Section I. GENERAL INFORMATION

1-1. SCOPE. This operator's manual is for personnel who are responsible for operating the Integrated Commercial

Intrusion Detection System (ICIDS). The purpose of the ICIDS is to monitor specially designated areas and facilities in

an installation. When unauthorized attempts to enter these areas or facilities are detected, the ICIDS provides alarms for

operators to take required action. This manual describes the operating instructions and operator maintenance of the

ICIDS. This manual also includes system administrator procedures, which are used to perform another level of

operation. Appendix A contains a listing of reference materials for this manual. Appendix B contains the components of

end items list and basic issue items list. Appendix C contains the additional authorization list (AAL). Appendix D

contains the expendable and durable items list. Appendix E contains quick operating procedures to simplify routine

tasks.

1-2. MAINTENANCE FORMS AND RECORDS. Department of the Army forms and procedures used for equipment

maintenance will be those prescribed by DA Pam 738-750, the Army Maintenance Management System.

1-3. CORROSION PREVENTION AND CONTROL (CPC). Corrosion Prevention and Control (CPC) of Army materiel is

a continuing concern. It is important that any corrosion problems with this item be reported so the problem can be

corrected and improvements can be made to prevent future problems.

a. While corrosion is typically associated with rusting of metals, it can also include deterioration of other materials,

such as rubber and plastic. Unusual cracking, softening, swelling, or breaking of these materials may be a symptom

of a corrosion problem.

b. If a corrosion problem is identified, it can be reported using Standard Form 368, Product Quality Deficiency

Report. Use of key words such as "corrosion", "rust", "deterioration", or "cracking" will assure that the information is

identified as a Corrosion Prevention and Control (CPC) problem. This form should be submitted to: Commander,

U.S. Army Aviation and Troop Command, ATTN: AMSAT-I-MDO, 4300 Goodfellow Blvd., St. Louis, MO 63120-

1798.

1-4. DESTRUCTION OF ARMY MATERIEL TO PREVENT ENEMY USE. Refer to TM 750-244-2 and TM 750-244-3

for instructions covering destruction of Army materiel to prevent enemy use.

1-5. REPORTING EQUIPMENT IMPROVEMENT RECOMMENDATIONS (EIR). If your ICIDS needs improvement, let

us know. Send us an Equipment Improvement Recommendation (EIR). You, the user, are the only one who can tell us

what you don't like about your equipment. Let us know why you don't like the design. Put it on an SF 368 (Product

Quality Deficiency Report). Mail it to us at: Commander, U.S. Army Aviation and Troop Command, ATTN: AMSAT-I-
