When conducting "H agent" and "Hblank" sensitivity tests, and after the

ampoules are broken, the heaterproduces hot vapors and is hot tothe touch. Do not breathe vapors.Do not touch heater with bare skin.1 GB agent. Adjust the gas in accordance with

the Instruction Manual 136-300-297 to obtain thespecified concentration GB in air. Connect the gasgenerator to the exposure chamber and flush thechamber at a flow rate of 7.5 ± 2.5 liters per minute.Flush the chamber with GB agent concentration for atleast 5 minutes before any exposure, and maintain theagent concentration flow rate throughout the test.Segment the sampler and isolate the nerve gas test spotand ampoule section. Crush the buffer ampoule(number "3" with orange bead) and wet the test spot.Within 5 minutes, clamp the nerve gas detector into theagent test fixture, remove the stopper from the exposurechamber and install the fixture containing the detectorinto the chamber.

WARNING

RADIOACTIVE MATERIAL

CONTROLLED DISPOSAL REQUIRED

RADIATION HAZARDThe CAM contains a Beta radiation source of sufficientquantity to require a Nuclear Regulatory Commission(NRC) license. This license is necessary to possessitems which contain the source. The CAM contains 10millicurie of Nickel-63. The Nickel-63 plated cylinder is

the source which ionizes chemical agents allowing fortheir detection. The source is totally enclosed andprotected by the CAM case. THE WIPE TEST MUSTBE PERFORMED BEFORE AND AFTER ANYMAINTENANCE OR TESTING OF CAM.
