Charge Pressure Monitor


The operating pressure of the ASC+T hydraulic unit is monitored to determine when it must be charged. A sensor, located in the ASC+T hydraulic unit, produces a pressure dependent, switched high/low voltage signal to the control unit.

As the operating pressure drops below 120 bar (+-bar), the voltage signal from the sensor drops "low". This signals the control unit to begin the recharging cycle. The cycle is completed when the signal again switches "high" at 150 bar.
