PLGR Battery Caps
Order the primary battery cap for your AN/PSN-11 precision lightweight GPS
receiver (PLGR) with NSN 5340-01-449-1029. Order the memory battery cap
When you run the convective space heater, NSN 4520-01-431-8927, in moderate
climates (like the southern U.S., for example), you’re liable to overheat your tent.
Once the temperature inside exceeds 90°F, the in-tent controller system fault light
shows a code 10, TENT OVER TEMPERATURE. At that point, the heater will
either shut off immediately or shut off as soon as the battery recharges.
After the tent cools, the heater cycles back on and eventually overheats the tent
again. The heater continues cycling on and off until the outdoor temperature drops.
This on/off cycling causes carbon to build up in the burner and around the glow
plug. Too much carbon around the glow plug increases the chance that the plug will
overheat and burn out.
So, if your heater’s been cycling a lot, the first thing you’ll need to do is give the
burner a thorough cleaning.

S
hoot, move, and communicate
is a popular military axiom.
Shooters have weapons ranges
and simulators to keep their
skills honed.
Commanders are always train-
ing soldiers on mounted and dis-
mounted movement.
Communicators have a set of
tutorials that will keep soldiers
familiar with the equipment they
use.
The U.S. Army Signal Center
at Ft Gordon, GA, maintains a
website full of links to tutorials.
The site is dedicated to Signal
Support Systems specialists.
Tutorials are available on the
following radio sets:
—AN/GRC-213
—AN/PRC-104
—AN/GRC-193
—SINCGARS
—MSRT
—CNR
—AN/PSC-5
