Default Ameritron AL-811 ALC Question

I have a question for anyone who owns an Ameritron AL-811 amplifier.

I have connected the Relay and ALC connections to my rig and the
amplifer works great except for the ALC protection. I have confirmed
for 100% certain the radio is connected correctly.

When attempting to adjust the ALC limit on the rear of the amplifier as
suggested in the manual I am not noticing any effect on the rig. I
have driven the amplifier up to to 85W, and still do not notice and
reduction of power on the radio as indicated in the manual.

Perhaps I am missing something, but my understanding was when the power
into the Amp was over 70W and the rear ALC control was adjusted the
voltage from the Amp should kick in and power down the radio to avoid
distortion.

Any assistance would be greatly appreciated. Even if someone knows
which is MAX and MIN on the back panel ALC adj., that would be helpful
(i.e. clockwise or counter clockwise).

Thank-you...

Lloyd
