AL-4188-WRCU-D
The AL-4188 series LCUs are portable, wireless hand-held units that are connected to
a PCU/positioner controller via a wireless RF link. 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, the PCU/positioner controller obtains priority control.
