Explanation:
In other cases 'to output' might be a better alternative, but in this case I'd just say 'must be driven at a higher/increased level'. BTW, I've never seen this use of 'afsturen' before, but it's safe to assume that would be to drive at a lower level.

agree  Ken Cox: Increase or decrease the drive or drive level. This sense of 'af' seems to be common in some parts of the Dutch language realm (possibly as a corruption from German).
