WARNING SUMMARY

This warning summary includes general safety precautions and instructions that must be understood and applied during the operation and maintenance of this system/equipment to ensure personnel against injury, death, or long-term health hazards. A summary of safety and hazardous material warnings that should be heeded in conduct of operation and maintenance is provided below. W ARNING When attaching the power cable assembly to the AR2, always verify proper engagement of ball end of power cable with piston rod of AR2 by looking through transparent plastic cable seal retainer. Cable seal retainer and power cable seal must be present to ensure seating of power cable ball. If ball is not engaged with piston rod, or if cable seal retainer is missing, actuation of AR2 will fail to pull ripcord pins, which may result in death of parachutist. W ARNING If there is any indication of a leak in the aneroid, remove the AR2 from service. A leaking aneroid may cause a malfunction which may result in death of parachutist. W ARNING The altitude dial indicates thousands of feet above mean sea level (not above ground level). If the altitude dial is incorrectly set, two parachutes may deploy and become entangled, which may result in death of parachutist. W ARNING Do not move the JUMP/OFF switch to jump unless the (equivalent pressure altitude inside the) aircraft is at least 1,500 feet above the altitude set on the dial. It is imperative that the AR2 remains well above its actuation altitude at all times after the jump/off switch has been moved to jump. If there is a temporary reduction in aircraft altitude, and the AR2 switch is not recycled back to jump after again rising above the actuation altitude, the AR2 will actuate prematurely during the jump, possibly causing deployment of two parachutes which may become entangled, which may result in death of parachutist. W ARNING When the AR2 is used on the reserve parachute, the main parachute must be activated at an altitude high enough to obtain a fully deployed canopy at least 1,500 feet above the actuation altitude for the AR2. If the main parachute opens within only a few hundred feet of the AR2 actuation altitude, the AR2 may deploy the reserve parachute. The two parachutes may become entangled, which may result in death of parachutist.

TM 10-1670-305-23&P

W ARNING The JUMP/OFF switch must be set to OFF immediately after every jump. Setting the JUMP/OFF switch to OFF repositions the mechanism for the next jump and prevents inadvertent actuation on the ground or during transport. If the switch is left in JUMP position, the next jump will cause the AR2 to actuate prematurely. Two parachutes may deploy and become entangled, which may result in death of parachutist. W ARNING Model 452 test chamber and carrying case weighs 70 lbs. The mounting base with attached components weighs 50 lbs. Use two persons or lifting device when lifting to prevent injury to personnel. W ARNING Model 453 test chamber and carrying case weighs 60 lbs. The mounting base with attached components weighs 42 lbs. Use two persons or lifting device when lifting to prevent injury to personnel. W ARNING The heads of the air compressor and vacuum pump become hot with use and can cause burns to unprotected skin. Do not touch these components during operation or until they have been allowed to cool down after the test chamber has been switched off. W ARNING Do not move CLIMB/FALL/COCK switch on test chamber to cock unless AR2 JUMP/OFF switch is in the fully OFF position. Attempting to cock the mechanism with the switch in an intermediate position may damage internal components and render the AR2 inoperative. This will prevent deployment of a parachute and may result in death of parachutist. W ARNING If malfunctions of the rate of fall mechanism occur, or if actuation altitude deviates from the dial setting by more than the prescribed tolerance, a malfunction may occur, which may result in death of parachutist. W ARNING Do not open or remove screws of AR2 housing. No internal maintenance is authorized. Unauthorized disassembly may cause a malfunction which may result in death of parachutist. W ARNING The power housing (outer flexible metal casing) must be inspected for looseness between its convolutions. Looseness indicates either damage or a loss of interference fit between the outer housing and teflon liner, which maintains the housing length. Changes in housing length will affect the pulling stroke of the AR2 and could result in incomplete extraction of ripcord pins, which may result in death of parachutist. b

TM 10-1670-305-23&P

W ARNING Make sure the jump and off decals are replaced on the correct sides of the switch lever. Incorrectly placed decals will give a false indication of AR2 condition and may result in death of parachutist if the AR2 is used in a jump. W ARNING Be sure test chamber is disconnected from 110 VAC power before beginning disassembly to prevent injury to personnel.

AUTOMATIC RIPCORD RELEASE, MODEL 451 THEORY OF OPERATION

0004 00

The AR2 senses rate of fall and altitude above mean sea level (not above ground level). When the AR2 falls through the altitude set on the altitude dial at a rate of fall of over 80 ft/sec, the power cable will retract two inches (minimum) and at an initial force of 70 pounds. If the rate of fall is at a slower speed, such as 70 ft/sec, the AR2 will not actuate. When the AR2 is used on the reserve parachute, the main parachute must be fully deployed at least 1,500 feet above the actuation altitude for the AR2. While in free fall, if the main parachute opens within only a few hundred feet above the actuation altitude, the fall rate mechanism may not have sufficient time to equalize pressure and deactivate. This could result in the deployment of two parachutes, leading to problems associated therewith. If the fall is initiated below the altitude set on the altitude dial, the AR2 will definitely actuate, and generally within 1,000 feet of free fall.

TEST CHAMBER ASSEMBLY THEORY OF OPERATION THEORY OF OPERATION (MODEL 452)

0005 00

The test chamber components are arranged according to the schematic diagram. The air compressor supplies compressed air at 40 PSI. It is used to cock the AR2 being tested and provides controlled air pressure to the altitude chamber. The rate at which air is introduced into the altitude chamber controls the simulated rate-of-fall of the AR2. When in operation, if the air solenoid valve is opened by positioning the CLIMB/FALL/COCK switch to COCK, compressed air flows into the air cylinder and forces the piston to the right. This will cock the AR2. When the CLIMB/FALL/COCK switch is moved from the COCK position a vent in the solenoid valve allows the compressed air behind the piston to bleed off, thus enabling the AR2 to actuate under the appropriate conditions. Compressed air is also available to the PRESSURE CONTROL regulator, which controls the rate at which air is introduced into the altitude chamber. Outlet pressure from the PRESSURE CONTROL regulator is registered on the pressure (PSI) gauge. Air thus regulated passes through a restrictor and on into the altitude chamber. By controlling the pressure, the simulated rate of fall of the AR2 may be varied. The vacuum pump is connected to the altitude chamber through the ALTITUDE CONTROL regulator, which allows selection of any desired altitude up to 35,000 feet. When the CLIMB/FALL/COCK switch is moved to the CLIMB position, the climb solenoid valve opens. Turning the ALTITUDE CONTROL regulator knob allows selection of the desired altitude. Turning the knob counterclockwise will increase altitude. When the CLIMB/FALL/COCK switch is moved to the FALL position, the climb solenoid valve closes and the restrictor in the line from the PRESSURE CONTROL regulator allows controlled air pressure to enter the altitude chamber, causing the altitude to gradually decrease. The RAPID FALL dump switch (push button) controls the dump solenoid valve. When the RAPID FALL dump switch is pressed the dump solenoid valve opens, and air from the compressor is introduced directly into the altitude chamber for rapid descent. The ON/OFF switch controls power to both the air compressor and vacuum pump. When the air compressor and vacuum pump are running, the indicator light will illuminate. It will extinguish when the ON/OFF switch is positioned to OFF.

The AR2 is installed inside the transparent altitude chamber during testing. The JUMP/OFF switch and piston rod of the AR2 engage fittings inside the chamber which enable the switch to be operated and the AR2 to be recocked after actuation without opening the chamber lid or returning the unit to ground level. The ON and OFF position of the JUMP/OFF switch are electrically monitored by magnetic sensors in the bottom wall of the chamber. An infrared LED emitter/detector switch mounted inside the air cylinder senses movement of the piston rod assembly at the instant the AR2 actuates. Signals from these sensors are transmitted to the control assembly through an electrical connector in the left side wall of the control assembly near the front. The combination vacuum pump/air compressor enables the operator to raise and lower the air pressure inside the sealed altitude chamber and thereby simulate the entire functional altitude range of the AR2. The compressor also provides regulated pressure to the air cylinder to cock the mechanism of the AR2. The necessary pneumatic plumbing connections between the pump/compressor unit, control assembly, and altitude chamber are located along the bottom left side wall of the control assembly. Power for the pump/compressor is supplied through a separate electrical connector, also located in the left side wall of the control housing. Routing and connections for all external electrical wiring and pneumatic plumbing are shown in schematics. The control assembly is a self-contained, independently calibrated, completely interchangeable modular unit. It contains a precision calibrated pressure sensor, a printed circuit board incorporating signal conditioning and complete system operating logic, digital displays which feature a preprogrammed microprocessor for making pressure-to-altitude conversion, pneumatic valve and regulators to control altitude, regulated power supplies to run associated electronic circuits and devices, and operational controls and indicator lights to perform and monitor the various test functions. A quick disconnect port is located in the front wall of the control assembly to permit attachment of a precision pressure standard during periodic altimeter calibration. A separate auxiliary chamber used for calibrating wrist altimeters may also be connected through this port. WP 0007 00 shows the configuration of the control panel. The altitude and fall rate displays are placed at the upper left with their respective setting controls at the right. The chamber can simulate altitudes greater than 35,000 feet MSL. The fall rate may be set to any value between approximately 10 and 240 feet per second, except that rates between 65 and 85 feet per second cannot be selected because actuation at these rates will cause increased wear to internal components of the AR2. The altitude display reads to the nearest foot, and the fall rate display reads to the nearest 0.1 foot per second with positive values indicating a descent and negative values indicating a climb. Although the displays are updated approximately two times per second, the internal circuitry of the altimeter is designed to instantaneously capture and hold the pressure sensor signal as soon as piston rod movement is detected by the infrared switch. The altitude corresponding to this pressure is then locked in and displayed as the actuation altitude at the next update interval. Six (6) push button controls and seven (7) indicator lights are located on the control panel. In addition to their primary functions, several of the controls are provided with interlocking logic circuitry to preclude operations which are out of sequence or which might damage the AR2. The description and function of the controls and lights are summarized in WP 0007 00.

Operates AR2 automatic ripcord release JUMP/OFF switch when AR2 is enclosed in altitude chamber. Allows access to altitude chamber. Aligns AR2 and altitude chamber piston rod. Use to set altitude in test chamber. Use to set fall rate. Blinks continuously while the chamber is gaining altitude and during the time while the AR2 is stabilizing. When sufficient time at altitude has elapsed, the indicator will stop blinking and remain steadily illuminated, signifying that the test may be initiated. The indicator goes out when a valid FALL command is given. Pressing this switch causes the chamber to climb to the set altitude. As this altitude is reached, the fall-rate value will decrease to zero. The switch will function with the chamber vented, but the chamber will not be able to gain altitude until the DUMP circuit is disengaged. Becomes steadily illuminated when a valid FALL command is given. It remains illuminated while the test is in progress and after the AR2 actuates. It extinguishes when the GO TO ALTITUDE AND DWELL control is pressed. Pressing this switch initiates the test. Because of interlocks built into the system, however, the switch will not function unless the AR2 has been recocked, the displays have been reset, sufficient dwell time at altitude has elapsed, the Jump switch has been set to ON and no other indicators are blinking or illuminated except the JUMP SWITCH ON indicator. Depressing and holding this switch recocks the AR2 after an actuation. Its function may be verified by observing the movement of the piston rod through the lid of the altitude chamber. Interlocks in the system prevent this switch from functioning unless the AR2 is in the actuated condition and the JUMP/OFF switch is set to OFF. This indicator remains steadily illuminated whenever the AR2 JUMP/OFF switch is in the fully OFF position.

This indicator remains steadily illuminated whenever the AR2 JUMP/OFF switch is in the fully JUMP position. Its color, green, matches that on the AR2 JUMP/OFF switch and signifies that the AR2 is prepared for the test. The FALL switch will not function unless this indicator is illuminated. Once the fall has been initiated, however, the JUMP/OFF switch may be returned to the OFF position without affecting the test. The AR2 will not actuate with the JUMP/OFF switch OFF. When this switch is depressed, the displays show the altitude and fall rate to which the chamber has been adjusted. As long as the button is held down, the values displayed on the meters are the set values. When the button is released, the meters display the presently existing chamber conditions. This switch will function at any time (even during a fall) except when the displays are locked. This indicator blinks continuously only while the HOLD DOWN TO SET switch is depressed. Pressing this switch vents the chamber to rapidly return to ambient altitude. This switch has a latching mechanism which keeps it locked in the on (CHAMBER VENTED) position until it is pressed again. This indicator blinks continuously whenever the DUMP circuit is engaged. This switch clears the values locked into the displays from the previous actuation. To prevent inadvertent loss of data, the switch will not function until after the AR2 has been recocked. This indicator becomes illuminated at the instant the AR2 actuates and blinks continuously while the displays are in the locked condition. It goes out when the RESET DISPLAYS switch is pressed, provided the correct conditions are present to reset the meters. This indicator displays fall rate. This indicator displays altitude.

ASSEMBLY AND PREPARATION FOR USE CONT (6) Secure cord ends to cord length with three alternating half-hitches and an overhand knot in each tie end. 3. Maintenance Log Record shall be maintained for each AR2 placed in service. If an AR2 has been upgraded to ECP 8 or upgraded to ECP 13 or is overhauled and put back into service, a new Jump Log Record shall replace the original one and be maintained for the AR2. Upgrades to ECP 8 and ECP 13 and overhauls are identified on the AR2's "service record" decal. Refer to additional FMCS, WP 0018 00. a. Test results must be recorded on the local form (reproducible) contained in WP 0042 00. There is room on each form for three (3) test series. The interval between tests may be determined by the number of jumps (50) or by time since the last test (120 days), whichever comes first, or if there is a possibility that the AR2 was damaged or malfunctioned. b. Record Information as follows: (1) Record the AR2 serial number and date placed in service in the assigned spaces. If the date placed in service is more than 3 years after the date of manufacture (new unit) or more than 3 years after the date of upgrade to ECP 8 or date of upgrade to ECP 13 or date of overhaul, record that date directly above the date placed in service. In such cases, 7 years from that date placed into service, the AR2 is to be taken out of service and returned to the manufacturer for overhaul (instead of 4 years from the date the new AR2 was put into service). (2) Record the date of the test and the cumulative number of jumps in the assigned blocks. The cumulative number of jumps is determined by taking the number of jumps since the last test (obtained from the Jump Log Record) and adding this number to the previous cumulative number of jumps. Note that when the unit is first placed into service, the cumulative number of jumps will be zero. (3) Enter the result of each test in the assigned space as the test is completed. If tests are repeated for any reason, such as an error in test procedure, record only the final result, but be sure to also record the total number of actuations. (4) Enter the cumulative number of actuations in the assigned block. The cumulative number of actuations is determined by adding the number of actuations in the just completed test, together with any actuation noted in the Jump Log Record since the last test, to the previous cumulative number of actuations. Note that when the unit is first placed into service, the cumulative number of actuations will be the total number of actuations completed in the In-Service test. (5) Note any unusual occurrences or conditions in the remarks space. (6) Enter the date and signature of the tester in the assigned spaces. 4. Installation of the AR2.

Detailed instructions for installation of the AR2, AR2 pocket, and power cable assemblies are given in TM 10-1670-287-23&P or service specific parachute packing manual. OPERATING PROCEDURES CAUTION The power cable and power housing must be inspected if the AR2 was actuated prior to preparation for operation. 1. Perform pre-operational FMCS procedures before operating the AR2 (WP 0018 00). 2. Verify that the JUMP/OFF switch is in OFF position and that AR2 has been cocked at installation. WARNING If there is any indication of a leak in the aneroid, remove the AR2 from service. A leaking aneroid may cause a malfunction, which may result in death of parachutist. Check the AR2s for aneroid leakage at ground level before every jump. The yellow indicator should indicate the local ground altitude when the altitude dial is set to an altitude at least 3,000 feet above the local altitude. Example: If local ground elevation is 500 feet above mean sea level, and the altitude dial is set at 3,500 feet or above, the yellow indicator should be approximately half way between the mean sea level mark and the 1,000-feet mark. If there is a leak in the aneroid, the yellow indicator will show some altitude above 500 feet, such as 2,000 or 3,000 feet or higher.

Note: Original issue AR2s have graduations between sea level and 6,000 feet only. Figure 2. Aneroid Leak Indicator Window (ECP-8/ECP-13 Upgrade Version).

The altitude dial indicates thousands of feet above mean sea level (not above ground level). If altitude dial is incorrectly set, two parachutes may deploy and become entangled, which may result in death of parachutist.

3. Before jumping, verify that altitude dial is set at desired setting. WARNING Do not move the JUMP/OFF switch to jump unless the equivalent pressure altitude inside the aircraft is at least 1,500 feet above the altitude set on the dial. It is imperative that the AR2 remains well above its actuation altitude at all times after the jump/off switch has been moved to jump. If there is a temporary reduction in aircraft altitude, and the AR2 switch is not recycled back to jump after again rising above the actuation altitude, the AR2 will actuate prematurely during the jump, possibly causing deployment of two parachutes which may become entangled, which may result in death of parachutist. CAUTION Move the JUMP/OFF switch between the two detent positions only. Do not force the switch past either detent position. This may damage the internal mechanism of the AR2 and cause a malfunction. NOTE If the dial setting must be changed in flight set the AR2 JUMP/OFF switch to OFF and reset the dial. Do not set the JUMP/OFF switch back to JUMP until the equivalent pressure altitude inside the aircraft is at least 1,500 feet above the new altitude dial setting. 4. Move JUMP/OFF switch to JUMP. Verify that switch is all the way over to detent position.

When the AR2 is used on the reserve parachute, the main parachute must be activated at an altitude high enough to obtain a fully deployed canopy at least 1,500 feet above the actuation altitude for the AR2. If the main parachute opens within only a few hundred feet of the AR2 actuation attitude, the AR2 may deploy the reserve parachute. The two parachutes may become entangled, which may result in death of parachutist. WARNING The JUMP/OFF switch must be set to OFF immediately after every jump. Setting the JUMP/OFF switch to OFF repositions the mechanism for the next jump and prevents inadvertent actuation on the ground or during transport. if the switch is left in JUMP position, the next jump will cause the AR2 to actuate prematurely. Two parachutes may deploy and become entangled, which may result in death of parachutist. 5. After completing the jump, move the JUMP/OFF switch to OFF. Verify that switch is in the detent position. 6. With the JUMP/OFF switch in the OFF position, prepare the AR2 for the next jump by repeating steps 1 through 4. 7. After every jump and /or repack of the main chute the rigger is to inspect cable extension length with the slack checker as follows:

d. Refer to Figure 4. Grasp the slack checker with the right hand, palm down, and

with the thumb pressed into the curved recess. Grasp the swaged section of the ripcord pin with left hand. Simultaneously rotate the slack checker and ripcord pin in the directions shown by the arrows. Hold the ripcord pin with the left hand in a fixed position when it becomes horizontally aligned.
e. Apply force as necessary to rotate the slack checker until all of the slack in the

power cable has been taken up. Ensure that the pin does not slip out of the closing loop of the parachute. Note the position of the swaged end of the power cable eye with respect to the index surface on the slack checker: (1) Refer to Figure 5. If the power cable assembly is correctly routed and installed, and has not been damaged, the end of the eye should not extend past the index surface.

WARNING Any amount of extension past the index surface may mean the ripcord pins will not be pulled, which may result in death of parachutist. (2) Refer to Figure 6. If the end of the eye does extend past the index surface, then something is wrong with the cable routing, or the power housing (conduit) may be damaged. The power cable assembly should be removed from service immediately. The rigger shall record satisfactory completion of inspection with the slack checker in the main parachute log record book (DA Form 3912).

2. Verify that ON/OFF switch (5) of the test chamber is in OFF position and CLIMB/FALL/COCK switch (8) in FALL position (centered). 3. Plug power cord (16) into 110 VAC outlet. NOTE Record test data on maintenance log (WP 0042 00). CAUTION To avoid damaging the test chamber do not switch the test chamber on/off switch to on while the air compressor or vacuum pump is under load (while the altitude chamber is under vacuum or the air cylinder is pressurized). If it has recently been used, wait one to two minutes for pressure trapped in the system to bleed off. 4. Position ON/OFF switch (5) on test chamber to ON. The indicator light (6) will illuminate, and the air compressor and vacuum pump will start. When switching the test chamber ON, immediately look under the transparent altitude chamber at the ends of both air compressor and vacuum pump to ensure that the cooling fans are spinning on both units. If either fan is not spinning, immediately cycle the CLIMB/FALL/COCK switch (8) between FALL and COCK until the fans spin. Move the CLIMB/FALL/COCK switch (8) on test chamber to CLIMB position and adjust the altitude control regulator (14) to an altitude of 6,500 feet. NOTE Pressure vs. rate of fall varies greatly with altitude; as altitude increases, the rate of fall will also increase for a given pressure reading on the gauge. To be sure of the exact rate of fall, always check it with a stop watch over the 1,000-foot interval from 500 feet above to 500 feet below the dial setting of the AR2. NOTE Check pressure vs. rate of fall values shown on FUNCTIONS decal once each hour with a stop watch to verify accuracy. These checks should be conducted between 6,000 and 5,000 feet simulated altitude with a barometric pressure adjustment of 29.92 on the altimeter. Values shown on the FUNCTIONS decal correspond approximately to rate of fall indicated thereon. The AR2 rate-of-fall mechanism senses rate of pressure change (PSI/sec), which corresponds to its rate of fall. To obtain correct rate-of-fall data, always install an AR2 in the altitude chamber before testing. NOTE It is not necessary to wait for the AR2 to stabilize since these checks do not result in actuation.

Ensure that compression nuts are hand tight and that the altitude chamber gasket is not damaged. DO NOT USE WRENCHES. If the chamber still does not maintain altitude, send it back to depot for repair. 6. Move the CLIMB/FALL/COCK switch (8) on the test chamber to FALL position. Verify that the altitude reading remains at 6,500 feet or that it falls less than 100 feet in ten seconds. 7. Move the CLIMB/FALL/COCK switch (8) to CLIMB. 8. Turn the PRESSURE CONTROL regulator (10) on the test chamber clockwise to obtain 15 PSI on the PRESSURE GAGE (11). 9. Move the CLIMB/FALL/COCK switch (8) on the test chamber to FALL and, using a stopwatch, record the time it takes for the altimeter to fall from 6,000 to 5,000 feet. 10. Calculate the rate of fall in ft/sec by dividing 1,000 by the stopwatch time. Using an erasable marker, soft pencil, or other suitable instrument, transfer the pressure value from the PRESSURE GAGE (11) and the rate of fall to the appropriate spaces on the FUNCTIONS decal (9) on the test chamber. 11. Move the CLIMB/FALL/COCK switch (8) to CLIMB. 12. Change the reading on the PRESSURE GAGE (11) to a higher or lower value as required. 13. Repeat steps 9 through 12 as required to obtain rate of fall information within the desired range. CAUTION To protect altimeter from damage, do not press rapid fall dump switch at altitudes greater than 25,000 feet. 14. Move CLIMB/FALL/COCK switch (8) to FALL, and increase pressure in altitude chamber to ambient by holding down on RAPID FALL DUMP switch (7). 15. Position test chamber ON/OFF switch (5) to OFF. 16.

WARNING If there is any indication of a leak in the aneroid, remove the AR2 from service. A leaking aneroid may cause a malfunction which may result in death of parachutist. 2. Check the AR2 for aneroid leakage at ground level before testing (WP 0008). NOTE Ensure that the AR2 is cocked and the piston rod cap is removed before performing test procedure. 3. Set AR2 attitude dial to 5,500 feet. 4. Install AR2 in the test chamber (Refer to initial adjustments before use). CAUTION To avoid damage to test chamber do not switch it on while the air compressor or vacuum pump is under load (while the altitude chamber is under vacuum or the air cylinder is pressurized). If it has recently been used, wait one to two minutes for pressure trapped in the system to bleed off. 5. Switch ON the test chamber. The indicator light (6) will illuminate, and the air compressor and vacuum pump will start.

6. Move the CLIMB/FALL/COCK switch (8) on test chamber to COCK for two seconds. Since the AR2 is already cocked, nothing will happen. On subsequent tests, after actuating the test unit, it will be necessary to recock the test unit by moving the CLIMB/FALL/COCK switch (8) to COCK. CAUTION Climb rates or fall rates greater than 833 ft/sec may cause damage to the altimeter. NOTE When conducting tests with AR2 dial settings greater than 15,000 feet, increase the wait time from 30 or more seconds to 40 or more seconds once the desired altitude is reached. Inadequate wait time can result in erroneous test results. 7. Move the CLIMB/FALL/COCK switch (8) on test chamber to CLIMB position. Adjust the pressure control regulator (14) on the test chamber to the desired altitude as observed on the altimeter (4). This altitude should be at least 2,000 feet above the altitude set on the altitude dial (refer to step 3). Once the desired altitude is reached, wait 30 or more seconds for the unit to stabilize. This allows pressure trapped in the rate-of-fall sensing chamber of the AR2 to bleed off so that it comes to the same pressure as the surrounding environment. This will allow the rate of fall mechanism to function properly. CAUTION Do not select a rate of fall between 65 and 85 ft/sec. Repeated testing between these values will cause excessive wear to the rate-of-fall mechanism of the AR2 and result in malfunctions. NOTE The barometric pressure adjustment setting on the altimeter on the test chamber shall always remain at 29.92 to assure correct readings of altitude with respect to mean sea level. NOTE Values shown on FUNCTIONS decal on test chamber correspond approximately to rates of fall indicated thereon. The exact rate of fall during testing should always be determined with the aid of a stop watch. 8. Turn the PRESSURE CONTROL regulator (10) on the test chamber console to adjust the rate of pressure increase inside the altitude test chamber. Adjust pressure as observed on the pressure (PSI) gage (11) of the test chamber to a pressure corresponding to a rate of fall of 85 to 90 ft/sec. The rate of fall should be established between 6,000 and 5,000 feet.

0011 00

If the test facility is located at high altitude, it may be necessary to conduct tests of the AR2 with dial settings lower than the elevation of the test site. Under such conditions, the pressure inside the altitude chamber will be greater than that outside, and the lid will not stay closed since it has no locks or latches. Nevertheless, testing may be conducted by clamping the lid shut using two standard C-clamps with a 6-inch opening capacity and a throat depth of approximately 3.5 inches. Care must be taken, however, to avoid clamping the lid too tightly. Use the following procedure to obtain the proper clamping force: a. Install the AR2 to be tested in the altitude chamber (refer to WP 0009 00). Close the altitude chamber lid. b. Select an altitude approximately 15,000 feet higher than the test site elevation and cause the chamber to climb to that altitude. This will fully compress the altitude chamber gasket. CAUTION Be sure to clamp only the main body of the chamber. c. Position the C-clamps as shown, using small pads of cardboard, cloth, or rubber to prevent marring the surfaces of the altitude chamber. Do not clamp fittings, tubing, or any other parts of the chamber which may be damaged. d. Tighten the clamps using only enough force to keep them from slipping or moving around on the altitude chamber lid. WARNING Do not allow the altitude to fall below 0 feet MSL when the altitude chamber is clamped. Doing so will damage the AAU-31/A altimeter and build up a dangerous level of pressure inside the altitude chamber, which may rupture and cause serious injury to personnel.

2.

3. Any test altitude may now be selected and testing conducted (refer to WP 0009 00). The clamps will prevent the lid from lifting, regardless of the internal pressure. 4. Since the chamber must be opened to change the AR2 dial setting, installing and removing the clamps will slow the testing process. Employ them only when low altitudes can not be reached using normal test procedures.

3. Use a screwdriver or other suitable tool, inserted through eye of power cable to form a Thandle. Secure AR2. Pull eye of power cable until the AR2 mechanism reaches the cocked position and power cable remains extended from power housing (requires approximately 70 pounds pull). 4. Unscrew power housing retainer from spring housing and remove power cable assembly by disengaging ball of power cable from piston rod. Attach storage cable and piston rod cap to AR2 INSPECTION OF POWER CABLE ASSEMBLY PRIOR TO DISSASSEMBLY 1. Shift power cable back and forth inside power housing as far as possible to expose both ends of cable. 2. Visually inspect the exposed portion of power cable for fraying. Any fraying or broken strands of wire indicate a defective power cable, which must be replaced. 3. Move power cable back and forth within power housing. A slight drag due to power cable seal is normal, but the cable should move smoothly and not bind. If there is any doubt as to the smoothness of motion, disassemble the power cable assembly and inspect all parts for wear or damage. Replace any defective parts, including, if necessary, power housing. WARNING The power housing (outer flexible metal casing) must be inspected for looseness between its convolutions. Looseness indicates either damage or a loss of interference fit between the outer housing and teflon liner, which maintains the housing length. Changes in housing length will affect the pulling stroke of the AR2 and could result in incomplete extraction of ripcord pins. 4. Grasp the outer flexible metal housing casing with both hands, thumbs pointing toward each other. Hold the housing firmly by pinching between thumbs and fingers. Placement of thumbs should be two to three inches apart, allowing clear visibility of the casing between thumbs. 5. Alternately push and pull the housing by applying approximately 10 pounds of force. Convolutions must not move relative to each other, but be careful not to mistake small changes in hand position caused by the pushing and pulling action for movement of the convolutions. Casing should look and feel solid, indicating no movement between convolutions. 6. Relocate the hand position and apply the procedure at four-inch to six-inch intervals over the entire length of the power housing. Verify that no movement between the casing convolutions exists. Any relative movement of the housing convolutions indicates a defective power housing, which must be replaced.

This adjustment is performed in response to a reported defect from user level. The following procedure is used to correct an out of tolerance condition between the set fall rate and the actual measured rate. The difference between the set and displayed rates cannot be affected by adjustment. NOTE All four fall rate combinations; high altitude-high fall rate, high altitude-low fall rate, low altitude-high fall rate, and low altitude-low fall rate, must be evaluated together because adjustment of any one of them affects the entire range. Correct adjustment should bring all of the actual measured rates within r 2 ft/sec of their respective set values. If this cannot be done, the Control Assembly is defective and must be replaced. 1. Perform fall rate selector accuracy test (refer to WP 0010 00) to determine at which condition(s) the fall rate is out of tolerance. It is not necessary to place an AR2 in the altitude chamber for this test, and the JUMP/OFF switch may be left in the JUMP position. 2. Open cover plate on back of control housing. Turn RATE SET resistor screw to adjust the fall rate (One half turn of the screw in the clockwise direction will lower the actual fall rate by approximately one ft/sec. The set rate is not affected by the adjustment. There is some backlash in the movement of the screw; turning past the desired position and coming back to it may be beneficial). 3. Verify that the actual fall rates are within tolerance at all four conditions. 4. Reassemble cover plate and affix calibration sticker to prevent tampering.

INTRODUCTION
THE ARMY MAINTENANCE SYSTEM MAC This introduction provides a general explanation of all maintenance and repair functions authorized at the two maintenance levels under the Two-Level Maintenance System concept. This MAC (immediately following the introduction) designates overall authority and responsibility for the performance of maintenance functions on the identified end item or component. The application of the maintenance functions to the end item or component levels, which are shown on the MAC in column (4) as: Field - includes two columns, Unit Maintenance and Direct Support maintenance. The Unit maintenance column is divided again into two more subcolumns, C for Operator or Crew and O for Unit maintenance. Sustainment includes two subcolumns, general support (H) and depot (D). The tools and test equipment requirements (immediately following the MAC) list the tools and test equipment (both special tools and common tool sets) required for each maintenance function as referenced from the MAC. The remarks (immediately following the tools and test equipment requirements) contain supplemental instructions and explanatory notes for a particular maintenance function. MAINTENANCE FUNCTIONS Maintenance functions will be limited to and are defined as follows: 1. Inspect. To determine the serviceability of an item by comparing its physical, mechanical, and/or electrical characteristics with established standards through examination (e.g., by sight, sound, or feel.) This includes scheduled inspection and gagings and evaluation of cannon tubes. 2. Test. To verify serviceability by measuring the mechanical, pneumatic, hydraulic, or electrical characteristics of an item and comparing those characteristics with prescribed standards on a scheduled basis, i.e., load testing of lift devices and hydrostatic testing of pressure hoses. 3. Service. Operations required periodically to keep an item in proper operating condition; e.g., to clean (includes decontaminate, when required), to preserve, to drain, to paint, or to replenish fuel, lubricants, chemical fluids, or gases.

Liberated Manuals -- free army and government manuals

Why do I do it? I am tired of sleazy CD-ROM sellers, who take publicly available information, slap watermarks and other junk on it, and sell it. Those masters of search engine manipulation make sure that their sites that sell free information, come up first in search engines. They did not create it... They did not even scan it... Why should they get your money? Why are not letting you give those free manuals to your friends? I am setting this document FREE. This document was made by the US Government and is NOT protected by Copyright. Feel free to share, republish, sell and so on. I am not asking you for donations, fees or handouts. If you can, please provide a link to liberatedmanuals.com, so that free manuals come up first in search engines:
