Don't forget to shut LCU door.


Dear Editor,

On the PAC 2 version of the Patriot launcher, you're required to open the circuit card basket door in the launcher electronic module (LEM) while doing diagnostic testing Diagnostic testing
Testing performed to determine if someone is affected with a particular disease.

Mentioned in: Von Willebrand Disease
.

The problem is that the door has a catch to keep it opera Maintenance Forgets to close the door. Then when they shut the launcher control unit (LCU LCU Landing Craft, Utility
LCU Lubbock Christian University (formerly Lubbock Christian College; Lubbock, TX, USA)
LCU Local Control Unit
LCU Lightweight Computer Unit
LCU Last Cluster Used
LCU Local Currency Unit
) panel the door damages the conductors for the filter in the panel. That; results in false readings for launcher missile status.

The solution, of course, is to remember to shut the circuit card basket door before shutting the LCU panel. But; if you get False readings on missile status, check the filter conductors first. You'll save lots of troubleshooting time. Often you can bend the filter conductors back in place and get back in business.
