Until recently, your AISI required contractor service
once every 3 years. Now the manufacturer of the AISI,
Trimble
Navigation,
Ltd.,
has
extended
the
service
interval to once every 5 years. The extension covers all
AISIs managed by CECOM.
AISIs under this contract have a sticker that shows the
month and year when the next service is due. Because the
service date is set for every 3 years, the sticker needs to be
updated. Add two years to the date shown on the sticker
and write the new service due date on the sticker.
When±To±Get±Service
± So,±how±do±you±know±when±your±AISI±needs±contractor±service?±Look±at±the±month±
and±year±on±the±sticker.±The±sticker±always±reflects±a±3-year±interval±service±due±date.±To±
get±the±new±5-year±interval±service±due±date,±simply±add±2±years±to±the±date±shown.±For±
example,±if±the±sticker±reads±April±2014,±then±the±new±service±due±date±is±April±2016.
Why±Extend±the±Service±Interval?
The AISI has an internal battery
that supplies power to store data and
Frmware/software. The manufacturer
of
this
battery
has
increased
its
operating
life.
That
in
turn
has
increased the AISI’s time between
services to 5 years.
As
long
as
you
inspect
and
maintain the AISI like it says in TM
5-6675-371-12&P (Jan 09), a 5-year
interval service is all you need.
When
it’s
time
for
contractor
service,
get
instructions
from
CECOM’s Denice Ellis at DSN 848-
2916, (443) 861-2916, or email:
