MAINTENANCE
 
A. PRELIMINARY INSTRUCTIONS
 
5A1. General. Extreme vigilance and care should be practiced in the inspection, cleaning, and repair of parts. Personnel performing repair work should use common sense in judging whether or not a part should be put back into service or discarded. If there is any doubt regarding this, replace the part. With the exception of bearings and electrical equipment, corrosion should be removed from parts by washing them in clean fresh water. Dry the parts thoroughly, and apply a light film of gyro oil to prevent rusting or corrosion. Use Navy-approved cleaning fluid to clean grease and oil from the parts. Keep bearings oiled and clean by wrapping them in wax paper, or cloth, until needed for assembly. The area in which the repair work is being performed should be kept in an absolutely clean condition in order to prevent any dust and dirt from getting on the parts.   5A2. Operating the system on a static head. This operation is a means of checking the operation of the log system and other equipment connected to the log system while the ship is at rest on the surface. By shutting off the pressure on one side of the bellows, unequal pressure is obtained on the bellows, and the system will operate at one speed in the same manner as if the ship were underway. This permits the checking and inspection of the system under operating conditions. Operate on the static head as follows: Turn the valves from the secured position as shown in Figure 3-2 to the static head operating position as shown in Figure 3-7. The system will now operate at approximately 5 knots. After inspection, turn the valves to their secured position as shown in Figure 3-2. The pump motor should then stop turning and the speed pointers should beat zero.
 
B. MAINTENANCE OF RODMETER
 
5B1. Testing for obstruction in the rodmeter. The rodmeter may become clogged with jellyfish, mud, seaweed, or other foreign matter. Consequently the pressure difference will not be normal, and the mechanism will not register correctly. The following test must be performed when the ship is on the surface: Position the vent cocks and valves as shown in Figure 5-1. If a full stream of water does not flow from both vent cocks, it is an indication that the particular line not flowing is clogged.

5B2. Blowing out the rodmeter. This operation should be performed with the rodmeter in its extended, or operating, position. It is good practice to blow out both lines even if the tests for obstruction indicate that only one line is clogged, as foreign matter has undoubtedly entered both passages. Blow out the rodmeter in the following manner: Disconnect the hose from the static pressure valve nipple on the control unit. Pinch the

  Figure 5-1. Vent cocks positioned to check clogged rodmeter.

32

end of the hose to prevent leakage of water. If the line is completely clogged, water will not leak from the hose. Connect the low-pressure air line of the ship to the static hose, and blow the obstruction out of the hose and rodmeter into the water outside of the ship. Do not apply the low-pressure air hose to the lines that enter the control unit, as air pressure will damage the sensitive mechanism. When a full stream of water is obtained from the static hose, install the end of the hose over the nipple on the static pressure valve and install the hose clamp to secure the hose in position. Blow out the dynamic line in the same manner.

5B3. Removing solid obstructions from the rodmeter. If obstructions are not removed by blowing out the rodmeter with compressed air, the following operations will be necessary:

Raise the rodmeter to its fully housed position (Figure 5-2). Close the sea valve. Unlatch the stop bracket at the top of the hoist assembly by opening and removing the lock which secures the bracket in position above the rodmeter, and swing it to one side out of the way (Figure 5-2). Remove the lower end of the rodmeter from the sea valve extension by raising the rodmeter to the

  upper sprockets. Using a soft brass wire, dig out the obstructions from the orifices (openings) at the lower end of the rodmeter.

Do not use steel wire or a drill to clean the orifices as they may score the orifices or break off in the openings.

Blow out the rodmeter as described in Section 5B2 with the exception that the rodmeter need not be extended into the sea. Have one crew member hold his hand near the orifices to detect the flow of air which indicates that the orifice and tubing are clear. Repeat the operation until all passages are clear. Align the lower end of the rodmeter with the opening in the sea valve extension and lower the rodmeter to its fully housed position (Figure 5-2).

At this point the tip of the rodmeter is approximately 1 inch above the sea valve gate. Open the sea valve. Swing the stop bracket to its normal position above the rodmeter and secure in place with the lock. It is important that the stop bracket be in position above the rodmeter at all times except during the above operation, or when the rodmeter is being replaced. Lower the rodmeter to its normal housed position or to its fully extended position as desired. Place the hoist crank in the brackets provided, and replace the deck plate over the sea valve.

 
C. REPLACING DAMAGED RODMETER
 
5C1. General instructions. If the rodmeter is bent so that it cannot be drawn up into the ship, it will be necessary to install a spare rodmeter. Do not attempt to force the damaged rodmeter up into the ship, as the hoist mechanism may be damaged. The removal and installation operations should be carried out only when the ship is surfaced. If the damaged rodmeter is to be salvaged, it may be accomplished if a diver is available. Lower the diver over the side of the ship so that he can rig a line around the damaged rodmeter. Secure the other end of the line to the ship so that the rodmeter may be pulled out of the water after it is pushed out of the sea valve. The rodometers of all submarines are equipped with two valve assemblies mounted on the upper end openings of the   rodmeter (see Figure 5-3), instead of the conventional nipple installation as shown in Figure 5-4. This necessitates a different procedure for removing and installing the clamp and guard assembly. These two procedures will be covered in the following operations.

5C2. Breaking out the spare rodmeter. Break out the spare rodmeter and place it alongside of the hoist mechanism so that it will be immediately available when needed.

5C3. Rumoring the clamp and guard assembly (nipple installation). (See Figure 5-4.) Loosen the hose clamps and remove the two lengths of hose from the nipples on the upper end of the rodmeter. Unscrew the longest nipple (after nipple) and plug the hole in the rodmeter with a wooden plug. Remove the

Figure 5-2. Rodmeter in secured position.
  forward nipple in the same manner. Remove the two nuts and bolts that secure the clamps, and guard to the rodmeter and remove the clamp and guard assembly. Raise the guard, by means of the hoist, up against the stop bracket above the rodmeter (Figure 5-2).

Figure 5-3. Rodmeter with valves installed.
Figure 5-3. Rodmeter with valves installed.

5C4. Removing the clamp and guard assembly (valve installation). Loosen the two hose clamps (one on each hose) that secure the ends of the hose to the nipples provided on the valve assemblies at the upper end of the rodmeter (Figure 5-3). Remove the hose and clamps. Remove the two bronze nuts and bolts that secure the two clamps and the guard to the top of the rodmeter, and remove the clamps. Raise the guard and yoke assembly up against the stop bracket by means of the hoist provided for raising the rodmeter.

 
34

It may be necessary to remove one or both valve handles from the valve stems in order to get enough clearance to raise the guard.

This is accomplished by removing the two nuts (one on each handle) that secure the valve handles to the valve stems, and by removing the handles. Make a rough sketch of the position of the valve assemblies so that they can be installed in their original position on assembly. Spread the two valve assemblies apart so that one of them can be unscrewed without interference from the other valve assembly. Unscrew and remove the lower valve assembly from the elbow which connects this valve assembly with the opening in the top of the rodmeter. Plug the elbow opening with a wooden plug. Unscrew the complete valve assembly from the other opening on top of the rodmeter, and plug this opening in the rodmeter with a wooden plug. Unscrew and remove the elbow of the lower valve assembly from the top of the rodmeter, and plug the opening in the top of the rodmeter with a wooden plug.

5C5. Installing the valve assemblies in the top of the rodmeter. (See Figure 5-3.) The spare rodmeter is equipped with nipples and a clamp and guard assembly. For those ships which have valve assemblies installed instead of the conventional rodmeter nipples, the following procedure is necessary to install the valve assemblies in the spare rodmeter:

1. Remove the clamp and guard assembly from the spare rodmeter by removing the two bronze nuts and two bolts that secure the clamps and guard in position at the upper end of the rodmeter, and remove the clamps and guard.

2. Unscrew and remove the two nipples from the top of the rodmeter.

3. Apply a coating of white lead compound to the threads of the valve assemblies to be installed.

4. Install the elbow of the lower valve assembly (previously removed from the damaged rodmeter) in the after (static) opening in the top of the rodmeter. Refer to the sketch previously made at disassembly, and tighten this elbow to its original position.

  5. Install the valve assembly in this elbow, tightening the valve until secure. Be sure that the valve stem is facing upward.

6. Disassemble the second valve assembly by unscrewing the horizontal nipple and valve assembly from the elbow and nipple assembly. Also remove the valve bottom and stem assembly from the valve body. This disassembly is necessary in order to obtain the proper clearances while installing the second valve assembly in the rodmeter.

7. Install the elbow and nipple in the forward (dynamic) opening on top of the rodmeter. Tighten until the elbow is in its original position. Refer to the sketch made previously for the position of the elbow.

8. Install the valve body and nipple into the elbow.

9. Install the valve bottom and stem assembly into the valve body, making certain that the valve stem is facing upward.

5C6. Installing the clamp and guard assembly. (See Figure 5-4.) The two clamps and the guard are stamped at their ends. These numbers should be adjacent to one another when these pieces are assembled on the rodmeter. Place the two clamps around the upper end of the spare rodmeter in such a manner that the clamps are over the knock-out pins provided at the top of the rodmeter. Place the guard between the clamps. Align the mounting holes in the three pieces, and install the two bronze bolts and nuts that secure the clamp and guard assembly to the rodmeter. Tighten the nuts securely.

5C7. Installing the spare rodmeter. (See Figure 5-4.) The following procedure should be used in installing the rodmeter:

1. If the damaged rodmeter is partially raised, push it downward until the knock-out pin rests on top of the packing gland in the sea valve extension. It may be necessary to use a heavy hammer and wooden block to start the rodmeter downward.

2. Place the tip of the spare rodmeter on top of the damaged rodmeter, being sure that the dynamic orifice in its leading edge is facing forward. Note the arrows stamped on the

 
35

rodmeter for facing the rodmeter in the proper direction.

3. Remove the cotter pin and the clevis pin which secure the old guard to the lifting bar on the hoist chain, and remove the old guard. Align the opening in the lifting bar with the opening provided in the guard on the spare rodmeter, and install the clevis pin and cotter pin which secure the lifting bar to the guard assembly.

4. Place the loose end of the dynamic hose over the nipple provided on the dynamic fitting on top of the rodmeter. The opposite end of this hose is attached to the pump. Secure the hose to the nipple by tightening the hose clamp on the end of the hose. Place the end of the static hose on the nipple provided on the fitting on top of the rodmeter. The opposite end of the static hose is attached to the control unit. Secure the hose to the nipple by tightening the hose clamp on the end of the hose.

5. Remove the knock-out pin from the damaged rodmeter. Push downward on the spare rodmeter to drive the damaged rodmeter downward and out of the ship.

6. Vent the system in accordance with the instructions in Section 3A3.

  Figure 5-4. Cutaway view of Pitometer rodmeter.
Figure 5-4. Cutaway view of Pitometer rodmeter.
 
D. MAINTENANCE OF PUMP
 
5D1. General. The pump is removed, disassembled, inspected, cleaned, repaired, adjusted, and lubricated whenever the leakage from the pump exceeds three drops per minute; or whenever the pump becomes noisy due to worn bearings or because the impeller blades are hitting on the cover.

5D2. Period of overhaul. If possible, the pump assembly should be removed, disassembled, cleaned, inspected, lubricated, adjusted, and/or repaired, if necessary, every 45 days. If the tactical situation does not warrant servicing the pump at 45-day intervals, it should be overhauled after every patrol to keep the pump operating correctly. A shorter

  or longer interval of overhaul is left to the discretion of the commanding officer.

5D3. Removing the pump. (See Figure 5-5.) Have the rodmeter in its secured position with the sea valve closed. Disconnect the two lengths of hose from the pump by loosening the two hose clamps (one on each hose) that secure the hose to the nipples on the pump, and remove the hose and clamps. Remove the four nuts that secure the pump to the spacer (mounting) rods, and remove the pump assembly from the spacer rods.

5D4. Disassembly of the pump assembly. (See Figure 5-7.) Following is the procedure for disassembling the pump assembly.

 
36

Figure 5-5. Pump installed.
Figure 5-5. Pump installed.
1. Remove the 11 screws that secure the pump cover jacket to the pump housing, and remove the cover jacket. Do not remove the marked orifice plate.

2. Remove the 12 screws that secure the housing cover to the housing, and remove the housing cover. Lift the rubber gasket off the housing. Turn the pump assembly over so that the impeller blades are facing downward, and rest the pump assembly on the cover jacket with the impeller blades in the opening in the cover jacket. Do not rest the impeller blades on an uneven surface as they will be damaged.

3. Remove the four screws that secure the housing jacket to the pump housing, and remove the housing jacket.

4. Loosen the two setscrews (one on each piece) that secure the coupling and the fan on the impeller shaft, and remove the coupling and fan.

5. Remove the four screws that secure the end cap to the pump housing, and remove the pump end cap.

6. Bend down the lug of the external toothed lock washer that secures the lock nut in position. Using the special lock nut wrench (Figure 5-6), remove the lock nut from the end of the impeller shaft. Do not place the impeller blades in a vise. Lift off the lock washer. Pull the impeller assembly out of the pump housing.

7. Insert a brass or fiber rod V inch in diameter into the pump housing from the impeller end of the pump housing and push out the two ball bearings, two spacers, thrower disk, and shield washer from the pump housing. Do not use a steel rod as the parts will become burred, and the bearings will not align properly at assembly.

  5D5. Disassembly of the impeller assembly. (See Figure 5-8.) The impeller assembly is disassembled as follows:

1. The rotary seal bellows is disassembled from the impeller assembly when visual inspection reveals the fade of the bellows to be grooved, burred, or badly corroded.

2. Remove the eight screws that secure the impeller gasket ring to the impeller, and remove the gasket ring. Remove the gasket from the ring or from the impeller if the gasket is sticking to the impeller. Carefully pull the rotary seal bellows from the impeller and off the impeller shaft.

3. Place the impeller shaft in a soft-jawed vise in such a manner that the pin that secures the shaft to the impeller is parallel to the jaws of the vise. Using a pin punch, drive out the pin from the impeller and the, impeller

shaft. The impeller shaft is disassembled from the impeller only if a gap between the shaft and the impeller indicates that the pin that secures the shaft to the impeller has been distorted, or sheared off due to the application of too much pressure on the lock nut which secures the bearings and spacers to the impeller at a previous assembly operation.

5D6. Inspection and repair of impeller shaft. (See Figure 5-8.) Inspect the impeller shaft for straightness. Inspect the shaft for security of mounting in the impeller. The impeller shaft should be securely mounted in the impeller, and the pin that secures the shaft to the impeller should be in place. A gap between the impeller shaft and the impeller is

Figure 5-9. Checking length of rotary seal bellows
Figure 5-9. Checking length of rotary seal bellows

  an indication that the pin that secures the shaft to the impeller has been distorted, or sheared off at a previous assembly. If the shaft is not straight, or the pin has been distorted or sheared off, remove the pin from the shaft and impeller. Press a new shaft into the impeller, and install a new, 3/32-inch monel pin which secures the shaft to the impeller. A bronze pin may be substituted for the monel pin if the latter is not available, but do not use steel or stainless steel pins as they will corrode and fail prematurely. If the threads are damaged, touch them up on a lathe. The diameter of the screws is 0.391 inch (10 mm), 32 threads per inch.

5D7. Inspection of the impeller blades. (See Figure 5-8.) Inspect the impeller blades for straightness and depth. The blades should be straight. The depth of the impeller blades on a new, impeller is 0.189 inch. If the impeller blades are worn more than 0.002 inch below the depth of the blades of a new impeller, that is, the depth of blades is less than 0.187 inch, the impeller should be replaced, or the calibration of the system will be incorrect.

5D8. Inspection of the rotary seal bellows. (See Figure 5-8.) Visually inspect the face of the rotary seal bellows. If worn, pitted; or corroded, replace the bellows and gasket. Use KR monel bellows for replacement, if available. Use monel or bronze screws on the gasket ring. Do not use stainless steel screws on the gasket ring as the steel screws corrode badly when used with monel. Check the

Figure 5-11. Refacing rotary seal insert.
Figure 5-11. Refacing rotary seal insert.

dimension from the impeller hub to the bellows face (Figure 5-9). This dimension is very critical and should be exactly 13/32-inch. If the bellows is too short (dimension more than 13/32-inch), the pump may leak excessively. If the bellows is too long (dimension less than 13/32-inch), the seal faces will wear rapidly, and may make the pump too tight. This latter fault will cause the pump to bind at low speeds.

5D9. Adjusting-the rotary seal bellows. (See Figure 5-10.) If the bellows are found to be too short, as described in Section 5D8, they may be stretched as follows: Place a thin strip of metal, such as the smooth edge of a hacksaw blade, between the folds of the rotary seal bellows. Turn the bellows around so that the metal blade will stretch the bellows uniformly. After each turn, measure the distance between the impeller hub to the bellows face. Repeat the spreading operation until the dimension between the impeller hub and bellows face is exactly 13/32-inch. When the bellows is too long, as described in Section 5D8, compress the bellows by hand (while installed on impeller shaft) until the dimension between the impeller hub and the bellows face is exactly 13/32-inch. When the rotary seal bellows is at proper dimension, the bellows face must move freely inward and outward along the shaft.

  5D10. Inspection of the rotary seal insert. (See Figure 5-7.) Visually inspect the seal insert for pitting, corrosion, or grooves indicating wear. If pitted or badly corroded, the seal insert should be replaced. If lightly worn (grooved) the seal may be refaced. If the seal insert is bronze, and a monel insert is available, the bronze insert should be replaced with the monel insert. If a monel replacement is not available, the bronze insert may also be refaced. However, the bronze insert will continue to corrode even though refaced and should be replaced by a monel insert at the first opportunity.

5D11. Refacing the old seal insert. (See Figure 5-11.) Place the pump housing in a lathe. Align the housing up to 0.0005 inch, using a dial indicator on the monel liner face. Take light cuts across the seal insert face until score marks are removed. Undercut the inner face at the inside diameter of the insert 0.010 inch below the face of the seal insert. Occasionally when an old seal insert is refaced, enough metal is removed so that the

Figure 5-12. Pressing out rotary seal insert.

pump will leak when installed, due to a looseness between the insert, micarta ring, and the bellows. This may be remedied by disassembling the pump and stretching the bellows to take up the space between the bellows and the seal insert.

Figure 5-13. Installing rotary seal insert.
Figure 5-13. Installing rotary seal insert.

5D12. Replacing the seal insert. (See Figures 5-12 and 5-13.) Place the pump housing on the bed of an arbor press with the large end of the housing downward. Using a special rod as shown in Figure 5-12, press out the seal insert. To install a new seal insert, place the housing on the bed of an arbor press with the small end of the housing downward. Put a moderate amount of pipe compound on the outer surface of the shoulder of the insert and on the inner surface of the opening through the housing liner. Place the new seal insert in the housing with the shouldered end

  of the seal downward. Using a special seal installing tool as shown in Figure 5-13, press the seal insert into housing.

5D13. Refacing the new seal insert. (See Figure 5-11.) At manufacture, the dimensions of the seal insert are such that it may be faced to allow for removal of burrs or score marks from the seal surface after the pressing operation. This precaution is also taken to allow

Figure 5-11. Refacing rotary seal insert.
Figure 5-14. Checking rotary seal insert.

for facing the seal in the event it is not pressed true in the housing. Reface a new seal insert as follows: Place the pump housing in a lathe. Align the housing up to 0.0005 inch, using a dial indicator on the monel liner face. Take light cuts across the seal insert face until the proper dimension of 0.764 inch is reached and the face of the seal insert is smooth. This dimension is the distance from the monel liner face of the housing to the face of the seal insert, and is determined with a depth gage as shown in Figure 5-14.

5D14. Inspection of the seal ring. (See Figure 5-7.) Visually inspect the seal ring. The ring must be perfectly flat, or it should be 0.0005 inch thicker at its outer edge. If it is worn on either side, the ring should be replaced. The seal ring should always be

 
41

replaced if the rotary seal bellows or the seal insert surfaces have been changed. Some pump assemblies are still equipped with the carbon ring. Replace the carbon ring with a micarta ring. In emergencies when micarta seal rings are not available, a ring turned from lignum vitae would be satisfactory. Cut across the grain of the wood to the approximate size; soak in water for a day, and while it is moist, turn it to the exact thickness and flatness. This ring must be kept wet thereafter or it will warp out of shape, making it worthless.

5D15. Inspection and repair of the thrower disk and shield washer. (See Figure 5-7.) The thrower disk and shield washer need not be replaced unless they are badly worn or bent. Using a straightedge, inspect the pieces for flatness. Visually inspect the thrower disk and shield washer for burrs. Remove nicks from the inner surfaces of the thrower disk and shield washer with a bearing scraper. Remove score marks from surfaces with a finecut file.

5D16. Cleaning and inspection of the bearings. (See Figure 5-7.) Thoroughly clean the bearings with Navy-approved cleaning fluid. Dry the bearings thoroughly. In cases where the grease has become hardened within the bearing, the bearing should be allowed to soak in the cleaning fluid until the grease has softened, and then swished back and forth in the cleaning fluid until all grease and dirt are removed from the bearing. Visually inspect the bearings for pitting resulting from corrosion, and if they are pitted, replace the bearings. The bearings should be smooth and operate freely. Turn the bearing by hand, and note any clicking noise which indicates a cracked ball, or a piece of metal or dirt within the bearing. If the bearing is thoroughly clean, and clicking or binding exists when the bearing is rotated by hand, the bearing should be replaced: If the bearing is worn so that there is excessive side play, or excessive end play between races, it should be replaced. After cleaning and inspection, oil the bearings with light oil, and pack the bearings with grease, Navy, Symbol 14L3. Wrap the bearings in waxed paper until they are to be assembled.

  5D17. Cleaning and inspection of the bearing spacers. (See Figure 5-7.) Thoroughly clean and dry the two bearing spacers. Examine them for pitting, cracks, or scored end surfaces. Spacers with ends that are not smooth should be replaced. Measure the length of the spacers. The inner bearing spacer should be from 0.029 to 0.033 inch longer than the outer spacer in order that the bearings seat properly when assembled on the impeller shaft. The outer spacer should be 0.625 inch long.

5D18. Assembling the shaft and impeller. (See Figure 5-8.) Place the impeller shaft in the impeller hub. Align the hole in the shaft and the hole in the impeller hub, and install the pin that secures the shaft to the impeller hub. Be sure that the ends of the pin are flush with the impeller hub, and that the surfaces at the ends of the pin are smooth.

5D19. Installing the rotary seal bellows. (See Figure 5-8.) Place the rotary seal bellows on the impeller shaft with the recessed end of the bellows toward the impeller. Install the rubber gasket over the seal bellows and up against the impeller (not inside the bellows). Place the gasket ring over the bellows. Align the mounting holes in the gasket ring and the holes in the impeller, and install the eight screws which secure the gasket ring to the impeller. Check the dimensions of the rotary seal bellows as described in Section 5D8.

5D20. Installing the impeller assembly. (See Figures 5-7 and 5-15) Place the seal ring (micarta ring if available) over the impeller shaft and up against the face of the rotary seal bellows. Place the pump housing over the impeller shaft with the large end of the pump housing toward the impeller. Place the thrower disk on the impeller shaft with the large flat surface of the ring toward the impeller. Install the shield washer on the impeller shaft with the flat surface of the washer facing away from the impeller. Install the inner ball bearing on the impeller shaft with the shield end of the bearing toward the impeller. Place the inner and outer bearing spacers on the shaft so that they are adjacent to the inner ball bearing just installed. Fill the bearing spacers one-half full with grease, Navy Symbol 14L3.

Do not fill the spacers more than one-half full with grease.

Install the outer bearing on the impeller shaft with the shield end of the bearing facing away from the impeller. Carefully press the ball bearing on the impeller shaft by hand until the bearing is aligned with, and adjacent to, the inner and outer bearing- spacers previously installed. Place the toothed lock washer on the impeller shaft with the teeth facing upward (away from the impeller). Place the lock nut on the impeller shaft with the chamfered end of the nut toward the impeller. Using the special lock nut wrench (Figure 5-6), and holding the impeller blades with one hand, tighten the lock nut reasonably tight.

Do not force-tighten this nut, or the pin that secures the impeller shaft to the impeller hub will be sheared off.

Align one of the slots in the lock nut with one of the teeth in the lock washer, and bend the tooth upward to secure the lock nut in position.

5D21. Installing the end cap. (See Figure 5-7.) Place the end cap over the end of the impeller shaft and up against the small end of the pump housing. Align the mounting

Figure 5-16. Checking impeller clearance.
Figure 5-16. Checking impeller clearance.

  holes, and install the four screws that secure the end cap to the pump housing. There should be a gap of approximately 0.002 inch or more between the housing and the end cap. This end cap clamps the outer race of the outer ball bearing and therefore holds the entire ball bearing and impeller assembly in proper position. Do not file off or cutoff the end cap to eliminate this gap.

5D22. Checking the impeller blade clearance. (See Figure 5-16.) Using a thickness gage, check the clearance between the housing end of the impeller blades, and the monel liner of the pump housing as shown in Figure 5-16.

5D23. Installing the fan and coupling. (See Figure 5-7.) Place the fan on the impeller shaft with the hub of the fan toward the impeller. Align the setscrew in the fan hub with the flat side of the impeller shaft, and tighten the setscrew to secure the fan on the shaft. Place the half-coupling on the end of the impeller shaft with the lugs of the coupling facing away from the impeller. Carefully align the end of the coupling with the end of the impeller shaft and tighten the setscrew that secures the coupling to the impeller shaft. The face of the coupling must be flush with the end of the impeller shaft.

5D24. Installing the housing jacket. (See Figure 5-7.) Place the housing jacket in position over the pump housing, and install the four screws that secure the housing jacket to the pump housing.

5D25. Installing the pump cover. (See Figure 5-7.) Place the rubber cover gasket in the groove provided in the impeller end of the pump housing. Place the finned pump cover in position on the impeller end of the pump housing. Align the cover so that the vent cock is directly opposite the drip fitting on the pump housing. Install the 12 screws that secure the cover to the pump housing. The vent cock should be repaired at this time. Inspect and clean the vent cock as follows: Remove the nut or cotter pin that secures the spring and valve assembly in the vent cock body. Lift the valve assembly from the vent cock body. Clean corrosion from all parts of the vent cock, and lubricate with a small amount of waterproof grease.

5D27. Installing the pump. (See Figure 5-5.) Before installing the pump, test it under pressures up to 200 pounds per square inch at a speed as low as 1 knot in accordance with the instructions given in Chapter 7. Slide the pump assembly on the spacer rods, making certain that the went cock on the pump is facing upward. Be sure that the coupling on the pump drive motor shaft is flush with the end of the drive shaft. Place the rubber block in one half of the pump coupling. Move the pump to the left until the two halves of the coupling are properly engaged; then install the four nuts that secure the pump assembly on the spacer rods. Install the dynamic hose from the control unit on the upper nipple on the pump, and tighten the hose clamp to secure the hose to the nipple. Install the dynamic hose from the rodmeter on the lower pump nipple, and tighten the hose clamp to secure the hose on the nipple. Vent the system in accordance with the instructions given in Section 3A3.

E. MAINTENANCE OF PUMP DRIVE MOTOR
 
5E1. Removing the brushes. See Figures 5-17 and 5-18.) Remove the 10 screws that secure the cover on the rotary distance transmitter case and remove the cover. This is necessary in order to make the upper brush accessible. Remove the pipe plug from the bottom of the rotary distance transmitter case. Unscrew and remove the two caps (one on each side of the motor) that secure the brushes in position in the motor. Carefully lift the two brushes out of the motor.

5E2. Inspection and repair of the brushes. Visually inspect the brushes. They should show a polished surface on the end that contacts the commutator. The brushes should not be less than 3/8-inch long from the contact end to the shoulder where the brush spring is attached. Brushes showing wear nearing the 3/8-inch dimension should be replaced. If the brush contact surface is pitted, smooth off the surface, using fine sandpaper wrapped around a cylindrical object. The brushes can be

  rubbed across the surface without affecting the curvature of the face.

5E3. Installing the brushes. (See Figures 5-17 and 5-18.) Place the lower brush in the hole provided in the lower side of the motor. Compress the brush tension spring by hand, and install the cap which secures the lower brush in the motor. Install the upper brush in the hole provided in the top of the motor in the same manner. Install the pipe plug in the hole in the bottom of the rotary distance transmitter case. Install the case cover.

5E4. Removing the armature. (See Figures 5-17 and 5-19.) Remove the pump (see Section 5D3.) Remove the brushes (see Section 5E1). Remove the two screws that secure the gear guard to the rotary transmitter case and remove the gear guard. Loosen the socket head setscrew that secures the drive motor coupling on the motor shaft, and remove the coupling and rubber spacer. Remove the four screws that secure the back end shield on the motor

field ring, and remove the back end shield and armature assembly :from the pump motor. The armature assembly can then be carefully pulled out of the back end shield for inspection of bearings.

5E5. Inspection of the bearings. (See Figure 5-19.) Visually inspect the two bearings on the armature shaft for evidence of pitting due to corrosion. Turn the bearings by hand. They should turn easily and freely. A clicking noise indicates that one or more of the balls is cracked, and the bearing must be replaced. A damaged bearing is removed by using a bearing puller. Press the replacement bearing onto the shaft in place of the damaged bearing.

5E6. Assembly of the armature. (See Figures 5-17 and 5-19.) Align the worm, spacers, and bearing on the end of the armature shaft with the opening in the back end shield, and carefully push the armature assembly into the back end shield. Place the armature inside the motor, being careful when inserting the shaft through the opening in the front end shield. Align the mounting holes in the back end shield with the holes in the field ring, and install the four screws that secure the back end shield to the field ring of the motor. Turn the pump drive shaft by hand to be sure that the armature and gears are turning freely. Install the gear guard. Install the two brushes (see Section 5E3). Install the coupling on the armature shaft and secure with the setscrew provided. Install the rubber spacer. Install the pump (see Section 5D27).

5E7. Removing the pump drive motor as a unit. See Figure 2-8.) Disconnect the hose and remove the pump (see Section 5D3). Disconnect the armature and field wires from the

  terminal block on the bottom of the rotary distance transmitter case by removing the four screws from the terminal block and carefully lifting off the wire terminals with the blade of a screwdriver. Remove the gear guard. Loosen the two stop screws that secure the spacer rod in the motor mounting bracket, and pull the pump drive motor assembly to the left and off the rotary, distance transmitter case.

5E8. Installing the pump drive motor. (See Figures 5-17 and 2-8.) Align the two upper spacer rods with the motor mounting bracket, and slide the motor assembly to the right as far as the stop on the spacer rod will allow. Make sure that the gears at the left end of the motor are properly meshed and that the spacer rod is against the motor mounting bracket. There should be a slight amount of backlash between the two external gears. If the gears do not mesh properly when the stop is against the motor mounting bracket, it will be necessary to relocate the stop. This is accomplished as follows: Drill out the pin that secures the stop on the spacer rod. Slide the motor assembly to the right until the gears at the left end of the motor are properly meshed. Slide the stop over against the motor mounting bracket and locate the pinhole. Drill a hole through the spacer rod. Install a new pin through the stop and the spacer rod. Install the gear guard. Connect the two armature and the two field wires to the terminal block on the counter mounting plate inside the rotary distance transmitter case. The terminal block and terminals on the wires are marked for the location of wires. The corresponding terminals are marked as follows A+, A-, F+, and F-. Install the pump (see Section 5D27).

 
F. TRANSTAT ASSEMBLY
 
5F1. Removing the transtat assembly. (See Figure 5-20.) The transtat assembly is removed as a unit as follows: Remove the four screws and toothed lock washers that secure the transtat mounting base to the plate back of the rotary distance transmitter. Carefully lift the defective unit from the plate, and turn   the assembly to make the wire connections more accessible. Remove the nuts and flat washers that secure the wire terminals to the posts on the transtat assembly. Mark the wires for ready identification at assembly. Loosen the setscrew that secures the gear on the right side of the transtat assembly and

remove the gear. Place the gear on the new or rebuilt transtat assembly to be installed and

Figure 5-20. Removing transtat.
Figure 5-20. Removing transtat.

  tighten the setscrew to secure the gear on the shaft.

5F2. Installing the transtat assembly. (See Figure 5-20.) Place the new transtat assembly with its assembled gear in position in front of the rotary distance transmitter in such a manner that the wires can be connected. Place the three wires, previously marked, on their corresponding marked posts, and secure each terminal with a flat washer and nut. Place the transtat assembly in position on the mounting plate provided on the back of the rotary distance transmitter case, making certain that the gears are meshed, and install the four screws and toothed lock washers that secure the transtat assembly in the case. Rotate the transtat gearing by hand over its entire range and note the position of the center brush of the transtat at the instant the upper and lower limit switches are operated. The brush must still be on the transtat winding. Do not force the gearing beyond the point where the switches are actuated. If the brush is not on the winding at each position, loosen the three clamp screws passing through the core; shift the core radially to the proper position, and tighten the screws. Recheck for proper operation.

 
G. MAINTENANCE OF FOLLOW-UP MOTOR
 
5G1. Testing the follow-up motor. (See Figure 5-21.) Test the operation of the follow-up motor in the following manner: Remove the cover from the rotary distance transmitter case. Disconnect the wire lead from the center terminal on the motor terminal block. This terminal is marked C. Move the transtat brush arm well away from its limit switch. Using a screwdriver, alternately short-circuit the terminals marked CW and CCW with the center terminal. The motor will run first clockwise and then counterclockwise if it is operating properly. If the motor is binding, or inoperative, replace it.

5G2. Removing the follow-up motor. (See Figure 5-21.) Disconnect the wires from the terminal block on the motor. Tag the wires for ready identification. Remove the three

  screws and the toothed lock washers that secure the motor assembly to the mounting plate, and remove the motor.

5G3. Exchanging the pinion and spur gear assembly. The replacement of the spur gear on the follow-up motor follows exactly the same procedure as that described in Section 5M5 for the gear replacement of the lead screw drive motor.

5G4. Installing the follow-up motor. (See Figure 5-21.) Place the follow-up motor assembly in position on the mounting plate. Install the three screws and toothed lock washers that secure the motor to the mounting plate. Connect the wires to the terminal block on the motor. Tighten the terminal screws. Install the cover on the case.

H. REMOVAL AND INSTALLATION OF ARMATURE RECTIFIERS
 
5H1. Removing the armature rectifiers. (See Figure 5-22.) Burned-out rectifiers are detected by the presence of deposits of molten metal on the bottom of the rectifier disks. This metal has the appearance of melted solder. Remove the rectifiers in the following manner: Remove the case cover. Unsolder the lead wires to each armature rectifier and tag each wire to make certain that it is installed in the same position on the new rectifiers. Remove the four screws and toothed lock washers that secure the rectifier brackets to the mounting plate and remove both rectifiers as a unit.

5H2. Replacing the rectifier stacks in the rectifier assembly. (See Figure 5-22.) Remove the four nuts (two at each end) that secure the brackets to the rectifier studs, and remove the brackets. Save any spacer washers that may be installed on the rectifier studs for replacement on the new rectifiers. Place the spacer washers, if used on the old rectifier

  assembly, on the studs of the new rectifiers in the same position as previously installed.

This is important in order that the same space between the mounting brackets will be maintained.

Place the two rectifiers in the mounting brackets in the same position as the previously removed rectifiers, making certain that the name plates are facing in the same direction, and install the four lock washers and nuts (two at each end) that secure the brackets to the rectifier studs. If the replacement rectifiers have square plates (slightly higher current capacity) be sure that the bakelite spacer, furnished with this type, is properly installed between the two stacks. The spacer prevents the stacks from touching if they should become loose during operation. The angle brackets provided are held between the inside face of the mounting brackets and the adjacent nuts. Two spacer washers may be

removed to compensate for the thickness of the two angle brackets.

Be sure to hold the lock nut adjacent to the inside of the bracket while tightening the outer nut to prevent the distortion of the plates.

  5H3. Installing the armature rectifier. (See Figure 5-22.) Place the rectifier assembly in position on the mounting plate and secure with the four screws and toothed lock washer provided. Connect the wires to the terminals with solder.
 
I. REMOVAL AND INSTALLATION OF FIELD RECTIFIER
 
5I1. Removing the field rectifier. (See Figure 5-22.) Evidence of a burned-out field rectifier is the presence of deposits of molten metal on the bottom of the plates. Remove the field rectifier as follows: Unsolder the lead wires from the rectifier terminals. Tag the wires for location. Remove the four screws and toothed lock washers that secure the rectifier assembly to the counter mounting plate, and remove the rectifier.   5I2. Installing the field rectifier. (See Figure 5-22.) The new rectifier and brackets are replaced as a unit. Place the rectifier assembly in position on the counter mounting plate. Install the four screws and toothed lock washers that secure the rectifier assembly to the counter mounting plate. Connect the lead wires to the rectifier terminals with solder.
 
J. REMOVAL AND INSTALLATION OF SELF-SYNCHRONOUS TRANSMITTER
 
5J1. Removing the distance transmitter. (See Figure 5-23.) Remove the cover from the case. Remove the two screws and toothed lock washers that secure the counter mounting plate to the transmitter mounting strap, and swing the counter assembly to one side out of the way. Remove the four screws and toothed lock washers that secure the transmitter mounting strap to the mounting cradle, and remove the strap. Pull the motor out of the cradle as far as the wires will allow, and disconnect the two wires from one of the brush blocks, and three wires from the opposite brush base. Tag the wires for identification. Lift the transmitter from the case. The other transmitter is removed in the same manner.

5J2. Installing the distance transmitter. (See Figure 5-23.) Place the transmitter on the

  forward edge of the case so that the wires may be connected. Connect the three wires to the terminals in the rear brush block. Connect the two wires to the front brush base. Place the transmitter in position in the cradle with the gear on the shaft properly meshed with the slow speed gear train in the case. Place the mounting strap in position and install the four screws and toothed lock washers that secure the strap to the cradle. Place the counter mounting plate with the counter in position on the transmitter mounting strap, making certain that the dowel holes in the plates are properly aligned with the dowel pins on the strap. Install the two screws and toothed lock washers that secure counter mounting plate to the transmitter mounting strap. The other transmitter is installed in the same manner. Install the case cover.
 
K. MAINTENANCE OF CONTROL UNIT
 
5K1. Checking and cleaning the contact points. (See Figure 2-7.) Remove the cover from the control unit case and place the top of the cover on the lower dowel pin of the case in such a manner that the dowel pin hole in the top edge of the cover is engaged in the bottom dowel pin in the case. Secure in this   position with one screw. This causes the unit to hang level in the gimbal bracket. It is apparent that the control unit contact points are not properly adjusted if the pump motor does not stop running when the rodmeter is secured, and the bypass valve on the control unit is open.

5. STATIC PRESSURE VALVE
Figure 5-24. Valves in position for adjusting contacts.

Clean the contact points in the following manner: Insert a piece of ordinary note paper between the contact points. Manually press the contact arm against the paper and adjacent contact point, and drag the paper across the points. This will usually remove any film of oil or dirt which may be present on the points. If this does not stop arcing between the points, clean the contact points with fine crocus paper or with a jeweler's file. Operate the system on the static head to determine whether this procedure has remedied the trouble.

5K2. Checking the position of the contact arm. (See Figure 5-25.) Remove the cover from the control unit case and hang it on the lower dowel pin. Place the valves in position for adjusting the contacts (Figure 5-24.) This places the static pressure only on both sides of the bellows, insuring that it is in the neutral, or center, position. Unless otherwise specified, all adjustments on the control unit are made with the valves in this position. Adjustments can be made while the ship is underway on the surface, but not while submerged. Back off screws No. 2 and No. 7 until

the stationary contact levers are completely open. Check to see that arm No. 9 is centered between stationary contact points No. 3 and No. 6. Manually move arm No. 9 upward and downward to see that it works freely and returns to the center position. If it is in good order, adjust the contact points as described in Sections 5K3 and 5K4. If the contact arm does not move freely or if it cannot be moved to each side of its center position because the internal lever strikes a stop rod, the interfering stop rod will have to be backed off slightly in the manner described in Sections 5K9 and 5K10. If the stop rods do not interfere and the arm still does not return to the center position, it will be necessary to attempt to position the contact arm by adjusting the

contact arm clamps. This is performed in the following manner: position.Remove the pipe plug from the end of the case to make the inner clamp accessible, as shown in Figure 5-26. Slightly loosen the inner clamp screws. Slightly loosen the clamp screws from the outer clamp. Carefully hold the arm in the center position with one hand, and tighten the outer clamp screws so that an equal space is maintained between the clamp and the end of the arm. Then carefully tighten the inner clamp screws in the same manner. Clamp screws must be securely tightened, and equal space must be maintained between the inner surfaces of the contact arm and the bearing plate at the bellows housing. If the arm continues to bind, it is an indication of corrosion or damaged inner parts of the bellows assembly or faulty bellows linkage installation. If this is the case, disassemble the bellows as described in Sections 5K12 through 5K16. Inspect, clean, and repair parts if necessary, as described in Section 5K17. Assemble the bellows as described in Sections 5K18 through 5K29. Adjust the contacts as described in Sections 5K3 and 5K4. Reset the stop rods as described in Section 5K8, 5K9, and 5K10.

  5K3. Adjusting the upper contact without using the lamp. (See Figure 5-27.) Adjusting the contacts without using a test lamp is the regular procedure used. However, an alternate method of adjusting the contacts with the use of a test lamp is also employed. Both methods are explained.

Set the valves and vent cocks as shown in Figure 5-24. This insures equal pressure on the bellows. Deenergize or turn off the 2Y circuit on the control board. Remove the cover from the rotary distance transmitter, and disconnect either the 2Y1 or the 2YY1 wire from the left end of the terminal block. This is done to prevent the pump from operating while adjustments are being made. Energize the 2Y circuit by turning the control panel switch to the ON position. Manually push down the external contact arm until the transtat brush arm in the rotary distance transmitter travels approximately one-third of its distance from the lower limit switch. This allows sufficient movement of the brush arm while making adjustments. Turn down screw No. 5 until the follow-up motor in the rotary distance transmitter starts running smoothly. When the upper contacts first touch, the follow-up motor will operate unevenly. Continue to turn down screw No. 5 slowly, three-quarters of the distance between the holes in the head of the screw (approximately 15 to 18 degrees). Secure screw No. 5 in this position by means of the lock screw in front of the contact mounting bracket.

5K4. Adjusting the lower contact without using the lamp. (See Figure 5-2$.) Break the electrical contact on the upper lamp socket by loosening the terminal screw and removing one wire from the terminal. This is done so that the transtat motor will operate when both contacts are touching. Normally the transtat motor will not operate when both contacts are touching the: contact arm. Turn up screw No. 6 until the follow-up motor in the rotary distance transmitter just starts operating, then back off screw No. 6 slowly, three-quarters of the distance between the holes in the screwhead (approximately 15 to 18 degrees). Secure screw No. 6 in this position by means of the lock screw in front of

the contact mounting bracket. Reinstall the wire terminal on the terminal of the upper lamp socket. This is necessary in order that the follow-up motor will run down. The follow-up motor should then run down until the transtat brush arm hits its lower limit switch. If the brush arm does not hit the lower limit switch and the follow-up motor does not stop, it is an indication that the contact points were not set properly. Personnel will have to reset the contact points, being very careful to slowly turn the contact adjusting screws the proper amount as discussed above.

5K5. Preparing the system before adjusting contacts with the test lamp. This is an alternate method of adjusting the contact points. Two lamps are provided to make this adjustment. These lamps are mounted in a bracket in the upper right side of the control mounting plate. Use only one lamp when making this adjustment. The other lamp is a spare only. Set the valves and vent cocks as shown in Figure 5-24, in order to insure equal pressure on the bellows. Deenergize, or turn off the 2Y circuit switch on the control panel.

  Remove the cover from the rotary distance transmitter. Disconnect either the 2Y1 or the 2YY1 wire from the left end of the terminal block in the rotary distance transmitter. This is done to prevent the pump from operating while adjustments are being made. Energize the 2Y circuit from the control panel. Manually push down on the contact arm until the transtat brush arm travels approximately one-third of its total distance from the lower limit switch. This allows sufficient movement of the brush arm while making adjustments. Move the wire from the upper terminal to the lower terminal of the upper lamp socket as shown in Figure 5-27. The lower lamp socket is prepared in the same manner as shown in Figure 5-28.

5K6. Adjusting the upper contact using the lamp method. (See Figure 5-27.) Remove one of the lamps from the bracket in the rear of the case. Install the lamp in the upper socket. Turn down screw No. 5 until the lamp burns without flickering. Then slowly continue to turn down screw No. 5 for three-quarters of the distance between the holes on the screwhead

(approximately 15 to 18 degrees). Secure screw No. 5 in this position by means of the lock screw on the upper contact bracket.

5K7. Adjusting the lower contacts, using the lamp method. (See Figure 5-28.) Remove the test lamp from the upper socket and install it in the lower lamp socket. This breaks the contact in the upper socket, and permits proper adjustment of, the lower contact. Turn screw No. 6 slowly upward until the lamp glows; then slowly back off screw No. 6 until the lamp does not glow. Continue to back off screw No. 6 slowly for three-quarters of the distance between the holes in the screwhead (approximately 15 to 18 degrees). Secure the screw in this position by means of the lock screw in front of the mounting bracket. Remove the lamp from the socket and install it in the carrying bracket back of the control mounting plate. Remove the wires from the upper and lower lamp socket terminals and install them in their original position on the sockets as shown in Figures 5-27 and 5-28. If the follow-up motor in the rotary distance transmitter does not drive the transtat brush arm to the lower limit switch, it is an indication that the contacts are not properly adjusted, and that the operation of the adjusting contact points will have to be repeated. Check the setting of the upper and lower stop rods and reset if necessary (see Sections 5K8, 5K9, and 5K10) before operating the log. The contact setting made may be thrown off adjustment if the stops are incorrectly set.

5K8. Adjustable stop rods. (See Figure 529.) Two adjustable stop rods are provided in the bellows assembly to limit the upward and downward motion of the bellows, thus preventing possible damage to the interior parts of the bellows housing, and to the contact mechanism at times of excessive pressure differences. These pressure differences often cause the bellows to stretch slightly from the newly installed position and consequently necessitate adjustment of the stops as well as of the contact points. Older type bellows assemblies are equipped with stop rods that are only partly threaded throughout the length of the rod. In the event that these old

  Figure 5-29. Adjustable stop rods installed.
Figure 5-29. Adjustable stop rods installed.

type rods become damaged or stripped, the complete bellows assembly must be disassembled to remove them. In the newer type of bellows assembly, the stop rods are threaded throughout the entire length and may be removed without dismantling the bellows housing.

5K9. Setting the lower adjustable stop rod. (See Figures 5-29, 5-30, and 5-3l.) Remove the cover from the control unit case. Unscrew and remove the lower cap to make the lower stop rod accessible. Remove the pipe plug from the dower side of the case. Using the socket wrench, loosen the lock nut that secures the stop rod in position. Place a finger on the contact arm and hold the arm slightly downward. Turn the lower stop rod inward (clockwise) until the stop rod contacts the bellows stud and starts to push the contact arm upward. Continue to turn the stop rod until the gap between the upper contact points is reduced to approximately 1/32-inch.

Tighten the lock nut to secure the stop rod in this position. Set the valves and vent cocks as shown in Figure 5-42 (Position 7). This causes the water to force the bellows downward. The upper contacts should be open approximately 1/32-inch. If the points are not open this amount, reset the lower stop rod. Make certain that the lock nut on the lower stop rod is tight. Install the lower cap. Turn the valves and cocks to the desired position.

5K10. Setting the upper adjustable stop rod. (See Figure 5-31.) Remove the pipe plug from the upper end of the case to make the stop rod accessible. Remove the cap from the top of

  Figure 5-31. Setting upper adjustable stop rod,

the bellows housing. Using the socket wrench as illustrated in Figure 5-31, loosen the lock nut on the stop rod. Turn the stop rod downward (clockwise) while holding the contact arm up against the upper contact screw until the stop rod contacts the inside of the bellows head. Continue to turn the stop rod until the gap between the lower contacts is reduced to approximately 1/32-inch; then tighten the lock nut on the stop rod. Set the vent cocks and valves as shown in Figure 5-42 (Position 3). Water pressure will now force the, contact arm upward. The lower contacts should be open approximately 1/32-inch. If the contacts are not open this amount, reset the upper stop rod. Make certain that the lock nut on the stop rod is tight. Install the cap on the bellows housing. Turn the valves and vent cocks to the desired position. Check the operation of the system by operating it on the static head as described in Section 5A2.

5K11. Checking the control unit after adjustment. Check the control unit, after adjusting the contact point and setting the stop rods, in order to make certain that the unit is operating properly. Perform the following operations: Deenergize the 2Y circuit by turning the switch on the control panel to the OFF position. Reconnect the 2Y1 or 2YY1

 
56

circuit, whichever was previously disconnected, in the rotary distance transmitter. Energize the 2Y circuit. Operate the system on the static head as described in Section 5A2. The system should operate and register approximately 5 to 10 knots, depending on the waterline above the unit. The transtat brush arm should oscillate or hunt slightly. Turn the valves and vent cocks to position (Figure 5-24). The transtat arm should drive down until the pump and motor stop, and should then continue to drive down until the follow-up motor is stopped by the limit switch. If satisfactory, turn the valves and vent cocks to the secured position or the operating position, whichever is desired.

5K12. Removing the control unit from its case. (See Figure 5-32.) Remove the cover retaining screws and the cover. Remove the static and dynamic hose from the nipples.

  Break the piping unions and remove the two hexagonal nipples. Disconnect the three wire leads that connect the outside current source with the terminal block and pull the wires to one side out of the way. Remove the three screws and toothed lock washers that secure the mounting plate to the case, and lift the plate and the assembled control unit out of the case by means of the handles provided.

5K13. Removing the bellows assembly from the plate. (See Figure 5-33.) Disconnect the pigtail wire from the terminal on the auxiliary center contact block. Remove the handle screws and the two handles. Unscrew and remove the handle studs that secure the bellows housing to the mounting plate, and remove the studs and complete bellows assembly. Be careful that the contacts on the external contact arm are not damaged.

5K14. Removing the bellows housing corer. (See Figure 5-34.) Remove the external arm clamp retaining screws and clamps, and remove the contact arm. Remove the three screws that secure the housing and cap with the lower adjustable stop screw to the housing cover. Drain the water from the bellows. Remove the cap screw from the bellows extension post, and the ten housing cover screws and lift the housing cover from the assembly.

5K15. Disassembly of housing cover. (See Figure 5-38.) Remove the shoulder screw that secures the shaft seal bellows to the contact lever shaft. Detach the two pillow blocks and bearing assemblies from the housing cover after removing the shoulder screws. (The external contact arm was removed previously.) It may be necessary to tap the end of the contact arm shaft lightly with a soft hammer or wooden block to loosen the bearings and sockets. Remove the contact lever shaft. Detach the bellows seal cap after removing the three seal cap screws. Remove the shaft seal bellows, bellows stud, and gasket.

the bellows to prevent damage to any rubber parts. Carefully examine the bearings; Turn the bearings slowly by hand. They should turn freely. A clicking noise and binding indicate cracked balls.

5K18. Installing the pressure bellows in bellows housing. (See Figure 5-35.) Place the bellows gasket in the recess provided in the bellows housing. Carefully place the bellows on the top of the gasket so that the bellows flange is properly seated over the gasket. Place the bellows holding the ring over the bellows. Align the mounting holes and install the ten screws that secure the ring to the housing. Check the length of the pressure bellows with the bellows extension post installed. Adjust the free length of the bellows so that the top of the extension post projects 31/32-inch outside of the outer (machined) surface of the bellows housing.

5K19. Assembling and installing the bellows housing cover. (See Figures 5-37, 5-38, and 5-39.) Mount the seal bellows and stud with a gasket in the housing cover. Place the cover with a rubber gasket on the bellows housing. Then carry out the following procedure:

1. Align the seal bellows stud with the bellows extension post, and loosely install the cap screw that secures the seal bellows stud

to the bellows extension post. Tighten the seal bellows cap retaining screw.

2. Assemble the ball bearing in the pillow blocks (one to each block) and install the ball bearing retainers on the pillow blocks. Assemble the pillow blocks on the ends of the contact lever shaft (one at each end), then place the contact lever shaft in position over the seal bellows and adjacent to the bellows housing cover with the side of the shaft marked TOP toward the cover. Secure the pillow blocks to the cover with four screws (two to each block).

3. Install the seal bellows shoulder screw through the hole in the contact lever shaft, and tighten the screw securely.

4. Tighten the cap screw that secures the seal bellows stud to the bellows extension post.

5. Assemble the lower adjustable stop screw in the following manner: Install the

 
59

short screw into the gland nut. Slide the gland liner on the stop screw with the concave surface of the liner facing away from the head of the stop screw. Place sufficient packing against the concave surface of the liner; then screw the stop-screw assembly into the housing end cap. In replacing the packing, do not use more than necessary, as too much will prevent the proper adjustment of the stop screw. Be sure that the stop screw is well backed out. Place the stop screw assembly in position on the bellows housing cover, being sure that the gasket is in place, and secure with the three screws provided. Tighten securely.

6. Assemble the upper adjustable stop screw in the housing cap in the same manner as the lower stop screw. Be sure that the stop screw is well backed out of the cap. Install the housing cap with its assembled stop screw on top of the bellows housing.

5K20. Checking the bellows assembly for friction. Temporarily install the external

  contact arm and clamps on the contact arm shaft. Move the contact arm upward and downward. If the arm operates stiffly in one direction, unscrew the adjustable stop rod on the stiff side of the arm. Set a small tool or block at the outer end of the external contact arm to act as a marker. Manually move the contact arm first in one direction and then in the opposite direction, approximately 1/32-inch each way. The arm should return to its original position if the bellows components were properly installed. If the bellows contact arm does not return to its original position, the bellows should be disassembled, and the cause of the binding determined and eliminated. Remove the contact arm and clamps from the bellows cover. Install the balance of the cover screws. Place the bellows subcover and its gasket in position on the housing cover, and secure with the six screws provided.

5K21. Installing external contact arm. (Figures 5-40 and 5-41.) Place the external contact

and install the four handle studs that secure the housing to the plate. Remove the terminal screw from the right side of the auxiliary center contact block. Lift of f the wire, and place the pigtail connection on the block. Place the wire over the pigtail and install the terminal screw. Place the handles in position on the studs, and install the handle retaining screws.

5K23. Aging the bellows. (Figure 5-42.) Aging the control unit bellows is necessary any time a new bellows is installed, or if the old bellows has been bent out of its normal position. The bellows, like any metal spring, will return to a certain position when an applied pressure is released, unless the pressure has been sufficient to bend it and cause the bellows to set in a new position. If there are stresses retained in the metal from bending or stretching, the bellows will not return at once to the original position, but may creep slowly to that point. To be certain that all stresses are removed from the bellows it should be put through an aging operation. The aging operation consists of impressing a pressure first on the inside of the bellows and then on the outside, while gradually reducing the impressed pressure to zero.

The equipment necessary to perform the aging operation is a 2-gallon tank with pressure gage, and connections capable of withstanding a pressure of 20 pounds per square inch. A pressure storage tank such as that illustrated in Figure 7-1 may be used. Fill the pressure tank approximately one-half full of water. Connect the line from the tank to the dynamic and static connections of the control unit. Vent the control unit. Make certain that the adjustable stop rods have been positioned by turning in each rod until it touches the bellows and then backing off exactly two full turns so as to have the movement on each side of the bellows equal. Loosen the contact arm clamps. With valves and vent cocks in position as shown in Figure 5-24, build up a pressure of 20 pounds per square inch in the tank. Follow the sequence of valve operations as shown in Positions 1 to 9 (Figure 5-42), being careful to permit all the water to flow from the bellows before changing the valves and cocks to the next position. Repeat this operation until the pressure in the tank reaches zero.

5K24. Installing the control unit in its case. (See Figure 2-7.) Lift the control unit into the control unit case, and secure with the three screws and lock washers. Connect the lugs on the ends of the electrical leads to the terminal block on the upper right of the mounting plate.

5K25. Installing the piping assembly. (See Figure 2-7.) Loosen the gland nuts on top of the control unit case; and place the nipples through the top of the case and into the top of the bellows housing, using a small amount of pipe compound on the threads. Tighten the nipples securely so that the tops of the lower half of the unions are parallel. Place the valve piping assembly in position on top of the nipples, with the copper tubes inside the nipples, and tighten the unions securely. Test the complete unit for leaks with 300 pounds per square inch of water pressure. (The bypass valve must be open.) Place the hose- from the rodmeter on the static nipple (right-hand). Place the hose from the pump on the left-hand nipple and tighten the hose clamps. Fill the system with water and vent

it as described in Section 3A3. Center the contact arm, adjust the contact points and stop screws (see Sections 5K2, 5K3, 5K4, 5K9, and 5K10). In this case, the top contact adjusting screw is advanced only 1/2-hole, and the bottom screw is backed off 1/2-hole. The stop screws in the modified control unit are adjusted in the same manner as the stop rods in the older installation, except that the special stop rod wrench and screwdriver are not needed. Place the cover in position on the control unit case and secure with the cover retaining screws.

L. CONTROL UNIT PIPING
 
5L1. Description of modified control unit piping assembly. Most submarine control units are equipped with the conventional type of piping assembly as shown in Figure 5-44. Some, however, are equipped with a modified piping assembly that contains a safety pressure relief assembly as shown in Figure 5-45. This is a safety feature which protects the bellows when the pressure difference across the bellows exceeds approximately 25 pounds per square inch. Such a difference will occur if a hose should blow off, or if the unit is vented incorrectly when submerged. When the pressure difference exceeds 25 pounds per square inch, the diaphragm will rupture,   4. Install the vent cocks in the T-fittings. Use pipe compound.

5. Assemble the left-hand street ell, nipple, and fixed block, and install the left-hand street ell in the left-hand T-fitting. Use pipe compound.

6. Assemble the pipe fitting into the right-hand street ell, using pipe compound.

7. Slide the gland nut, bakelite washer, rubber slip joint washer, and movable block onto the pipe nipple.

8. Align the fixed and movable blocks, and loosely install the four lower movable block screws.

thereby equalizing the pressures on both sides of the bellows and protecting the bellows from distortion.

5L2. Modifying the control unit piping assembly. (See Figures 5-45 and 5-46.) Modify the control unit piping assembly as described in the following steps:

1. Unscrew and remove the vent cocks.

2. Remove the elbows, but leave the elbow nipples installed in the cross-connector.

3. Install T-fittings in place of the elbows in the cross-connector. Use only a small amount of pipe compound on the threads.

  9. Insert the platinum diaphragm into the gap between the blocks. Make certain that the diaphragm is properly aligned within the blocks to prevent damage to the diaphragm when the remainder of the screws are installed in the blocks.

10. Install the remainder of the block retaining screws and tighten all screws.

11. Hold the blocks with a wrench and tighten the gland nut securely.

12. Test the complete unit for leaks with 300 pounds per square inch of water pressure. The bypass valve must be open.

5L3. Testing for leaky or punctured diaphragm. Operate the system on the static head as described in Section 5A2. If water drips continuously out of the open vent cock, it is an indication that the diaphragm is punctured.

5L4. Replacing a damaged diaphragm. (See Figure 5-45.) Hold the movable and fixed blocks with a wrench, and loosen the gland nut. Remove the two top screws from the movable block, and loosen the remainder of

  the block screws. Separate the movable block from the fixed block sufficiently to remove the damaged diaphragm. Remove the damaged diaphragm. Insert the new diaphragm between the blocks, making certain that it is aligned properly within the blocks. The diaphragm must be 0.0008 inch thick (Pitometer Log Corporation S1452B). Install the two top movable block retaining screws, and tighten all screws securely. Test for a leaky diaphragm as described in Section 5L10.

Align the pin screw hole and install the pin screw and setscrew to secure the small gear on the jackshaft.

5M11. Removing the follow-up contact assembly. (See Figure 5-55.) Remove the brush block assembly (see Section 5M9). Remove

  the spiral take-up spring (see Section 5M10). Remove the starting condenser from the back of the main mounting plate as described in Section 5M47. This makes the top bracket mounting screws accessible. Remove the two top bracket retaining screws and lock washers. Loosen the mounting screws on the differential top bracket, differential bottom bracket, and the main mounting bracket, so that the brackets can be slightly lifted to allow for the clearance of the dowel pins on the top bracket. Lift all the brackets away from the main mounting plate and remove the top bracket with its assembled follow-up contact assembly as shown in Figure 5-55. Remove the lock nut, tension spring, washer, and the follow-up contact assembly from the follow-up shaft.

5M12. Removing the slip ring and contact assembly. (See Figure 5-55.) Remove the follow-up contact assembly as described in Section 5M11, in order to get proper clearance for the removal of the slip ring and contact assembly. Remove the pin screw and loosen the setscrew that secures the slip ring and contact assembly to the differential shaft. The slip ring and contact assembly is removed as a unit (see Figure 5-57).

5M13. Repairing the follow-up contact assembly. (See Figure 5-56.) Under ordinary circumstances the follow-up contact assembly is replaced as a unit. However in an emergency the follow-up contact can be replaced as follows: Remove the screws from the bakelite disk, and unsolder the lead wire from the contact arm. Place the new contact arm in position on the bakelite disk, and secure with the screws provided. Solder the lead wire to the contact.

5M14. Repairing and adjusting the slip ring and contact assembly. (See Figure 5-57.) Smooth the contact points with a jeweler's file, and remove fine particles; oil, or grease with clean cloth or paper. If .the contact points are badly worn, or pitted, unscrew the contact screws from their mounting brackets, and install new contact screws.

ready identification. Remove the four screw; (two on each brush base) and lift off the two molded brush bases.

5M38. Maintenance of the brushes. (See Figure 5-71.) Clean the silver brushes and split rings thoroughly with crocus paper. The in. side surfaces at the ends of the brushes should be 9/16-inch apart when the brush is in the free position. Greater spacing than this is an indication of a weak brush spring. The brushes must be free on their mounting studs without excessive binding.

5M39. Installing the brushes. (See Figure 5-71.) Carefully install the brushes and brush bases on the repeater. Be sure to align the brushes carefully with the slip rings to prevent bending of the brushes. The brush bases are of a different size to prevent error in positioning them. Install the four brush base retaining screws (two on each base). Install the brush inspection plate and name plate.

5M51. Setting the lower limit switch. (See Figure 5-52.) Whenever the subassemblies of the master speed indicator are removed for purposes of cleaning, replacement, or repair, the unit must be recalibrated. The following operations are performed; Reassemble the instrument with the exception of the dial and pointer. Back off the lower lead screw limit switch, operating the screw several turns. With the instrument electrically connected to the rotary distance transmitter by means of the plug-jack cord, energize the electrical circuits, and allow the lead screw driving motor to adjust the position of the friction roller to the zero position. The friction disk should be rotating, and the roller should be stationary at its center position on the disk. Install the dial, pointer, and pointer hub. Do not install the hub cap at this time. Loosen the screws securing the pointer in position   on the hub, and set the pointer to zero. Tighten the screws to lock the pointer in the zero position, and install the hub cap. Turn up the lower limit switch operating screw so that it will open the circuit of the constant speed (synchronous) motor when the pointer reading is 0.075 knots.

5M52. Aligning the speed repeaters with the master speed indicator. (See Figure 5-74.) The transmitter driven gear of the master speed indicator is temporarily set to the zero position as described in Section 5M46. Have a crew member hold the pointer of the speed and distance indicator on zero, as described in Section 5M46. Loosen the locking screw (Figure 5-74), and turn the adjusting screw until the speed pointer is set to the exact corresponding reading of the pointer in the master speed indicator. Tighten the locking screw.

5N8. Removing the speed regulator assembly. (See Figures 5-78 and 5-80.) Remove the two speed regulator shutter screws and the speed regulator shutter. Loosen the two setscrews that secure the speed regulator on the armature shaft and slowly remove the speed regulator. It is necessary to remove the speed regulator slowly from the armature shaft as the spring tension on the brushes that are behind the regulator assembly may cause them to spring out of their brush boxes and become lost. Lift the brushes from their brush boxes.

5N9. Cleaning, inspection, and repair of the speed regulator. Clean the parts in Navy-approved cleaning fluid. Examine the speed regulator brush and spring assemblies. If the brush or its attached spring is damaged, replace the complete brush and spring assembly. If the contact surfaces of the brushes are pitted, smooth them off with fine sandpaper. Examine the speed regulator contact points (Figure 5-79). Clean the pitted points with a jeweler's file. If the contact points are badly worn or burned, replace the complete speed regulator assembly.

5N10. Adjusting the speed regulator contact points. (See Figure 5-79.) Check the gap between the speed regulator contact points with a thickness gage. The points should be open 0.020 inch. Adjust the gap to 0.020 inch by means of the outer and inner contact adjusting screws. The gage should slide freely between the contact points without binding.

  5N11. Installing the speed regulator assembly. (See Figures 5-78 and 5-79.) Carefully place the spring ends of the brush assemblies in their brush boxes. Place the metal surface of the speed regulator against the brushes, and gently compress the brush springs and brushes into the brush boxes by moving the speed regulator on the armature shaft. When the regulator is against the shoulder of the shaft, tighten the two setscrews that secure the regulator to the armature shaft. Place the speed regulator shutter in position on the speed regulator housing, and install the two speed regulator shutter screws.

5N12. Removing the armature assembly. (See Figure 5-80.) Remove the terminal box cover from the a.c. and d.c. terminal boxes, and disconnect the wires leading to outside sources. Tag the wires for ready identification. Remove the commutator shutter (see Section 5N2). Remove the collector ring shutter (see Section 5N5). Remove the speed regulator (see Section 5N8). Remove the commutator brushes (see Section 5N2). Remove the collector ring brushes (see Section 5N5). Carefully remove the spring terminals from the brush boxes in the speed regulator (Figure 5-78). Be sure to tag these wires for ready identification as they must not be reversed at assembly. Remove the four screws that secure the speed regulator housing to the armature cover, and remove the speed regulator housing. Remove the screws that secure the grease cap to the collector ring cover, and remove the grease cap. Remove the shaft nut and lock nut from each end of the shaft. Remove the screws that secure the collector ring cover to the frame and move the cover to one side out of the way. It is not necessary to disconnect the wires connecting the cover and the windings in the converter frame. Tap the end of the armature shaft lightly with a soft hammer or wooden block to loosen the armature assembly. Remove the armature assembly from the frame. Remove the ball bearing and grease from the collector ring cover and armature cover.

fluid. Do not saturate electrical wiring with the cleaning fluid. Inspect the bearings for a pitted condition resulting from corrosion. Carefully turn the bearings by hand. A clicking noise or binding indicates chipped or cracked balls. Replace damaged bearings. Undamaged, or new bearings should be lubricated with ball and roller bearing grease, Navy symbol 14L3.   heavily damaged threads should be trued up with a stock and die. Inspect the commutator and collector rings. If they are pitted or show uneven wear, true them up in a lathe. The commutator of a new armature is 2 3/8 inches in diameter. Commutator bars have a wearing depth of 3/16-inch. If the commutator has worn to a diameter of less than 2 inches, replace the armature assembly.

Wrap the bearings in wax paper or cloth if they are not needed immediately for assembly. Inspect the grease seals. Replace torn or otherwise damaged seals. Inspect both ends of the armature shaft for burrs or rough spots. Remove the burrs or rough spots with a fine-cut file and polish the shaft with crocus cloth. The threads on the shaft should be clean and true. Remove light burrs from the threads with a knife-edge file. More   5N14. Assembling the rotary converter. (See Figure 5-80.) Place the grease seal and ball bearing in the opening provided in the armature cover. Place the armature assembly in position in the converter frame. Place the collector ring cover on the frame. Install the grease seal and ball bearing in the opening provided in the collector ring cover. If necessary, tap the outer race of the bearing lightly with a soft hammer to properly seat the bearing.

Install the shaft nut and lock nut on each end of the armature shaft. Allow a shaft end play of 0.010 inch when installing the shaft nuts.

Place a coating of ball bearing grease around the seal in the speed regulator assembly. Hold the housing in its approximate position near the end of armature shaft and insert the two wire leads through the opening in the lower part of the housing, while carefully sliding the housing on the armature shaft. Install the four screws to secure the housing to the armature cover. Connect the wires to the terminals on the brush holders by slipping the spring terminals over the brush holders (Figure 5-78). Be sure to install the wires on their correct terminals, as reversing the terminals will cause reverse polarization with consequent rapid deterioration of the metal contacts and early failure of the converter.

Place the grease cap assembly on the collector ring cover, and secure it with the four screws and toothed lock washers provided. Install the regulator assembly (see Section 5N11). Install the collector ring brushes (see Section 5N7). Install the commutator brushes (see Section 5N4). Install the shutters on each end of the converter and secure the shutters by tightening thumbscrew. Connect the wires to the terminal blocks in the a.c. and d.c. terminal boxes. Install the covers on the terminal boxes.

5N15. Checking operation of the clock in the constant frequency control unit. (See Figure 5-81.) If the white lines of the phonic wheel motor appear stationary when viewed through the cover window, check the accuracy of the clock as follows: Allow approximately half an hour for the unit to warm up. Using a reliable stop watch, check the clock over a period of at least 2 hours. The clock should of show an error greater than 5 seconds per hour. Slight changes in the tuning fork frequency, and hence in the controlled frequency and speed of the clock, may be made by moving the driver (right-hand) phone unit by means of its adjusting nuts. Moving the unit toward the fork slows the clock action; moving the unit away from the fork speeds the clock

  action. The phone units should not be tampered with or adjusted unless absolutely necessary. After adjustment be sure to tighten the unit securely in its new position.

5N16. Checking speed of the converter. (See Figures 5-79 and 5-81.) If the white lines of the phonic wheel motor rotor do not appear stationary when viewed through the cover window, check the speed of the converter as follows: Remove the cover from the constant frequency control unit. Connect a jumper wire between the 10K and 10K1 terminals. This shorts out the rheostat. Energize the 10K circuit. Using a reliable stop watch, check the accuracy of the clock over a period of 5 minutes. If the clock is slower than 1.5 seconds per minute, deenergize the 10K circuit, remove the shutter of the speed regulator assembly, and back off the top adjustable contact screw (Figure 5-79) approximately a one-eighth turn, and recheck the clock. Repeat this adjustment, if necessary, until the desired accuracy is obtained. If the clock is faster than 0.5 second per minute, back off the inner adjustable contact screw until the required accuracy is obtained. Replace the speed regulator shutter. Deenergize the 10K circuit, and remove the jumper wire from the 10K and 10K1 terminals.

5N17. Visual check of the control unit. (See Figure 5-81.) When the unit is regulating properly, the rheostat slider should be away from the end of the rheostat and should be hunting slightly, an indication that it is continually making slight adjustments. If the rheostat slider does not regulate as described above, deenergize the 10K circuit, and allow the rotor of the phonic wheel motor to come to rest. See that all the shafts and gears are free to operate properly. Observe the tuning fork while the circuit switch is being closed. The clapper of the starting magnet should strike the fork and start it vibrating. Within a few minutes the neon light below the phonic wheel motor should glow. If the neon lamp fails to glow, visibly check the tubes to see whether or not they are incandescent. If the tubes are in good condition, and the fork still does not sustain vibration,

5N19. Final checking of control unit. (See Figure 5-81). If the tubes are in good condition and there are no defective transformers, coils, resistors or condensers, but the fork still will not sustain vibration, run in the pick-up (left-hand) phone unit slightly. Recheck the operation of the unit. After the above adjustment has been made so that the fork will sustain vibration, check the accuracy of the clock (see Section 5N15). It may be necessary to make slight adjustments of the driver (right-hand) phone unit as described in Section 5N5. If the synchronous motor and clock do not operate, check the wiring, brushes, and windings of the converter. If the synchronous motor alone does not operate, but the clock does operate, check the motor wiring (Figure 5-86) and also check the starting condenser. Replace the part as a unit if it is defective.

5N20. Removing the rheostat. (See Figure 5-82.) Remove the case cover. Loosen the screws that secure the clock to the support studs. Lift the clock off the studs and place it to one side. Remove the two screws that secure

5N49. Removing the variable resistors. (See Figure 5-81) The two variable resistors are located on the right side of the main mounting plate above the synchronous motor. Remove the nuts from the resistor mounting, studs. Mark the position of the resistor clamps on the resistors. Unsolder the wires and tag them for ready identification. Remove the resistors from the studs.

5N50. Installing the variable resistors. (See Figure 5-81.) Place the resistors on their

  mounting studs. Place the resistor clamps in their original position. Solder the wires to the terminals on the resistors. Install the two nuts (one on each stud) that secure the resistors to the studs.

5N51. Removing the rectifier. (See Figure 5-81.) Unsolder the wires from the terminals of the rectifier and tag the wires for ready identification. Remove the two screws that secure the rectifier unit to the main mounting plate and remove, the rectifier.

5N52. Installing the rectifier. (See Figure 5-81.) Place the rectifier in position on the mounting plate. Install the two mounting screws. Solder the wires to the terminals on the rectifier.

5N53. Removing the 50,000-ohm resistor. (See Figure 5-81.) Mark the position of the variable resistor clamp on the resistor. Unsolder the Wires from the resistor terminals. Remove the two screws that secure the resistor mounting bracket to the plate, and remove the resistor.

5N54. Installing the 50,000-ohm resistor. (See Figure 5-81.) Place the resistor in position on the mounting plate, and install the two mounting screws. Place the variable resistor clamp in the position marked on removal. Solder the wires to the terminals on the resistor.
