Patriot Missile System . . .
Generator PDU Ps & Qs
T
he power distribution units (PDU) for the Patriot’s 30-KW generators are
there for a purpose. They provide safety features that protect you and the equip-
ment by allowing you to operate the
generator remotely.
If you bypass the PDU, those safety features
disappear. So never hook power cables directly to
the generator, even if there’s something wrong
with the PDU. It’s better not to operate than to
bypass the PDU. The correct hookup procedure
begins on Page 4-3 in TM 9-6115-647-14&P.
A number of PDUs in the field are missing
their schematic plate. No replacements are cur-
rently available. Until they are available, use the
wiring diagram on Page 4-32 in the -14&P.
Dear Editor,
In my role as the AMCOM logistics assistance representative at Ft
Stewart, I’ve come up with a few tips that should help Avenger and
Stinger units everywhere:
The umbilical cap for the
Stinger’s M167 captive flight trainer and
M160 field handling trainer is not listed in the Stinger TMs. Order it
with NSN 6920-01-248-9245.
The window glass and windshield NSNs are not found in the Avenger
TMs, but in the HMWWV’s TM 9-2320-280-24P-1. Order the window
glass for the passenger door with NSN 2510-01-188-7381 and for the
driver door with NSN 2510-01-189-9748. Order the passenger side
windshield with NSN 2510-01-289-8258 and the driver side windshield
with NSN 2510-01-289-2233.
To inventory the S-250 shelter-housed Avenger organizational
shop set, use TM 9-4935-432-24P.
Hope these tips help.
