Abstract
A double channel (1.2 and 2 mm) photometer has been installed at the focus of the 15m SEST antenna in Chile to perform measurements of the Sunyaev-Zeldovich effect towards X-ray ROSAT clusters. This paper describes the instrument and the characteristics of the system: its sensitivity, field of view, noise and the performed calibrations.
