1-4. Objective Lens Assembly (fig. 3-2) The objective lens assembly (2) used the available light of the night sky to focus an image of the scene being viewed on the front screen of the image intensifier tube (14). Under nighttime illumination conditions, this image may be very dim and not visible to the naked eye. Focusing of the image is accomplished by varying the 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) receives the dim image from the objective lens assembly (2), amplifies it, and displays the image on the rear screen of the tube. The brightness of the image is amplified to such a degree it can be seen with the naked eye. Power for operation of the image intensifier tube is supplied by the 2.8-volt battery tray (10).

TM 11-5855-209-23 APPENDIX B MAINTENANCE ALLOCATION Section I. INTRODUCTION B-1. General This appendix provides a summary of the maintenance operations covered in the equipment literature for the AN/PVS-3. It authorizes categories of maintenance for specific maintenance functions on repairable items and components and the tools and equipment required to perform each function. This appendix may be used as an aid in planning maintenance operations. B-2. Maintenance Functions Maintenance functions will be limited to and defined as follows: a. INSPECT. To determine serviceability of an item by comparing its physical, mechanical, and electrical characteristics with established standards. b. TEST. To verify serviceability and to detect incipient electrical or mechanical failure by use of special equipment such as gages, meters, etc. This is accomplished with external test equipment and does not include operation of the equipment and operator type tests using internal meters or indicating devices, c. SERVICE. To clean, to preserve, to charge, and to add fuel, lubricants, cooling agents, and air. If it is desired that elements, such as painting and lubricating, be defined separately, they may be so listed. d. ADJUST. To rectify to the extent necessary to bring into proper operating range. e. ALIGN. To adjust two or more components or assemblies of an electrical or mechanical system so that their functions are properly synchronized. This does not include setting the frequency control knob of radio receivers or transmitters to the desired frequency. f. CALIBRATE. To determine the corrections to be made in the readings of instruments or test equipment used in precise measurement. Consists of the comparison of two instruments, one of which is a certified standard of known accuracy, to detect and adjust any discrepancy in the accuracy of the instrument being compared with the certified standard. g. INSTALL. To set up for use in an operational environment such as an encampment, site, or vehicle. h. REPLACE. To replace unserviceable items with serviceable like items. i. REPAIR. To restore an item to serviceable condition through correction of a specific failure or unserviceable condition. This function includes, but is not limited to welding, grinding, riveting, straightening, and replacement of parts other than by the trial and error replacement of runring spare type items such as fuses, lamps, or electron tubes. j. OVERHAUL. Normally, the highest degree of maintenance performed by the Army in order to minimize time work in process is consistent with quality and economy of operation. It consists of that maintenance necessary to restore an item to completely serviceable condition as prescribed by maintenance standards in technical publications for each item of equipment. Overhaul normally does not return an item to like new, zero mileage, or zero hour condition. k. REBUILD. The highest degree of materiel maintenance. It consists of restoring equipment as nearly as possible to new condition in accordance with original manufacturing standards. Rebuild is performed only when required by operational considerations or other paramount factors and then only at the depot maintenance category. Rebuild reduces to zero the hours or miles the equipment, or component thereChange 2 B-1

Section I. INTRODUCTION
Explanation Repair parts which are stocked in or supplied from GSA/DSA or Army supply system and authorized for use at indicated maintenance categories. Repair parts which are procured and stocked for insurance purposes because the combat or military esesntiality of the end item dictates that a minimum quantity be available in the supply system. Assigned to items which are NSA design controlled: unique repair parts, special tools, test, measuring and diagnostic equipment, which are stocked and supplied by the Army COMSEC logistic system, and which are not subject to the provisions of AR 380-41. Assigned to items which are NSA design controlled: special tools, test, measuring and diagnostic equipment for COMSEC support, which are accountable under the provisions of AR 3S0-41, and which are stocked and supplied by the Army COMSEC logistic system. Repair parts which are not procured or stocked, but are to be manufactured in indicated maintenance levels. Assemblies which are not procured or stocked as such, but are made up of two or more units. Such component units carry individual stock numbers and descriptions, are procured and stocked separately and can be assembled to form the required assembly at indicated maintenance categories. Parts and assemblies which are not procured or stocked and the mortality of which normally is below that of the applicable end item or component. The failure of such part or assembly should result in retirement of the end item from the supply system. Repair parts which are not procured or stocked. The requirement for such items will be filled by use of the next higher assembly or component. Repair parts which are not stocked. The indicated maintenance category requiring such repair parts will attempt to obtain same through cannibalization. Where such repair parts are not obtainable through cannibalization, requirements will be requisitioned, with accompanying justification, through normal supply channels. Major assemblies that are procured with PEMA funds for initial issue only as exchange assemblies at DSU and GSU level. These assemblies will not be stocked above DS and GS level or returned to depot supply level.

C-5. Location of Repair Parts a. This appendix contains two cross-reference indexes (sec. IV and sec. V) to be used to locate a repair part when either the Federal stock number, reference number (manufacturers part number) or reference designation is known. The first column in each index is prepared in numerical or alphanumeric sequence in ascending order. Where a Federal stock number is not listed, refer to the reference number (manufacturers part number) immediately following the Federal stock number. b. When the Federal stock number or reference number is known, follow the procedures given in (1) and (2) below. (1) Refer to the index of Federal stock numbers (sec. IV) and locate the Federal stock number or reference number. The Federal stock number or reference number is cross-referenced to the applicable figure and item number or reference designation. (2) When the reference designation is determined, refer to the reference designation index (sec. V). The reference designations are listed in numeric-alpha ascending order and are cross-referenced to the page number on which they appear in the repair parts list (sec. II and III). Refer to the page number noted in the index and locate the reference designation in the repair parts list (col. 7a, Repair Parts for Organizational Maintenance or col. 10b, Repair Parts for Direct Support,
TM 11-5855-209-23 General Support, and Depot Maintenance). If the description column indicates that it is a SAME AS item, locate the first appearance of the item by the index number referenced. c. When the reference designation is known, follow the procedures given in b (2) above. d. When neither the Federal stock number, reference number, nor reference designation is known, identify the part in the illustration and follow directions given in c above or scrutinize column 3 of the repair parts list (sec. II and sec. III). C-6. Federal Supply Code for Manufacturers.
