10 W.S.c

(10 Watt Sender)

 

This is the standard transmitter for German WWII tanks and other armored vehicles. It is a part of the Fu 5 system that also includes the Ukw. E. e receiver. Both the receiver and transmitter have the same frequency scale and control mechanism. There are two click-stop station pre-sets, and an air core capacitor for matching antenna impendence.

The MO is of the Hartley variety with a tapped induction coil in the oscillator tank circuit.

POWER SOURCE:
12-volt vehicular storage battery through dynamotor (Umformer) German type U10al. Current drain from 12 volt battery 7.2 Amperes (normal) for tone (key down) or voice; 4.5 amperes for tone (key up) and 1.9 amperes for standby. Power requirements, Plates: 350 volts, 100 mA; Filaments: 12.6 volts, 2 Amperes; Dial Lamp 12 volts, 0.14 Amperes
SIMILAR SETS :
10.W.S.h, 10.W.S.m, also SCR-508(FM), SCR-608(FM).
POWER OUTPUT:(WATTS)
6.5 (normal) and 10 (maximum). Maximum is obtained by pressing red push-button switch marked "Oberstrich" (power increase); used when aligning the antenna and emergencies.
TUBES (TYPE and NUMBER):
one RV 12 P4000 (modulator and tone oscillator) and two RL 12 P35 (master oscillator and power amplifier).
USE:
In armored vehicles for short distances; in tanks generally for communication between tank company and tank battalion headquarters; and in stationary installations for short range communication with marine stations. These transmitters can also be used in the nets with American AM sets within the frequency and distance range. They were designed to be used with receivers Ukw.E.e.
TYPE OF SIGNAL:
