positioning of the two rotary selector switches (BURSTRATE and SINGLE/DOUBLE) on the pod controlindicator. There is also a reset switch and reset lightindicator on the pod control indicator so theintervalometer can be recycled to the starting position.Cockpit Control IndicatorThe cockpit control indicator (fig. 10-43) is anoptional feature of the dispensing set. The controls onthe cockpit control indicator override those on the podcontrol indicator, letting the operator select the burst rateand dispensing pattern after the aircraft is airborne.In addition to the burst rate and single or doublerotary switches, the cockpit control indicator has fourpod select switches, a power ON switch, and four chaffremaining counters. This gives the pilot individual orsimultaneous control of four separate dispensing setswhile airborne. The cockpit control indicator has noreset feature. When the aircraft doesn’t use the cockpitcontrol indicator, any 28-volt dc power source having acockpit control switch may be used for operation. Whenthe system is used, the burst rate and dispensing patternare controlled by the preset controls on the pod controlindicator.For further information on the AN/ALE-37A chaffdispensing set, you should refer to CountermeasuresChaff Dispensing Set, AN/ALE-37A, NAVAIR16-30ALE37-1.REVIEWER 6Q1.
