CHEMICAL AGENT DETECTION AND ALARM SYSTEM
M43 CHEMICAL AGENT DETECTOR: Senses the presence of very low concentrations of chemical agents and
breathable aerosols. Contaminants are sensed by the detector, and an electrical signal is sent to the chemical agent
alarm. The detector unit may be operated using power from the vehicles electrical system; it also may be battery
operated.
M42 CHEMICAL AGENT ALARM: Signals to crew members that chemical agents have been sensed by the M43 detector.
The alarm may provide an audible and visual signal or a visual signal only, depending on setting.
