AL-4146-2L-12A

The AL-4146-2L series LCUs are portable, hand-held units that are connected to
a PCU/positioner controller via an interconnect cable. These LCUs utilize the PCU/positioner
controller’s basic control, limit and supply circuits. They incorporate a rotary switch for axis
selection, limit indicators, and a potentiometer for speed and direction control.

• When the LCU is connected and operating in LOCAL mode, the PCU/positioner controller front panel

operation is disabled.

• When the LCU is placed in REMOTE mode, PCU/positioner controller obtains priority control.

Note: LCU cable purchased separately. Custom lengths available.
