INSTALLER-SELECTABLE OPTIONS

Carefully cutting programming resistor jumpers or traces on the printed circuit board inside the case can select various options. The cover must be removed to access the jumpers. The cover is held in place by a snap-fastener on the back of the unit. Hold the unit with the front case flange on the edge of a hard surface and press hard on the back of the unit. The chassis will slide out the front of the cover.

Auxiliary Input Function - The auxiliary input normally activates the Horn function. To activate the Man/Phsr function with the auxiliary input cut the jumper resistor labeled "AUX I".

OPTION JUMPERS

Auxiliary Input Polarity - The auxiliary input is normally activated by connecting to ground. To activate by connecting to positive cut the jumper resistor labeled "AUX P".

Cutout Input Polarity - The cutout input is normally activated by connecting to ground. To activate by connecting to positive cut the jumper resistor labeled "CUT P".

Two-Tone- Two-Tone can replace Phaser by cutting the jumper resistor labeled "T-T".

Phaser Disable - The Phaser function can be completely disabled by cutting the jumper resistor labeled "PHSR".

Horn Ring Cycler option (HRC) - This option allows selection of Wail, Yelp, Phaser and Standby by repeatedly pressing horn ring or other switch connected to the auxiliary input. It is selected by cutting both the "AUX I" and "PHSR" jumper resistors. This disables Phaser operation in the Wail or Yelp positions

Horn Disable - The Horn function can b e disabled by cutting the trace on the back of the board at the location designated "cut to disable horn".

Cut to Disable horn

Automatic Siren Disable - To disable automatic siren operation when the lever switch is in position 3, cut and remove the red wire attached to the lever switch relay board inside the unit.

LCS-7-01 specifications

Carson LCS-7-01 is a notable entry in the U.S. Navy's Littoral Combat Ship (LCS) program, designed to enhance maritime security and facilitate a range of naval operations. Commissioned in 2020, LCS-7-01 showcases advanced technologies and features that underscore its role in modern naval warfare.

One of the primary characteristics of LCS-7-01 is its modular design, allowing for rapid reconfiguration of mission capabilities. This enables the ship to operate effectively across diverse maritime environments, whether in anti-submarine warfare, mine countermeasures, or surface warfare. The ship’s versatility is paramount in addressing emerging threats and responding to evolving maritime challenges.

The vessel is powered by an innovative combination of diesel engines and gas turbines, delivering a top speed exceeding 40 knots. This impressive speed ensures quick maneuverability, allowing it to swiftly engage in missions and conduct high-speed operations. LCS-7-01 is equipped with a shallow draft, enabling access to coastal areas and shallow waters that larger vessels cannot navigate.

One of the standout features of the Carson LCS-7-01 is its sea frames, which integrate advanced technologies to enhance situational awareness and operational effectiveness. The ship utilizes an advanced combat management system that incorporates Automated Information Systems (AIS), radar, and sensors to provide a comprehensive real-time view of the operational environment. This capability is indispensable for coordinating multi-domain responses to threats.

LCS-7-01 also boasts a flight deck capable of supporting various helicopter and unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) operations. The ability to deploy and recover aircraft enhances the ship's surveillance and reconnaissance capabilities, crucial for successful mission execution. The hangar can accommodate several UAVs and support their maintenance, enabling extended operational capabilities.

In addition to its technical specifications, LCS-7-01 emphasizes crew comfort and efficiency. The ship is designed for a smaller crew, which promotes operational efficiency while ensuring crew members can live and work comfortably at sea for extended periods.

In summary, Carson LCS-7-01 is a cutting-edge naval platform characterized by its modular design, high speed, advanced sensors, and operational flexibility. Its capabilities are vital in addressing the complexities of modern maritime operations, ensuring the U.S. Navy remains prepared to respond effectively to diverse threats across littoral regions. With its advanced technologies and versatile mission profile, LCS-7-01 stands as a significant asset in the Navy's fleet.
