Narrative:

I was working local control at florence ATCT. I was working small aircraft X on the ILS approach to runway 9. I coordination for a release from south radar for small transport Y, holding for departure on runway 18. South radar had directed small aircraft X after completing the approach to climb to 2000' on a heading of 090 degrees. South radar released small transport Y to climb to 2000' heading 130 degrees. I departed small transport Y after small aircraft X flew across runway 18 in accordance with FAA handbook 7110.65 paragraph 5-113b2. Small aircraft X was instructed to contact departure control radar south. The south radar position was manned by a student who was being trained by the area supervisor, the controller working south radar turned small aircraft X to a heading of 130 degrees resulting in 2 mi lateral sep with small transport Y. I observed small aircraft X to turn and then asked south radar if they had turned small aircraft X which they had. I reminded them small transport X was released and south radar reacted by turning small aircraft X back eastbound.

Title: SMA X HAD LESS THAN STANDARD SEPARATION FROM SMT Y. SYSTEM ERROR.

Narrative: I WAS WORKING LCL CTL AT FLORENCE ATCT. I WAS WORKING SMA X ON THE ILS APCH TO RWY 9. I COORD FOR A RELEASE FROM S RADAR FOR SMT Y, HOLDING FOR DEP ON RWY 18. S RADAR HAD DIRECTED SMA X AFTER COMPLETING THE APCH TO CLB TO 2000' ON A HDG OF 090 DEGS. S RADAR RELEASED SMT Y TO CLB TO 2000' HDG 130 DEGS. I DEPARTED SMT Y AFTER SMA X FLEW ACROSS RWY 18 IN ACCORDANCE WITH FAA HANDBOOK 7110.65 PARAGRAPH 5-113B2. SMA X WAS INSTRUCTED TO CONTACT DEP CTL RADAR S. THE S RADAR POS WAS MANNED BY A STUDENT WHO WAS BEING TRAINED BY THE AREA SUPVR, THE CTLR WORKING S RADAR TURNED SMA X TO A HDG OF 130 DEGS RESULTING IN 2 MI LATERAL SEP WITH SMT Y. I OBSERVED SMA X TO TURN AND THEN ASKED S RADAR IF THEY HAD TURNED SMA X WHICH THEY HAD. I REMINDED THEM SMT X WAS RELEASED AND S RADAR REACTED BY TURNING SMA X BACK EBND.
