Fox NBC Vehicle . . .
M8 to ACADA
The Fox is switching from the old
M8 chemical alarm to the new M22
ACADA (alarm chemical agent detec-
tor automatic), which can detect both
nerve and blister agents. The ACADA
has a different radiation source than
the M8. When you get the ACADA,
make sure the Fox’s shipping docu-
ments show the change. See your ra-
diation protection officer (RPO) for
details.
our Fox won’t be too foxy about
detecting chemical threats if you for-
get these basic PM rules.
MM1
When you power up the MM1 spec-
trometer, wait for it to finish warming
up and self-testing before you start op-
erating. If you don’t, any readings you
get from the MM1 may be false. It
takes at least 10 minutes for the MM1
to warm up.
Remember the tail section
doors are heavy and spring-
loaded. If you don’t make sure
the doors are locked open,
they can give you a powerful
whack. Push the door’s top all
the way up and its bottom all the
way down until you feel them
lock in place.

Doors and Hatches
Before you open the upper and lower
tail section doors, shut the glove/ac-
cess cover. Otherwise, the cover can
be damaged when you push the lower
door down. That ruins the port cover
seal.
