Here’s how you put it together:
Start with 50 feet of cable. Connect the black and red
wires of the new cable to pin B (+) of the GDU cable connector.
Before closing the plug connector, add some wire straps for strain
relief on the end of the new cable and apply RTV compound for a good weather
seal.
Then connect the green and white wires to pin A (–).
On the other end of the 50-ft cable, connect the black and red wires to the
positive (+) terminal and the green and white wires to the negative (–) terminal.
Now you can hook up directly to a vehicle that has a NATO slave receptacle.
If you’re hooking
up to a vehicle that
doesn’t have a
NATO receptacle,
use the adapter.
And remember,
when you’re done,
disconnect the
hookup at the power
source first. That’ll
prevent a shock or a
sparking short circuit.

issing a few acoustical suppression kit (ASK) parts on your generator
because you don’t have a stock number or part number? You can find the ASK
parts for 3-KW, 5-KW,
and 10-KW DED
generators in their TMs.
15-KW and 30-KW
generators have no kits.

owering the gun direction unit (GDU) of your battery computer system
(BCS) can be a real drain on batteries. And that means a drain on your unit’s
pocketbook.
But you guys are smart and most of you use your vehicle’s power through the
NATO slave receptacle.
The problem is that those short cables tie you so close to the vehicle.
Problem solved! Order a 50-ft cable with NSN 5995-01-271-9972. It costs
about $250, but you’ll make up that cost in battery savings.
i'll say!
