Acoustic Switch Series Principle of Operation The Gladiator Acoustic Switch uses Acoustic Wave technology in a new Sender / Receiver form for blocked chute detection and anti collision for heavy machinery. The Gladiator Amplifier powers two Transducers which use special HAWK developed software where both units pulse & receive each others Acoustic echoes.
Gladiator Acoustic Switch Series Transducer Cable Extension Note: Cable length between Transducer and AWRT-JB Hawk Junction should not exceed 30m. Additional cable extension should be the single cable run between AWRT-JB Junction Box 'Amplifier' terminal and the Remote GSA Amplifier.
