T
he meteorological measuring set (MMS) AN/TMQ-41, NSN 6660-01-386-3906,
uses two types of light fixtures. One fixture takes a halogen bulb and the other an
incandescent bulb.
The MMS AN/TMQ-41A uses one type of light fixture—an incandescent bulb.
Some MMS AN/TMQ-41 units contain a light fixture that requires a dual contact,
28V, halogen bulb. This bulb needs to be local purchased from the manufacturer,
Ushio America Inc., using CAGE 0H3N2 and a part number of 1000917. Their
phone number is 800-838-7446.
Other MMS AN/TMQ-41s and all AN/TMQ-41As contain a light fixture that
requires a single contact, 28V, incandescent bulb, NSN 6240-00-155-7965.

AN/TMQ-41, -41A…
remember, The
incandescent bulb is
not interchangeable
with the halogen bulb!
“Put the incandescent
where the halogen
belongs and you’ll
ruin
the light.”
7.
Do not smoke, eat or drink in
battery storage areas. An open
flame could lead to an explosion
and eating around toxins is never a
good idea.
11.
Know the odors, such as the
smell of rotten eggs, and sounds,
such as hissing and popping, asso-
ciated with abnormal battery
behavior. Let your nose and ears
tell you when you might have a
problem with a stored battery. Also,
immediately disconnect any battery
that is hot to the touch.
12.
Last, but certainly not least, all per-
sonnel should be properly trained in main-
tenance procedures, first aid, personal
protection equipment and the hazards of
battery maintenance operations.
10.
Keep only authorized batteries on
hand and keep only the number that you
need. It’s a good idea to display in your
storage area a list of available batteries and
the equipment they’re used in.
8.
Do not mix new and used batteries.
Each type needs its own storage area. Do
not let used batteries pile up. Properly dis-
pose of them quickly.
9.
Periodically inspect stored batteries for
defects such as bulges, cracks or leaks and
to monitor battery expiration dates.
There, that
oughta
hold it now.
hey, I got
these old
batteries…
When replacing the
light fixture in any MMS,
use the one that uses the
incandescent bulb.
The
one that uses the halogen
is being phased out. The
incandescent bulb fixture
needs to be ordered by
part number S2312-201
and CAGE 78366 on a
DD Form 1348-6.
this is
as close
as I care
to get.
no, I
don’t
think the
energizer
bunny’s
gonna be on
the test.
