Section II. FUNCTIONING OF EQUIPMENT

1-4. Objective Lens Assembly(fig. 3-2)

The objective lens assembly (2) used theavailable light of the night sky to focus animage of the scene being viewed on thefront screen of the image intensifier tube(14). Under nighttime illumination con-ditions, this image may be very dim andnot visible to the naked eye. Focusingof the image is accomplished by varyingthe distance of the image intensifier tube(14) from the objective lens assembly.

1-5. Image Intensifier Tube(fig. 3-2)

The image intensifier tube (14) receivesthe dim image from the objective lens as-sembly (2), amplifies it, and displays theimage on the rear screen of the tube. Thebrightness of the image is amplified tosuch a degree it can be seen with thenaked eye. Power for operation of theimage intensifier tube is supplied by the2.8-volt battery tray (10).

MAINTENANCE ALLOCATION

Section I. INTRODUCTION

B-1. GeneralThis appendix provides a summary of themaintenance operations covered in theequipment literature for the AN/PVS-3. Itauthorizes categories of maintenance forspecific maintenance functions on repaira-ble items and components and the toolsand equipment required to perform eachfunction. This appendix may be used asan aid in planning maintenance operations.

B-2. Maintenance FunctionsMaintenance functions will be limited to anddefined as follows:

a. INSPECT. To determine serviceabil-ity of an item by comparing its physical,mechanical, and electrical characteristicswith established standards.

b. TEST. To verify serviceability and todetect incipient electrical or mechanicalfailure by use of special equipment suchas gages, meters, etc. This is accomplishedwith external test equipment and does notinclude operation of the equipment andoperator type tests using internal metersor indicating devices,

c. SERVICE. To clean, to preserve, tocharge, and to add fuel, lubricants, coolingagents, and air. If it is desired that ele-ments, such as painting and lubricating,be defined separately, they may be solisted.

d. ADJUST. To rectify to the extentnecessary to bring into proper operatingrange.

e. ALIGN. To adjust two or more com-ponents or assemblies of an electrical ormechanical system so that their functionsare properly synchronized. This does notinclude setting the frequency control knobof radio receiversdesired frequency.

f. CALIBRATE.

or transmitters to the

To determine the cor-

rections to be made in the readings of in-struments or test equipment used in pre-cise measurement. Consists of the com-parison of two instruments, one of which isa certified standard of known accuracy, todetect and adjust any discrepancy in theaccuracy of the instrument being comparedwith the certified standard.

g. INSTALL. To set up for use in anoperational environment such as an en-campment, site, or vehicle.

h. REPLACE. To replace unserviceableitems with serviceable like items.

i. REPAIR. To restore an item to serv-iceable condition through correction of aspecific failure or unserviceable condition.This function includes, but is not limitedto welding, grinding, riveting, straighten-ing, and replacement of parts other thanby the trial and error replacement of run-ring spare type items such as fuses, lamps,or electron tubes.

j. OVERHAUL. Normally, the highestdegree of maintenance performed by theArmy in order to minimize time work inprocess is consistent with quality and econ-omy of operation. It consists of that main-tenance necessary to restore an item tocompletely serviceable condition as pre-scribed by maintenance standards in tech-nical publications for each item of equip-ment. Overhaul normally does not returnan item to like new, zero mileage, or zerohour condition.

k. REBUILD. The highest degree of ma-teriel maintenance. It consists of restoringequipment as nearly as possible to newcondition in accordance with original manu-facturing standards. Rebuild is performedonly when required by operational consid-erations or other paramount factors andthen only at the depot maintenance cate-gory. Rebuild reduces to zero the hours ormiles the equipment, or component there-
