Applications 
The L-Series Position Controller provides a building block
approach to total engine management. The                                                    Low cost, small
microprocessor-based bi-directional actuator design easily
attaches to fuel pumps, mixers, or throttle bodies.                                          package actuator

operator an external position indication.                                                   Easy setup and
Besides the traditional bracket mount using external linkage, the L-Series control is        tuning using PC-

Woodward offers optional mounting kits for Stanadyne DB-series or Delphi fuel                communications
injection pumps, providing an integrated control solution.
Woodward also offers L-Series actuator versions for Speed Control (manual 26250)
and Process Control (manual 26251), like Air/Fuel Ratio control, applications.
