Auxiliary Input

During installation an auxiliary input may be connected to the horn ring or other switching device. It provides the same operation as pressing the Horn button or optionally the Man/Phsr button.

Cutout

During installation a cutout input may be connected to a door switch. It turns off any siren tone when the door is opened. The siren tone will continue to be cut off even when the door is closed. Changing any siren control switch or input will restore normal function.

Horn Ring Cycler (Optional)

During installation, the auxiliary input may be connected to the horn ring or other switching device, and the HRC option programmed. With the mode switch set to the Standby position, the horn ring can be pressed repeatedly to select the Wail, Yelp, Phaser and Standby tones or modes in succession. Operating any other switch resumes normal operation. Please note that this option disables Phaser selection in the Wail or Yelp selector switch positions.

LIGHT SYSTEM CONTROLS

This unit provides large, durable switches for light control function. A 4-position lever switch provides control of primary lighting functions. It also provides automatic activation of the siren system.

Setting the siren control switch to the On position can turn on backlighting of the light control switches.

Lever Switch

The lever switch provides additive control of lighting functions. Position 1 turns on a

single lighting function, such as lights pointing to the rear. Position 2 turns on an OFF additional light function, such as lights pointing to the front. Position 3 turns on an additional 3rd lighting function, such as strobes. Position 3 also turns on a siren function (see below). The installer determines actual function.

Automatic Siren

Position 3 of the lever switch provides automatic siren control. With both siren control rocker switches set at center position (Stby/Off) the unit will activate the Wail siren tone. With the siren control switches set at Yelp/Off position 3 will activate the Yelp siren tone. The Man/Phsr and Horn switches will operate as if the siren control switches were set at the corresponding positions. PA override is also functional. Automatic siren operation will not work if the right siren control switch is set in the Rad position or the installer has disabled the function.

Rocker Switches

Four rocker switches are provided for various other lighting functions, such as alley lights, deck lights, headlight flashers, etc. The switches light when turned on for night use.

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.
