CHAPTER 4 MAINTENANCE INSTRUCTIONS
4-1 Maintenance concept. Because EMS has solid-state electronic construction, system should remain trouble-free
with reasonable care. However, EMS is essentially a microprocessor with various sensors and it may become
unserviceable if any internal elements or sensing devices are damaged. If system requires maintenance beyond that
specified in paragraphs 4-5 through 4-18, Intermediate Direct Support/Intermediate General Support (IDS/IGS)
maintenance unit provides skilled electronics technicians to accomplish this work according to information provided in
manufacturer's manual In Appendix B, their knowledge of electronic microprocessors and sensors and, if necessary,
additional guidance received from manufacturer's technical representative.
41.1 Unit level maintenance on EMS equipment is performed onboard by barge crewmembers whenever possible.
4-1.2 IDS/IGS maintenance is provided by a shore-based area support maintenance unit. This unit also determines if
depot support maintenance is required.
4-1.3 Intermediate support maintenance is accomplished by replacement of components or major end items.
4-1.4 Unless other intermediate support procedures are directed, IDS/IGS maintenance normally is provided by an Army
Transportation Corps floating craft intermediate support maintenance unit serving terminal operating area. Components
to be disposed of are processed by this unit.
4-1.5 Maintenance Allocation Chart (MAC) is in Appendix C of TM 55-1930-209-14&P-18. For maintenance of other
equipment onboard, consult appropriate manual 4-2 Maintenance Instructions. Maintenance instructions are presented in
the following sections: Appendix C, Preventive maintenance; paragraph 4-4, Troubleshooting; and paragraphs 4-5
through 4-18, Maintenance procedures.
4-3 Preventive maintenance checks and services. See TM 55-1930-209-14&P-11, Appendix C for preventive
maintenance checks and services for the equipment monitoring system. See TM 55-1930-20914&P-19 for complete
preventive maintenance checks and services for all systems on the ROWPU Barge.
