5.4-22 Directional Sensing Limit Switch
(LS1)
LS1 detects when the turret is rotated more than 90°
from being in line with the base. When rotated past
90°, the directions for forward-reverse travel and left-
right steering are reversed. The platform controls
remain natural and operate as indicated as the turret
rotates about the base.
LS1 is normally closed and opens when the switch
roller contacts a cam on the top of the rotary manifold.
When rotating the turret, LS1 circuit opens as it rides
up on the cam. It closes when the switch roller is off
the cam.
LS1 is normally closed and held open when the
counterweight is over the steering axle.
