What are the pros to sampling with the glass thief sampler? | Tool is cost effective, quick and disposable |
M4A1 JCAD definition | Portable, battery operated point sampling detector that continuously samples the air for gases and vapors, identifies CWAs vapors and issues visual and audible alarms in the event of detection |
What are the two operating modes for a JCAD? | Monitor and survey |
Monitor-mode definition | Takes samples of the environment every 5 seconds |
Survey-mode definition | Takes samples of the environment every second and can be used to check specific areas in cargo, equipment, personnel or facilities |
What are the pros of operating a JCAD? | Lightweight, hand portable, battery charged, two audible indicators for agent detection and equipment status |
What are the pros of operating a JCAD? | Detection cycle designed to conserve battery life, can be operated in PPE and can detect nerve and blister agents in vapor form |
What kind of agents can the JCAD detect? | Nerve and blister agents in vapor form |
