Applications
GE SM-TT&C carrier kill switches were used in satellite ground station control systems for remote RF carrier switching and signal isolation. These matrix panels typically served mission control and telemetry facilities requiring redundant switching capability for command uplinks and telemetry downlinks. Applications include defense and commercial satellite operations where reliable RF path control was required.
This GE SM-TT&C Carrier Kill Switch was pulled from a working environment where it was in active use. It has been inspected and appears to be in good condition. The chassis and front panel are in good shape with normal handling wear. The interior components — including the Trans-Tel TRMS50M and T1-113E4M-1 RF coaxial switch modules — are intact and properly wired. Both redundant 24V power supply indicator LEDs (A and B) are present on the front panel. Some oxidation is visible on the PS1/PS2 power connector bodies on the interior side panel, as seen in the photos. The Sector Motor Industries SMP-508 matrix panel identification plate is present and legible on the rear. Please view our photo set and contact us if you have any questions.
