Narrative:
I thought the C182 climb out instructions were a 120 degrees off of his approach. I instructed the pilot to fly that heading and then switched the aircraft to departure controller. When the king air executed his climb out instructions; heading 090; I thought I had separation because the C182 was six miles east of the airport on heading of 120. I switched the king air to departure. After I was relieved from position; I realized that the assigned climb out for the C182 on it's scratch pad was actually a heading of 050; not 120. Since we were on cenrap; not a usual configuration; the departure controller thought that the tag was just lagging; turned the aircraft to a north heading which became a factor with the king air on the 090 heading. Recommendation; controllers to pay extra attention during periods of non standard configurations; example cenrap.

Title: ABI Controller described a potential conflict event during CENRAP operations; listing the less than familiar CENRAP operations as a causal factor.
Narrative: I thought the C182 climb out instructions were a 120 degrees off of his approach. I instructed the pilot to fly that heading and then switched the aircraft to departure controller. When the King Air executed his climb out instructions; heading 090; I thought I had separation because the C182 was six miles east of the airport on heading of 120. I switched the King Air to departure. After I was relieved from position; I realized that the assigned climb out for the C182 on it's scratch pad was actually a heading of 050; not 120. Since we were on CENRAP; not a usual configuration; the Departure Controller thought that the tag was just lagging; turned the aircraft to a north heading which became a factor with the King Air on the 090 heading. Recommendation; Controllers to pay extra attention during periods of non standard configurations; example CENRAP.
