NT-23445 Remote Channel Selector
remote-23211A-201.jpg (292831 bytes)

Remote Channel Selector System (CQC-23445, CQC-23497, CQC-20409) manual

The NT-23445 selector unit is contained in a cast aluminum housing which is suitable for bulkhead or top-of-table mounting. A telephone dial, synchro indicator, and an OFF-ON switch are mounted on the front panel. Also mounted on the front panel is a card holder containing a set of cards on which data regarding the ten channels may be marked. A terminal tube is supplied for the cable lead, which is attached at the bottom of the case when the unit is mounted on a bulkhead, and at the back of the case when the unit is mounted on a table top. This unit, when connected into the system for which it was designed, provides remote control for either TDZ or RDZ for selection of any channel in the controlled equipment. Refer to figure 3-30. When the OFF-ON switch, S301, is set to ON, the unit may be operated for control purposes. When the dial is moved in a clockwise direction to the finger stop, the off-normal contacts dose and remain closed until the dial returns to the normal position. When the dial is released, the impulse contacts open and close to pulse an associated loop circuit in the controlled equipment. The resistor network associated with the stepper switch K116 in the TDZ transmitter is energized through various relays, and returns to the M301 indicator the necessary intelligence to operate the receiver selsyn and indicate the channel selected. Setting switch S301 to the OFF position electrically removes this unit from the system.

All of the controls operated at this unit are mounted on the front panel. When the LOCAL/REMOTE switch, S106, mounted on the front of the TDZ Transmitter is set to REMOTE, the Control Indicator Unit may be operated. A START-STOP switch, S405, enables the transmitter to be energized or deenergized from a remote position. A red indicator lamp, I401, indicates when primary voltage is applied to the transmitter and this control unit. A key jack, J403, is provided on the front panel for the hand-key plug. Normally, MCW operation may be .accomplished only from a remote position. Two jacks, J401 and. J402, are employed for connecting a handset to the unit. RECEIVER switches S401 and S402 connects either the No. 1 RDZ/RDZ-1 or the No.2 RDZ/RDZ-1 to either or both handset jacks. Audio level controls R403 and R404 adjust the audio-level input to each of the handsets.
    A push-to-talk switch is provided on the handset for energizing the transmitter. Transformer T401 serves as the microphone input transformer, and capacitor C401 serves as a filter to isolate the d-c voltage from the audio circuit. The push-to-talk button energizes relay K401, which completes the circuit through the CARRIER ON indicator lamp, I402. This relay also disables the two speakers which may be connected to this control unit. A switch, S404, is provided to mute either one or both of the speakers.
    Channel selection for either of two receivers or a transmitter may be controlled from this unit. A telephone dial is provided for this purpose. When the unit selector switch, S403, is placed at either RECEIVER 1, RECEIVER 2, or TRANSMITTER position, the selected receiver or transmitter may be dialed for channel selection. The switch returns to its OFF or normal position after the selection is made. Three d-c selsyns, 1403, 1404, and 1405, are used to indicate which channel has been selected on any one of the receivers or transmitter. These d-c selsyns are identified with markings so that each may be associated with the. proper unit.

Remote power control of  2 UHF transmitters - co-located with C-1138/UR or similar radiotelephone control box.

The C-1277 allows an operator to energize one or both transmitters (only one at a time if they are on the same frequency). It is suggested that the labels "No.1" and "No.2" be replaced by "FORE" and "AFT" after installation

c1277-sr-03.jpg (77100 bytes)

C-1277/SR is used with Antenna AS-668/SR and Relay Assembly RE-156/SR. Two of these antennas, each fed by a separate UHF transmitter (such as the TED-9) are mounted shipboard so as to give omni-directional horizontal coverage. 

RE-156/SR
