The following general safety procedures are not related to any specific procedures and, therefore, do not appear anywhere else in this publication. These are precautions that personnel must understand and apply during all phases of operation and maintenance.

KEEP AWAY FROM LIVE CIRCUITS

Operating personnel must observe safety regulations at all times. Do not replace components or make adjustments inside the equipment when potentially lethal voltages are present. Turn off system power before making/breaking electrical connections. Regard any exposed connector, terminal board, or circuit board as a possible shock hazard.

Components which retain a charge shall be discharged only when such grounding does not result in equipment damage.

If a test connection to energized equipment is required, make the test equipment ground connection before probing the voltage or signal to be tested. To avoid casualties, always remove power, discharge, and ground a circuit before touching it.

DO NOT SERVICE OR ADJUST ALONE

Under no circumstances shall any person reach into or enter an enclosure for the purpose of servicing or adjusting the equipment, except in the presence of someone who is capable of rendering aid.

CARDIOPULMONARY RESUSCITATION AND

FIRST AID

Personnel working with or near high voltages should be currently certified in Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation (CPR). Additional information may be obtained from the appropriate medical commands.

NOISE HAZARDOUS AREAS

Personnel when working in noise hazardous areas shall wear specified hearing protection and perform other locally specified procedures to minimize exposure.

Specific information is contained in material safety data sheets (MSDS) , which are available at each worksite for each hazardous item.

Individual warnings listed in this publication and availability of MSDS are not substitutes for training and written hazard communication program.

WARNINGS AND CAUTIONS USED IN THIS

MANUAL

Warnings and cautions are inserted throughout the text of this manual to notify personnel of potential hazards.

Warnings are used to alert personnel to potential safety and health hazards. Cautions are used to alert personnel to conditions that could result in damage to equipment or property.

CHEMICAL SAFETY

Aircraft maintenance chemicals (such as abrasive materials, cleaners, corrosion preventives, paint strippers, surface treatments, sealants, paints, solvents, etc.) may be hazardous to skin, eyes, and respiratory and digestive tracts when misused, when used without proper precautions or safety devices, or when used without personal protective equipment.

Learn the warnings and cautions for using specific maintenance chemicals and procedures. Observe manufacturer’s warning labels and the warnings and cautions in this manual and other applicable maintenance instruction manuals.

Obtain and use personal protective equipment (such as goggles, respirators, gloves, boots, aprons, etc.) as recommended by the local safety office, industrial hygienist, bioenvironmental engineer, material safety data sheet (MSDS), DOD 6050.5LR or this manual.

Ensure that sufficient ventilation exists. Cartridge respirators only filter out the airborne contamination for which they were designed; a respiratory hazard exists if oxygen is depleted or displaced.

When flammable materials are used, ensure that all sources of ignition have been removed from the area and that only explosion proof or pneumatically powered equipment is used. Ensure that fire fighting equipment is readily available and in working order.

Do not mix maintenance chemicals with each other, unless written instructions specifically direct a mixing procedure.

Many combinations of chemicals are incompatible and may produce toxic fumes and/or violent reactions. Liquid oxygen is not compatible with most organic materials;

explosions have occurred on contact with greases and oils.

Use only the materials recommended by this manual and other applicable maintenance instruction manuals. Use only the maintenance chemicals and procedures recommended for specific aircraft components. Some chemicals are incompatible with certain aircraft materials. For example, acidic surface treatments can cause embrittlement of high strength steel and chemical paint removers will dissolve canopy materials.

MECHANICAL SAFETY

Without the proper safety devices and tools, aircraft maintenance procedures may present severe mechanical hazards (such as loss of control of tools, falling, cuts from sharp surfaces, impact of debris from high speed tools, etc.).

Learn the warnings and cautions required for specific maintenance procedures. Observe manufacturer’s warning labels and the warnings and cautions in this manual and other applicable maintenance instruction manuals.

Obtain and use personal protective equipment (such as goggles, respirators, gloves, boots, aprons, etc.) as recommended by the local safety office, industrial hygienist, bioenvironmental engineer, material safety data sheet (MSDS), DOD 6050.5-LR or this manual.

Obtain and use the necessary safety devices (such as safety harnesses, safety lines, etc.) and tools fitted with safety devices (such as chip guards, belt guards, etc.).

Use only those procedures recommended by this manual and other applicable maintenance instruction manuals.

Unauthorized procedures can result in personal injury, vii

damage to equipment and property, and loss of aircraft flight worthiness.

Unless specifically allowed by shop safety procedures, remove rings, watches, and other metallic objects that may get caught in moving parts.

Use compressed air carefully. Objects propelled with compressed air can produce severe personal injury.

ELECTRICAL SAFETY

Without the proper safety devices and tools, aircraft maintenance procedures may present severe electrical hazards (such as burns or electrocution).

Open all circuit breakers associated with battery power (refer to applicable maintenance manuals) prior to using flammable materials on aircraft. Before cleaning electrical and avionic equipment ensure that electrical power is disconnected. Electrically ground aircraft during all cleaning and painting operations.

Do not inspect or perform maintenance on aircraft when an electrical storm is in the immediate area.

If electrical/electronic equipment has been contaminated with conductive liquids (water, saltwater, cleaners, etc.) or conductive dusts or fibers (metallic particles, graphite fibers, etc.), decontaminate the equipment prior to powering up.

Use only those procedures recommended by this manual and other applicable maintenance instruction manuals.

Unauthorized procedures can result in personal injury, damage to equipment and property, and loss of aircraft flight worthiness.

1-1. GENERAL.

a. Today’s military avionic systems assume a significant share of the responsibility for mission completion, performance capability, and overall system safety. The role of avionics includes mission essential equipment, flight critical equipment, and aircraft hardware.

For example, navigation, communications, electronic warfare, weapon management, flight/engine controls and displays, and wiring are all considered avionics. Electronics and electrical power systems are also considered avionics.

The reliability of these complex systems in any environment is critical for aircraft flight and mission essential functions.

NOTE

In this manual, use of the term “avionic systems” shall refer to any device that uses electrical power. The term “avionic technician” shall include the aviation electrician, aviation electronic technician, or any personnel authorized to perform maintenance on avionic systems.

b. Corrosion is a major cause of avionic equipment failures, particularly while installed in military aircraft. In many cases, even minute amounts of corrosion can cause intermittent malfunction or complete failure of the equipment. Past experience shows that in order to obtain certain electrical characteristics, for example, low electromagnetic interference (EMI), a compromise in the design selection of materials might be needed (for example, the use of conductive adhesive). Sometimes such compromises can lead to corrosion problems that are aggravated by exposure to varying environmental conditions (for example, EMI corrosion). Avionic equipment is routinely exposed to varying environmental conditions. These conditions include changing temperatures and pressures, varying humidity, dust, dirt, and industrial pollutants in the atmosphere that often initiate corrosion.

c. The types of corrosion that occur on avionic equipment are similar to those found on airframe structures.

The difference between avionic and airframe corrosion is that small amounts of corrosion in avionic equipment can cause intermittent malfunction or complete failure, while it may not impact airframe structures.

1-2. PURPOSE.

a. This manual provides Organizational/Unit and Intermediate maintenance instructions necessary to prevent, control, and repair corrosion of avionic equipment afloat or ashore.

b. Supervisory and maintenance personnel shall use this manual for all avionic corrosion control and maintenance efforts. Contractors who are required to maintain and repair corrosion of avionic systems shall also use this manual.

1-3. USAGE AND CONFLICTS.

a. This manual shall be used to provide corrosion control of avionic systems at the Organizational/Unit and Intermediate maintenance levels using authorized materials, techniques, and equipment.

b. Use this manual in conjunction with and in support of the appropriate Army Technical Manuals (TMs), Technical Bulletins (TBs), Department of the Army Pamphlets (DA PAMs), Navy Maintenance Instruction Manuals (MIMs), Navy Structural Repair Manuals (SRMs), Maintenance Requirement Cards (MRCs), or Air Force Technical Orders (TOs).

c. In the case of a conflict between this manual and other Navy manuals, this manual shall take precedence.

d. The Army and Air Force specific systems/ components manuals shall take precedence over this manual.

1-4. SCOPE AND ARRANGEMENT OF MANUAL.

1-4.1. General. The material in this manual contains basic avionic corrosion prevention and corrective maintenance information to be used at the Organizational/Unit and Intermediate levels.
