The M767A1 electronic time fuze can be set by hand or with the M18 combination fuze-wrench and setter. True or False?

The M767A1 electronic time fuze can be set by hand or with the M18 combination fuze-wrench and setter. True or False?

• A. True
• B. False
• C. By hand only
• D. By wrench only

Answer: (B)

Timed fuzes like the M767A1 require a dedicated setting tool to ensure safe and accurate timing. The electronic timer is designed to be programmed only with the authorized setter device, in this case the M18 combination fuze-wrench and setter, which engages the timing mechanism correctly and safely. Hand setting is not permitted because it bypasses the built-in safety and arming sequence, and could lead to incorrect delay or accidental initiation. Therefore the statement is not true—the M767A1 cannot be set by hand; it must be set with the M18 tool.
