The Solid State Security Illumination Mat System (SS-SIMS) is a component of the Entry Point Vehicle Kit (EPVK).

Solid State Security Illumination Mat System (SS-SIMS)

CAUTION

Vehicles must straddle the illuminated mat evenly or damage may occur to the system over time. To prevent LED damage, vehicle tires should contact the bump modules only.

COMPONENTS

Solid State Security Illumination Mat System (SS-SIMS)

ASSEMBLY AND PREPARATION FOR USE

Basic Installation and Operation

• Determine the best location that will direct traffic straight on and over the lighting system.

• Position vehicle to straddle the lighting system.

• avoid contact with the vehicle tires.

• Will accept power from either the left or right side.

CAUTION

Vehicles must straddle the illuminated mat evenly or damage can occur to the system over time.

To prevent damage vehicle tires should contact the bump modules only.

1. Position the AC Power Cord, Transformer, and DC Power Cord in the direction of the power source. DO NOT plug into power at this time.

2. Lay Long and Short Light Strips parallel to each other on the ground.

Position the Light strip with the shorter electrical cord is closest to the power outlet.

3. Lay the three Cross Braces into position as shown.

4. Connect the cross braces between the light strips by placing the stud hole within the strip over the studs on the cross brace and pushing down until the strip is well seated.

NOTE

The supplied nails and washers are only used for a more permanent application. If the intention is to keep the SS-SIMS as a portable unit, keep the nails and washers separate for future use.

5. Place the inner power cord protector into the location shown in the figure below.

Turn the power cord protector over and note the cavity along the underside. In the direction of the power outlet, press the power cord assembly from the short light strip into the cavity.

Mat (SS-SIMS)

6. Follow the instructions in the previous step for the long power strip.

7. Turn power cord protector back over.

8. Connect the Light Strips to the inner power cord protector by placing the stud holes on the end of the Light Strip, over the studs on the inner power cord protector and pushing down until the strip is well seated. Pull the power cord thru as needed.

9. Place the outer power cord protector horizontally adjacent to the inner power cord protector on the side that is closest to the power source. Turn the power cord protector over. Press the power cord assemblies into the cavity as described in step 5 above.

10. Lift the connecting edge of the inner power cord protector slightly then move the outer cord protector into place. Drop the inner protector over the top of the studs on the end of the outer protector. Press firmly into place.

NOTE:

One hole within the power strip will also have to drop onto one of the studs on the outer protector end.

11. Extend the remaining electrical cord away from the SS-SIMS to the electrical outlet.

DO NOT insert plug into socket yet.

AC and DC power cord connections are now required.

12. Insert the single socket connection from the DC Power Cord into the plug connector on the AC Transformer.

The connection from the DC Power Cord to the AC Transformer is a two pin connection.

To prevent damage to equipment, care must be taken in pressing the pins into the female connector. Ensure the pins are aligned before firmly pressing connecters together.

As these connectors are air tight, a second or third push may be required to fully seat the connectors. Operator should hear the air escape and a slight pop when coupling these connectors.

13.Follow the instructions in the previous step with the two socket and plug connectors from the DC power cord to the light.

14.Apply power to the system by simply plugging in AC power cord into an AC power socket.

Semi-permanent Installation

• Dirt or Sand Installation - To secure SS-SIMS in place, drive 8 inch nail through the holes provided within each Cross Brace.

• Asphalt or Concrete Installation - To secure SS-SIMS in place, drive provided 2 inch concrete nail (and washer) through the holes provided within each Cross B Brace.

The different sprays are used sequentially for instantly identifying different explosives.

The Explosive Trace Detector Spray Kit contains three aerosol spray cans whose contents react to evidence of different explosives by changing color.

EXPLOSIVE TRACE DETECTOR SPRAY

KIT

WARNING

Do not puncture cans, throw into fire, or expose to extreme heat. Direct spray can away from face and body before spraying. Serious injury to personnel may occur.

Gloves and safety glasses must be worn while handling the Explosive Trace Detector Spray Kit. The Explosive Trace Detector Spray Kit is highly flammable.

Do not use it near ignition sources.

Store the Explosive Trace Detector Spray Kit cans in a cool dry place. The cans may lose pressure if stored in high temperatures, making them harder to use properly. To avoid accidental discharge, the cans should be stored upright in the carrying case.

1. Ensure serviceability of all Explosive Trace Detector Spray Kit cans by spraying a small amount of detector spay from each can onto a Test Paper (provided with kit). A serviceable spray will yield an “EX” image on the Test Paper. If test does not yield an image, replace can IAW local SOP.

2. Remove a collection paper from the paper dispenser.

Do not touch the sticky surface of the collection paper.

Pre- or cross-contamination can occur, rendering test results inaccurate.

Although NOT recommended, if necessary, ordinary light color paper (such as tissue) can be used with the kit.

3. Remove the protective layer from the sticky side of the collection paper.

4. Wipe the surface of the suspect object (hands, trunk lid, etc.)

with the sticky side of the collection paper, or place a small amount of the suspected material on collection paper.

Do not remove protective layer from paper prematurely. Paper may turn pink if left in the open air long enough, giving a false positive reaction.

WARNING

Only use spray cans in well-ventilated areas to avoid inhalation of sprays.

Serious injury to personnel may occur. Direct spray can away from face and body before spraying. Serious injury to personnel may occur.

CAUTION

Always shake the spray can before using to ensure a proper reaction to the suspected chemicals.

5. Shake 1 “E” spay can vigorously.

6. Holding 1 “E” spray can about 6 inches from the collection paper, lightly spray the paper (or object).

Refer to the color chart in the kit for the color reactions of various explosives.

7. Watch for a color change on the paper/object and refer to the color chart.

8. If the paper/object does not change color, test the same spot on the collection paper/object with 2 “X” spray can.

9. If the paper/object did not react to sprays from either can “E” or “X”, but explosives are still suspected, test the same area with 3 “I”.

Shake container and lightly spraying from about 6 inches away.

3 “I” must be shaken immediately before using to ensure the chemicals react properly, or an accurate reaction will not occur.

10. Watch for the paper/object to change to pink, indicating inorganic nitrates (Group “I”) explosives, which could indicate an improvised explosive.

VEHICLE INSPECTION CHECKLIST

The Vehicle Inspection Checklist is a guide for determining various indicators of suspect hidden Improvised Explosive Devices (IEDs) on a range of vehicle types, recognition of typical representative IED types, and has a training section for recognition of explosives and IED types.

It is printed on waterproof paper, spiral bound, and is suitable for field use.

The VIC is a restricted document available only to Federal, State, and local governments involved in security and counter-terrorism activities
