If this happens, stay away until the smell of sulfur is gone. If you have to move the battery, move it outside by using a shovel or long tongs. Wear suitable protection when handling suspect batteries. A rapidly venting battery may create an explosive and corrosive hazard which may damage skin and eyes. If the skin or eyes come in contact with the electrolyte wash thoroughly with generous amounts of water, and seek medical attention. Dispose of batteries according to TB 43-0130 and local Standing Operating Procedures (SOP).
CAUTION
Do not decontaminate CAM or Its accessories with M258A1 or M280 Decontamination Kits. These kits may cause false positives and temporarily render the CAM inoperative.

CHAPTER 1 INTRODUCTION
Section I. GENERAL INFORMATION 1-1. SCOPE.
a. Type of Manual. Operators manual. b. Model Number and Equipment name. No model number; Improved Chemical Agent Monitor (ICAM). c. Purpose of Equipment. Used by ground forces to search out clean areas; to search and locate contamination on personnel, equipment, ships structures, aircraft and land vehicles, buildings and terrain; and to monitor the effectiveness of decontamination. The CAM also can be used to monitor collective protection. The CAM responds to nerve and mustard agent vapors down to the lowest hazard that could affect personnel over a short period. d. Special Limitations on Equipment. The CAM is not a detector. It is a monitor that can become contaminated and overloaded (saturated). The CAM reports conditions only at the front of the inlet nozzle. It is only a point monitor and cannot give a realistic assessment of the vapor hazard over an area from one position. 1-1
c. Such problems should be reported using SF 368 (Quality Deficiency Report). Mail it to the address specified in DA PAM 738-750. Use of key words such as corrosion, rust, deterioration, or cracking ensures the information is identified as a CPC problem.

d. Emergency Procedures. WARNING In an emergency, contamination must be considered present until determined otherwise or contamination of personnel may result. (1) Fire. The basic concern is possible airborne contamination carried out of the flames by the heated air and in the smoke. Firefighters should fight the fire from upwind, and wear portable air systems, if available. After the fire Is extinguished, debris must be surveyed for the presence of equipment containing Nickel-63 sources. The RADIAC set ANNDR-2 (or equivalent) (with the beta shield open) is suitable for detecting the location of the Nlckel-63 sources. Wipes must be taken and evaluated to determine contamination. (2) Equipment Destruction. Parts of the equipment must be retrieved, and surveys for possible contamination must be done. (3) Accident Response in General. (a) Remove injured and spectators. (b) Establish exclusion area. (c) Notify authorities (NBC NCO or officer, and, if available, local RPO). 1-13

This procedure applies power to your system. Look for visual indications to ensure CAM is operating property. a. Ensure nozzle protective cap (1) is in position on monitor case assembly (2). b. To start self-test, press ON/OFF push-button switch (3). If CAM display does not come on, disappears or flashes on and off, refer to troubleshooting symptoms 3 and 4 (para 3-3). Otherwise, observe the display for the indications in steps 1 thru 7.
2-23
2-24
(7) Display will clear from self-test after 30 seconds (H mode, WAIT and A and B markers remain). If display does not clear from self-test after 30 seconds, refer to troubleshooting symptom 11 (para 3-3). c. WAIT clears from display within 2 minutes. NOTE In very cold conditions, the battery may not immediately reach operating level (BL may not go out). If BL is still displayed after 5 minutes, repeat step b. An extended warm up period may be necessary If CAMs have been in storage 30 days or longer. Allow CAM to run until It passes confidence test (para 2-5), but not more than 72 hours. If WAIT does not clear from display within 2 minutes (only H mode and A and B markers remain), refer to troubleshooting symptom 12 (para 3-3).
a. Twist (counterclockwise) and remove nozzle protective cap (1) from front of CAM (2); place nozzle protective cap onto CAM environmental cap (3) and twist clockwise. b. Place a filtered nozzle standoff onto CAM nozzle assembly, as follows: (1) Pull one filtered nozzle package assembly (4) from pocket (5) of carrying harness.
2-26
Peel back covering (6) from top of filtered nozzle package assembly (4) until one filtered nozzle standoff (7) is exposed. Quickly press CAM nozzle assembly (8) into exposed filtered nozzle standoff (7) and remove. Lay covering (6) back in place across top of filtered nozzle package assembly (4). Slide package assembly (4) back into pocket (5) of carrying harness.

NOTE Get to know your operating environment (know local interferents). Do not obstruct the filtered nozzle standoff. (1) If the operation of the CAM is in doubt at any time, the filtered nozzle standoff should be removed and the nozzle protective cap assembly replaced on the nozzle assembly. When the display has cleared down to zero or one bar, the nozzle protective cap assembly is removed and a new filtered nozzle standoff installed. A confidence test is performed, and monitoring can then continue. (2) When a constant number of bars are continually shown on the display, it usually Indicates that contamination is present in the surrounding area or on the nozzle. Discard filtered nozzle standoff as contaminated waste. Do not allow CAM to continuously monitor contamination of any kind. (3) Because the CAM is a point monitor and can report conditions only at the front of the nozzle assembly, it is necessary to move the CAM around the area when carrying out a complete reconnaissance. 2-37
2-38
d. Interferents. NOTE Monitoring with CAM is usually done outdoors while in Mission Oriented Protective Posture (MOPP IV). Cleaning materials or perfumes may be a problem. (1) There are a few vapors present in the atmosphere that can, in some circumstances, give a false response in CAM. The situations most likely to give a false response are in enclosed spaces or when sampling near strong vapor sources, for example, in a motor pool engine test bay. If it is possible, get to know your local environment during training periods. Determine if, for example, there are any responses in the galley, the sick bay or the hangar. Some of the types of vapors that have been found to give false readings are given in the following paragraphs:
2-39
2-40
(c) Smoke and fumes. The exhaust from some rocket motors and the fumes from some munitions can give responses. (2) If you suspect your CAM is giving a false reading: (a) Stay masked. (b) Check for obvious vapor sources - smoke, etc., and known interferents. (c) Remove and discard the filtered nozzle standoff, place nozzle protective cap assembly onto the front of CAM case and reestablish a clean air background. (d) Remove nozzle protective cap assembly. If false response recurs, CAM may not be operable in the immediate area. Remove source of interferent (if possible) or replace nozzle protective cap and remove CAM from area.
2-41
(1) Backlight not operating. (2) BL shown on display during operation. (3) Display disappears.
(5) Does not change mode from G to H or H to G. (6) Does not clear down to zero or one bar in 2 minutes (or 5 minutes for five or more bars). 2-42
f.
Removing CAM from Operation. WARNING A contaminated CAM can cause death or injury to personnel. (1) If contamination is suspected, refer to para 2-17 for decontamination procedures. If CAM is not contaminated proceed to step 2. NOTE In conditions below 40F (4C) take CAM to a warm area, if possible, to carry out the shutdown procedure. When operating in wet conditions, try to avoid trapping moisture on nozzle assembly or inside the nozzle protective cap assembly. Trapping of water in this way may result in increased start-up time or reduced sensitivity.
2-43
2-44
NOTE CAM normally clears down to zero or one bar within 2 minutes. If CAM is contaminated, it may take at least 1 hour to clear down to zero or one bar. (7) Observe display (7). If display shows zero or one bar, press G/H pushbutton switch to change modes of operation. Observe display (7). If display shows zero or one bar, CAM is ready for shutdown procedure. If more than one bar shows, let CAM run until display shows zero or one bar. Allow CAM to run an additional 5 minutes after the display has cleared to zero or one bar.
