TMOS Principles of Operation

The TMOS is comprised of three different systems that have been incorporated to enhance the ability to monitor and exploit weather events.
The systems include weather equipment for monitoring changing weather conditions.

Weather Equipment

Pressure Sensor, PMT16A: measures pressure from 600 to 1100 hPa.
Wind Sensor, WMS302M: measures wind speed from 0.5 to 60 m/s and wind direction from 0 to 359°.
Sensor Arm QMA102M: includes a rain gauge that measures rain fall from 0.2 mm (1/128 in) to 144 mm/h (5.7 in/h).
Temperature and Humidity Sensor, HMP45DX: measures temperature from -40 to +60 °C (-40 °F to +140 °F) and humidity from 0 to 100%.
Ceilometer, CT25KAM: measures cloud height up to 7.5 km (0 to 25,000 ft).
Present Weather Detector, PWD11A or PWD22M: identifies 7 different types of precipitation or fog, mist, haze, or clear.
Lightning Detector, SA20M: detects lightning within a 90 km (50 nmi) radius.
RF Modems, RFM96W: operate at frequencies from 138 to 74 MHz and have a range of 200 ft to 5 miles.
Auto-Restart Cable, RA-TM-PW-ARC-01: operates with an input voltage range of 0 to 280 Vac and an operating frequency of 50/60 Hz.

TODO Account Management

A Government-Owned, Contractor-Operated (GOCO) TODO TM Account has a government ship-to address and is established for direct support of a day-to-day government mission/activity.
TODOs are required to support the government mission and are independent of the contract.
The TM Account is established and managed on a government installation computer network (forms and orders submitted from a “.mil” or “.gov” domain).
These TODOs are considered government TODOs (TM account code F*xxxx) and are allowed to FTP TO Publication Requests directly to the Tinker gateway.

Equipment Maintenance and Repair

Failure to work with a Technician may lead to an incorrect part being replaced, causing a longer downtime for the system.
When a problem or issue cannot be fixed over the phone or through email correspondence, contact the Raytheon Tactical Weather Help Desk to arrange the shipment of a replacement part.
The Raytheon Tactical Weather Help Desk Technician will request the serial number of the broken part (when applicable) and send a return-shipping document, ensuring no out-of-pocket expenses for the shipment.
Prior to shipment, the customer must provide the failure, warning or alarm messages, or physical damage to the part, and prepare the damaged part for shipping by cleaning and packaging in the original container.
The customer's local Transportation/Shipping Office can help with proper packaging.

Health and Safety Concerns

Figure 1-3 depicts parts returned to Raytheon from different locations, showing hazardous conditions, such as bird droppings, which can be dangerous to handle.

Safety Precautions

Handle ESD sensitive components on a properly grounded and protected ESD workbench to prevent damage from electrostatic discharges.
Ground yourself to the equipment chassis before touching the boards, or use a wrist strap and a resistive connection cord, or touch a conductive part of the equipment chassis with your other hand.
Always hold boards by the edges and avoid touching the component contacts.

Class 1 LASER Product
