Front panel and operation
The operator sees the vehicle’s level at a glance and controls the unit with the front-panel keys.
- Cross-shaped LED indicator: inclination in two axes and direction of tilt
- 10°, 5° and 1° step LEDs show the inclination level at a glance
- Function keys F1–F4 (ESC, up, down, enter) for menus and settings
Platform and mounting
A leveling display built on the EFD23 platform, ready for field conditions.
- Inclination data from an external two-axis inclination sensor
- Robust housing for external mounting on the vehicle body, next to the outrigger control area
- Built-in CANbus and a programmable software platform
- Leveling thresholds and indicator behaviour can be adapted to the application
EFD23-LEVEL can be used with CANopen inclination sensors such as the Baumer GIM140R or GIM600R as the external inclination sensor.

About the EFD23 platform
EFD23 is a programmable mini display unit developed for professional use with reference to ATMEL’s ARM Cortex M0+ SAMD21J18A processor. Automotive applications can be developed with its internal CANBUS. The information below is taken from the EFD23 product page; EFD23-LEVEL is the vehicle leveling version of this platform.
- Programmable with Atmel Studio by selecting the SAMD21J18A chip, or with Arduino Sketch by selecting the Arduino Zero option
- 4 pcs 2A PWM outputs
- 1 USB port
- 1 Serial TTL port for parameter settings and loading software
