Abstract
The large area coordinate detector (DECOR) represents a multilayer system o f plastic streamer tube chamber modules surrounding the Cherenkov water cal orimeter NEVOD. Experimental data collected during the test expositions of first DECOR supermodules (8 vertical planes with 8.4 m(2) working area) hav e been analysed, angular and spatial reconstruction accuracies have been es timated. The procedure of the selection of events corresponding to detectio n of parallel tracks (muon bundles originated in the atmosphere) is discuss ed.
