero the Magnehelic Gage . c. Disconnect the crewmember's hose (for the station being tested) from the connector in the vehicle and att ach it to the "Calibrated Orifice Assembly" connector of the air flow tester. d . After completion of test, reconnect the crewmember's hose to the vehi cle connector, place the tank's master switch and GPFU switch to the "off" position and recover the slott ed holes in the Precleaner (blower) assembly with the spring clip. e. Acceptable airflow is 2.0 to 4.7 inches of water (3.0 to 4.5 CFU). If purifier has an externally adjustable airflow regulator, correct airflow by i nserting a screwdriver through the left center slot over the identification plate and into the adjusting mechanism. Turn counterclockwise to increase and clockwise to decrease airflow. HEATER SHORTING OUT -The Heater, Air Electric, Filter Unit (NSN 4240-00 807-6856) for the Gas-Part iculate Filter Unit (NSN 4240-00-853-3201) shorts out during normal operation. The cause is believed to be the thermo stat sticking or the resistor burning out. Fixty percent of the time, the thermostat sticks and makes the heater nonoperational. About thirty percent of t he time, the thermostat will not work and the remainder of the time the resistor burns out. SOLUTION: The M3 Heater is not a component of the M8A3 Filter Unit, and its use with such is not currently authorized. A great many of the failures are caused by rough use and exposure to moisture during clean-up of the vehicle. 3-50 IS-£ J.NIIWdin03 DNIJ.VNIJ.IVJ.NO:J30 . a J.NIIWdiG03 3AISN3l30 III NOI.L:J3S 1-0SL dJ.IO:JIDIV ARRCOMP 750-1 Figure 30.

The M258A1 is replacing the M258 on a one for one basis. Fielding of the improved kit began in FY81. The M258A1 consists of a plastic OD colored case with three applications each of solution No. 1 and No. 2 in a towelette configuration, overwraped in OD colored foil. The M258A1 corrects the known application and storage problems of the M258 kit. Additionally, the kit provides for three complete decons . Unlike the original M258, the improved kit is authorized for use on the interior of the mask and for decontamination of the upper face. The kit can also be used to decon selected items of personal equipment. A training verision, the M58Al, is also available. It is identical in use and configuration to the M258A1 with the following exceptions: the case is black, rather than OD; the foil overwrap is blue, and the solution on the towelettes is alcohol. A refill kit for the M58A1 training kit cosisting of 30 each solution No. 1 and No. 2 is also available.

Recent carburetors have been manufactured by Bendix-Zenith. If difficulties are experienced during replacement of these carburetors, contact DRSAR-MAONC for assistance in fabricating a replacement linkage assembly. NSN 423001-129-3106 has been assigned. 3-58 ARRCOMP 750-1 DECON TIPS LUBRICATION OF PUMP DRAIN &PRIME VALVES The valve seats on the pump drain and pump ball valves need not be lubricated. The valves are adequately lubricated by the oil-water mixture circulated through the pump and drained after operations. PREPARATION OF THE FUEL AND PRIME DETERGENT TANKS FOR SHIPMENT AND/OR STORAGE Several decon apparatuses were received from field depots that had corrosion in the tanks which appeared to be condensed salt water. This had caused small holes in the tanks . It should be noted that TMs 38230-1 & -2 (Preservation, Packaging, & Packing of Military Supplies and Equipment) provide procedures and authority to oil fog interior surfaces of tanks. Based upon the above, fog the interior surfaces of the fuel tank and prime-detergent tank with grade 30 oil, group 3-P7 type metal preservation, and in accordance with procedures in paragraph 2-17, TM 38-230 1. FUEL GAGE AND TRANSMITTER If your Ml2Al serial number is below 587-869 and you order a replacement fuel gage NSN 6680-00-221-1037, be sure to order a new transmitter NSN 6680-00-234-2111 and replace both. The new gage is not compatible with the old transmitter. Nl2A1 DECON FILMS Two training films for the M12A1 Decontaminating Apparatus have been produced .

Further TM 3-4230-209-12, May 71, figures 1-2 and 1-3 indicates that the oil pressure sender (S5) is issued with the Mil STD engine. Switch is added and managed by ARRCOM. The 2PSI oil pressure sender is added to operate the pressure gage and to disconnect the alternator from the battery when not used in conjunction with the starter switch to prevent battery drain. The symptom of a defective oil pressure sender would be no oil pressure reading. USE OF ANTIFREEZE IN M11 DECON APPARATUS FOR TRAINING The Chemical Systems Laboratory has determined that the use of antifreeze (NSN 6850-00-181-7933) in the M11 for training is authorized. Care should be taken to assure all excess antifreeze is removed prior to introducing DS2 into .the M11, as antifreeze reduces the reactivity of DS2. The antifreeze has corrosion inhibiting properties that are desirable in preventing rust on the interior of the M11. Plain water, when used with corrosion inhibitor powder (NSN 6850-00-7534967), as specified in TM 3-4230-204-12&P, is still authorized for training. 241430Z Feb 82 Message Text SUBJECT: M12A1 Decon Apparatus, Fuel Cap Instruction Highlighting 1.

POC at ARRCOM is Mr. Ratcliff, AV 793-4764. 3-60 ARRCOMP 750-1 142120Z MAR 79 Text of worldwide message is reproduced for information . SUBJECT: Unit Storage of Supertropical Bleach (STB) and DS2 Decontaminant 1. In response to many questions from chemical support units concerning storage of small quantities of supertropical bleach (STB) and DS2 decontaminant in the unit areas, the following guidance is furnished: a. Hazards: (1) STB is commercial bleach to which 6% calcium oxide has been added. Although it is no t a fire hazard, it must be protected from temperatures in excess of 150°C (302°F) when it becomes an explosive hazard . (2) DS2 is a combus t ible, alkaline, corrosive liquid. It has a flash point of 175°F . Alone it is not a "flammable" liquid and is not considered to be a fire or toxic hazard . When mixed with STB, an exothermic (heat releasing) reaction occurs which can result in a fire . b. Storage: (1) Because DS2 and STB are chemically i ncompatible, they should be stored separately. However, small quantities may be stored in the same area if the following precautions are taken: (a) Never store one on top of the other . (b) In a building they should be stored no closer than five feet apart with a fireproof barrier with liquid tight seal at the floor to prevent DS2 from entering the area where STD is stored, or DS2 may be stored in an area where the floor is designed so that any leaking DS2 would drain away from STB . (c) Out of doors, DS2 may be contained by an earthen dike or stored so that any drainage is away from STB. (2) Never mix STB or DS2 solutions i n area where the other is stored . (3) Both STB and DS2 should be stored on pallets in a cool dry place . They should be checked on a regular basis (once every 12 months) for corroded containers or leakage. (4) Small quantities of DS2 may be stored i n unit supply if they are protected from temperatures in excess of 120° . (5) No fire symbols are necessary for e i ther DS2 or STB. c . Leaking containers of DS2 should be segregated from other DS2, preferably in an uninhabited area, and disposed of in accordance with TM 43-0003-28 . A protective mask and rubber gloves should be worn to prevent inhalation of vapors and eye or ski n irritation . If DS2 comes in contact with skin, wash it off with water. 2. The above information should be disseminated to all appli cable elements . 3-61 ARRCOMP 750-1 MESSAGE TEXT 1.

A RECENT INCIDENT WAS REPORTED WITH THE M12A1 DECONTAMINATING APPARATUS. THE DECONTAMINATING APPARATUS STOPPED RUNNING DURING AN EXTENDED OPERATION IN TEMPERATURES EXCEEDING 90 DEGREES FAHRENHEIT. THE OPERATOR REMOVED THE FUEL TANK CAP TO CHECK THE FUEL SUPPLY. DURING REMOVAL OF THE FUEL TANK CAP, BUILT UP PRESSURE WAS REPORTED TO HAVE FORCED FUEL FROM THE FILLER OPENING. THE FUEL WAS IGNITED BY THE EXHAUST MANIFOLD, FLAMES ENGULFED THE ENGINE, DESTROYING THE PLASTIC FUEL LINES, THUS ALLOWING FUEL TO BE GRAVITY FED TO THE FLAME. CLOSING OF THE FUEL SHUTOFF STOPPED THE FUEL FLOW. OPERATOR RECEIVED SECOND AND THIRD DEGREE BURNS TO ARMS AND NECK . 2. REVIEW REVEALED THAT THE APPARATUS HAD BEEN OPERATED WITH THE ENGINE SHROUDS REMOVED. THE MILITARY STANDARD ENGINE IS AIR COOLED, AND AS SUCH, THE SHROUDS MUST REMAIN IN PLACE DURING OPERATIONS. FURTHER, THE FUEL TANK CAP WAS IN THE CLOSED OR FORDING POSITION. 3. TO MINIMIZE THE POSSIBILITIES OF A LIKE INCIDENT, REQUEST ALL USERS OF THE M12Al DECONTAMINATING APPARATUS ASSURE THAT THE FUEL TANK CAP IS IN THE OPEN POSITION, REFERENCE TM 3-4230-209-12, PAGE 4-41, PARA 4-5C, AND THAT THE ENGINE SHROUDS ARE IN PLACE WHEN OPERATING THE M12A1 DECONTAMINATING APPARATUS, REFERENCE TM 3-4230-209-12, PAGE 2-7, TABLE 2-1, PARA 9, and TM 5-2805-259-14, PAGE 2-2, PARA 2-5C.

To save yourself some time, frustration and money, do these things during freezing weather when you finish using your decon: a. Open the pump drain valve and leave it open . b . Open #4 valve and drain the prime detergent tank. c. Extend all hoses all the way and drain. d. Open tank unit drain valve and drain. e. Be sure the M2 Heater is drained. Note: When you are draining the Ml2Al, make sure the units are level. If they have to be off level a bit, let the low end be the pump unit drain end. "Don't forget your three pints of PL oil like it says in the TM" (it will lube the inside workings, the pump drain valve, and the #4 valve) . 3-65 ARRCOMP 750-1 DECON TIPS--Continued If you don't have the label or stencil above the pump drain valve, stencil it on like this: CAUTION (1/2" ltrs) TO AVOID FREEZE DAMAGE, KEEP PUMP DRAIN VALVE OPEN WHEN EQUIPMENT IS NOT IN OPERATION DECON STATUS M3A2 Obsolete M3A3 Obsolete M9 Obsolete Mll Standard Ml2Al Standard Ml3 Standard Ml HTR Obsolete M2 HTR Standard DANC Obsolete DS2 Standard M258Al Standard M58Al Standard NOTE Action has been initiated to delete separate type classification of the M2 Water Heater. The use of engine oil for the M2 Heater as an additive as proposed by a suggestion will be used in place of #2 diesel fuel oil now specified in TM 3-4230-209-12 because of its better lubricating qualities and its ability to inhibit rust. The TM wil l be revised to specify use of engine oil rather than just 10 weight oil which may not be readily available. As a result of the investigation, the manual will also be changed to provide for injecting engine oil in the pump through a removable plug after operation, if it is anticipated that the unit will be placed in storage for an extended period of time, i.e., a month or more.

However, production of the M258A1 Skin Kit has been temporarily delayed and there are many back orders; therefore, use of the M13 Kit may be required by users who do not have the overgarment and the M258A1 Kit. There are no wholesale stocks of the M13 Kits. Request all reuisitions for the M13 Kit be reviewed for validity and all excess be reported to ARRCOM (B14) as soon as possible. Excess is the only source of stock. Credit will be furnished for excess until back orders are filled. REFILL KIT, NSN 6910-01-113-2434, FOR SKIN DECONTAMINATING TRAINING AID KIT We would like to emphasize that there is a refill kit for the M58A1 Training Aid, Skin Decon Kit. The refill kit, NSN 6910-01-113-2434, contains 10 savings if the plastic case complete refills for the M58A1 and provides a of the original M58A1 is preserved for re-use . The M258A1 Skin Decontaminating Kit is not, repeat not, to be used for training. 3-68 69-£ SNOilfi10S RI3Hl ONV 01ll~ 3Hl WOR~ SWl1HORd GllROdla (9) ·a III NOilJlS 1-0SL dWOJIDIV ARRCOMP 750-1 DECONTAMINATING APPARATUS, PORTABLE, 1-1/2 QT, ABC-M11 RUST -The ABC-M11 Decontaminating Apparatus (NSN 4230-00-720-1618) rusts i nside and cannot easily be cleaned . A wire brush and long drill rod can be used effectively but they are not available; besides, this procedure wears out the bottom of the container. How can the container be used without ruining them? SOLUTION: Excellent tips on this problem appeared in the February 1980 issue of PS Magazine as follows: "Rusty But Trusty? A rusty M11 portable decon can still be a serviceable decon. No need to hit the panic button. Just clean the decon inside and outside the best you can . Hold the water if your decon has bad DS2 in it. It will make the rust worse . Just wipe t he container real well . The siphon tube will catch some of t he rust particles. If the rust gets too bad (large flakes) turn your decon in to support. They can clean the containers with abrasive grai n or glass beads. You can help keep rust down if you store the M11 with its head assembly screwed on tight and use the inhibitor powder call for in the TM. You can get 1 pound with NSN 6850-00-368-5233, or 2 ounces, NSN 6850-00-865-2916." Another very effecti ve procedure has been developed which is suitable for use only at GS level because highly corrosive and dangerous chemicals are used. For more details on this procedure, the safety officer can contact US Army Chemical Systems Laboratory, ATTN : DRDAR-CLW-ED, Edgewood Area, Aberdeen Proving Ground, MD 21010 . HANDLE PIVOT PIN -The pins on which the handle pivots, bends and conse quently binds when it is pressed. Also the lock washer on the end of the pin is not readily available . SOLUTION: Bending of the pivot pins is caused by mishandling . The instruction in TM 3-4230-204-12&P should be followed carefully to avoid damaging the equipment . Lock washers are now available. They can be ordered as Ring, Re taining, External (NSN 5365-00-282-1633, MS 16633-1018) . · WIRE LOCKING TOGGLE -The Wire Locking Toggle portion of the Mounting Bracket (NSN 4230-00-776-4385) on the strap for the ABC-M11 Decontaminating Apparatus (NSN 4230-00-720-1618) spreads apart and will not hold . Tape is used on the bed toggles so they will hold but the tape stretches and comes apart . SOLUTION: On page 4-2 of TM 3-4230-204-13, dated February 1978, specifies the use of tape . This is the best method presently known for holding the toggle. Since 1977, the toggles have been changed to a mechanical type having one butt weld . The new toggles will not spread. The newer ones are replacing the older ones through attrition. 3-70 ARRCOMP 750-1 DECONTAMINATING APPARATUS, M258 REFILL KITS INCOMPLETE -The Skin Decontaminating Training Aid Refill Kits (NSN 6910-01-021-0789) are being received with only six scrapers in the kit when they should have twenty. The kits are manufactured by the STRATOTECH Corporation, El Segundo, California . SOLUTION OR ACT/RQMTS: This problem was verified by ARRCOM and the item will not be reordered . No more contracts are being awarded to STRATOTECH Corporation because of a history of problems not only with this item but other items the company has manufactured. For those kits that do not have enough scrapers, popsicle sticks, coffee stirrers, t ongue depressors, or similar substitutes may be used. The M258A1 Decontaminating Apparatus is scheduled to replace the M258 (NSN 423000-123-3180). DECONTAMINATING APPRATUS, PORTABLE, 1 1/2 QT, ABC-M11 CLEANING -There is a lip extending into the ABC-M11 Decontaminating Apparatus (NSN 4230-00-720-1618). This lip makes it difficult to clean remaining DS2 from the device. SOLUTION OR ACT/RQMTS: The neck of the container is designed with a "lip" to prevent over-filling with fluid. Over-filling and subsequent nitrogen pressurizing of the container could deform it. The lower edge of the "lip" coincides with the exterior fill line on the container. All the remaining DS2 should drain through by removing the drain plug in the top of the apparatus. The M11 should not be drained by removing the sprayhead assembly. DECONTAMINATION AND REIMPREGNATING KIT, INDIVIDUAL, M13 TRAINING AID NEEDED -There is no training aid available for the M13 Kit (NSN 4230-00-907-4828). A practice kit for practical training exercises would add realism. SOLUTION OR ACT/RQMTS : The M13 Kit is being phased out and replaced by the M258A1 kit (NSN 4230-01101-3984). The training aid for the M258A1 will be the M58A1 (NSN 6910-01101-1768) which will have a refill kit. (See finding 81L03-076) . 3-71 ARRCOMP 750-1 TRAINING AID, SKIN DECONTAMAINATION, M58 REFILL AVAILABILITY -Refills (NSN 6910-01-021-0789) for the M58 training kit (NSN 6910-00-148-7011) are ordered but not received. The organization is told to resubmit their orders . SOLUTION OR ACT/RQMTS: The M58 kit is being phased out and replaced by the M58A1 (NSN 6910-01 101-1768). DECONTAMINATING APPARATUS, ABC-M12A1 CONTROL BOX -Water leaks t hrough the cover of the control box on the M2 water heater (NSN 4410-00-542-5656) when it rains. Once the water rises to the l evel of the electrical components, they short out. SOLUTION OR ACT/RQMTS: There is a 1/4" drain hole (two total) approximately 1/4" from each side on the bottom sheet of the control box. If these holes are kept open, water that enters the box should drain freely and not accumulate and rise to the level of the electrical components. Care must also be taken that excessive amounts of water are not sprayed on top of the M2 water heater during washing. The new solid state replacement for the control box will be sealed better. BATTERY CHARGING -The alternator (NSN 2920-00-302-6499) on the pump unit (NSN 4230-00-902-3225) seems incapable of charging the battery that starts the engine (NSN 2805-00-872-5972). Wire tracing indicates that no connectors exist for battery charging. SOLUTION OR ACT/RQMTS: This alternator supplies power to the M2 water heater only. The engine itself has an alternator in it that supplies power to the battery. Shorting of t he wiring harness on the engine is the usual cause of failure. The elec~rical harness is held in place along the top edge of the engine shroud with clips. If these clips are removed or missing, the harness will fail because it will lie against the hot cylinders. Inspection of the engine should, therefore, include checking the suspension of the wiring harness. The only fuses in the engine's electrical system are in the battery charging regulator. They are 14 amp fuses to prevent overcharging of the system. They also provide reverse polarity protection. When these fuses blow out, the battery charging system is inoperable. 3-72 ARRCOMP 750-1 DECONTAMINATING APPARATUS, ABC-M12A1 VOLTAGE INDICATOR -The M12A1 has a warning light (NSN 6210-00-901-9301) that comes on when the generator is not charging the battery. If the lamp (NSN 6210-00-019-0878) is burned out, the problem can exist and not be apparent. A voltage indicator is needed. SOLUTION OR ACT/RQMTS: ECP #278 has been approved for adding an ammeter (NSN 6625-00-066-1278) to the control panel of the M12A1 to indicate how much current is charging the battery. The generator light has been retained as it indicates whether the alternator is functioning. The local ARRCOM FMT can be contacted for a copy of the ECP. UNLEVEL TERRAIN -The M12A1 is mounted in a 5 ton truck and the unit will automatically shut off if the truck is parked on a slope. The M12A1 engine should be mounted on a platform which can be leveled when the truck is on a slope, or the truck should be provided with leveling jacks. SOLUTION: MIL-STD-1401 requires the unit to operate properly on any angle up to 15 degrees from horizontal. They do not concur in providing a leveling plat form for the pump unit. They consider it more reasonable to use wooden material to block up the pump unit for such an unusual condition. 3-73 lNXWdifibl NOil3lllO lNl~V TV3IWlH3 AI NOilJlS 1-0SL dW03IDIV ARRCOMP 750-1 M43 M229 M42 DETECTOR REMOTE ALARM REFILL KIT BA 3517 BATTERY POWER SUPPLY Figure 33 . Alarm Chemical Agent, Portable. 4-2 ARRCOMP 750-1 ALARM, CHEMICAL AGENT, AUTOMATIC: PORTABLE, MS Use: Each MS alarm system detects very low concentrations of chemical-agent vapors or inhalable aerosols and automatically signals the presence of chemical agents. Description: The MS alarm system consists of one M43 Detector, and one M42 Alarm. The MS alarm system may be supplemented by connecting up to four additional M42 Alarms. Within the M43 Detector, air is passed through an oxime solution surrounding a silver analytical electrode and a platinumreference electrode. Presence of agent causes a reaction in the solution which increases the potential between the electrodes. The change in potential, when amplified, triggers the alarm signal . The major components and associated equipment combine with the basic alarm system to form the ten alarm systems. The components and equipment are: MlO Power Supply, M22S High Profile Mount, M229 Refill Kit, BA 3517 Battery, MlS2 Low Profile Mount,and Mounting Bracket and installation kit. The M253 Winterization Kit consists of the two BB501/U Battery Assemblies and an Ml6S Cable Assembly. Recent reclassification action has deleted the MlO through MIS chemical agentalarm, leaving only the MS alarm. The following ARRCOM 2517002 May 82 message describes this reconfiguration and the proper procedures for updating records: UNCLAS SUBJ RECONFIGURATION OF THE CHEMICAL AGENT ALARM FAMILY MS AND M10 THROUGH M1S 1. RECENT RECLASSIFICATION ACTION ON SUBJECT ALARM HAS RESULTED IN THE ELIMINATION OF THE M10 THROUGH MIS CHEMICAL AGENT ALARM CONFIGURATIONS. THE ONE AND ONLY REMAINING ALARM IS THE MS CONFIGURATION, NSN 6665-00-935-6955 LIN A32060. 2. THIS ELIMINATION OF ALARM CONFIGURATIONS ALSO AFFECTS THE NUMBER OF COMPONENTS THAT MAKE UP THE MS END ITEM. THE NEW MS ALARM CONFIGURATION CONSISTS OF ONE M43 CHEMICAL AGENT DETECTOR (NSN 6665-00-S59-2201) AND ONE M42 REMOTE ALARM (NSN 6665-00-S59-2215).

Subject item, commonly called Filter Paddle, is the component of the M229 Refill Kit which causes the Refill Kit to expire after 2 years. The refill kit, in turn, is required to operate the M8, M10 through M18 Automatic Chemical Agent Alarms. Subject item is available from B14 and may be used to extend the life of the M229 Refill Kit an additional 2 years where liquid solution remains after filter paddle shelf life has been reached (original discard date shown on refill kit). Subject item is issued in a box (BX) of 30 filters. Two boxes are required to extend the life of a full refill kit. Subject item is ASF, with unit price of $52 .95 . Shelf life expires 2 yearsafter the manufacturing date which is stamped on each filter package. To extend the life of the kit, remove and locally dispose of all outdated filter paddles, and replace with new ones. Obliterate all discard dates from sleeves and drawers of the M229 Refill Kit, and restencil a new date, 2 years from date of manufacture, on the filter paddle. Since the solution is serviceable for 5 years, the above procedure may be used only one time. b. Some M229 chemical agent refill kits procured in calendar year 1983 may have a discard date stamped on the outside of the box, while others will not have a stamped discard date. An improved filter paper will make it possible to eliminate the shelf life requirement altogether, and kits containing the new filters will be procured in 1983. However, some kits delivered in 1983 will still have the old filter and therefore must have a discard date. Users are cautioned to honor the discard date if it is stamped on the outside of the box. If no discard date appears on the box, the kit does not have a shelf life and therefore no discard date. 4-13 ARRCOMP 750-1 M9 PAPER, CHEMICAL AGENT DETECTOR (NSN 6910-01-049-8982) This paper is gray-green in color and has an adhesive back. The adhesive back is protected by a white paper backing until dispensed from the roll. The paper is 2 inches (5 . 1 centimeters) wide and 30 feet (9.1 meters) long. Each roll is contained in a cardboard dispenser equipped with a cutter edge . The dispenser is packaged in a foil-type shipping bag. A resealable plastic storage bag is included for storing the dispenser after removal from the shipping bag. The detector paper will detect a chemical agent under all types of weather conditions. It is worn by an individual or attached to a vehicle or a piece of equipment. The detector paper indicates the presence of liquid chemical agent. When a liquid chemical agent touches the paper, a pink, red, red-brown, red-purple colored spot appears. The spot may be as small as a pin head or as large as a dime. The basis of issue will be shown in CTA 50-970. It will be used by all branches of the Service . The unit price if $5.11; unit of issue is RO (roll) . This item available 2d quarter 83. (Ms. M. Cato, DRSAR-MNN-C, ARRCOM, AUTOVON 793-5665/6607) PAPER, CHEMICAL AGENT DETECTOR, M9 (LAD) NSN 6910-01-049-8982 1. ITEM DESCRIPTION . The M9 detector paper consists of a roll of detection paper two inches wide by 30 feet in a long tear off type dispenser which is supplied with a resealable plastic bag and packed in a moisture vapor barrier bag. The complete weight of the item is seven ounces. The adhesive backed detector paper contains B-1 detector dye suspended in a pulp matrix. When it is contacted by droplets of a liquid chemical agent, the detector produces a contrasting color change from green to pink or red. 2 . USE . The soldier places the adhesive M9 detector paper around the wris~upper arm, and ankle and can be routinely placed on vehicles, equipment , and terrain surfaces for visual warning and monitoring for liquid chemical agent attack. CTA 50-970 provides for a usage rate of ten rolls per 1000 individuals per month. 3. STATUS. This item is "accepted for US Army use" and is now under product~It is exempt from type classification, because it is an expendable item. NBC MARKING SET, NSN 9905-12-124-5955 This item is now in the Army Master Data File (AMDF) and requisitions may be submitted through normal channels . This is an Army Stock Fund item with a unit cost of $100.00 each, and it should be available in the Nov-Dec 82 time frame. 4-14 ARRCOMP 750-1 This is a portable item containing markers on compact rolls to be used for indicating the locations of NBC contamination on the battlefield. There are 20 clearly marked (NATO standard markings) flags for nuclear, biological, and chemica l contamination. Poles and disposable reels of engineer tape are included. All are carried in a 19" x 14" x 3" container. Weight of the item is approximately 10 pounds. The NBC Marking Set is planned for issue at company level and will be used to mark contaminated areas on the battlefield after the areas have been identified . The NBC Marking Set does not provide a means of detecting the presence of contamination. The tapes and stakes included in the kit are used for displaying markers in open areas . 4-15 91-'7 XNV'III UTI l'I'IVNOI.I.N:UNI liDVd SIIU 1-0SL dWO:>IDIV ARRCOMP 750-1 SECTION IV CHEMICAL AGENT DETECTION EQUIPMENT F. REPORTED PROBLEMS FROM THE FIELD AND THEIR SOLUTIONS 4-17 ARRCOMP 750-1 ALARM, CHEMICAL AGENT, AUTOMATIC, PORTABLE PROBLEM: REMOTE BINDING POSTS -There is no replacement for the covers on the remote binding posts of the chemical agent alarm. The organization, however, discovered that the covers can be obtained through the communications group. SOLUTION OR ACT/RQMTS: Caps that will fit are used on the TA-1/PT telephone set. They can be ordered as CAP, NSN 5999-00-254-2243 . ALARM, CHEMICAL AGENT, AUTOMATIC, PORTABLE, M8 PROBLEM: ELECTRONIC MODULE -The Electronic Module Assembly (NSN 6665-00-400-5098) has twenty-three small connector pins that require precise alignment every time the module is inserted into its holder. The holder is too flexible to provide proper alignment. Even if extreme care is taken, misalignment fre quently occurs which result s in bent pins. The connectors should have some play and be able to "float," 11aking alignment less critical. SOLUTION OR ACT/RQMTS: The chassis (housing) into which the electronic module fits is grooved on each side so that the module is guided down and into the matching female connector. If this is done carefully, no problem should be encountered. Enough flexibility is provided to make the connection. If too much flexi bility is provided, the pins would be more easily bent . ALARM, CHEMICAL AGENT, AUTOMATIC, PORTABLE, M42 PROBLEM : INDICATOR LIGHT -The presence of a chemical agent is indicated by a light on the M42 Alarm (NSN 6665-00-859-2215) during night operations. This light is too bright and gives away the soldier's position. A dimmer light should be used . SOLUTION OR ACT/RQMTS : The primary purpose of the red indicator light on the M42 is to provide agent alert to troops under all weather conditions whi le operating in the "NORN OFF" mode. The M42 should be operated several hundred feet away from the detector, not within a few feet. If operated this way, there is less likelihood of a soldier's position being revealed. 4-18 ARRCOMP 750-1 ALARM, CHEMICAL AGENT, AUTOMATIC, PORTABLE PROBLEM: PUMP ASSEMBLY REPLACEMENT -The voltage regulator (NSN 6110-00-435-4212) fails and consequently the pump assembly will not function. The operatoris authorized to replace the entire pump (approximately cost $458) whereas the voltage regulator could be replaced for $64. It is suggested that the assembly be replaced at the DS level rather than at the organizational level by the operator because the operator does not have the test equipment to determine if the pump assembly or the voltage regulator is defective. SOLUTION OR ACT/RQMTS: Because THE PUMP ASSEMBLY IS NOT A DISPOSABLE MODULE it is not necessary for the operator to determine what part of it is malfunctioning . That is why the operator is authorized to remove the entire module and turn it in to the next higher level of maintenance where test equipment is available and the assembly can be repaired. PROBLEM: FLOW RATE METER -The M43 Detector (NSN 6665-00-859-2201) is mounted on the M151A2 Utility Truck. The flow rate meter (NSN 6680-00-136-1929) and rain shield assembly (NSN 6665-00-135-6200) are screwed into opposite ends of the detector handle and during training they vibrate loose, fall out, and are lost. The meter costs approximately $22.00 to replace . A wire clamp should be designed to snap over the end of the assembly to keep it and the rain shield in place . SOLUTION OR ACT/RQMTS : If the flow rate meter and rain shield are screwed tightly into the handle, no problem will occur. Recently (Jan-Feb 81), a 200 mile test was conducted at Fort Greely using M43 and M43El detectors mounted on an M113 APC and no problems were encountered. CHEMICAL AGENT ALARMS Recent reclassification action on subject alarm has resulted in the elimination of the MlO through M18 Chemical Agent Alarm configurations. The one and only remaining alarm is the M8 configuration, NSN 6665-00-935-6955, LIN A32060 . Authorization documents are being changed to reflect only the M8 alarm . This elimination of alarm configurations also affects the number of components that make up the M8 end item. The new M8 alarm configuration consists of one M43 Chemical Agent Detector (NSN 6665-00-859-2201) and one M42 Remote Alarm (NSN 6665-00-859-2215). All other items (i .e . , M229 Refill Kits, 4-19 ARRCOMP 750-1 M182 or M228 Mounting Kits, Installation Kits, Power Supplies, and Batteries) that were previously issued with the end item are now separate issue items and should be requisitioned separately. All these ancillary items are stock funded. However, issues of the alarm in its original configuration will continue until supplies are exhausted. These include items due in from current production which will not be repackaged at depot prior to issue. All new production will be IAW revised configuration. The reconfiguration of the M8 alarm and elimination of the M10 through M18 alarm configurations do not alter the basic concepts of backpack, fixed, and vehicle modes of operation. These are valid operational modes and will continue to be such. Under the new procedures, commanders will be authorized to i nstall the alarm in any mode they choose providing the necessary hardware is available. Current hardware exists for backpack, fixed, 1/4 ton, 1-1/2 ton, M113 APC, and the M114 command carrier. Installation kits are being designed for the Gamma Goat and the M1 Abrams Tank. No other vehicles can accept an alarm at this t i me and no attempt should be made to mount an alarm on any unauthorized vehi cles. To assure proper audit trail and property book accuracy, users are requested to prepare a DA Form 2408-9 (Equipment Control Record) on existing M10 through M18 alarms . (1) Block 7-List the existing model designation (i .e., M11, M15, etc.). (2) Block 8 -List the NSN of the existing model. (3) Block 9 -List the serial number of the existing model . (4) Block 16d -Place a check in t his block. (5) Block 17 -Place an "M" next to loss column. Prepare a second DA Form 2408-9 as follows: (1) Block 7 -MS. (2) Block 8-NSN of M8 alarm only (NSN 6665-00-935-6955) . (3) Block 9 -List the serial number of alarm logistically lost on DA Form 2408-9 above. (4) Block 16e -Place a check in t his column . (5) Block 17 -Place an "S" next t o gain column . Completed DA Form 2408-9 will be forwa r ded IAW paragraph 5-Bd, page 5·27 of TM 38-750, May 81. Unit property r ecords should be changed to reflect MB alarm. Questions concerning preparation of forms or installation of alarms may be directed to Mr . Paul French, AUTOVON 793-4764/4713 . 4-20 ARRCOMP 750-1 It should be further noted that production of the M8 Automatic Chemical Agent Alarm (ACAA), NSN 6665-00-935-6955, has been completed. The M8Al ACAA, designated as replacement for the M8, is being procured but will not be available for issue until 1985 . This represents a delay of more than 2 years in filling requirements . Users should continue to requisition alarms if authorized, but should be advised these requisitions will be placed on back order until Jan 85 or later. 4-21 ARRCOMP 7SO-l DETECTOR KI T, M2S6 SPOT DETECTION CAPAILITY -The M2S6 Det ector Kit (NSN 666S-01-016-8399) cannot be used for spot detection. Therefore, it can't be determined if an area has been decontaminated. The ABC-M8 Detector Paper in the kit cannot be used because it absorbs the DS-2 Decontaminating Agent and turns red, falsely indicating the presence of a blister agent. In an effort to solve the problem the unit places a coffee can over the M2S6 on the vehicle to concentrate the vapors, as described in TM 3-666S-307-10 . The MIS and Ml8 Detector Kits did have the spot detection capability but they were replaced by the M2S6 . SOLUTION: The M2S6 Detector Kit was not designed for detecting the adequacy of decon tamination of a vehicle. There is really no effective way to use the kit for this purpose. The kit was originally designed to tell the soldier when to remove the protective mask. The idea of using a coffee can or empty box (as described on page 2-3 of TM 3-666S-307-10) is for soil or absorbent materials, not metal surfaces. The MIS and Ml8 Detector Kits were replaced by the M2S6 Kit for field use. The Ml8 Kit, however, is being retained as an item of special issue for Depot use, Technical Escort, or other special units. STRAP RIVETS -The straps on the M2S6 Detector Kit (NSN 6665-01-016-8399) are stapled on. They pull off making t he kit unserviceable. The straps cannot be restapled. SOLUTION: The straps were originally put on with rivets which proved to be unsatisfactory. It was demonstrated through t esting that staples were an improvement over rivets. If the kit is worn attached to the web belt and the neck strap is used at the same time, the staples should not pull loose and the straps should last indefinitely. 4-22 I-S SWILL! fo\:i!H A NOI.L:J:iiS I-OSL dWO:>IDIV ARRCOMP 750-1 M43A l Detector NSN 6665-01-081-8140 Figure 37 . A. M43Al DETECTOR UNIT 1. PURPOSE -To update the State-Of-The-Art, to improve reliability, to reduce the amount of operator servicing required, and to reduce the logistics costs associated with the refill kit. 2. DESCRIPTION -The M43 Detector Unit will be redesigned based on a different detection concept: An ionization detector cell instead of the spont aneous electrolysis cell. This will eliminate the need to replace the solution reservoir assembly. PERSISTENT AGENT SIMULANT The Surgeon General has approved the use of polyethylene glycol (PEG-200) with water as a simulant for a persistent agent attack. The materiel can be used in decontaminating/ground decontaminating exercises. PEG-200 reacts with the M8 paper to give a positive G agent test . The UK Simulated Projectile, Airburst Liquid (SPAL) has recently been type classified for US Army use with PEG-200. The SPAL will be available FY 80 . In the meantime, PEG-200 may be utilized by spraying, for example, from an Mll Decontamination Apparatus . NSN for PEG-200 is 6810-01-074-9717; 55 gallon drum. 5-2 ARRCOMP 750-1 XM19 DETECTOR AND ALARM XM2 SAMPLER Figure 38 . B. Biological Detection and Warning System. The Biological Detection and Warning System (BDWS) being developed can detect and warn of the presense of extremely low concentrations of biological contaminants. The station senses airborne proteinaceous material typical of the bacteria or tissue culture which would be encountered during a biological warfare attack. Local and remote audible and visible alarms are activated when characteristics of the airborne material meet alarm criteri a. Whenever an alarm occurs a viable sample of the airborne material is automatically collected and stored under controlled conditions so that the material can undergo further lab analysis. The BDWS station consists of an XM19 alarm and XM2 sampler, an M42 remote alarm, a refill kit and ancillary equipment for mounting and interconnecting the equipment. 5-3 ARRCOMP 750-1 V£HICL£ ENGINE EXHAUST ~ SMOK£ SYSTEM I VE£SS l ~ m:liill ' "' Gil!ili!1 ( ,_,...Jl, "' ·-··· Figure 39 .

C. Vehicl e Engine Exhaust Smoke System. 5-5 ARRCOMP 750-1 VEHICLE ENGINE EXHAUST SMOKE SYSTEM (VEESS) The Vehicle Engine Exhaust Smoke System (VEESS) has evolved as a successful method of producing a screening smoke to improve the survivability of armored vehicles. The generated smoke screen is intended to be complimentary to the Rapid Smoke System (M239 and the M257 Smoke Grenade Launcher) by reinforcing and sustaining the smoke screen for an effective response in tactical offensive, defensive, and retrograde operations. The VEESS, however, can be used independently and still provide an effective screen. The smoke screens produced are effective against day optics, near IR, and image intensification (I2 ) devices. The VEESS, designed for the M60 MBT's and M88Al MRV Series vehicles, is an integral part of the engine and hull. The VEESS uses the same fuel, the same supply system, and the same electrical system. It is a fail-safe, low cost, highly reliable, engine smoke generating system that is driver activated and totally responsive at the flick of a switch. It is fabricated from common hardware and items already in the supply system. It is easy to install and is adaptable, with modifications, to other armored vehicles. The current kit consists of two solenoid valves with bracket, right and left tube assemblies, fuel hoses, manual shut-off valve, two tee con nectors, jumper lead assembly, wiring harness, indicator light, and safety switch assembly. In operation the solenoid valves are energized into the open position through the 24V DC Electrical System and a portion of the fuel supplying the engine is injected into the exhaust system where it is flash vaporized and exits with the engine exhaust gases. The fuel vapor is cooled on con tact with ambient air and condenses to form a dense, billowing, smoke screen. Current production costs for the kit are $375.00. Status Production M60A3 MBT's are coming off the tank assembly line at Warren, MI, equipped with VEESS. One thousand VEESS Kits have been procured for application in Europe. Initial shipments have been initiated. Installation should begin 3Qtr FYSO. Procurement action has been initiated for VEESS Kits for fielded M88Al MRV's . Production M88Al MRV's coming off the assembly line Jul 80 should be VEESS equipped. Development efforts have been initiated to adapt the VEESS to Short Range Air Defense (SHORAD) Vehicles, Vulcan-Chapparral. Application VEESS Kits are applicable to vehicles with AVDS-1790-2C/2D/2DR Rise Engi nes. 5-6 ARRCOMP 750-1 VEHICLE ENGINE EXHAUST SMOKE SYSTEM (VEESS)--Continued M60 Series VEESS Kit Engine and Hull Part No. 12290729 NSN 2815-01-076-9370 Engine Part No. 12275734 NSN 2815-01-066-8224 Hull Part No. 12290438 NSN 2815-01-076-9371 M88A1 VEESS Kit Engine Part No . 12275753 NSN 2815-01-077-7856 Hull Part No. 11672388 NSN 2590-01-K60-7085 5-7 ARRCOMP 750-1 D. M3A4 SMOKE GENERATOR 1 . PIP H1-80-08-3019 (RAM-D) will improve the reliability and reduce maintenance and spare parts cost of the M3A3 Smoke Generator appears to have accomplished all the redesign objectives of improvements : improve engine starting characteristics, and r educe overall system weight . The method of application for this product improvement will be at the depot level or at the contractor' s facility. Development testing is on schedule and procurement of the modification kits has been moved back two quarters with an estimated first delivery of 1st Qtr FY 84. 2 . PIP H1-80-08-7333 will change the concept for smoke production from stationary to generation from mobile platforms . Current planning includes requirements for using the carrier, personnel : full tracked, armored Mll3 vehicle; truck, utility quarter ton, 4x4 , M51 series and trailer cargo; quarter ton, 2 wheel, M416 as the mobile platforms . M3A4 Smoke Generator will be incorporated for these applications. E. XM52 SMOKE GENERATOR The XM52 Smoke Generator program is replacing the efforts on the XM49 Man-portable Smoke Generator. The XM52 will be based upon a turbine engine having the capability to disperse visual smoke and infra-red (IR) obscurants. T.O.E . 3-267 Chemical Company (Smoke Generator) will deploy the XMS2 . F . XM137 SI MULANT Dispenser and Chemical Agent, Simulant : Ground, XM137, is i ntended for use as a non-persistant chemical agent simulant . In chemical defense traini ng exercises, the container is opened and a line (75-85 meters long) sour ce i s poured upwind of target troops. The strength of the odor will force the use of individual and collective means at once. (Draft TM 3-6910-308-10, May 82.)

The term encompasses mutilation, scrapping, melting, burning, or alternation designed to prevent the further use of the equipment and material for its originally intended military or lethal purpose. (Burial or deep water dumping may be used when authorized.) Due to recent DOD emphasis on the demilitarization of Munition List Items, all items in the Army inventory are assigned demilitarization codes. The codes identify the type of demilitarization required before the item goes to the PDO or the type of demilitarization required to be performed at the PDO before sale. Items demilitarization coded "C" are to have demilitarization procedure published in the DOD Manual 4160. 21-M-1. Items demil coded "F" do not have published demil procedures and demil procedures/disposal instruction may be obtained by writing the item manager.

Painting, Camouflage Painting and Marking of Army Material lAW AR 750-58, 25 Feb 76, all new and depot overhauled chemical equipment is to be painted with Lusterless Forest Green, MIL-E-52798. Nonreflective markings will be lAW MIL-M-43719. Depot Maintenance Work Requirements (DMWRs) and Technical Data Packages (TDPs) are being changed to comply.

This polyurethane coating was developed jointly by the Coating and Chemical Laboratory, Aberdeen Proving Ground, MD, and Chemical Systems Laboratory (CSL). A Military Specification -MIL-C-4616A (MR) -was initially published in 1974; it has since been revised to include 11 camouflage colors and to have both spray and brush application capacity. Studies at CSL in the early 1970s determined that the standard Army alkyd paints absorb toxic chemical agents. As a result, these paints continue to desorb the agents at potentially capacitating levels for days after the surface liquid has evaporated . 7-4 ARRCOMP 750-1 CHEMICAL AGENT IMPERMEABLE PAINT--Continued The agent impermeable paint has superior weathering properties and resistance to abrasion and wear, hydrocarbon fluids, and water immersion . Although its cost is three to four times that of the alkyd paint, it is cost effective because of its increased useful life. Its most important advantages, however, are in the CW area: It is decontaminated faster by weathering than alkyd paints . Alkyd paints require a reactive decontaminant (DS2) for effective decontamination; urethane paints can be decontaminated to the same level by physical means (e .g., soap and water, water-based decontaminants) . Alkyd paints are removed by DS2; urethane paints are resistant. IMPLEMENTATION PLAN FOR NBC COLLECTIVE PROTECTION FOR ARMORED VEHICLES 1 . In Feb 78 DA submitted to Congress a plan of action that will be required to review the whole spectrum of NBC protection for armored vehicles . 2. Basically, the plan addresses the incorporation of an NBC protective system for all main battle tanks, mechanized infantry combat vehicles, armored personnel carriers, armored self-propelled artillery vehicles, armored self-propelled air defense artillery vehicles and other types of equipment such as vans and shelters associated with combat operations. 3. This plan, when initiated, will provide for: a. Improvement of the present ventilated facepiece (GPFU and Mask) system by the Product Improvement Proposal (PIP) Program. b. Development of a positive pressure system. c . Development of a hybrid NBC system, i.e., combination of the ventilated facepiece and the positive pressure system. d. Conduct evaluation and tests of all systems and compute costs. 4 . With Congressional interest behind it, this is an ambitious program that will require interface and cooperation of DA, DARCOM, and the major commands, from developer to the user level. 7-5 ARRCOMP 750-1 C.
