Lift & Lower Switch Inputs
is method uses the On/O switch inputs to command the hydraulic throttle (Li). Another On/
O switch commands the lower operation, where a designated coil driver is either fully o (load
hold) or fully on (lowering). In this method, the hydraulic throttle and lower are non-variable inputs.
is is the illustrated “step function” ( ) in the gures 19 and 20 rottle/Switch Mapping. In this
example, reference Figures 6 and 18. e Li switch is Input 10 (pin 10). e Lower switch is Input
11 (pin 11). A load hold valve is used.
