Overview

Fig 1 top view

Fig 2 Illustration from manual

This is a battery powered set designed to be buried with the antenna and daylight sensor above ground.  It detects changes in it's RF field at 60 & 57.5 MHz and will transmit an alarm around 168 MHz when it detects a change above some threshold.  I think that not only will it detect people (or large animals) at about 120 feet and also vehicles at longer ranges but also any radio transmissions that might impair it's operation.
The date codes are for the early 1970's.

There is a label on the top that says:

OVERHAULED
TOBYHANNA ARMY DEPOT
DATE    MAR 81 The Surveillance Systems Directorate has jurisdiction for sensors.  They are in Pennsylvania.

Key Components

Main Electronics sub-assemblies

The main electronics are contained in the top half of the case.  The lower half holds the battery.

BA-1549U Battery - Battery Box CY 7046/GSQ-160

The battery box is just the lower half of the GSQ-160 case.
Has the following outputs:

• + 4 Volts
• - 4 Volts
• + 30 Volts

Since the batteries are hard to come by and the connector is not one I know, I plan to use some of the unused pins on the GATE DB25m connector for power.  Both the GATE connector and Plug 1 are on the A6 motherboard.
Pin 12 will be -4 VDC - to A6 Green wire
Pin 13 will be +4 VDC - to A6 Blue wire
Pin 25 will be +30 VDC - to A6 Orange wire

Fig 3 Battery Plug P1 schematic

MX-8846/GSQ-160 Detecting Transmitting Set Sub Assembly

The top half case has a 6 pin male plug that goes into the battery.  There is a center pin with a flat and 6 smaller pins.  Two of the smaller pins are ground contacts, but I have yet to determine which pin is what voltage. Drawing showing battery connector, tamper switch, GATE DB-25m. (You need the Free Volo or WHIP! Viewer from Autodesk). 

Fig 4 Bottom View	Fig 5 Chassis Removed	Fig 6

A1 Sensor Oscillator

This board contains two oscillators, one at 60 MHz and another at 57.5 MHz.  They drive the antenna with about 1 milliwatt of power.  These signals provide the EM field that detects changes in impedance.
This is NOT a seismic or magnetic detector, but rather an Electromagnetic filed based detector (Wiki).

There is also a mixer that combines the transmitted and received signals to produce a 2.5 MHz output.

A2 Supplemental Circuits

There are functions for:

• daylight detection - either 24 hrs per day or night only operation
• tilt detection - destroy some electronics if unit is tilted or mechanically shocked while armed
• low battery detection - destroy some electronics if battery goes low
• battery case tamper switch - destroy some electronics if if battery case is opened
• Recovery Code switches - destroy some electronics if if wrong recovery code is set and unit is turned off
• + and - 2.8 VDC voltage regulator from + and - 4 V switched batt
• Disable pulse generator (3.5 Volts @ 30,000 Ergs) - to destroy A7 electronics

A3 2.5 MHz Signal Processor

This analog circuit does some primary signal processing on the 2.5 MHz signal.

A4 Secondary Processor

Does log, filtering and anti-log operations and generates the alarm pulse.
A mute pulse also generated that is used to shut down the 57.5 & 60 MHz transmitter as well as stop signal processing during an alarm.

A5 Antenna Coupler

This is really a diplexer that allows the 60 & 57.5 MHz sensing RF go to the antenna and also allows the 162 - 174 MHz alarm transmission to also go to the antenna.  A5 is part of the Plate with 3 screws
Note "G-7 Recovery code stenciled on bottom.

A6 Electrical Chassis

Contains the Off - Test - Arm switch, the daylight sensor, the two recovery code switches and a motherboard for the other modules to connect to each other.

To remove chassis from top half:

• Remove coax connector "J1" that has a "wheel" attached with your fingers.
• Remove 4 slotted head screws in the bottom of compartment
• Remove 3 each #2Philips screws from top of compartment.
• Separate chassis from lid but be careful since they are still connected by man wires
• Confirm Recovery code by continuity test between Red and Brown wires going to Recovery Switches.  Only when the correct code is set (G7 in this case) will there be continuity.  In this case the white jumper wire goes from position 8 to position 8.  If the switches are labeled as:
•  1   2  3  4  5  6  7  8  9   10  11   12
  
• Set  A  B  C  D  E  F  G  H   I    J    K   
  
• Set  1  2  3  4  5  6  7  8   9   10   11
you can see that 8-8 corresponds to G-7.
• CUT THE RED WIRE - in case you have a unit where the destruct pulse has not done it's damage, prevent damage from happening!

There is also a DB-25m connector (A6J5) that is for use with the GATE test equipment. In the Photo you can see the tamper switch on the left, the cylindrical tilt switch "A5" and A6J5 connector.

• 1  -2.8 VDC supply though 1 K Ohm
• 3  +2.8 VDC supply though 1 K Ohm
• 5  + 4.0 VDC  supply though 1 K Ohm
• 7 Average Input Frequency
• 9 Alarm Inhibit
• 11 +30 VDC supply though 1 K Ohm
• 14  -4.0 VDC  supply though 1 K Ohm
• 16, 19, 21 & 23 Common
• 18 Primary Output
• 20 Alarm Monitor
• 22 Detection Alarm Threshold
• 24 Log Compresson Output

The Battery Connector has 6 male pins.  The longer bigger center pin has a flat.
When looking at this connector with the flat down:

• the pin directly above the center pin (12:00) is ground
• the pin at 2:30 is +4
• the pin at 5:00 is +30
• the pin at 7:00 is ground
• the pin at 9:30 is -4

A7 Data Transmitter has 3 modules

Fig

This consists of three parts.  These parts are not covered in the manuals for the AN/GSQ-160 and are used in other military equipment.  These parts all are cylinders 2.75" in diameter and all have a common connector that is a ring with 92 pins and 4 coaxial connectors that are 90 degrees apart labeled A, B, C and D (not part of the pin numbering system).  There are 4 versions of this connector here: TA383 both male and female pins and the module is just under an inch long TA385 has only male pins like on the transmitter Male End TA386 has Female pins and wires going to the GSQ-160 or other equipment

 I think that this connector system was developed by Sandia.  In the case of the TA385 combined male and female connector that all the pins go straight through (I will check this).  If that's true then maybe you can install these 1" high modules in any order.  They would take their power form known pins and send their outputs to pins that were only used for that purpose.  More on this after some Ohm meter work. Table showing 92-pin wiring for the 3 cylinders.

25 Sep 2002 - I now think this is the same modular system used to build sonobuoys.  The frequency range of the transmitter matches the assignments for sonobuoys.
14 April 2023 - After learning about Sonobuoys it think they need to be light weight, like Radiosondes, and the TCnnn series of modules are very heavy so would not be used in Sonobuoys because of their heavy weight.  The ADSID is noticeably heavy.

TC432 Code Plug

TC432 male end	TC432 SM-D-171730 34372, ODE PLUG NOMEN KY-677 /GSQ DAAB07-71-C-0048 S/N 01492 MAR 71 with hand written Label:  231 14 00 34 on the circumference of the cylinder	TC432 female end

This module connects to GSQ-160 mother board using the TA386 connector with 5 wires:

• Brown - Common Ground - TA386-47
• Red - Destruct Pulse - TA386-52
• Orange - +30 VDC switched power to cylinders - TS386-3
• Yellow - +6.3 VDC from cylinders - TA386-71
• Green - Alarm Call Up - TA386-36


This 0.95" tall module contains diode-resistor logic that can be programmed by fusing resistors.  Each bit of data is determined by at least two resistors.  If when reading the code either both resistors are there or both not there you know that the code is invalid.
 

There are 63 each 200 Ohm resistors in the module and the time to burn a module is 63 seconds.  Maybe they allow 1 second for each resistor.

The type of data burned into the code plug is:

• RF Channel Number - 3 digits on the label, i.e. 231 in this case (but how does this correlate with the crystal # 442 and the Chan # 442 on the ID tag?)
• ID # - 14 in this case - the number that shows up on the USQ-46 or compatible receiver
• Audio Function - 00 and not applicable to this configuration
• Time & Gain - 34 in this case & also not applicable to this configuration
Details are available in the PT1561 Tech manual T.O. 31S9-4-18-1.

This is the module that customizes each equipment that uses the TXxxx cylindrical devices. They are custom burned for each serial number equipment and have individual ID labels.

The schematic appearing in Figure 6-7 T.O 31S9-4-18-1 does not show any connection with the Disable Pin #52.

TC431 Encoder

TC431 male end	TC431 female end

It does not have a printed label like the others.  It is potted.

The Encoder reads the "Code Plug" data, checks it for validity and outputs a serial data stream that's either 18 or 24 bits long and at either 75 or 300 bits per second. The later two choices are determined by some of the bits in the "Code Plug".  Zero volts is a space and 5.5 to 6.3 VDC is a mark.

Functions include:

• generating +6.3 VDC @ 16 ma max. for the other circuits from the +30 supply when there is an alarm condition.
• generating the serial data stream by reading the TC432 code plug. The levels are 0 to 1 Volt for space and 5 to 6 V for mark, but it's called "split phase" which means it's A.C. coupled to remove the DC component.  This makes sense if it is used to drive a varactor diode that's across the crystal terminals in the transmitter.
• 5.5 VDC voltage regulator for it's own IC power
• It must also switch the +30 VDC on pin 3 of the 92 pin connector and connect it to pin 26 of the 92 pin connector to power the transmitter.  This might be a relay or solid state switch.  This is the only way that the transmitter module could get enough DC power to output 4 Watts of RF.  The transmitter draws 430 ma max (13 Watts DC input max).  The other + and - 4 V supplies are not connected to the cylinders and the 6.3 VDC supply has a very low current capability.

TC-560 Transmitter

TC-560 male end	TRANSMITTER RADIO TC-560 T-1233(V)/GSQ 91417:614396 DAAB07-72-C-0156 S/N   A03778 CHAN 442 01/73	TC-560 female end

The contract number is different and the data codes are a couple of years different from the TC432 above.  This is another indication that these cylindrical parts were (are?) used on a number of equipments.  If the label and rubber gasket are removed the crystal can be seen to have a label of "442" indicating the channel number that matches this label as well as the tag attached to the outside of the GSQ-160.

This is the "T3" transmitter.  There also are the  "T1" (TC434) and T2 (TC516) available for use with the GSQ-160.

The frequency range is 162 to 174 MHz and the channel spacing is 18.75 KHz.  The nominal output power is 4 watts.

To Open T3 DO NOT REMOVE ANY OF THE SCREWS!  The Aluminum sleeve is held on by two o-rings.  Just hold the green connector and turn the sleeve while pulling slightly away from the connector.

The following connector pins are used:

• 17 - black wire - Common Ground for input Printed Circuit Board
• B Coax - no connection in T3, just passes to the off center coax Conn. on Female End (test?)
• 26 - Orange to input PCB and series diode = +?? VDC power input
• 32 - White to input PCB right next to one of the crystal pins = serial data modulation. (0=space, +5.5 to 6.3 = mark).
• 47 - Black = Common Ground for output printed circuit
• 52 - Green - Disable wire to  output PCB
• 
  
The Orange and white wires must be serial data in and DC power.  The Orange wire is connected to what looks like a 1N400x diode wired as if the orange wire was carrying a positive voltage. So I will say that Pin 26 is + ?? VDC power for the transmitter and Pin 32 is the serial data our of the TC431 Encoder.

The Disable pin A6P1 #52 is connected to a 0.15" diameter by 0.55" long white cylinder that has two wires coming out of each end.  The green wire from Disable pin 52 goes to this component.  It is marked:

 


ATLAS MMS     1.0-0-A     6.0 +/- ???? Explosive charge




and a small schematic diagram that indicates that the two leads on the green wire end go to a "resistor" with a dotted arrow to the other end where there is a normally closed (or normally open) switch.  On my unit the switch seems to be open.  Maybe this unit is OK or maybe it has been destroyed?

The two circuit boards of the T3 transmitter are screwed onto a steel plate with #1 Phillips screws and 1/4" across the flats nuts.  The steel plate has two steel cylindrical end caps that hold the o-rings for the sleeve.  All this steel is made from what appears to be a casting.   It would be possible to place some explosive between the two printed circuit boards and destroy the boards, but I don't think that was done in this case.  There are a number of wires soldered between the two boards so it would be difficult to remove them to inspect the back sides.

The Female end has two Mini 75 Ohm SMB Plugs.  The center one is the transmitter output.
The off center one is not connected to anything inside the transmitter.  It just connects to the "B" coax in the 92 pin connector.  The purpose of this second coax line is for those systems that also have a receiver.  A T/R Diode Switch TC530 (or TC620 for missiles) is connected between the stack end and the antenna.

A Pasternack Ent. PE9619 Mini 75 Ohm SMB Jack to 75 Ohm BNC Female Adapter could be used for testing.  The BNC side will mate to standard 50 Ohm BNC cables. Unfortunately they have a $100 per order min and $10 per line min.

AS-2542/GSQ-160 Antenna  WANTED TO BUY

I would like to get one of these.  It's a dual mode antenna with a type-N(m) connector at the base.  The A5 Antenna Coupler drives either the outer conductor or the center conductor of the type-N(f) connector depending on the frequency and the antenna works in different modes for 57.5/60 MHz and for 168 MHz.  It is designed with a slight bend so as to look like a plant.

The top section is 32" and the bottom 14" for a total length of 46".

ADSID "HIT Assembly"

This is an acronym for Air-Delivered Seismic Intrusion Detector (Wiki).  This unit can not be air delivered, but may be a support device, like a repeater?

See Sonobuoy Ref 11 Wiring Vietnam -
Display of A.D.S.I.D. (Air Delivered Seismic Intrusion Detector) Devices at U.S. Air Force Museum, 1:55 -

Overview

Locating this ADSID on this web page because it also contains the TXnnn llike modules.
In Fig 2 below the top cylinder is the battery also shown in Fig 4 as the left cylinder.
In Fig 4 is shown the top of the TC470A with knobs marked:
S3: OFF, 7, 14, 28, 45, OFF (maybe 7 days (1 week), 14 days (2 weeks), 28 days (4 weeks), 45 ( 1-1/2 months)?
S4: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 ?

There are three cylinders: Battery, TC470A  Signal Processor & "4" Transmitter/Receiver "Destruct Removed".  The transmitter programming plug is between the TC470A and destruct.

Under the end plate of the Signal Processor/Controller (Fig 6 below) there are two matching circuits going to the antenna connector, so maybe a diplexer allowing for both transmission and reception.

Fig 5	Fig 6 Signal Processor "4" shown with cable to BNC antenna jack.

Alarm Set, Anti-Intrusion, Restricted Area, AN/GSQ-159 (V) (DSID)

I'm placing this here because the batteries for this unit and the ADSID HIT Assembly above both use a battery in a custom aluminum housing that has a minature "D" connector.

I think DSID stands for Disposable Seismic Intrusion Detector.  This is consistent with a custom battery that no one could replace.

GATE General-Purpose Automatic Test Equipment

This was a Generic Automatic Test Equipment system based on the HP 2116 computer (core memory), paper tape reader and a lot of equal vintage HP test equipment.  In this way you could automatically measure common parameters like voltage, resistance, frequency, power, etc.using an adapter that connected the device under test with the test equipment.  By measuring the voltages on the GATE connector you will be measuring Test Point voltages (or frequency, resistance, etc.).
