Section I. CONTROLS AND INDICATORS

42. General
This chapter contains the daily operational checks,
controls and indicators for the equipment, installation
and checkout of the missile, and the removal and
postflight procedures. Also, instructions for removal of
the subsystem are included, if you need to repair the
subsystem after flight.

43. Controls and Indicators

Tables 4 through 9 contain the controls and
indicators needed to perform the necessary checks and
adjustments that will determine if the subsystem will
operate properly.

Section II. DAILY OPERATIONAL CHECKS AND SERVICES

44. Operational Checks Perform these checks before

operation or after the armament subsystem has been
repaired. Also, perform the maintenance serviceability
evaluation as indicated in chapter 4. When any
assembly has been replaced because of a malfunction,
refer it to a field maintenance team.

Table 10. Daily Operational Checks and Services

Preparation for test:
a. Equipment required:
(1) Test set
(2) Test cable
(3) Explosive-cartridge circuit tester
(4) Explosive-bolt circuit tester
(5) Gunner's quadrant
b. All optical, guidance, jettisoning, and launching equipment must be installed and all cables connected. Don't
connect a missile or an explosive cartridge to the system. Connect all explosive-bolt cables connectors to the shorting
plugs in the fixed housings (fig. 24).
c. Make all daily preventive maintenance checks (table 11) before you begin the operational check.

Step Operation and normal indication Corrective action

1 Perform the preliminary procedures prior to applica-
tion of power.
a. At the helicopter overhead circuit breaker panel,
pull out the SS-11 POWER and SS-11 JETTI-
SON circuit breakers.
b. At the aircraft pedestal panel, set the SS-11 JET-
TISON/SAFE switch to SAFE.
c. At the missile selection box, turn the key switch to
off and set the missile selection switch to 0.
d. At each launcher, check to see that the explosive
cartridge is removed.
2 Energize the system.
Note. Always use external power (APU), when available, to conserve the aircraft battery.
a. At the helicopter overhead circuit-breaker panel,
set the BAT ON/OFF switch to OFF (when
using APU) or to ON (when using the battery).
Set the NON-ESS BUS switch to MANUAL ON.
b. Set the VM selector switch on the overhead panel to
the NON-ESS BUS position and observe the
volts, DC meter on the instrument panel.
The meter indicates between 23 and 30 volts. Report to aircraft maintenance
personnel.

Linear Measure Liquid Measure

1 centiliter = 10 milliters = .34 fl. ounce

1 centimeter = 10 millimeters = .39 inch 1 deciliter = 10 centiliters = 3.38 fl. ounces
1 decimeter = 10 centimeters = 3.94 inches 1 liter = 10 deciliters = 33.81 fl. ounces
1 meter = 10 decimeters = 39.37 inches 1 dekaliter = 10 liters = 2.64 gallons
1 dekameter = 10 meters = 32.8 feet 1 hectoliter = 10 dekaliters = 26.42 gallons
1 hectometer = 10 dekameters = 328.08 feet 1 kiloliter = 10 hectoliters = 264.18 gallons
1 kilometer = 10 hectometers = 3,280.8 feet
Square Measure
Weights
1 sq. centimeter = 100 sq. millimeters = .155 sq. inch
1 centigram = 10 milligrams = .15 grain 1 sq. decimeter = 100 sq. centimeters = 15.5 sq. inches
1 decigram = 10 centigrams = 1.54 grains 1 sq. meter (centare) = 100 sq. decimeters = 10.76 sq. feet
1 gram = 10 decigram = .035 ounce 1 sq. dekameter (are) = 100 sq. meters = 1,076.4 sq. feet
1 decagram = 10 grams = .35 ounce 1 sq. hectometer (hectare) = 100 sq. dekameters = 2.47 acres
1 hectogram = 10 decagrams = 3.52 ounces 1 sq. kilometer = 100 sq. hectometers = .386 sq. mile
1 kilogram = 10 hectograms = 2.2 pounds
1 quintal = 100 kilograms = 220.46 pounds Cubic Measure
1 metric ton = 10 quintals = 1.1 short tons
1 cu. centimeter = 1000 cu. millimeters = .06 cu. inch
1 cu. decimeter = 1000 cu. centimeters = 61.02 cu. inches

Was brought to you by me:

Liberated Manuals -- free army and government manuals

Why do I do it? I am tired of sleazy CD-ROM sellers, who take publicly

available information, slap “watermarks” and other junk on it, and sell it.
Those masters of search engine manipulation make sure that their sites that
sell free information, come up first in search engines. They did not create it...
They did not even scan it... Why should they get your money? Why are not
letting you give those free manuals to your friends?

I am setting this document FREE. This document was made by the US

Government and is NOT protected by Copyright. Feel free to share,
republish, sell and so on.

I am not asking you for donations, fees or handouts. If you can, please
provide a link to liberatedmanuals.com, so that free manuals come up first in
search engines:
