TS-4348/UV…
T
he TS-4348/UV electronic systems test set, NSN 6625-01-323-9584, tells you
whether a night vision device (NVD) is good to
GO
or is a
NO GO.
But how do you know if the test set is telling you the truth? You won’t unless you
get it calibrated regularly.
Armorers, look at the test
set and see if a DA Label 80
is attached to it. If it is, the
label will tell you when the
next calibration is due. If the
NVD is overdue for a calibra-
tion, turn it in to your calibra-
tion team or TMDE.
If there is no DA Label 80,
take no chances. Get it cali-
brated. After calibration, you
will have a DA Label 80 on
your NVD to tell you when
the next calibration is due.
Don’t wait until your test
set gives you a
Check
Calibration
warning before
you get it calibrated. That’s
too late. You should be using
the test set regularly in the
field and that is not the time
to worry about calibration.
PLGR BA-5800 Battery Availability
T
he BA-5800 main power battery for the AN/PSN-11 precision lightweight GPS
receiver, once in short supply, is now well-stocked. Use NSN 6135-01-440-7774
to get a package of eight. The old NSN 6135-99-760-9742 is discontinued. New
rechargeable substitutes for the BA-5800 should be available this summer.
Is a DA Label 80
attached?
“Think of the
word
‘routine’
as
an excuse to do
PM more often,
not less.”
“That gives you
some discretion
over when you
do PM…”
“…but it
doesn’t
give you the
freedom
not
to do it.”
Check calibration
One
more word
about the
test set.
TM 11-5855-299-
12&P tells you to
do PMCS on the
set “routinely.”
If your test set
is
not
good to
go, I won’t be
either!
TS-4348/UV
TEST SET, ELEK. SYS.
I’m
warning
you!
Did we
test
those
NVGs?
No, our test
set hasn’t been
calibrated in so
long, I
can’t
trust it!
Hey!
are we
good to
go or
not!?
