Horizon-T experiment is deployed at the Tien Shan High-Altitude Scientific Station of the Lebedev Physical Institute of the Russian Academy of Sciences located at an altitude of 3340 m above sea level near the city of Almaty (Republic of Kazakhstan). The experiment is aimed at studying the temporal structure of Extensive Air Showers (EAS) from primary cosmic rays with energies above 1016eV, as well as studying delayed particles from the main shower front. Horizon-T consists of 10 detection points spaced up to 1400 m from each other and tied to a common center. The EAS-induced signals from all the detectors are transmitted via high-frequency cables to the central point and digitized with a resolution of 2 ns. This paper presents the physical justification, technical description, and calibration of the components of the experiment.
