10. R Z OCT 95FM DIRACALA ROCK ISLAND IL //AMSTA-AC-CTC-D//UNCLAS (750-1B) SUBJECT: ACALA MAINTENANCE ADVISORY MESSAGE (95-12), MAINTENANCE INFORMATION FOR THE M43A1 CHEMICAL AGENT DETECTOR (NSN ), M9 PAPER (NSN ), AND ADDRESS CHANGES. 1. DISTRIBUTION: NOTE: THIS IS A MAINTENANCE ADVISORY MESSAGE THAT HAS NOT BEEN TRANSMITTED TO SUBORDINATE UNITS. MACOM COMMANDERES WILL IMMEDIATELY RE-TRANSMIT THIS MESSAGE TO ALL SUBORDINATE UNITS, ACTIVITIES, OR ELEMENTS AFFECTED OR CONCERNED. RETRANSMITTAL SHALL REFERENCE THIS MESSAGE. MACOM COMMANDERS WILL VERIFY RECEIPT WHEN RETRANSMITTING THIS MESSAGE BY SENDING AN INFO COPY OF THE RETRANSMITTAL TO DIRECTOR, ACALA, AMSTA-AC- CTC-D, ROCK ISLAND, IL PROBLEM/DISCUSSION: THIS MESSAGE IS TO INFORM UNITS THAT EMPLOYOR SERVICE M43A1 CHEMICAL AGENT DETECTORS OF THE ADDRESS CHANGE AT ANNISTON ARMY DEPOT (ANAD). THIS ADDRESS IS ONLY TO BE USED FOR SENDING M43A1 DETECTORS TO DEPOT THAT HAVE FAILED THE WIPE TEST (F.W.T) OR WHEN WHITE POWDER OR LIQUID IS PRESENT (REF ACALA SOUM 95-04, PARA 2J). IF ONE OR ALL OF THE ABOVE APPLY, MAKE SURE THE WHOLE DETECTOR IS SENT TO DEPOT, NOT JUST THE CELL. DEFENSE DISTRIBUTION DEPOT ANNISTON 7 FRANKFORT AVE ATTN: DDAA-U BLDG 112 (M43A1 F.W.T.) ANNISTON AL M43A1 DETECTORS ONLY BEING SENT TO ANAD FOR DEPOT LEVEL REPAIR WILL USE THE FOLLOWING ADDRESS: DEFENSE DISTRIBUTION DEPOT ANNISTON 7 FRANKFORT AVE ATTN: DDAA-U BLDG 112 ANNISTON AL A NUMBER OF UNITS ARE PUTTING THE WORKSHEET FOR THE WIPE TEST IN THE ENVELOPE WITH THE DISPOSABLE APPLICATOR. THIS PROCEDURE HAS THE POTENTIAL TO UNDULY EXPOSE LAB PERSONNEL. PLEASE REFRAIN FROM THIS PRACTICE (REF ACALA SOUM 95-04, PARA 3M).4. USERS OF M43A1 CHEMICAL AGENT DETECTOR UNITS CAN NOW ORDER A DISPOSABLE SNAP-ON AIR OUTLET FILTER ADAPTER. ONCE THE SNAP-ON ADAPTER IS RECEIVED, IT CAN BE SCREWED ON THE AIR OUTLET FILTER. THE RESULTING AIR FILTER/ADAPTER ASSEMBLY CAN THEN BE PUSHED ONTO THE DETECTOR AIR OUTLET WHERE IT WILL BE HELD SECURELY. THERE IS NO NEED TO REMOVE THE AIR OUTLET NUT WHEN USING THE OUTLET FILTER WITH THE ATTACHED SNAP-ON ADAPTER. REMOVAL IS ACCOMPLISHED BY SIMPLY PULLING OFF THE FILTER/ADAPTER ASSEMBLY. THIS ADAPTER IS NOT REUSABLE AND SHOULD BE DISPOSED OF AS RADIOACTIVE WASTE WITH THE AIR FILTER. USING THE SNAP-ON ADAPTER IS QUICKER AND WILL PREVENT THE LOSS OF THE AIR OUTLET NUT OR THE AIR OUTLET CAP, STRIPPED THREADS ON THE AIR OUTLET NUT OR THE AIR OUTLET ITSELF, OR DROPPING THE AIR OUTLET INTO THE DETECTOR CASE. IF THE LATTER OCCURS, THE DETECTOR MUST BE SENT TO DEPOT FOR REPAIR SINCE THE AIR FLOW PATH MUST BE ENTERED TO CORRECT THIS PROBLEM. THIS PROCEDURE IS NOT AUTHORIZED AT DS OR TMDE PER ACALA SOUM 94-04, PARA 2H. THE SNAP-ON ADAPTER IS IDENTIFIED AS NSN THE COST PER ITEM IS LESS THAN FIVE DOLLARS. REQUISITIONS FOR SNAP-ON ADAPTERS SHOULD BE FORWARDED TO: RIC S9C DEFENSE CONSTURCTION SUPPLY CENTER.5. THE M43A1 DETECTOR CELL, NSN , IS NOT IN STOCK ATTHIS TIME. THIS ITEM IS ON CONTRACT; HOWEVER, DELIVERIES OF THE CELL WILL NOT COMMENCE UNTIL JUN 96. CONSEQUENTLY, WE ARE ALLOWING UNITS TO TURN IN THEIR UNSERVICEABLE DETECTOR UNIT, NSN , AND REQUISITION A REPLACEMENT DETECTOR. THE UNIT WILL BE GIVEN CREDIT FOR THEIR TURN-IN, WHICH WILL OFFSET THE COST TO REQUISITION THE REPLACEMENT DETECTOR. UNITS THAT TAKE THIS OPTION ARE ASKED TO CANCEL THEIR REQUISITION FOR THE DETECTOR CELL IF THEY CURRENTLY HAVE ONE ON BACKORDER.6. THE ITEMS LISTED ABOVE ARE COMPONENTS OF THE M8A1 CHEMICAL AGENTALARM, NSN , LIN A THESE COMPONENTS ARE NO LONGER ON THE AUTOMATIC RETURN ITEM LIST (ARIL). ALL FIELD RETURNS FOR THESE ITEMS SHOULD BE DIRECTED TO ACALA AS EXCESS IAW AR , CHAPTER 7. EACH ITEM MUST SHOW DOCUMENTATION OF AN UNSERVICEABLE RETURN BEFORE A REPLACEMENT IS ISSUED DUE TO THE NUCLEAR REGULATORY COMMISSION LICENSE RESTRICTIONS. BOTH ITEMS ARE CONSIDERED RADIOACTIVE AS LONG AS THE DETECTOR CELL IS INTACT. THEY ARE ALSO CLASS 2 ITEMS TO BE RECORDED ON ACCOUNTABLE PROPERTY BOOKS. BOTH ITEMS ARE SERIALIZED AND CONTROLLED. WHEN TURNING IN UNSERVICEABLE DETECTOR UNITS AND REQUISITIONING REPLACEMENTS, THE FOLLOWING INFORMATION MUST BE FURNISHED TO THISACTIVITY. A. UIC AND DODAAC OF OWNING UNIT B. SERIAL NUMBER OF UNSERVICEABLE CELL AND ASSOCIATED DETECTOR C. DOCUMENT NUMBER OF THE UNSERVICEABLE RETURN (REPORT OF EXCESS, FTE) D. DOCUMENT NUMBER OF REQUISITION FOR REPLACEMENT ITEM7. FOR INFORMATION ON TURN-INS, THE POC IS: MS. CHRIS SAMPLE, ACALA, ITEM MANAGER, DSN , WHEN ORDERING M9 PAPER, CHEMICAL AGENT DETECTOR, USE NSN THIS IS NEW M9 PAPER. THE NEW M9 PAPER MAY BE DISPOSED OF BY CUTTING IN HALF AND PUTTING IN COMMON TRASH. IF THE OLD NSN IS USED, THE ORDER WILL BE REJECTED. 9. IN REGARD TO A MESSAGE THAT WAS SENT TO THE FIELD BY TMDE ON WHERE TO SEND WIPE TEST SAMPLES: TMDE MESSAGE STATES TO SEND ALL WIPE TEST SAMPLES TO REDSTONE ARSENAL. THAT STATEMENT IS INCORRECT! ALL WIPE TEST SAMPLES FOR THE M43A1 WILL BE SENT TO THE ROCK ISLAND LAB, AS STATED IN ACALA SOUM WIPE TEST SAMPLES NOT SENT TO THE ROCK ISLAND LAB WILL NOT BE RECORDED WITH DODRATTS AND WILL BECOME NON- MISSION CAPABLE.10.
