|
| 2. |
TEST Switch |
Tests digital display segment and indicator
lamps (RND REM), and subsystem (including helicopter wiring) from end to
end (excluding firing circuits). |
| 3. |
ZONE ARM
(Zone Arming) Indicator/Switches |
Pressing appropriate ZONE ARM switch arms
selected zone. When any one zone is selected (armed) all other zones with
identical rounds are automatically armed and visually indicated by
appropriate ZONE ARM switch(es). Any round selected by pressing a ZONE ARM
switch, which is different (different zone) will automatically de-arm
previously selected zone(s). |
| 4. |
PEN-M

Permits pilot to select tree height range
detonation (in five meter increments), superquick detonation or bunker
penetration detonation.

penetrate canopy of forest or building and detonate at more
effective point |

BNK |
— |
Bunker penetration — to defeat bunkers
(logs and dirt) up to 3 meters thick. |
|
SQ |
— |
Superquick — detonates when fuze makes
contact with any object. |
|
| 5. |

Indicator/Selector |
| F |
— |
FAST, fires rockets at 60 plus or minus 6
milliseconds intervals. |
| S |
— |
Slow, fires rockets at 180 plus or minus
18 millisecond intervals. |
| A |
— |
Automatic, enables system to set firing
interval from predetermined rates that would be programmed for each
type of rocket / fuze combination that is available for selection. |
|
| 6. |

— |
4 x MODE setting of rounds selected. |
|
2 |
— |
2 x MODE setting of rounds selected. |
|
1 |
— |
1 x MODE setting of rounds selected. |

be used by FCC for ballistics solution and time of function data to
be accepted by RMS from FCC. |
|
|
|
|
| Right Indicator / Selector |
|
|
|
|
|
Numerals |
— |
