(14) Allow TALP and ambulatory airlock to purge for approximately three minutes. Using CAM,
open side zipper on TALP airlock tunnel or fastener hook and fastener loop tape on ambulatory
airlock door partially to insert CAM probe. Check if airlock has purged sufficiently. If
contamination is present, remove CAM, close zipper or fastener hook and fastener loop tape,
and allow another minute or so to pass before performing another CAM check.
NOTE
Both ambulatory and TALP entry areas serve as airlocks to prevent undue loss of pressure
when doors are opened and to provide a place for final decontamination of individuals who
are entering from a contaminated area. Most contaminants that penetrate are swept out by
purging airflow from opened flaps on outer and inner doors. Contaminants which penetrate
enclosure are filtered by NBC recirculation air filters powered from receptacle panel.
(15) Verify NBC recirculation filters (9 and 10, figure 2-17) are operating.
(16) This completes switchover from non-NBC to NBC conditions in static mode with external power.
Operate system as mission requires.
