2.24.2.12
Static Operation With External Power - Switchover From Non-NBC To NBC Conditions.
During NBC mode of operation, TQG or equivalent power source must be connected and
operating with the ESS functioning. Power panel circuit breaker (rear, driver side of LMS)
must be ON. ESS MODE selector switch must be on VENT, HEAT or COOL for ESS to
function.
To prevent injury to ears, hearing protection is required.
Do not hit LMS or ABS windows. Windows may crack or break.
NOTE
To reach over pressure in ABS as quickly as possible and to prevent contamination,
communications between LMS crew and cab crew are essential. A method of communication
should be established as early as possible (possibly prior to mission). This can take the form
of voice communications, hand signals, field phones if available, or a combination of any of
these methods.
At times voice communications will be difficult due to high noise level.
a. Cab Crew Tasks
(1)
Locate MOPP gear and put on full chemically protective clothing and masks.
(2)
Close ECV, outside TALP and outside ambulatory airlock doors.
NOTE
Circuit breaker on LMS power panel (rear, driver side) must be ON for TQG or equivalent
external power source (para 2.12).
(3)
Ensure that TQG or equivalent power source is connected and operating, ground leads are
connected and circuit breaker on LMS power panel (rear, driver side) is set to ON.
If any engine indicators come on during system start up or operation, use over rides as
necessary and proceed to troubleshooting (Chapter 3, Section II) to take corrective action.
Continuing start up or operation without correcting problem can damage system.
(4)
Monitor gages and hydraulic indicators to verify that all systems are operational.
(5)
Ensure that fastener hook and fastener loop are engaged properly on outer ambulatory airlock
door.
(6)
Ensure that TALP tunnel fabric is properly latched to TALP airlock door.
(7)
Verify that DCS flaps are rolled down and secured or that connectors are in place and secured.
(8)
Open vent holes on outer TALP and ambulatory airlock doors by adjusting or pulling back
fastener hook and fastener loop cover so that at least two holes are visible.
(9)
Communicate with LMS crew to determine if adjustments to outer TALP, ambulatory airlock
door and DCS connector vents are required.
b. LMS Crew Tasks
(1)
Put on chemically protective masks.
(2)
Ensure that access door and emergency exit hatch are closed and latched.
