Description: |
Long wave search sets, installed on destroyers and larger ships to search for planes and surface vessels and for control of interception. All sets have an "A" scope, provision for IFF connections, and work with a gyro-compass repeater. |
|
Transportability: |
Shipment includes spares for each set. If separate generator is needed, it is included in shipment. Not air transportable. |
|
Installation: |
Has 5 components weighing a total of 1,800 lbs. Weights and dimensions of antenna assembly is 450 lbs. 6'11.5" x 8'6". Antennas should be mounted as high as possible, preferably 100 feet or more, above other superstructures. |
|
Personnel: |
One operator per shift is minimum on all 3 sets. |
|
Power: |
Requires primary power of 1500 watts at 115 volts, 60 cycles. Uses ship's power of 115 volts, 60 cycles; transformer, if ship's power is 440 volts AC or 220 volts AC; motor generator if ship's power is DC. |
|
Notes: |
Improved version of SC. There is no elevation control on any of the sets, but height can be estimated roughly from positions of minimum signal strength. |
