NAVY ELECTRICITY AND ELECTRONICS TRAINING

SERIES
The Navy Electricity and Electronics Training Series (NEETS) was developed for use by personnel in
many electrical- and electronic-related Navy ratings. Written by, and with the advice of, senior
technicians in these ratings, this series provides beginners with fundamental electrical and electronic
concepts through self-study. The presentation of this series is not oriented to any specific rating structure,
but is divided into modules containing related information organized into traditional paths of instruction.
The series is designed to give small amounts of information that can be easily digested before advancing
further into the more complex material. For a student just becoming acquainted with electricity or
electronics, it is highly recommended that the modules be studied in their suggested sequence. While
there is a listing of NEETS by module title, the following brief descriptions give a quick overview of how
the individual modules flow together.
Module 1, Introduction to Matter, Energy, and Direct Current, introduces the course with a short history
of electricity and electronics and proceeds into the characteristics of matter, energy, and direct current
(dc). It also describes some of the general safety precautions and first-aid procedures that should be
common knowledge for a person working in the field of electricity. Related safety hints are located
throughout the rest of the series, as well.
Module 2, Introduction to Alternating Current and Transformers, is an introduction to alternating current
(ac) and transformers, including basic ac theory and fundamentals of electromagnetism, inductance,
capacitance, impedance, and transformers.
Module 3, Introduction to Circuit Protection, Control, and Measurement, encompasses circuit breakers,
fuses, and current limiters used in circuit protection, as well as the theory and use of meters as electrical
measuring devices.
Module 4, Introduction to Electrical Conductors, Wiring Techniques, and Schematic Reading, presents
conductor usage, insulation used as wire covering, splicing, termination of wiring, soldering, and reading
electrical wiring diagrams.
Module 5, Introduction to Generators and Motors, is an introduction to generators and motors, and
covers the uses of ac and dc generators and motors in the conversion of electrical and mechanical
energies.
Module 6, Introduction to Electronic Emission, Tubes, and Power Supplies, ties the first five modules
together in an introduction to vacuum tubes and vacuum-tube power supplies.
Module 7, Introduction to Solid-State Devices and Power Supplies, is similar to module 6, but it is in
reference to solid-state devices.
Module 8, Introduction to Amplifiers, covers amplifiers.
Module 9, Introduction to Wave-Generation and Wave-Shaping Circuits, discusses wave generation and
wave-shaping circuits.
Module 10, Introduction to Wave Propagation, Transmission Lines, and Antennas, presents the
characteristics of wave propagation, transmission lines, and antennas.

iv

Module 11, Microwave Principles, explains microwave oscillators, amplifiers, and waveguides.
Module 12, Modulation Principles, discusses the principles of modulation.
Module 13, Introduction to Number Systems and Logic Circuits, presents the fundamental concepts of
number systems, Boolean algebra, and logic circuits, all of which pertain to digital computers.
Module 14, Introduction to Microelectronics, covers microelectronics technology and miniature and
microminiature circuit repair.
Module 15, Principles of Synchros, Servos, and Gyros, provides the basic principles, operations,
functions, and applications of synchro, servo, and gyro mechanisms.
Module 16, Introduction to Test Equipment, is an introduction to some of the more commonly used test
equipments and their applications.
Module 17, Radio-Frequency Communications Principles, presents the fundamentals of a radiofrequency communications system.
Module 18, Radar Principles, covers the fundamentals of a radar system.
Module 19, The Technician's Handbook, is a handy reference of commonly used general information,
such as electrical and electronic formulas, color coding, and naval supply system data.
Module 20, Master Glossary, is the glossary of terms for the series.
Module 21, Test Methods and Practices, describes basic test methods and practices.
Module 22, Introduction to Digital Computers, is an introduction to digital computers.
Module 23, Magnetic Recording, is an introduction to the use and maintenance of magnetic recorders and
the concepts of recording on magnetic tape and disks.
Module 24, Introduction to Fiber Optics, is an introduction to fiber optics.
Embedded questions are inserted throughout each module, except for modules 19 and 20, which are
reference books. If you have any difficulty in answering any of the questions, restudy the applicable
section.
Although an attempt has been made to use simple language, various technical words and phrases have
necessarily been included. Specific terms are defined in Module 20, Master Glossary.
Considerable emphasis has been placed on illustrations to provide a maximum amount of information. In
some instances, a knowledge of basic algebra may be required.
Assignments are provided for each module, with the exceptions of Module 19, The Technician's
Handbook; and Module 20, Master Glossary. Course descriptions and ordering information are in
NAVEDTRA 12061, Catalog of Nonresident Training Courses.

THE TECHNICIAN'S HANDBOOK

Here, in one compact module, you will be able to find essential information and reference material.
Whether you want to know safety precautions, first aid, or any number of helpful pieces of information,
you will find it indexed.
We have included electrical and electronic formulas, data tables, and general maintenance hints. In
most cases you will find references to other more detailed sources included.
We solicit your suggestions, maintenance hints, and constructive criticism. You will receive credit in
future editions of this handbook if your input is used.

MISHAP PREVENTION AND AFTERCARE

Most of us working with electricity take risks. Usually we get our jobs done without any harmful
results. Mishaps or injuries usually result from not understanding a risk or danger.
The first part of this handbook is designed to help you eliminate or minimize mishaps. It also
provides you with a good review of what to do in case of a mishap.

SAFETY OBSERVATIONS FOR THE ELECTRICAL AND ELECTRONICS TECHNICIAN

Working safely is the most important thing you can do. Because of their importance, several
precautions are included as the first subject in this handbook. Of course there are more precautions, but
these are some you should think about. The keyword here is think. Think safety.

Never work alone.

Never receive an intentional shock.

Only work on, operate, or adjust equipment if you are authorized.

Don't work on energized equipment unless absolutely necessary.

Keep loose tools, metal parts, and liquids from above electrical equipment. Never use steel wool
or emery cloth on electric and electronic circuits.

Never attempt to repair energized circuits except in an emergency.

Never measure voltage in excess of 300 volts while holding the meter wire or probe.

Use only one hand when operating circuit breakers or switches.

Use proper tag-out procedures for regular and preventive maintenance.

1-1

Be cautious when working in voids or unvented spaces.

Beware the dangers of working aloft. Never attempt to stop a rotating antenna manually.

Keep protective closures, fuse panels, and circuit breaker boxes closed unless you are actually
working on them.

Never bypass an interlock unless you are authorized to do so by the commanding officer, and
then properly tag the bypass.

Use extreme caution when handling cathode-ray tubes. They implode violently if broken. The
anode contact may have a residual electrical charge. Make sure you discharge the anode before
handling.

You can find additional and more detailed information on safety in the Electronics Installation and
Maintenance Book (EIMB), General, NAVSEA SE000-00-EIM-100, paragraph 3-4. Another excellent
reference source is the Naval Electronics Systems Command's Electronic Safety Handbook, E0410-AAHBK-010/00K ELEXSAFE.
FIRST AID
First aid is the emergency care you give to sick or injured persons. It consists only of providing
temporary assistance or treatment until medical help is available. In addition to knowing what to do for a
victim, you should also know what not to do.
This section should be used to reinforce the knowledge you already have about first aid. First aid is
included in detail for the purposes of review, study, and ready reference.
First aid study classes are usually available through your medical department or the American Red
Cross.
Your knowledge of first aid measures and their proper application may mean the difference between
life and death, between rapid recovery and long hospitalization, or between temporary disability and
permanent injury.
The objectives of first aid are to save life and prevent further injury. First aid is not a substitute,
however, for proper medical treatment. Keep in mind the objectives of first aid. Everyone in the Navy
must know when and how to apply first aid measures and must be prepared to give assistance to persons
injured in battle, collision, fire, or accidents.
In administering first aid, you have three primary tasks:

Maintain breathing

Stop bleeding

Prevent or reduce shock

The first step, of course, is to determine the extent of the victim's injuries. When you treat a victim,
first consideration usually must be given to the most serious injury. In general, the order of treatment is to
restore breathing, stop bleeding, and treat for shock.
Work quickly, but do not rush around frantically. Do not waste time looking for ready-made
materials; do the best you can with whatever is at hand. Send for medical help as soon as possible.
1-2

Although each case involving injury or sickness presents its own special problems, the following
general rules apply to practically all situations. Become familiar with these basic rules before you go on to
first aid treatment for specific types of injuries.
1. Keep the victim lying down, head level with the body, until you have found out what kind of
injury has occurred and how serious it is. If the victim shows one of the following difficulties,
however, follow the rule given for that specific problem:
a. Vomiting or bleeding about the mouth and semi-consciousness. If the victim is in danger of
sucking in blood, vomited matter, or water, place the victim on his/her side or back with the
head turned to one side and lower than the feet.
b. Shortness of breath. If the victim has a chest injury or breathing difficulties, place the victim
in a sitting or semi-sitting position.
c. Shock. If the victim is in shock, place the person on his or her back with the head slightly
lower than the feet.
2. Move the victim no more than is absolutely necessary. To determine the extent of the victim's
injuries, carefully rip or cut the clothing along the seams. If done improperly, the removal of the
victim's clothing could cause great harm, especially if fracture injuries are involved. When the
clothing is removed, ensure that the victim does not become chilled. Shoes may also be cut off to
avoid causing pain or increasing an injury.
3. The victim need not see the actual injury(ies). You can supply reassurance and make the victim
more comfortable by ensuring him or her that the injuries incurred are understood and medical
attention will be given as soon as possible.
4. Do not touch open wounds or burns with fingers or other objects, except when sterile compresses
or bandages are not available and it is absolutely necessary to stop severe bleeding.
5. Do not try to give an unconscious person any solid or liquid substance by mouth. The person
may vomit and get some of the material into the lungs when he or she breathes, causing choking
and possibly death.
6. If a bone is broken, or you suspect that one is broken, do not move the victim until you have
immobilized the injured part. This may prove life saving in cases of severe bone fractures or
spinal cord injuries, because the jagged bone may sever nerves and blood vessels, damage
tissues, and increase shock. Of course, threat of fire, necessity to abandon ship, or other similar
situations may require that the victim be moved. But the principle that further damage could be
done by moving the victim should always be kept in mind and considered against other factors.
7. When transporting an injured person, always see that the litter is carried feet forward no matter
what the injuries are. This will enable the rear bearer to observe the victim for any respiratory
obstruction or stoppage of breathing.
8. Keep the injured person comfortably warm warm enough to maintain normal body
temperature.
Very serious and mutilating injuries may require heroic first aid measures on your part. However, the
greater the number of injuries, the more judgment and self-control you must exhibit to prevent yourself
and well-intentioned bystanders from trying to do too much.

1-3

Electric Shock
Electric shock may cause anything from mild surprise to death. The effects of the shock are usually
unknown. It is often hard to determine how an electrical shock victim has been affected.
SYMPTOMS OF ELECTRIC SHOCK.When you find someone who has received a severe
electric shock, the person's skin is usually very white or pale blue. In the case of victims with dark skin, it
may be necessary to rely primarily on the color of the mucous membranes on the inside of the mouth or
under the eye lid or under the nail bed. A person in or going into electric shock has a bluish color to these
membranes instead of a healthy pink. The victim's pulse is very weak or absent. The person is
unconscious, and usually the skin is burned. A stiffness of the body may happen in a few minutes. This is
caused by the muscles reacting to shock. You should not consider this condition as rigor mortis. You
should make sure the victim is no longer touching the live circuit and then start artificial respiration.
People have recovered after body stiffness has set in.
RESCUE OF VICTIMS.The rescue of a shock victim depends on your immediate administration
of first aid.
WARNING
Do not attempt to administer first aid or come in physical contact with an
electric shock victim before the power is shut off or, if the power cannot be shut off
immediately, before the victim has been removed from the live conductor.
When attempting to administer first aid to an electric shock victim, proceed as follows:
Shut off the power.
If the power cannot be deactivated, remove the victim immediately, observing the following
precautions:
Protect yourself with dry insulating material. Use a dry board, a belt, dry clothing, or other
available nonconductive material to free the victim (by pulling, pushing, or rolling) from the
power-carrying object. DO NOT TOUCH the victim.
Immediately after you remove the victim from contact with the live circuit, administer artificial
respiration/ventilation or cardiopulmonary resuscitation as necessary.
ANYONE WHO RECEIVES A SIGNIFICANT SHOCK SHOULD BE TAKEN TO SICK
BAY OR A MEDICAL FACILITY AND OBSERVED FOR SEVERAL HOURS.
Artificial Ventilation
A person who has stopped breathing is not necessarily dead, but is in immediate critical danger. Life
depends on oxygen that is breathed into the lungs and then carried by the blood to every body cell. Since
body cells cannot store oxygen, and since the blood can hold only a limited amount (and only for a short
time), death will surely result from continued lack of breathing.
The heart may continue to beat and the blood may still be circulated to the body cells for some time
after breathing has stopped. Since the blood will, for a short time, contain a small supply of oxygen, the
body cells will not die immediately. Thus, for a few minutes, there is some chance that the person's life
may be saved. A person who has stopped breathing but who is still alive is said to be in a state of
respiratory failure. The first aid treatment for respiratory failure is called artificial ventilation.

1-4

The purpose of artificial ventilation is to provide a method of air exchange until natural breathing is
established. Artificial ventilation should be given only when natural breathing has stopped; it must NOT
be given to any person who is still breathing. Do not assume that breathing has stopped merely because a
person is unconscious or because a person has been rescued from the water, from poisonous gas, or from
contact with an electric wire. Remember, DO NOT GIVE ARTIFICIAL VENTILATION TO A
PERSON WHO IS BREATHING NATURALLY. If the victim does not begin spontaneous breathing
after you use the head or jaw tilt techniques (discussed later) to open the airway, artificial ventilation must
be attempted immediately. If ventilation is inadequate, one of the "thrust" methods of clearing the airway
must be performed, followed by another attempt of artificial ventilation.
MOUTH-TO-MOUTH.To perform this method of ventilation, clear the victim's mouth of
obstructions (false teeth and foreign matter), place one hand under the victim's neck and the heel of the
other hand on the forehead, and, using the thumb and index finger, pinch the nostrils shut. Tilt the head
back to open the airway. Take a deep breath, cover the victim's mouth with your own, and blow into the
victim's mouth. Then remove your mouth from the victim's to allow the victim to exhale. Observe the
victim's chest for movement. If the victim has not started to breathe normally, start artificial ventilation
with four quick ventilation in succession, allowing the lungs to only partially inflate. If the victim still
does not respond, then you must fully inflate the victim's lungs at the rate of 12 TO 15 VENTILATIONS
PER MINUTE, or ONE BREATH EVERY 5 SECONDS.
MOUTH-TO-NOSE.This type ventilation is effective when the victim has extensive facial or
dental injuries or is very young, as it permits an effective air seal.
To administer this method, place the heel of one hand on the victim's forehead and use the other
hand to lift the jaw. After sealing the victim's lips, take a deep breath, place your lips over the victim's
nose, and blow. Observe the chest for movement and place your ear next to the victim's nose to listen for,
or feel, air exchange. Again, you must continue your efforts at the rate of 12 to 15 ventilation per minute,
or one breath every 5 seconds, until the victim can breathe without assistance.
NOTE: Sometimes during artificial ventilation, air enters the stomach instead of the lungs. This
condition is called GASTRIC DISTENTION. It can be relieved by moderate pressure exerted with a flat
hand between the navel and rib cage. Before applying pressure, turn the victim's head to the side to
prevent choking on stomach contents that are often brought up during the process.
BACK PRESSURE ARM LIFT.This method is an alternate technique used when other methods
are not possible. Place the victim on the stomach, face to one side, neck hypo-extended, with hands under
the head. Quickly clear the mouth of any foreign matter. Kneel at the victim's head and place your hands
on the victim's back so that the heels of the hands lie just below a line between the armpits, with thumbs
touching and fingers extending downward and outward. Rock forward, keeping your arms straight, and
exert pressure almost directly downward on the victim's back, forcing air out of the lungs. Then rock
backward, releasing the pressure and grasping the arms just above the elbows. Continue to rock
backward, pulling the arms upward and inward (toward the head) until resistance and tension in the
victim's shoulders are noted. This expands the chest, causing active intake of air (inspiration). Rock
forward and release the victim's arms. This causes passive exiting of air (expiration). Repeat the cycle of
press, release, lift, and release 10 to 12 times a minute until the victim can breathe naturally.
Cardiac Arrest and Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation
Cardiac arrest is the complete stoppage of heart function. If the victim is to live, action must be taken
immediately to restore heart function.

1-5

In this situation, the immediate administration of cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) by a rescuer

using correct procedures greatly increases the chances of a victim's survival. To be effective, CPR must
be started within 4 minutes of the onset of cardiac arrest. CPR consists of external heart compression and
artificial ventilation. This compression is performed on the outside of the chest, and the lungs are
ventilated either by mouth-to-mouth or mouth-to-nose techniques. The victim should be lying on a firm
surface.
CAUTION
A rescuer who has not been properly trained should not attempt CPR.
Everyone who works around electricity should be trained. (To learn CPR, consult a
hospital corpsman.) Improperly done, CPR can cause serious damage. Therefore, it
is never practiced on a healthy individual for training purposes; a training aid is
used instead.
ONE RESCUER TECHNIQUE.If a cardiac arrest is not witnessed, the rescuer must not assume
that an arrest has occurred solely because the victim is lying on the floor and appears to be unconscious.
First, try to arouse the victim. You can try shaking the victim's shoulders gently to obtain a response.
Next, quickly check vital signs; if there is no response, apply artificial ventilation. Establish an open
airway and ventilate the victim four times. Check the carotid (neck) pulse as shown in figure 1-1. If no
pulse is felt and there are no visible signs of breathing, start CPR immediately.

Figure 1-1.Feeling for the carotid pulse

To start external cardiac compression, place the victim on the back, establish an open airway, and
kneel at right angles to the victim's body. Then locate the victim's sternum (breastbone). You have a
choice of two methods of doing this. One method is to bare the chest and locate the sternum by drawing
an imaginary line from one nipple to the other to identify the proper area of the sternum, which is
darkened in figure 1-2. The other method is to locate the lower tip of the sternum with the index and
middle fingers, placing the heels of your hands above your fingers in the darkened area.

1-6

Figure 1-2.Locating the sternum.

There is a small piece of cartilage at the lower end of the sternum (figure 1-2). A fracture of this area
can damage the liver, causing hemorrhage (heavy bleeding) and death. When you place the heels of your
hands on the victim's chest, make sure they are above the tip of the sternum.
Place the heel of one hand directly on the sternum and the heel of the other on top of the first. Figure
1-3, view A, shows this technique. Interlock your fingers and keep them off the victim's chest!

Figure 1-3.Position for cardiac compression.

1-7

Lean or rock forward with elbows locked, and apply vertical pressure to depress the sternum (adult)
1 1/2 to 2 inches. View B depicts this. Then release the pressure, keeping hands in place. Administer 60 to
80 compressions per minute.
You will feel less fatigue if you use the proper technique, and a more effective compression will
result.
Ineffective compression occurs when the elbows are not locked, the rescuer is not directly over the
sternum, or the hands are improperly placed on the sternum.
When one rescuer performs CPR, as shown in figure 1-4, the ratio of compressions to ventilations is
15 to 2. After 15 compressions, you must give the victim 2 ventilations. This ratio must continue for four
full cycles. Then check for pulse and breathing. If there are still no signs of recovery, continue CPR until
the victim can breathe unassisted or you are relieved by medical personnel.

Figure 1-4.One rescuer CPR technique.

Before reviewing the next technique, let's go over the steps to take in an unwitnessed cardiac arrest
involving one rescuer.
1. Determine whether the victim is conscious.
2. Check the vital signs.
3. Ventilate four times (you may have to remove an airway obstruction at this time!).
4. Again check the vital signs; if none:
a. Begin compression-ventilation rate of 15 to 2 for four complete cycles.
b. Check pulse, breathing, and pupils. If no change
c. Continue compression-ventilation rate of 15 to 2 until victim is responsive or you are
relieved by medical personnel.
1-8

TWO RESCUER TECHNIQUE.If two people trained in CPR are on the scene, one must
perform compressions while the other performs artificial ventilation. The ratio for two-person CPR is 5
compressions to 1 ventilation. One rescuer is positioned at the chest area and the other beside the victim's
head. The rescuers should be on opposite sides of the victim.
To avoid confusion, one rescuer must be designated the leader. The leader must make the
preliminary checks of the victim's vital signs and perform the initial four ventilations. The second rescuer
will perform the compressions.
When CPR is started, the compressions should be given in a constant, methodical rhythm. The
rescuer giving the compressions counts them out loud. As the fifth compression is released, the other
rescuer ventilates the victim. The compressions should be continued while ventilation is being given.
Hemorrhage
Blood is circulated throughout the body by means of three different kinds of blood vessels: arteries,
veins, and capillaries. Arteries are large vessels that carry the blood away from the heart; veins are large
vessels that carry the blood back to the heart; and capillaries form a connecting network of smaller vessels
between the arteries and the veins.
Hemorrhage (escape of blood) occurs whenever there is a break in the wall of one or more blood
vessels. In most small cuts, only capillaries are injured. Deeper wounds result in injury to veins or
arteries. Bleeding which is severe enough to endanger life seldom occurs except when arteries or veins
are cut.
The average adult body contains about 5 quarts (4.75 liters) of blood. One pint of blood can usually
be lost without harmful effectin fact, this is the amount usually given by blood donors. However, the
loss of 2 pints (.95 liter) will usually cause shock; shock becomes greater and greater as the amount of
blood loss increases (shock will be discussed later in this chapter). If half the blood in the body is lost,
death almost always results.
Capillary blood is usually brick red in color. If capillaries are cut, the blood oozes out slowly. Blood
from veins is dark red. If a vein is cut, the blood escapes in a steady, even flow. If an artery near the
surface is cut, the blood will gush out in spurts that are synchronized with the heartbeats; but if the cut
artery is deeply buried, the bleeding will appear to be a steady stream. Arterial blood is usually bright red
in color.
In actual practice, you might find it difficult to decide whether bleeding is from a vein or an artery;
but the distinction is not usually important. The important thing to know is that bleeding must be
controlled as quickly as possible.
METHODS OF CONTROLLING BLEEDING.The only way to stop serious bleeding is by the
application of pressure. In practically all cases, bleeding can be stopped if PRESSURE is applied
DIRECTLY TO THE WOUND. If direct pressure does not stop the bleeding, pressure should be
applied at the appropriate pressure point. In those very rare cases where bleeding is so severe that it
cannot be controlled by either of these methods, pressure can be applied by means of a tight, constricting
band called a tourniquet.
PROCEDURES.The actual procedures you should use to stop bleeding are detailed in the
following paragraphs:
Direct Pressure.In almost every case, bleeding can be stopped by the application of pressure
directly on the wound. Figure 1-5 is an example of direct pressure. Place a dressing (sterile or clean, if
1-9

possible) over the wound and firmly fasten it in position with a bandage. If bleeding does not stop, firmly
secure another dressing over the first, or apply direct pressure with your hand to the dressing.

Figure 1-5.Direct pressure.

In cases of severe hemorrhage, do not worry too much about the dangers of infection. The basic
problem is to stop the flow of blood. If no material is available, simply apply pressure with your bare
hand. Remember, DIRECT PRESSURE is the first method to use when you are trying to control
hemorrhage.
Pressure Points.Bleeding from a cut artery or vein may often be controlled by pressure applied to
the appropriate pressure point. A pressure point is a place where the main artery to the injured part lies
near the skin surface and over a bone. Pressure at such a point is applied with the fingers (digital pressure)
or with the hand; no first aid materials are required. The object of the pressure is to compress the artery
against the bone, thus shutting off the flow of blood from the heart to the wound.
There are 11 principal points on each side of the body where hand or finger pressure can be used to
stop hemorrhage. These points are shown in figure 1-6.

1-10

Figure 1-6.Pressure points for control of bleeding.

You should memorize these pressure points so that you will know immediately which point to use
for controlling hemorrhage from a particular part of the body. The correct pressure point is the one that is
1-11

(1) NEAREST THE WOUND and (2) BETWEEN THE WOUND AND THE MAIN PART OF
THE BODY.
Applying finger pressure is very tiring, and it can seldom be maintained for more than 15 minutes.
Pressure points are recommended for use while direct pressure is being applied to a serious wound. While
pressure is being applied at the appropriate pressure point, an assistant can bandage the wound (or
wounds). If available, a battle dressing should be used. Figure 1-7 shows the battle dressing and its use.
After opening the dressing, be careful not to contaminate it. Place the compress portion over the wound,
then bind it tightly in place with the attached straps. If bleeding continues to be severe even after direct
pressure and pressure points have been used, you may have to apply a tourniquet.

Figure 1-7.Battle dressing.

Use of the Tourniquet.A tourniquet is a constricting band that is used to cut off the supply of
blood to an injured limb. It cannot be used to control bleeding from the head, neck, or trunk, since its use
in these locations would result in greater injury or death. A tourniquet should be used only if the control
of hemorrhage by other means proves to be impossible.
Basically, a tourniquet consists of a pad, a band, and a device for tightening the band so that the
blood vessels will be compressed. There are several different kinds of ready-made tourniquets. A variety
of materials can be used to improvise tourniquets. Any round, smooth pressure object may be used for the
pad a compress, a roller bandage, a stone, a rifle shell and any long, flat material may be used as the
band. However, the band must be flat: belts, stockings, flat strips of rubber, or neckerchiefs can be used;
but rope, wire, string, or very narrow pieces of cloth should not be used because they will cut into the
flesh. A short stick may be used to twist the band, thus tightening the tourniquet.
A tourniquet must always be applied above the wound that is, toward the body and it must be
applied as close to the wound as practicable.
The best object to be used for the pad is either a bandage, a compress, or some similar pressure
object. The pad goes under the band. It must be placed directly over the artery, or it will actually decrease
the pressure on the artery and thus allow greater flow of blood. If a tourniquet placed over a pressure
object does not stop the bleeding, the pressure object is probably in the wrong place. If this occurs, shift
1-12

the object around until the tourniquet, when tightened, will control the bleeding. If no suitable pressure
object is available, use the tourniquet without it.
To apply an emergency tourniquet made from something like a neckerchief, wrap the material once
around the limb and tie an overhand knot; place a short stick on the overhand knot and tie a square knot
over it. Then twist the stick rapidly to tighten the tourniquet. The stick may be tied in place with another
strip of material. Figure 1-8 shows how to apply a tourniquet.

Figure 1-8.Applying a tourniquet.

To be effective, a tourniquet must be tight enough to stop the blood flowing to the limb. If the
pressure from the tourniquet is less than the arterial pressure, arterial bleeding will continue. Also,
insufficient tourniquet pressure may actually increase the amount of bleeding from the veins. So be sure
to draw the tourniquet tight enough to stop the bleeding. However, do not make it any tighter than
necessary.
After you have brought the bleeding under control with the tourniquet, apply a sterile compress or
dressing to the wound and fasten it in position with a bandage.
CAUTION
NEVER apply a tourniquet unless the hemorrhage is so severe that it cannot
be controlled in any other way. By the time the tourniquet is required, the victim
will have lost a considerable amount of blood; therefore, once a tourniquet has been
applied, it should be released only by medical personnel.
Here are the points to remember when you use a tourniquet:

Do not use a tourniquet unless you cannot control the bleeding by any other means.

Do not use a tourniquet for bleeding from the head, face, neck, or trunk. Use it only on the limbs.

Always apply a tourniquet above the wound and as close to the wound as possible.

1-13

Be sure you draw the tourniquet tight enough to stop the bleeding, but do not make it any tighter
than necessary.

Do not loosen a tourniquet after it has been applied except in extreme emergency.

Do not cover a tourniquet with a dressing. If you must cover the injured person in some way,
make sure that all other people concerned with the case know about the tourniquet. Using
crayon, magic marker, or blood, mark a large T on the victim's forehead or on a medical tag
attached to the wrist.

Shock
If you've ever hit your finger with a hammer and felt in addition to the pain weak, dizzy, and
nauseous, then you have experienced a mild form of shock. In such an instance, the symptoms appear
immediately after the injury; but they may not show up for several hours.
Shock is a condition in which blood circulation is seriously disturbed. Crushed or fractured bones,
burns, prolonged bleeding, and asphyxia all cause shock. It may be slight or it may be severe enough to
cause death. Because all injuries will result in some form of shock, you must learn its symptoms and
know how to treat the victim.
HOW TO RECOGNIZE SHOCK.A person who is going into shock may show quite a few signs
or symptoms, some of which are indicated in figure 1-9 and are discussed below. Remember, however,
that signs of shock do not always appear at the time of the injury; indeed, in many serious cases they may
not appear until hours later.

Figure 1-9.Symptoms of shock.

1-14

The symptoms of a person suffering from shock are caused, directly or indirectly, by the disturbance
of the circulation of the blood. The pulse is weak and rapid. Breathing is likely to be shallow, rapid, and
irregular, because the poor circulation of the blood affects the breathing center in the brain. The
temperature near the surface of the body is lowered because of the poor blood flow; so the face, arms, and
legs feel cold to the touch. Sweating is likely to be very noticeable. A person in shock is usually very
pale, but in some cases the skin may have a bluish or reddish color. As mentioned previously when we
were discussing electric shock, in the care of victims with dark skin, it may be necessary to rely primarily
on the color of the mucous membranes on the inside of the mouth or under the eyelid or under the nail
bed. A person in or going into shock has a bluish color to these membranes instead of a healthy pink. The
pupils of the eyes are usually dilated (enlarged).
A conscious person in shock may complain of thirst and have a feeling of weakness, faintness, or
dizziness. The victim may feel nauseous, restless, frightened, and/or anxious. As shock deepens, these
signs gradually disappear and the victim becomes less and less responsive to what is going on. Even pain
may not arouse the shock victim. Finally, the victim may become unconscious.
You will not likely see all these symptoms of shock in any one case. Some of them appear only in
late stages of shock when the disturbance of the blood flow has become so great that the person's life is in
serious danger. Sometimes the signs of shock may be disguised by other signs of injury. You must know
what symptoms indicate the presence of shock, but do not ever wait for symptoms to develop before
beginning the treatment for shock. Remember, EVERY SERIOUSLY INJURED PERSON IS
LIKELY TO DEVELOP SERIOUS SHOCK.
PREVENTION AND TREATMENT OF SHOCK.You should begin treatment for shock as
soon as possible. Prompt treatment may prevent the occurrence of shock or, if it has already developed,
prevent its reaching a critical point. Keep the victim lying down and warm. If conscious, the victim
should be encouraged and assured that expert medical help will arrive soon.
KEEP AN INJURED PERSON WARM ENOUGH FOR COMFORT, BUT DO NOT LET THE
VICTIM BECOME OVERHEATED.
The best position to use for the prevention or the treatment of shock is one which encourages the
flow of blood to the brain. If the injured person can be placed on his/her back on a bed, a cot, or a
stretcher, you can raise the lower end of the support about 12 inches so that the feet will be higher than
the head. The circumstances of the accident may prevent the use of a bed, a cot, or a stretcher. In such
cases, you might still be able to raise the feet and legs enough to help the blood flow to the brain.
Sometimes you can take advantage of a natural slope of ground and place the casualty so that the head is
lower than the feet.
In every case, of course, you will have to consider what type of injury is present before you can
decide on the best position. For example, a person with a chest wound may have so much trouble
breathing that you will have to raise the head slightly. If the face is flushed rather than pale, or if you have
any reason to suspect a head injury, do not raise the feet; instead, you should keep the head level with or
slightly higher than the feet. If the person has broken bones, you will have to judge what position would
be best both for the fractures and for shock. A fractured spine must be immobilized before the victim is
moved at all, if further injuries are to be avoided. If you have any doubts about the correct position to use,
have the victim lie flat on his/her back. THE BASIC POSITION FOR TREATING SHOCK IS ONE
IN WHICH THE HEAD IS LOWER THAN THE FEET. Do the best you can under the particular
circumstances to get the injured person into this position. In any case, never let a seriously injured person
sit, stand, or walk around.

1-15

Liquids should be administered sparingly, and not at all if medical attention will be available within
a short time. If necessary, small amounts of warm water, tea, or coffee may be given to a victim who is
conscious. Persons having serious burns are an exception. Burn victims require large amounts of fluids.
Water, tea, fruit juices, and sugar water may be given freely to a victim who is conscious, able to
swallow, and has no internal injuries. Slightly salted water is also beneficial. Alcohol must never be given
to a person in shock.
An injured person may or may not be in pain. The amount of pain felt depends in part on the person's
physical condition and the type of injury. Extreme pain, if not relieved, can increase the degree of shock.
Make the victim as comfortable as possible. Fractures should be immobilized and supported.
Immobilization greatly reduces, and sometimes eliminates, pain. Normally, you should not administer
drugs, but aspirin may be given for mild pain.
Heat is important in the treatment of shock to the extent that the injured person's body heat must be
conserved. Exposure to cold, with resulting loss of body heat, can cause shock to develop or to become
worse. You will have to judge the amount of covering to use by considering the weather and the general
circumstances of the accident. Often a light covering will be enough to keep the casualty comfortable.
Wet clothing should be removed and dry covering provided, even on a hot day. Use blankets or any dry
material to conserve body heat. Artificial means of warming (hot water bottles, heated bricks, heated
sand) should not ordinarily be used. Artificial heat may cause loss of body fluids (by sweating) and it
brings the blood closer to the surface, thus defeating the body's own efforts to supply blood to the vital
organs and to the brain. Also, the warming agent may burn the victim.
Burns
The seriousness of a burn depends on two factors: the extent of the burned area and the depth of the
burn. Shock can be expected from burns involving 15 percent or more of the body. Burns involving 20
percent endanger life. Without adequate treatment, burns of over 30 percent are usually fatal. The depth
of the injury determines whether it is a first, second, or third degree burn.
First degree burns are mildest. Symptoms are slight pain, redness, tenderness, and increased
temperature of the affected area.
Second degree burns are more serious. The inner skin may be damaged, resulting in blistering,
severe pain, some dehydration, and possible shock.
Third degree burns are worst of all. The skin is destroyed, and possibly also the tissue and muscle
beneath it. The skin may be charred, or it may be white and lifeless (from scalds). After the initial injury,
pain may be less severe because of destroyed nerve ends. The person may have chills. Some form of
shock will result.
Probably the most important aspect is the extent of the burned area. A first degree burn covering a
large area could be more serious than a small third degree burn. A sunburn, for example, ranging from
mild to serious, is easily obtained, particularly if you are not accustomed to the exposure. If you were to
fall asleep while sunbathing, second degree burns, or even third degree burns of a possibly fatal nature,
could result.
The most effective immediate treatment of burns and of pain is to immerse the burned area in cold
water or to apply cold compresses if immersion is impracticable. Cold water not only minimizes pain, but
also reduces the burning effect in the deeper layers of the skin. Gently pat dry the area with lint-free cloth
or gauze. Aspirin is also effective for the relief of pain. Continue treatment until no pain is felt when the
burned area is exposed to the air.

1-16

Burn victims require large amounts of water, which should be slightly salted. Because of the nature
of the injury, most burns are sterile. The best treatment for uninfected burns, therefore, is merely to
protect the area by covering it with the cleanest (preferably sterile) dressing available. Never apply
ointments to a burn nor use petrolatum gauze.
Do not attempt to break blisters or to remove shreds of tissue or adhered particles of charred
clothing. Never apply a greasy substance (butter, lard, or petroleum jelly), antiseptic preparations, or
ointments. These may cause further complications and interfere with later treatment by medical
personnel.
Heatstroke
Sunstroke is more accurately called heatstroke since a person does not have to be exposed to the sun
for this condition to develop. It is a less common but far more serious condition than heat exhaustion,
since it carries a 20 percent fatality rate. The main feature of heatstroke is the extremely high body
temperature, 105 F (41 C) or higher, that accompanies it. In heatstroke, the victim has a breakdown of
the sweating mechanism and is unable to eliminate excessive body heat built up while exercising. If the
body temperature rises too high, the brain, kidneys, and liver may be permanently damaged.
Sometimes the victim may have preliminary symptoms, such as headache, nausea, dizziness, or
weakness. Breathing will be deep and rapid at first, later shallow and almost absent. Usually the victim
will be flushed, very dry, and very hot. The pupils will be constricted (pinpoint) and the pulse fast and
strong. Figure 1-10 compares these symptoms with those of heat exhaustion.

Figure 1-10.Symptoms of heatstroke and heat exhaustion.

When you provide first aid for heatstroke, remember that this is a true life-and-death emergency. The
longer the victim remains overheated, the higher the chances of irreversible body damage or even death
occurring. First aid treatment for heatstroke is designed to reduce body heat.
Reduce body heat immediately by dousing the body with cold water, or applying wet, cold towels to
the whole body. Move the victim to the coolest possible place and remove as much clothing as possible.
Maintain an open airway. Place the victim on his/her back, with the head and shoulders slightly raised. If
cold packs are available, place them under the arms, around the neck, at the ankles, and in the groin.
Expose the victim to a fan or air-conditioner since drafts will promote cooling. Immersing the victim in a
cold water bath is also effective. Give the victim (if conscious) cool water to drink. Do not give any hot

1-17

drinks or stimulants. Get the victim to a medical facility as soon as possible. Cooling measures must be
continued while the victim is being transported.
Heat Exhaustion
Heat exhaustion (heat prostration or heat collapse) is the most common condition caused by working
or exercising in hot spaces. Heat exhaustion produces a serious disruption of blood flow to the brain,
heart, and lungs. This causes the victim to experience weakness, dizziness, headache, loss of appetite, and
nausea.
Signs and symptoms of heat exhaustion are similar to those of shock: the victim will appear ashen
gray; the skin will be cold, moist, and clammy; and the pupils of the eyes may be dilated (enlarged). The
vital (blood pressure, temperature, pulse, and respiration) signs usually are normal; however, the victim
may have a weak pulse together with rapid and shallow breathing. Body temperature may be below
normal.
You should treat heat exhaustion victims as if they were in shock. Loosen the clothing, apply cool
wet cloths, move the victim to either a cool or an air-conditioned area, and fan the victim. Do not allow
the person to become chilled. If the victim is conscious, administer a solution of 1 teaspoon of salt
dissolved in a quart of cool water. If the victim vomits, do not give any more fluids. Transport the victim
to a medical facility as soon as possible.

HELPFUL INFORMATION
The second part of this handbook has been compiled to provide the technician with a collection of
helpful information. Included are many commonly used formulas, data tables, and general maintenance
hints used in, with, and around electricity.
BASIC ELECTRICAL FORMULAS
Basic electrical formulas are included to aid you in solving electrical problems. These formulas are
for capacitance, current, inductance, power, reactance, impedance, resistance, voltage, and transformers.
Additional formulas can be found in the appropriate NEETS module.
Capacitance
The property of an electrical device to store energy is CAPACITANCE. This energy is stored in a
way to oppose a change in voltage. A CAPACITOR is used to store this electrical energy. The FARAD
is the basic unit of measurement of capacitance.

The time to charge a capacitor to 63.2 percent of applied voltage or discharge it to 36.8 percent of its
initial voltage is known as the TIME CONSTANT (t) of the circuit. Figure 1-11 shows an RC time
constant chart. One time constant (t) in seconds equals R C, with R in ohms and C in farads.

CAUTION
Capacitors retain an electrical charge. Be sure to discharge all capacitors
and circuits containing capacitors before working on them.
A more detailed description of capacitors and capacitance can be found in NEETS, Module 2,
Introduction to Alternating Current and Transformers.
Current
Electrons (negative charges) move through a conductor when an electric field is applied. Electron
current is defined as the directed flow of electrons from negative to positive.
Current is measured in AMPERES (AMP). One amp of current flows when one coulomb (6.28
1018 electrons) passes a point in one second.
The Ohm's law formulas for current are:

1-21

Ac current formulas are:

Ohm's law for reactive circuits:

Ohm's law for circuits containing resistance and reactance:

Current across the primary (Ip) of a transformer:

Current across the secondary (Is):

NOTE
Human reaction to electrical shock is determined by the amount of current
flowing through the body. A 100-milliampere shock for 1 second is usually fatal!
More information about current can be found in NEETS, Module 1, Introduction to Matter, Energy,
and Direct Current.
1-22

Inductance
Inductance is the characteristic of an electrical conductor that opposes a change in electrical current.
The symbol for inductance is L and the basic unit of measurement is the HENRY(H).
An inductor has an inductance of 1 henry if an electromotive force (emf) of 1 volt is induced in the
inductor when the current through the inductor is changing at the rate of one ampere per second.
Mathematically:

Mutual inductance:

Provided the coefficient of coupling between inductors is zero.

Resistive/inductive circuit:
The time required for the current in an inductor to increase to 63.2 percent of its final value or
decrease to 36.8 percent is known as the time constant.
Mathematically expressed:

Current and Transformers.
Power
Electrical POWER pertains to the rate at which work is being done. Work is done whenever a force
causes motion. The instantaneous rate at which work is done is called the electric power rate and is
measured in WATTS.
Formulas for power in dc circuits are:

For ac circuits:
True power:

True power is measured in watts.

Another way to calculate reactive power is:

Reaction power:

Subtract the smaller from the larger:

Apparent power:

1-26

You can find more detailed information about power in NEETS, Module 2, Introduction to
Alternating Current and Transformers.
Reactance
REACTANCE is the result of the difference between the values of X C (capacitive reactance) and
XL (inductive reactance). Reactance is represented by the letter X and its basic measurement is in ohms.
The formula for reactance is:

If you want more detailed information on reactance, look in NEETS, Module 2, Introduction to
Alternating Current and Transformers.
Impedance
IMPEDANCE is the combined opposition of current flow by reactance and resistance and is
represented by the symbol Z.
Formulas for finding impedance:

1-27

Resistance
RESISTANCE is the opposition to current flow. It is measured in ohms and is represented by the
letter R.
Formulas for resistance:

Voltage
VOLTAGE exists when a charge exists between two bodies. When a one coulomb charge exists,
one unit of electrical potential energy is created. This is called a difference of potential, an electromotive
force, or a voltage. It is measured in volts and represented by the letter E.
Formulas for voltage:

Voltage across the primary of a transformer:

Voltage across the secondary of a transformer:

Transformers
A TRANSFORMER is a device that transfers electrical energy from one circuit to another by
electromagnetic induction (transformer action). Voltage induced into the secondary from the primary is
determined by the turns ratio.

1-30

WARNING
Transformers are often used to STEP-UP voltage. You may find a low
voltage across the primary and a much higher voltage across the secondary. Use
extreme caution, especially when working around television and other crt high
voltage transformers. They often step voltages up to, or in excess of, 30,000 volts.
BASIC ELECTRONICS FORMULAS
Basic electronics formulas are included to aid you in solving any electronics problem that you may
encounter. These formulas are for antennas, resonance, transistors, vacuum tubes, wavelength, and radar.
Additional formulas may be found in the appropriate NEETS module.
Antennas
An antenna is a conductor or a group of conductors used either for radiating electromagnetic energy
into space or collecting it from space or both.
Antenna gain remains the same for the antenna whether it is transmitting or receiving. Antenna gain
(G) can be described as the effectiveness of a directional antenna in a particular direction, compared to a
standard or reference antenna. Some antenna formulas are shown below:

1-31

WARNING
Rf voltages may be induced in ungrounded metal objects such as wire guys,
wire cables (hawsers), handrails, or ladders. You could receive a shock or rf burn if
you come in contact with these objects. Obtain proper permission prior to going
topside or "working aloft."
Rf burns are usually deep, penetrating, and third degree. They must heal
from the inside out. If you are burned, seek medical attention. A person in an RF
field will usually have a body temperature rise. The eyes and reproductive organs
are especially susceptible to RF energy. Read and heed all warning signs!
You can find more information about antennas in NEETS, Module 10, Introduction to Wave
Propagation, Transmission Lines, and Antennas.

1-32

Resonance
RESONANCE is a condition that exists in a circuit when inductance, capacitance, and the applied
frequency are such that inductive reactance and capacitive reactance cancel each other.
Formula for resonant frequency (fr):

NOTE: The formula for resonance is the same for series or parallel circuits when XL = X C.
Transistors
Semiconductor devices that have three or more elements are called TRANSISTORS. The term is
derived from TRANSfer and resISTOR. This term describes the operation of the transistor the transfer
of an input signal current from a low-resistance circuit to a high-resistance circuit.
Some transistor formulas are shown below.
Transistor total current:

1-33

Alpha is always less than 1 for a common base configuration.

TRANSISTOR RUGGEDNESS.Transistors are generally more rugged mechanically than

electron tubes. They are susceptible to damage by electrical overloads, heat, humidity, and radiation.
Unless you are careful, damage can occur during maintenance.
DAMAGE PREVENTION.To prevent damage and avoid electrical shock, use the following
precautions when working on transistorized equipment:

Check your test equipment and soldering irons for leakage current from the power source. If
leakage current exists, use an isolation transformer to eliminate the current.

1-34

Connect a ground between the test equipment and circuit under test.

Do not exceed the maximum allowable voltages for circuit components and transistors.

Ohmmeter ranges that require more than one milliampere should not be used for testing
transistors.

Battery eliminators should not be used to furnish power for transistorized equipment. They have
poor voltage regulation.

The heat applied to a transistor, when soldered connections are required, should be kept to a
minimum by the use of low-wattage soldering irons and heat shunts or heat sinks.

When replacing transistors, never pry them from the printed circuit board.

Check all circuits for defects before replacing transistors.

Remove power from the equipment prior to replacing a transistor.

Use extreme care when using test probes on a transistorized circuit. It is easy to short across
adjacent terminals with conventional probes. Try insulating the probe tips and leaving a very
short section of the point exposed.

You can find more about transistors in NEETS, Module 7, Introduction to Solid-State Devices and
Power Supplies.
Vacuum Tubes
The characteristics of a vacuum tube are measured by two factors: AMPLIFICATION FACTOR,
mu (), and TRANSCONDUCTANCE (gm).
Formula for amplification factor:

Formula for transconductance (gm) is:

Information on vacuum tubes can be found in NEETS, Module 6, Introduction to Electronic

Emission, Tubes, and Power Supplies.

1-35

CAUTION
Because vacuum tubes become hot and most are made of glass, use caution
while removing or replacing them. Use vacuum tube pullers or at least wear some
type of hand protection.
Wavelength
Wavelength is the distance in space occupied by one cycle of a radio wave at any given instant. If a
radio wave could be frozen in time and measured, the distance from the leading edge of one cycle to the
leading edge of the next cycle would be the wavelength. Wavelength varies from a few hundredths of an
inch at the high frequencies to many miles at extremely low frequencies. Common practice is to express
wavelength in meters. The Greek letter lambda () is used to signify wavelength. Formulas for
wavelength, period, and velocity are shown below.
Wavelength formula:

Frequency formula:

You can find more information on wavelength, frequency, period, and velocity in NEETS, Module
10, Introduction to Wave Propagation, Transmission Lines, and Antennas.

1-36

Radar
Some helpful radar information/formulas are shown below.

PW

Pulse WidthThe width of the transmitted RF pulse from the radar

(the term can also be used regarding other non-RF information).

PRT

Pulse Repetition TimeThe duration of the time between radar

transmitter pulses (leading edge of pulse to leading edge of the next
pulse).

PRR or
PRF

PRF Pulse Repetition Rate or Pulse Repetition Frequencythe

number of pulses that occur during one second.

DC

Duty CycleThe amount of actual transmitter pulse time (PW)

divided by the amount of transmitter total time (PRT). For radar
applications, the duty cycle will always be less than one.

Ppk

Power Peak (normally referenced in kilowatts)The actual power of

the transmitted RF pulse (PW).

Pavg

Average Power (normally referenced in watts)The transmitted

power relative to one PRT.

1-37

Minimum radar range = (pulse width + *recovery time) 164 yards

*In most modern radar systems, recovery time is negligible and does not need to be considered when
figuring minimum radar range.

Radar range resolution (in yards) = pulse width 164 yards per microsecond.
When you use the term decibel (dB), you are referring to a logarithmic comparison between two
signals, usually the output and the input. In power measurement applications, however, a reference of 0
dBm equalling 1 milliwatt is usually used. The term dBm is used to represent power levels above, below,
or at 1 milliwatt.
The following formulas are used for figuring dB:

In circuits where impedances may vary:

DATA TABLES
Data tables are provided for reference. Information in the tables are the usually accepted standards.
Various military standards have also been used to provide these tables.
Capacitor Identification
Two methods of capacitor identification are used. The first is the typographical method, and the
second is the color code method. Typographically marked identification will be discussed first. It is the
type marking where a number is printed on the capacitor. You should note that on different physical styles
of capacitors, the printed number may be in either microfarads or picofarads. Two styles of capacitors
have been selected from Military Standard 198E (MIL-STD-198E) to show how the part number stamped
on the capacitor is broken down.
Table 1-1 shows the CB style of capacitor part number breakdown.

example, if you need a 3.3 pF, 500 VDC capacitor in the CYR10 style, with a failure rate (FR) of 1
percent per 1,000 hours, the part number would be M23269/01-3009.

Military Standard 198E (MIL-STD-198E) contains information concerning capacitors and should be
helpful in selecting any replacement.
Resistor Identification
This section contains information that will aid you in identifying the specifications indicated on
resistors.

1-49

Figure 1-18.Resistor color code.

Table 1-6 is a resistor selection chart. As an example, let's suppose you need a 1-watt, composition
resistor. Look under the "type" heading to find composition. Then look under the "power and max voltage
ratings" headings to find 1W/500V. The style you select should be RCR32. This is the first part of the part
number. To find the last part of the desired part number, the ohmic value, refer to table 1-7, the resistor
type designation part number breakdown.
Tables 1-6 and 1-7 are excerpts from Military Standard 199C(MIL-STD-199C) and are included as
examples of the information contained in MIL-STD-199C. If another type of resistor is needed, the
complete part number breakdown can be located in MIL-STD-199C.

1/ The order of listing of cables for general application data has no significant meaning for their usage.
2/ Many cables are manufactured in variations of armored, unarmored, and unarmored with overall
shielding.

Table 1-10 provides data on the allowable temperature ratings and current-carrying capacities (in
amperes) of some single copper conductors in free air at a maximum ambient temperature of 86 F (30
C). With temperatures greater than 86 F, the current-carrying capacity would be less.

Connectors
General purpose connectors and rf connectors are covered in this section. We'll cover the general
purpose connectors first.
General purpose connectors were formerly designated with the prefix "AN." You may find older
connectors with this prefix. The superseding connector has the same part number except the "AN" has
been replaced by "MS." Table 1-13 shows the method used to break down a connector for identification.
This breakdown is for MIL-C-5015 connectors. Identification breakdown for other MIL-C connectors can
be found in Naval Shore Electronics Criteria, Installation Standards and Practices, NAVELEX 0280LP-900-8000.

Supply information on connectors can be found in NAVSUP Publication 4400, Afloat Shopping
Guide, under federal supply classification (FSC) 5935.
Insert arrangements for MS type connectors, MIL-C-5015, are shown in figure 1-23. Alternate
positions of connector inserts are shown in figure 1-24.

MIL-C-5015, MIL-C-26482, and MIL-C-26500 connectors are designated with an MS number such
as MS3101. MIL-C-81511, MIL-C-83723, and other later specifications identify the connector by the
specification number, a slash, and the connector number. For example: MIL-C-81511/3.
Rf connectors and coaxial cable assemblies are used to carry radio frequency (rf) power from one
point to another with a known rate of loss. Rf connectors are available as plugs, jacks, panel jacks, and
receptacles. Plugs and jacks are attached to the ends of coaxial cables; panel jacks and receptacles are
mounted to panels and chassis.
Baby N connector (BNC) series connectors are small, lightweight, and feature a quick
connect/disconnect, bayonet-lock coupling. The connectors use small rf cables such as RG-58/U or RG59/U and operate up to peak voltages of 500 volts. Manufacture is under Military Specification C-3608A
(MIL-C-3608A). Figure 1-25 shows three typical BNC connectors. Figure 1-26 shows you how to attach
BNC connectors to coaxial cable. Table 1-14 indicates which BNC connector to use with what coaxial
cable type.

HN series connectors have a 50-ohm impedance and threaded coupling connectors designed for
high-voltage applications. These connectors are weatherproof. The frequency range is 0-4 gigahertz. The
HN series is used with medium size coaxial cable such as RG-8/U, RG-9/U, RG-87/U, RG-213/U, RG214/U, and RG-225/U. Figure 1-27 shows three typical HN connectors. Figure 1-28 shows how HN
connectors are attached to coaxial cable. Table 1-15 indicates which HN connector to use with what
coaxial cable type.
N series connectors are low-voltage, 50-ohm, threaded coupling connectors designed for use with
small and medium size rf cable. They have a 1,000 volts peak rating and are weatherproof. There is a
group of N series connectors that are 70 ohms and are numbered UG-98A/U and UG-96A/U. These 70ohm N connectors are designed for cables such as RG-61C, RG-11/U, and RG-13/U. The 70-ohm
connectors will not mate with 50-ohm connectors of this series. Figure 1-29 shows three typical N series
connectors. Figure 1-30 illustrates the method used to attach N connectors to coaxial cable. Table 1-16
shows which N connector to use with what rf cable type.

Insulation, Heat Shrinkable Sleeving (Shrink, Tubing), and Cable Straps

Heat shrinkable sleeving is intended for use as a snug-fitting electrical insulator. It is used to insulate
wire bundles, splices, bus bars, connectors, terminals, metal, or fibrous tubing. It is also used as extra
insulation over hotspot areas and as a cable blast shield in rocket launchings. Heat shrinkable sleeving is
found under Military Specification I-23053C (MIL-1-23053C). Part numbers under this military
specification are coded as follows:

Commercial fuse identification and a fuse cross-reference can be found in NEETS, Module 3,
Introduction to Circuit Protection, Control, and Measurement; and in Military Standard 1360A (MILSTD-1360A). These will assist you in selecting or identifying fuses.
Circuit breakers are too numerous to cover in this text. They are used in houses, vehicles, ships, and
airplanes. Military Standard 1498 (MIL-STD-1498) contains information to help you select or identify
circuit breakers.
Classification of Rf Emissions
The system of designating rf emissions is arranged according to modulation type, mode, and
supplementary characteristics. For example: A3B indicates amplitude modulation, telephony, two
independent sidebands, and a suppressed carrier. Table 1-23 will assist you in breaking down the
emission classification code.

Frequency Spectrum Designation

The complete spectrum of communications frequencies is broken down into ranges or bands. The
United States practice is to designate a two- or three-letter abbreviation for the name. The practice of the
International Telecommunications Union (ITU) is to designate a number. Table 1-25 shows the bands and
their designators. Table 1-26 indicates the frequency spectrum broken down as to usage.

Joint Electronic Type Designation System (JETDS)

This system, formerly known as the Joint Army-Navy (AN) nomenclature system, was designed so
that a common designation could be used for all the services' equipment. Figure 1-36 shows you how to
identify equipment in the JETDS (AN) System.

Windchill Factor
The windchill factor is a computation of the still-air temperature that would have the same cooling
effect on exposed human skin as a given combination of temperature and wind speed. You should use
table 1-37 as a computation chart to figure windchill factor.

1-120

Table 1-37.Windchill Factors

Effects of Heat and Humidity

Humidity combines with heat to create a more uncomfortable apparent temperature. By using table
1-38 you can figure the apparent temperature caused by various combinations of air temperature and
humidity. Remember, in heat waves the apparent temperatures may run 15 to 30 degrees higher in more
humid areas.

1-121

Table 1-38.Effects of Heat and Humidity

When apparent temperatures are between 90 and 105 degrees, heat cramps, heat exhaustion, and
heatstroke are possible after prolonged exposure and physical activity. These become likely when
apparent temperatures are between 105 and 130 degrees. Over 130 degrees, heatstroke is imminent. You
should note that heatstroke can be fatal if medical care is delayed.
GENERAL MAINTENANCE
The general maintenance section provides you with information on cleaning solvents, lubricants,
corrosion control, use of the oscilloscope, troubleshooting, classes of overhaul, and types of equipment
modifications. It also provides information such as material identification, names of organizations that
provide outside technical assistance, and publications and documents that will assist you in day-to-day
maintenance.
Corrosion Control (Cleaning and Lubricating)
A corrosive atmosphere can damage unprotected electric and electronic equipment. You should be
aware of the harmful effects of moisture and, in particular, salt spray and salt-impregnated air. To prevent
corrosion, you should maintain an effective cleaning and lubricating schedule. Standard preventive
maintenance (PMS) procedures provide only minimum protection. Any schedule should include dusting
and cleaning, lubrication of moving parts, and the use of approved solvents or wetting agents to remove
any dust, dirt, oil film, salt, or other contaminant.
Table 1-39 is a list of standard Navy lubricants and solvents and their uses, as specified in Military
Standard 454M (MIL-STD-454M).

Remember to use the proper safety precautions applicable to toxic, volatile solvents and flammable
lubricants. You can refer to Naval Ships' Technical Manual (NSTM), Chapter 670, Stowage, Handling,
and Disposal of Hazardous General Use Consumables, NAVSEA S9086-WK-STM-000.
Using the Oscilloscope
An oscilloscope can be used for more than just studying the shape of a waveform. By looking at
lissajous patterns and using an octopus, you can compare the phase and frequency relationship of two
signals and check electronic components in a circuit.
LISSAJOUS PATTERNS.The simplest lissajous patterns are produced by two sine waves of the
same frequency and amplitude being applied to the horizontal and vertical deflection voltage inputs of an
oscilloscope. Figure 1-37 shows patterns for several common phase relationships. These can be used to
estimate the approximate phase angle of the two signals being studied.

1-126

Figure 1-37.Lissajous patterns, showing the effects of phase relationships.

Figure 1-38 will aid you in computing a phase angle if a more precise calculation is needed. We will
use the graticule on the oscilloscope, a ratio formula, and sine (sin) table to compute the angle.

1-127

Figure 1-38.Computation of phase angle.

To find the angle, we should first divide Y1 by Y2. We can then take that number, look it up in the
sine portion of table 1-35, and read the angle.
For example, let's let each graticule in figure 1-36 represent 1 centimeter. Then,

If we look for .5 in the sine column of table 1-35, we find that .5 is the value for the sine of 30
degrees.
The frequency ratio between two sine waves can also be determined from lissajous patterns. Figure
1-39 shows various frequency ratios between signals. Figure 1-40 and 1-41, views A, show how phase
relationship can affect these patterns. If tangent lines are drawn across the top and down the side of the
pattern, the ratio of points (free ends and loops) that touch these lines equals the frequency ratio. Figure 141 is an example of this method. Refer back to figure 1-39 and notice the relationship of loops and open
ends in each example. You can find more detailed information on lissajous patterns in the Electronics
Installation and Maintenance Book (EIMB), Test Methods and Practices, NAVSEA 0976-LP-000-0130.

THE OCTOPUS.The octopus is a small, homemade test set used with an oscilloscope to check
electronic components in circuit. It can be made easily and cheaply using parts from the supply system.
Figure 1-42 is a schematic of an octopus that uses either a 6.3-volt filament transformer or an audio
oscillator for input power. The benefits of in circuit troubleshooting with an octopus are (1) reduced
maintenance time, (2) less chance of damage from soldering-iron heat, and (3) a visual display of the
component's condition.

1-131

Figure 1-42.Octopus schematic diagram (typical).

The octopus tests all components for shorts, high resistance, and opens; it checks front-to-back ratios
on junction components (transistors and diodes); and it analyzes ICs and reactive components (capacitors
and inductors). Figure 1-43 shows some typical oscilloscope displays obtained when the octopus is used.
Figures 1-44, 1-45, and 1-46 depict transistor, potentiometer, and combination component displays,
respectively. Detailed operating procedures can be found in topic 6 of NEETS, Module 16, Introduction
to Test Equipment, and in the Electronic Installation and Maintenance Book (EIMB), Test Methods and
Practices, NAVSEA SE000-00-EIM-130.

Six-Step Troubleshooting Procedure

You may have the job of maintaining or helping to maintain some electrical or electronic unit,
subsystem, or system. Some of these jobs may be complex, but even a complex job can be broken down
into simple steps. Basically, any repair of electric or electronic equipment should be done in the following
order:
1. Symptom recognition. This is the action of recognizing some disorder or malfunction in
electronic equipment.
2. Symptom elaboration. Obtaining a more detailed description of the trouble symptom is the
purpose of this step.
3. Listing probable faulty functions. This step is applicable to equipment that contains more than
one functional area or unit. From the information you have gathered, where could the trouble
logically be located?
4. Localizing the faulty function. In this step you determine which of the functional units of the
multiunit equipment is actually at fault.

1-134

5. Localizing trouble to the circuit. You will do extensive testing in this step to isolate the trouble to
a specific circuit.
6. Failure analysis. This step is multipart. Here you determine which part is faulty, repair/replace
the part, determine what caused the failure, return the equipment to its proper operating status,
and record the necessary information in a recordkeeping book for other maintenance personnel
in the future. While not a part of this step, the technician should reorder any parts used in repair
of the faulty equipment.
Sometimes you may run into difficulty in finding (or troubleshooting) the problem. Some hints that
may help in your efforts are:

Observe the equipment's operation for any and all faults

Check for any defective components with your eyes and nose
Analyze the cause of the failure for a possible underlying problem

Classes of Overhaul Work

There are five classes of equipment overhaul (A, B, C, D, and E). The class defines the type and
scope of work to be done on each equipment by the overhauling activity. (Do not confuse equipment
overhaul with the term regular overhaul.)
CLASS A OVERHAUL.A class A overhaul includes overhaul, repair, and/or modification; for
example a modification could be an Ordnance Alteration (ORDALT), Special Program Alteration
(SPALT), Ship Alteration (SHIPALT), or a field change that will sustain or improve the performance of a
system or component to meet its most-recent design and technical specifications. The end product should
be like new in appearance and operation.
CLASS B OVERHAUL.A class B overhaul includes overhaul and repair that will restore the
performance of a system or component to its original design and technical specifications. Modifications
or alterations are not done unless specified by the customer.
CLASS C OVERHAUL.A class C overhaul includes only repair work on a system or component
specified by a work request or work required to correct malfunctions specified by the customer.
CLASS D OVERHAUL.A class D overhaul includes work related to the open, inspect and report
type of work request. It is intended to be diagnostic in nature and may require various tests. It is normally
associated with preoverhaul test and inspection (POT& I).
CLASS E OVERHAUL.A class E overhaul includes work required to incorporate all alterations
and/or modifications specified for a system or component.
Alterations and Modifications to Equipment
Alterations and modifications to shipboard systems and equipment may take several forms. Some of
these are Ship Alterations (SHIPALTS), Ordnance Alterations (ORDALTS), Special Program Alterations
(SPALTS), and Air Alterations (AIRALTS). These alterations (with the exception of electronic
equipment field changes) are categorized as follows:

1-135

A military alteration that changes or improves the operational or military characteristics of a

ship.

A technical alteration that generally concerns personnel safety and equipment effectiveness.

An alteration-equivalent-to-repair (AER) could be one of three types. One involves substitution,

without change in design, of approved, different material, available from standard stock. The
second involves replacement of worn or damaged parts, assemblies, or equipment with those of
later and more efficient design that have been approved by the responsible systems command.
The last type is used for strengthening of parts that need repair or replacement to improve the
reliability of the parts, provided no other change in design is involved.

ALTERATION RESPONSIBILITIES.Ship alterations (SHIPALTS) involve material under the

technical control of the Naval Sea Systems Command (NAVSEA). Alterations which affect shipboard
systems and equipment under the technical control of other systems commands; for example, air
alterations (AIRALTS), ordnance alterations (ORDALTS), and special program alterations (SPALTS),
are not SHIPALTS. However, they may require concurrent SHIPALTS if changes affect shipboard
system interface.
ELECTRONIC EQUIPMENT FIELD CHANGES.Field changes are identified by type and
class. The type depends on the material included in the change kit or furnished by the installing activity.
The class refers to the funding and the installation responsibility.
Details concerning various types of and approval authority for alterations can be found in the
Electronics Installation and Maintenance Book (EIMB), General, NAVSEA SE000-00-EIM-100.
Material Identification
At some time in your work, you will probably have to replace a defective part or component. If you
are familiar with national stock numbers (NSNs), Navy item control numbers (NICNs), part numbers
(PNs), and the Coordinated Shipboard Allowance List (COSAL), getting the replacement should be a
simple chore.
NATIONAL STOCK NUMBERS (NSNs).An NSN is a 13-digit stock number used to identify
an item of material in the Federal Catalog System of the Department of Defense. It consists of a four-digit
federal supply classification (FSC) and a nine-digit national item identification number (NIIN). The first
two digits of the FSC denote the group or major division of materials and the last two digits denote the
class of subdivision of material within a group.
Examples of groups are:
GROUP

TITLE

48
59
79

Bearings
Valves
Electrical and Electronic Systems Components
Cleaning supplies

1-136

A complete listing of groups is provided in NAVSUP P-485, Afloat Supply Procedures. The NIIN
consists of a two-digit national codification bureau (NCB) code and seven digits which, in conjunction
with the NCB code, uniquely identify each NSN item in the Federal Supply System. For example:

Two NCB codes are assigned for the United States, 00 and 01. Code 00 identifies all FSNs (11-digit
federal stock numbers used prior to NSNs) assigned prior to 31 March 1975. Code 01 identifies the
numbers assigned after that time. The NCBs must be included and be correct, or the material may be
rejected or you may receive the wrong material.
NAVY ITEM CONTROL NUMBERS (NICNs).Material not included in the Federal Catalog
System, but stocked or monitored in the Navy Supply System, are listed by 13-character Navy item
control numbers (NICNs). These NICNs are readily identified by a two-position alpha code which
signifies the type of NICN. This code and a seven-position alphanumeric uniquely identify each NICN
item in the Navy Supply System. NICN codes that are currently used and examples of NICNs follow:

Note: The permanent local control number can always be recognized by a C in the seventh position.
Parts can be ordered by using a NIIN or NICN.
PART NUMBERS (PNs).A part number (also known as reference number) may be used to
identify a material item or to assist you in finding the current NSN. Part numbers include old NSNs,
FSNs, electron tube type numbers, and electronic equipment circuit symbol numbers. Two other
important sources for reference numbers are manufacturers' part numbers and Navy drawing and piece
1-137

numbers. They can be easily converted to NSNs by using the Master Cross-Reference List (MCRL).
Table 1-44 shows excerpts from the MCRL. If the part or reference numbers do not cross to an NSN, the
P/N can be used to order the replacement. A good source of part numbers is the parts list in the equipment
technical manual.

Table 1-44.Excerpts from Master Cross-Reference List (MCRL)

COORDINATED SHIPBOARD ALLOWANCE LIST (COSAL).The COSAL can help you to

identify repair or replacement parts. Part IIB of the COSAL is a cross-reference (microfiche only) from
circuit symbol number to PN/NIIN/NICN. These parts are normally carried onboard ship for ready issue.

Outside Assistance
Your command may from time to time request assistance from another activity. This outside
assistance is usually for the purpose of training, technical assistance on unusual design, planning,
installation, or solving maintenance problems. Many of these activities exist throughout the fleet and
shore establishments. Their capabilities and areas of responsibility differ just as equipment and systems
differ. Several of the more widely known activities are included below.
MOBILE TECHNICAL UNITS (MOTU).MOTUs provide on-the-job training and technical
assistance for shipboard NAVSEA-SYSCOM/NAVELEXSYSCOM systems and equipment. They are
staffed by senior military personnel and Contractor Engineering and Technical Services (CETS)
representatives. MOTUs and NAUSEA combined about 10 years ago to form FTSCLANT/PAC.
MOTUs are located in the following areas:
FTSCLANT/PAC
Pearl Harbor, Hawaii
Norfolk, Va.
Groton, Conn.
San Diego, Calif.
Naples, Italy
Yokosuka, Japan
Mayport, Fla.
NSB Kings Bay, Ga.

NAVAL SEA SYSTEMS COMMAND (NAVSEA). NAVSEA provides technical assistance
through the use of direct fleet support technicians (TECHREP). These technicians are not to be used
primarily as repairmen. The objective of their services is to promote fleet readiness and maintenance selfsufficiency. NAVSEATECHREP are located at Naval Sea Support Centers (NAVSEACENs) in
Portsmouth, Va., and San Diego, Calif. They are also located at Fleet Support Offices (FSOs) in Mayport,
Fla., Charleston, S.C., and New London, Conn. Selected equipment may have services provided by
NAVSES, Philadelphia, or NAVSHIPWPNSYSENGSTA (NSWSES), Port Hueneme, Calif.
NAVAL ELECTRONIC SYSTEMS COMMAND (NAVELEX). NAVELEX equipment is
supported by the Fleet Liaison Program. Training and technical assistance is provided by civilian
technicians at six NAVELEX field activities. Five are Naval Electronic Systems Engineering Centers
(NESECs) and one is a Naval Electronic Systems Engineering Activity (NESEA). Fleet Liaison Offices
are located at NESEC Washington, D.C., NESEC Charleston, S.C., NESEC Portsmouth, Va., NESEC
San Diego, Calif., NESEC Vallejo, Calif., and NESEA St. Inigoes, Md.
NAVAL AIR SYSTEMS COMMAND (NAVAIR). NAVAIR established the Navy Engineering
and Technical Services (NETS) program to provide a source of technical and training assistance
expertise. The program is comprised of military and civilian personnel. These people are qualified to
provide advice, instruction, and training to support the installation, operation, and maintenance of Navy
weapons, weapon-systems, and equipment. NETS technicians are assigned and administered by the
Pacific Missile Test Center, Point Mugu, Calif., and the Naval Aviation Engineering Service Unit
(NAESU), Philadelphia, Pa.
The Pacific Missile Test Center provides engineering and technical services on air-launched missile
systems, air-launched guided weapons, Navy target systems, conventional ordnance, and associated
1-139

support equipment. All aircraft equipment and systems not specified above are the responsibility of the
Naval Aviation Engineering Service Unit (NAESU).
NAVAL AVIATION ENGINEERING SERVICE UNIT (NAESU). NAESU provides field
engineering assistance and instruction in installation, repair, and operation of all types of aviation systems

ENGINEERING INFORMATION BULLETIN (EIB).The Engineering Information Bulletin is

published biweekly and distributed to all naval ships and electronics installation and maintenance
activities. It is authoritative and is a means of rapid dissemination of advanced hull, mechanical,
electronic, electrical, and related equipment information. It includes information concerning approved
beneficial suggestions, electronics field changes, mechanical alterations (MECHALTS), installation
techniques, maintenance notes and practices, and technical manual availabilities, advance change notices,
and distribution.
EQUIPMENT TECHNICAL MANUALS.Technical manuals carry information essential to the
proper operation, maintenance, and repair of specific equipment. These manuals may occasionally contain
errors. In those cases, change notices are provided to correct the manuals. Updates because of equipment
changes are also provided. These changes must be installed in the technical manuals to maintain accuracy
and to prevent the loss of man-hours resulting from the use of obsolete data and/or schematics. The
Guide for User Maintenance of NAVSEA Technical Manuals, NAVSEA S005-AA-GYD-030/TMMP,
provides information on identifying, ordering, deficiency reporting, and updating technical manuals.
NAVSUP PUBLICATION 2002.NAVSUP 2002 is the Navy Stock List of Publication and
Forms and provides NSNs for ordering Navy publications and their changes. Each edition is issued
quarterly and supersedes the previous one in its entirety. It is produced in microfiche only and contains
three sections:
Section 1Forms
Section 2Publications
Section 3NAVAIR Technical Directives
DECKPLATE.The deckplate is a technical periodical published monthly by NAVSEA. It
contains information on design, construction, conversion, operation, maintenance, and repair of Navy
vessels and their equipment. It also includes articles on personnel safety, service hints, and adopted
beneficial suggestions.
NAVAL SAFETY CENTER PUBLICATIONS.The Naval Safety Center publishes bulletins
and several periodicals to keep Navy personnel informed on the subject of accident prevention.

Ship Safety BulletinThis monthly newsletter contains safety notes and accident data.

FathomThis quarterly magazine contains a review of surface ship and submarine accident
prevention and safety articles.

ApproachThis magazine is a monthly review of articles concerning aviation safety and

accident prevention.

MECHMECH is a bimonthly review of aviation maintenance related mishaps,

material/personnel hazards, and general aviation ground safety.

TRAINING MANUALS (TRAMANS).Training manuals are designed to give enlisted personnel

background knowledge for the proper performance of their assigned jobs. Electrical and electronic theory
and operation and maintenance information on pertinent equipment are presented at different rating levels
in the TRAMANs written for the technical rates.
