Dear Sergeant J.F.
SKO CLs are just beginning
to identify TMDE that requires
calibration. A better method
would be to order EM 0022,
TM 43-TMDE (IDN 344568),
through normal publications
channels. This CD contains all
TMDE regulations and
instructions for identifying
and calibrating
your equipment.

all these
tools!
now I have to
figure out which
ones are going to
need calibrating
every year.
no problem.
just look in
em 0022.

What
Needs
Calibrating?
Dear Half-Mast,
Is there any way to look
at a sets, kits, and outfits
(SKO) component list (CL)
for a tool set and tell
which tools in it need to
be calibrated annually?

Water Purification Unit…
a
600-GPH reverse osmosis water purifica-
tion unit (ROWPU) that hasn’t run in a while
might shock you! That’s because the unit’s
ground may be corroded, not connected or
gone.
Any time your ROWPU has sat idle for a
while, look for broken wires or loose connec-
tions inside and outside the junction box.
Eyeball the connections on the ground
wire at the frame and the rod. Look for cor-
rosion or a loose connection. Also make sure
each pump has a ground.
If you find anything wrong with the
ground, fix what you can and report what you
can’t before you or anyone else uses it.
