TM 9-2350-275-BD COMMUNICATIONS SYSTEM Other Options: ● Insulate/isolate non-essential wiring or cabling with crimp-on end caps, tape, or any other insulating material. Secure wires to some structure and tag them for rapid identification. ● Any intercom control box can be considered non-essential if one is willing to operate without it. Disconnect the cable leading to that particular control box at AM-1780 and consider using field expedient means for intercom. Also, consider switching control boxes and/or cables within the vehicle to provide intercom at the desired points. For repairs of this type, existing cabling can be rerouted if the original cables have been damaged. Record the BDAR action taken. When the mission is complete, as soon as practicable, repair vehicle using standard maintenance procedures. 11-33.
