FSW-1 Remote Gap Filler Site Control/Monitor Set - A Remote Gap Filler Site Control/Monitor set built by Westinghouse Electric Corporation. FSW-1 Gap Filler Site Control/Monitor The FSW-1 provides a remote control system for the control and monitoring of equipment functions, building conditions, or both at unattended gap filler sites. Typical functions to monitor include site security (doors open/closed), fire alarm, radar set status (channel on line/Channel off line) (Channel up/Channel down), FST-1 channel status (channel on line/Channel off line) (Channel up/Channel down), antenna (rotating/not rotating), generator status (running/stopped) (on line/off line). Typical control functions include generator (start/stop), generator (on line/off line), radar channel (on/off), radar (channel change), FST-1 (channel on/off), FST-1 (channel change). The FSW-1 also had the ability to provide a voice circuit between the gap filler site and the main site and often this was the only means of communications between the two. Many of the gap fillers were on mountain tops or in remote locations with no nearby communities and this telephone line kept the gap filler teams in touch.
