MIL-DTL-81919C(AS)

3.3.1.1 Description. The description shall cover physical and electrical characteristics of the

equipment. The description shall include the materials, shape, etc., and shall list major component

parts, each preferably being a part which has some particular function. The description shall

reference a table giving the physical (dimensions, weight, etc.) and electrical (power requirements,

output, etc.) characteristics of the equipment. The description shall be supported by one or two

3/4 view (isometric) illustrations. The views depicted shall indicate the placement, verbiage, and

appropriate indexing for color requirements of all stenciled or painted markings. The description

shall contain the functional element of "controls and indicators". A separate operation instruction

manual shall not be referenced for "controls and indicators".

3.3.1.1.1 Controls and indicators. The functional element of "Controls and Indicators" shall

provide the purpose, use, and function of all operating controls and auxiliary equipment, or

attachments furnished with the equipment. The coverage shall also provide interpretation of

typical instrument readings (with acceptable limits stated) and indictor presentations to inform the

operator what recognizable results should be expected during each mode of operation. The data

shall be presented by an illustration and related table, referenced from a brief paragraph explaining

the purpose and scope of the coverage, as required:

a. Illustration. (See MIL-DTL-81927.) The purpose of the illustration is to identify each

control and indicator, placard data, and location. The figure title shall identify the end item

nomenclature and "Controls and Indicators". Each control or indicator shall be identified

by an index number (with leader line) identifying the location and related placard data.

Index numbers shall be assigned in logical sequence related to location of the item. The

illustration may be a partial-page, full-page, multiple view, or foldout illustration, as best

suited to the combined presentation requirements.

b. Table. (See MIL-DTL-81927.) The purpose of the table is to provide the required data

for each control and indicator. The table shall be prepared as a full-page-width numbered

table in accordance with MIL-DTL-81927. The table title shall identify the end item

nomenclature and "Controls and Indicators" (identical to the figure title). The table shall

provide, but not be limited to, the following coverage:

(1) "Figure (*)/ Index No." column. (* Insert figure number of related illustration.) This

column establishes the content of the table. Each index number contained on the

illustration shall be listed in numerical sequence.

(2) "Ref Des" column. The item's reference designation shall be entered:

(3) "Nomenclature" column. The complete item nomenclature shall be listed. Complete

placard data shall be listed below the nomenclature in parenthesis. Complete placard

data shall include the appropriate functional (section and/or group) prefix(s).
