Say yes to pm!Recovering It Start your recovery by removing all tags and untying the wire where necessary. Skin protection--both yours and the wire--is your next consideration. Put on leather gloves A leather glove is a fitted covering for the hand with a separate sheath for each finger and the thumb. This covering is composed of the tanned hide of an animal (with the hair removed), though it is not uncommon in recent years for the leather to be synthetic. to protect the skin on your hands. Now lay the wire out in as straight a path as possible. Lift the cable off the ground as much as possible as you reel it in to protect its "skin." As you slowly reel in the wire, look it over and get a feel for how much repair work you must do.

HERE ARE SOME THINGS YOU CAN DO TO EXTEND THE LIFE OF YOUR WIRE ... [ILLUSTRATION OMITTED] Servicing It When you're back from the field, set aside a day where your unit can gather and service all your wire. Make sure you have a couple of empty reels, tape, tools and your splicing splicing /splic·ing/ (spli´sing) 1. the attachment of individual DNA molecules to each other, as in the production of chimeric genes. 2.

Slowly wind the wire onto the empty reel while thoroughly checking the wire. You can clean the wire while it moves from one reel to the other, too. Look for the same damage you did when you took the wire up in the field--cuts, excessive splices, worn spots, jacket deterioration and other damage. If the wire has insulation skinned off for three inches or less, but the wire is not broken, cover the exposed wire with electrical tape Electrical tape is a type of pressure-sensitive tape used to insulate electrical wires and other material that conduct electricity. It can be made of many plastics, but vinyl is most popular; it stretches better, giving a more effective and longer lasting insulation. . If the insulation or wire damage is more than three inches, cut out the damaged wire and splice it. If the wire is broken, splice it. USE WIRE TAGS ON THE SPOOL See print spooler and spooling. 1.

Thoroughly check [ILLUSTRATION OMITTED] Splicing It Cut off, or out, the damaged wire and tie the two ends of the wire with a single knot single knot n. See overhand knot. , leaving about six inches of wire on either end of the knot. The knot will take the strain off the line at the point you make the splice. If you are using the splice kit, splice the ends and wrap the splice with insulation tape. If you're using the U1R, split each pair of conductors and insert them into the splice. Make sure the conductors go through the metal prongs and all the way to the center of the U1R. Center the U1R in the crimper. Press firmly until the red top part of the U1R is even with the clear bottom part. No tape is needed because the insulating grease in the splice protects against electrical leakage and corrosion. The insulating grease also makes the splice waterproof. The number of the splices and the resistance of the wire tells you the wire's condition. Four or fewer splices in 1/2 mile of wire is OK for mission use as long as the electrical resistance Electrical resistance Opposition of a circuit to the flow of electric current. Ohm's law states that the current I flowing in a circuit is proportional to the applied potential difference V. checks out. If you're using WD-1 or -1A, the resistance should not exceed 241 ohms per loop mile at 70[degrees]F. If you're using WF-16, 282 ohms per loop mile should not be exceeded. More than four splices in any 1/2 mile of wire means it can be used for training only. It's ready for disposal if you don't need it for training. When you turn in used wire, your DRMO DRMO Defense Reutilization and Marketing Office (US DoD) DRMO Defense Reutilization Management Office DRMO Division Resource Management Office will probably want it cut up and turned in by the pound. Check with them to make sure. One mile of WD-1 wire weighs about 48 pounds. WD-1A is a little lighter at about 38 pounds. WF-16 is heavier at 62 pounds per mile of wire.
