GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The ACW112 Level Controller measures deviation from a gravity reference for mobile equipment such as hillside
combines and aerial lifts. Its sensing and switching components are contained within a single compact housing.
The Controller senses level through a suspended magnetic pendulum and Hall Effect sensors. Signals from the Hall
sensors provide ON-OFF electrical output to a three position, four way valve. The switching is instantaneous ON and
instantaneous OFF.

FAILURE MODES AND WARNINGS

Automatic controls are intended to move machine elements without operator input. This motion can be dangerous
to persons unfamiliar with the intended control action. Exercise care when operating the automatic control.

WWARNING
When the Level Controller is used as a switch to a tip alarm in rechargeable battery-operated electrical systems, the
warning device will not sound if the system voltage drops below the input voltage rating for the relay to the alarm.

WWARNING
This control uses a sensing signal which cannot be seen. This creates an extra danger of unforeseen stopping and
starting of machine components. Advise operators to turn the control OFF when people are near the sensor or the
controlled machine element.
