MVG - Controllers, PCUs & LCUs - Local Control Unit (LCUs), Wireless
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/ 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.

More Product Information
MVG-Orbit/FR medium duty EL/AZ positioners provide accurate rotation, velocity, and direction, with platform sizes up to 28 x 28 in (711 x 711 mm). Their rugged yet straight-forward construction ensures maximum reliability and trouble-free operation.
AL-58000 model towers are suited for very heavy duty applications with an operating load of up to 17,600 lbs (8,000 kg). They have durable steel masts, which can be vertical or inclined (limited to specific loads). They are available with a steel linear offset slide that is manual hand-wheel style, manual fixed step, or motorized.

- 40 MB/s block transfer rates
- Embedded Web Interface provides interactive utility to control instruments
- Rack-Rack TTL trigger extension through on-board LXI Trigger Bus
- Backward compatibility with VXI 1.4 and 2.0 products
- External Clock In/Out with on-board options for TCXO/OCXO
- VXIplug&play compliant
The AL-9504-2 Emergency Stop (E-Stop) Unit provides a central connection point for external emergency stop panic buttons and positioner controllers that are located throughout the system. In the event of an emergency stop, the AL-9504-2 will command the appropriate positioner controller to disconnect motor drive power on all axes.
The Performance Series EL/AZ positioners represent the latest generation of multi-axis rotary positioning subsystems. They offer enhanced capabilities and improved performance relative to size, and incorporate new engineering advances.
These positioners provide accurate, balanced rotation, and controllable velocity. Their rugged yet straight-forward construction ensures maximum reliability and trouble-free operation, yielding the best size and weight/performance ratio. Typically, the unit includes the body, precise slew bearings, DC motor, gear reducer, encoder/synchro, and limit switch assemblies. The AUT mounting surface is designed with a threaded mounting hole pattern for ease of use. A Safe/Operate switch is included to ensure safety.
- The I3 and I3S Inline Controllers provide overdrive strobe and continuous operation to lights from a small package when larger, more versatile external controllers are not necessary.
- Switching between continuous-on, gating on/off and strobe overdrive is seamless. The I3 and I3S employ Ai’s exclusive Adaptive OverdriveTM that optimizes strobe power regardless of input Pulse Width.
- The I3 is a default-on device on power-up, whereas the I3S is a default-off device, requiring a trigger to illuminate.
- All ICS models employ reverse input polarity protection.
- Provides continuous-on and DC gating on/off control as well as 0-10 volt analog dimming. 30 uSec response time.
- A wash down version of all ICS drivers is provided automatically with any wash down light to which it is attached.
- 0 – 100% Intensity Control with optional DCS-MP, purchased separately, will provide manual intensity control via an external potentiometer.
- The fourth generation of Ai’s popular Inline Control System.
- High Output Power: Capable of delivering 2.1 amps of continuous output and up to 8 amps in overdrive strobe at 24V, outperforming all other inline controllers on the market.
- Compact & Rugged: Sleek enough to fit through wiring conduit with its compact anodized aluminum housing and sealed to IP68 standards for prolonged liquid immersion and complete dust protection.
- Plug-and-Play Functionality: Enabled with SignaTech™, allowing for simplicity when overdriving, without risk of damage to the lighthead. For more information, please refer to the Product Manual
