Cockpit Control Indicator

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. 10-43) 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.
