A-A-50696 Reels, Static Discharge, Grounding, 50 And 75 Foot Cable LengthsThis Commercial Item Description describes industrial type static discharge reels with either 50 or 75 foot cable lengths fully extracted used to dispel static charges from ground support equipment. This Commercial Item Description CID Test Set Synchro provides a crystal controlled phase angle calibration standard. It produces two digitally synthesized, low distortion sine waves. Relative phase angles between two sine wave outputs may be varied by at least 0.002??over the range from ??999.999??. This instrument will provide and measure phase angle signals for development, repair and maintenance of general electronics, navigational aids, satellite and other communications equipment.

3.14  Color.  The reel shall be color no. 24052 in accordance with FED-STD-595. Cleaning, painting, plating, anodic films, and chemical treatments shall be in accordance with MIL-HDBK-

808.

3.15  Electrical resistance.  The electrical resistance between the cable free end grounding device or end of cable if no grounding device is furnished (in either extended or retracted condition) and the contact surfaces on the mounting base or the reel frame shall not exceed 10 ohms. Metal components shal1 be electrically bonded together to prevent sparking during operation.

3.16  Repairability.  The unit shall contain provisions for cable replacement under field conditions. Replacement of the cable and end attachments shall be accomplished using common hand tools.

3.17  Lubrication.  The drum shaft bearings shall be permanently lubricated and sealed for the life of the unit. The use of grease fittings shall be limited only to the latching mechanism. Where lubricants are required, the reel shall so be designed that excess grease or oil cannot contaminate electrical contacts causing disruptions in continuity of the unit.

3.18  Reliability requirements.  The unit provided by the contractor shall be capable of a minimum of 5000 cycles (full extensions and retractions) before failure.

3.19  Cable stop.  A caution label with Black lettering on a Yellow background shall be packaged with the reel and will read as follows:

"Grounding clamps/plugs shall not be allowed to drag across the ramp. Clamps/plugs shall be carried to reels on equipment."

4.0  PRODUCT CONFORMANCE PROVISIONS

4.1 Responsibility for inspection.  Unless otherwise specified in the contract, the contractor is responsible for the performance of all inspection requirements as specified herein. Except as otherwise specified in the contract, the contractor may use his own or any other facilities suitable for the performance of the inspection requirements specified herein, unless disapproved by the Government.

4.2 Classification of inspection.  The inspection requirements specified herein are classified as first article inspection and quality conformance inspection.

4.3 First Article inspection.  First article inspection shall be performed on one static discharge reel when a first article test is specified in the contract or order. This Inspection shall determine whether the contractor's design meets all the salient characteristics specified herein and sball include examination and functional testing as specified herein.

4.4 Quality conformance inspection. Quality conformance inspection shall be performed on the sample static discharge reels selected in accordance with the inspection lot and sampling requirements. This inspection shall include examination and functional tests as specified herein.
