AN/SSQ-4
TECHNICAL DESCRIPTION
FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION
Operating Voltages and Power Requirements:
The AN/SSQ-4 is used to stabilize radar antennas. It
440v, 60 cps, 3-ph; 115v, 60 cps, 1-ph
determines the roll and pitch angles, and converts roll and
Servo Roll Limits: 30%
pitch to level and cross level signals. Roll, pitch, level, cross
level and deck train (deck tilt correction) signals are
Servo Pitch Limits: 12%
transmitted to other units of the stabilizing system. The set
Own-Ship Speed Synchro Input: 40 knots per rev-
has an alternate arrangement whereby it can either receive
olution for turn corrector
relative bearing and transmit deck train, or receive train and
Own-Ship Course Synchro Input: 1-speed for
transmit deck tilt correction. Input and outputs are received
and transmitted entirely by synchro signals.
Relative Bearing Synchro lnput: 1- and 36-speed
for data converter
Roll and Pitch Angle Output: 2- and 36-speed
RELATION TO SIMILAR EQUIPMENT
Level and Cross-Level Angle Output:
2- and 36-speed
Deck Train Signal Output: 1- and 36-speed
None.
INSTALLATION CONSIDERATIONS
Not available.
