combinations of firing that can be obtained by
positioning of the two rotary selector switches (BURST
RATE and SINGLE/DOUBLE) on the pod control
indicator. There is also a reset switch and reset light
indicator on the pod control indicator so the
intervalometer can be recycled to the starting
position.
Cockpit Control Indicator
The cockpit control indicator (fig. 10-26) is an
optional feature of the dispensing set. The controls on
the cockpit control indicator override those on the pod
control indicator, letting the operator select the burst
rate and dispensing pattern after the aircraft is airborne.
In addition to the burst rate and single or double
rotary switches, the cockpit control indicator has four
pod select switches, a power ON switch, and four chaff
remaining counters. This gives the pilot individual or
simultaneous control of four separate dispensing sets
while airborne. The cockpit control indicator has no
reset feature. When the aircraft doesn't use the cockpit
control indicator, any 28-volt dc power source having a
cockpit control switch may be used for operation.
When the system is used, the burst rate and dispensing
pattern are controlled by the preset controls on the pod
control indicator.
