PRE-INSTALLATION ASSEMBLY REQUIREMENTS

BEFORE INSTALLATION, ENSURE THAT YOUR DOOR IS PROPERLY BALANCED AND RUNNING SMOOTHLY. ALSO ENSURE THAT THE LIMIT BRACKETS (SUPPLIED) ARE INSTALLED AND SECURED PROPERLY. BUMPER/PUSHER SPRINGS MAY BE USED IN PLACE OF, OR IN ADDITION TO LIMIT BRACKETS FOR PULSE OPERATORS, BUT MUST BE INSTALLED PRIOR TO OPERATION.
Operator Mounting Requirements
Pulse operators are mounted directly on the door shaft. Before installing the operator, please ensure following criteria is met:
The door is well balanced, is tested for smooth functioning without any unusual noise.
Provided Limit Brackets must be installed at least 2″ past door’s desired open position (and within allowable maximum cable height) to prevent the doors from over-travel. (See Fig. 1)
The door has a solid keyed shaft with a minimum exposed length of 4.5” on the operator side.Controls Pulse Series Controller Pulse Red - assembly 1Clearance of at least 12” horizontally from the side of the door (or 9” from end of shaft), and 24” vertically below the shaft. There is adequate structural support surface to securely install the torque arm mounting bracket, the torque arm and the junction box. For more details, see mounting installation instructions Fig: 1 & 7.
Mounting space for the operator Control Panel (Min. 5 ft. from ground level, within clear sight of the door but far enough away as to prevent users from contacting moving parts).Controls Pulse Series Controller Pulse Red - assembly 2Operator Mounting Position/Encoder
This operator has its position encoder installed on the top of the gearbox. This allows mounting of the operator anywhere along the length of the shaft where space allows. Right-mount, left-mount or center-mount positions are all acceptable, and no modifications to the operator, or operator software, are required.
Assembling Torque Arm to Gearbox
The torque arm must be assembled onto the gearbox on the opposite side of encoder using the enclosed 4 bolts. There are 6 possible positions for the torque arm, and its optimal mounting position should be predetermined prior to assembly. Tighten bolts appropriately. THE TORQUE ARM IS AN INTRINSIC COMPONENT OF THE OPERATOR’S SAFETY AND FUNCTIONALITY AND MUST BE INSTALLED SECURELY.

MOUNTING INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

WARNING

  • TO REDUCE THE RISK OF PERSONAL INJURY OR DEATH, DO NOT CONNECT ELECTRICAL POWER UNTIL COMPLETE OPERATOR, JUNCTION BOX AND CONTROL PANEL ARE INSTALLED, SECURED AND PROTECTED PER FOLLOWING INSTRUCTIONS.
  • ENSURE THAT AREA IS CLEAR OF PERSONNEL AND CORDONED OFF TO ACCESS WHILE INSTALLING OPERATOR.
  • USE PROPER SAFETY PROTOCOLS ACCORDING TO INTERNAL, LOCAL AND FEDERAL REQUIREMENTS.

MANDATORY FIRST STEP – Limit Bracket Installation
If your door is not already equipped with bumper/pusher springs, it is mandatory to install the supplied Limit Brackets. Mount one bracket to the top of each track (See Figure 1A) to prevent over-travel of the door, and enable automatic encoder recalibration prior to setting limits and after a power-loss. These should be mounted inside the door-tracks at the door’s maximum allowable travel point, and are required to be located at the same exact position on both tracks so that the top rollers of the door rest against them in a level position.
To install, manually open the door to the uppermost opening position allowable by the cables, clamp the door in place, and secure the brackets to the track as shown Figure 1A using the top rollers as the reference points for the brackets.
IN THE ABSENCE OF BUMPER/PUSHER SPRINGS, INSTALLATION OF LIMIT BRACKETS IS MANDATORY PRIOR TO OPERATOR INSTALLATION. WITHOUT PHYSICAL LIMITS, THE DOOR CAN RUN OUT OF ITS TRACKS AND CAUSE SEVERE PERSONAL INJURY AND/OR CAUSE SEVERE DAMAGE TO THE DOOR. FURTHERMORE, YOU WILL BE UNABLE TO SET THE LIMITS.

Shaft Collar/Bent Key Installation
The Shaft Collar serves as an end-stop for the bent shaft key to prevent it from sliding out of the gearbox. It is important that it is securely fastened prior to use of the operator, and needs to be mounted in conjunction with the key as shown in Fig: 5.Controls Pulse Series Controller Pulse Red - assembly 5 Adjust the door so that the shaft keyway is facing up (you may have to open/wedge/clamp the door open slightly to achieve this).
Loosen the Shaft Collar set screw and slide it over the shaft.
Insert the bent key (provided with operator) into the door shaft keyway with the bent end facing the shaft collar at its desired position.
Slide the collar back so that it touches the key, see Fig: 5. Firmly tighten the set screw of the collar onto the shaft. Fasten the Torque Arm to the gearbox so that it will be facing the shaft collar upon installation and at an appropriate position as suggested on Fig: 4A.
Please note that adjustments to the position of the key and collar may be required to accomodate for torque arm mounting and fastening.

WARNING: THE OPERATOR ASSEMBLY IS HEAVY AND CAN CAUSE SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH SHOULD IT BE DROPPED DURING INSTALLATION. TAKE ALL NECESSARY SAFETY PRECAUTIONS TO AVOID DROPPING THE OPERATOR (I.E. TETHER/TIE DOWN) PRIOR TO ATTEMPTING INSTALLATION. SCAFFOLDING OR SCISSOR-LIFTS/ PLATFORM-LIFTS ARE ADVISED FOR OPERATOR INSTALLATION. NEVER ATTEMPT TO INSTALL AN OPERATOR ABOVE EYE-LEVEL OR FROM A LADDER.
ENSURE THAT PREVIOUS STEPS FOR SHAFT COLLAR/KEY INSTALLATION HAVE BEEN PROPERLY FOLLOWED BEFORE PROCEEDING. FAILURE TO DO SO COULD RESULT IN DAMAGE TO THE ENCODER DURING OPERATOR INSTALLATION.
Align the keyway of the gearbox with the pre-mounted key (see Key Shaft Collar/Key Installation on previous page) located on the mounting side of the shaft.
Slide the gearbox onto the shaft until it makes contact with the bend of the Shaft Key.
Assemble the Torque Arm Bracket to the Torque arm using the fastener provided. NOTE: DO NOT TIGHTEN THE NUT FULLY). Anchor the Torque Arm Bracket to the solid structural support.
Fasten the torque arm to structural support by means of the supplied bolt, locking nut and washers. The supplied bracket may be required. If the torque arm does not align with structural support, you may try adjusting the torque arm position on the gearbox (see Assembling Torque Arm to Gearbox) accordingly or use the Torque Arm Bracket.Controls Pulse Series Controller Pulse Red - assembly 7FAILURE TO SECURELY FASTEN TORQUE ARM COULD RESULT IN DAMAGE, SERIOUS INJURIES OR DEATH AND WILL VOID THE WARRANTY.

Junction Box Mounting
The junction box contains terminals for power connections, as well as battery/communication connections for the control panel. Mount the junction box, by means of the mounting flanges and in accordance with the electrical code, in a conspicuous location that will provide access for both electrical power and control panel wiring connections. The junction box is pre- wired with 2 feet of flexible conduit, if longer lengths are required, consult with factory. Do not mount the junction box near moving parts or in an inaccessible area.Controls Pulse Series Controller Pulse Red - assembly 8Control Panel Mounting
The control panel should be securely mounted at or around eye level (minimum 5 ft. from floor) on the same side as the operator/junction box. Ensure that the control panel is mounted far enough away from the door as to avoid user contact with the door while in operation, but close enough that the user has clear view of the door at all times. Four (4) control mounting brackets are provided to facilitate mounting. See Fig: 8Controls Pulse Series Controller Pulse Red - assembly 9Photo-Eye or Thru-Beam Sensor Mounting
The included reflective photo-eye or thru-beam sensor should be mounted so that it scans area that spans the entire width of the door at a height of no more than 6 inches from the ground. The sensor (reflective photo-eye) or receiver (thru-beam) should be mounted on the operator side (as it will be wired into the control panel), while the reflector or transmitter should be mounted on the opposite side of the door, facing the sensor/receiver so that its center meets the beam. Use the included mounting bracket(s) to secure to either the door tracks or the wall. Refer to the specific mounting details provided with the sensor. For final alignment of the sensor, put unit in STARTUP MENU (see page 18) to apply power to the sensor (after WIRING – see page 13 for additional wiring diagram). Once properly aligned in STARTUP MENU, the indicator will light up in confirmation. Note that upon exit from the STARTUP MENU, the sensor will only become active when the door is closing.

WIRING INSTRUCTIONS

WARNING
TO REDUCE THE RISK OF PERSONAL INJURY OR DEATH, ENSURE THAT THE FOLLOWING PRECAUTIONS HAVE BEEN FOLLOWED PRIOR TO MAKING ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS:

  1. Disconnect power at fuse box/source and follow proper lockout/tag-out procedures per national and local electrical codes.
  2. Ensure that all electrical connections are made by qualified electricians/technicians only and meet national and local electrical codes.
  3. All wiring should be on a dedicated circuit and properly protected.

Junction Box Connections
Terminals inside the junction box are labeled and provided for input power (100-240Vac 1 Ph), and to connect power the battery backup, and supply low voltage power and communication for the control panel. Optional terminals are also provided for Fully Open Limit Reset connection to an external switch as an alternative to using the Limit Brackets as a reset for the encoder.
Power Connections (100-240Vac Single Phase)

  1. ENSURE POWER IS DISCONNECTED!
  2.  Run power wires to junction box in accordance with local and national regulations.
  3. Connect incoming power to L/L1 and N/L2, and ensure that ground wire is properly affixed.

Control Panel Connections (24Vdc)

  1. Using minimum of 18AWG cable, connect individual wires to V+, GM, GS and COM terminals in the junction box. iControls recommends using wiring kit (Part# PDC-CABKIT) or equivalent.
  2. These will match the connections in the Control Panel and will be terminated in the same sequence (as labeled) to match the junction box (all control panel wiring shall enter through the bottom of the enclosure).

Battery Connections (24Vdc) 2 Batteries Connected in Series

  1. Using minimum of 18 AWG insulated stranded wire; connect to B+ and B- inside the junction box (two separate wires). NOTE: 14AWG is recommended for PULSE 1000 Operators.
  2. These wires should be run together with the Control Panel Connections (through the bottom of the enclosure) and connect to the ‘+’ and ‘-‘DRIVE terminals on the board.
  3. Place the batteries into the Control Panel. Connect the wires to the batteries: red lead connects between the ‘Battery +’ tab on the board and the red tab on the battery, blue lead between the ‘Battery -‘ tab on the board and the black tab on the battery.

Fully Open Reset Limit Switch Connections (24Vdc)(Optional H1 & H2 Terminals)

  1. Using minimum of 18 AWG insulated stranded wire; connect to H1 and H2 inside the junction box (two separate wires)
  2. Connect these wires through NO Contact of Limit Switch, Proximity Sensor, Reed Switch, etc., set to activate at uppermost limit of door. This is used in advance of physical stop limits (limit brackets) to reset encoder at startup or menu reset (fully open  position) and to avoid rollers coming into contact with the brackets. Also used as Fully Open position settings in Menu. Note that installation of limit brackets (or alternate physical stopping device) is still mandatory as a redundant safety stop in case of switch failure, but can be mounted further back from the switch to avoid roller impact. If using external switch in lieu of limit brackets for Fully Open Position Reset, a menu setting must be changed. See Page 23.

Control Panel Board Connections
The Control Panel provides power and inputs for your Reversing Devices (up to 3), Activation Devices (up to 2), as well as a wired Push Button Station, and a Remote Radio Receiver. Two on-board relays provide signaling for a variety of programmable options. Further connections are available for Traffic Signals, a buzzer and flashing Amber signal (while the door is in motion) and a door lock switch (prevents the door from moving while activated). A receptacle for IControls’s wireless peripheral devices (impact/tilt sensor, reversing edge, etc.) is also provided.
Reversing Devices
The Pulse accepts UL325 Monitored Devices, as well as standard non-monitored Devices. Connect the provided reflective photo-eye into the terminal labelled ‘1’. Any UL325 ‘monitored’ reversing device should be connected into the terminal labelled ‘2’. Any other added standard reversing photo-eyes, light curtains and reversing edges should be connected into the terminal labelled ‘3’. Follow the wiring diagrams included in this manual, and installation instructions provided with your reversing device for further mounting and connection details. Please note that without a connected, functional reversing device in either R1 or R2, the Closing Timer and Single Push auto-closing features of the door are de-activated – Push/Hold to Close protocols will be initiated.

If the door does not noticeably slow down during its intended ‘soft stop’ (approximately in the last foot of travel), it is likely that the door will require dynamic braking compensation.
Factory default is for no Dynamic Braking (OFF), and is recommended for standard operation. Should Dynamic Braking prove necessary, press the OPEN/ CLOSE buttons to toggle between choices (Low, Medium & High).Controls Pulse Series Controller Pulse Red - DYNAMIC BRAK 2Note that the addition of Dynamic Braking is intended to assist doors with high inertia in achievement of a ‘soft stop’. It is recommend that before setting Dynamic Braking, you first test the door at a lower closing speed. Failing this, when setting Dynamic Braking you should start with the LOW setting first, and test the door. If further braking is required, move to the MEDIUM setting and test, and then the high setting. If you notice that the door makes a ‘jerking’ motion near the bottom of its travel, the setting is too high, and it should be lowered.
OPENING FORCE
If the door is obstructed from opening (ie. due to ice buildup, the door latch  is engaged, etc.) this current monitoring feature will stop the door to prevent damage. The sensitivity of this monitoring can be changed in this setting, or the feature can be turned off entirely.Controls Pulse Series Controller Pulse Red - OPENING FORCEOpening Force sensitivity can be adjusted from 1-20 (1 being most sensitive to obstructions/jams/imbalance) or OFF. Factory default is ‘5’.
CLOSING FORCE
If the door is obstructed from closing (ie. due to obstruction, jam, etc.) this current monitoring feature will stop and reverse the door to prevent damage. The sensitivity of this monitoring can be changed in this setting, or the feature can be turned off entirely.Controls Pulse Series Controller Pulse Red - OPENING FORCE 1Closing Force sensitivity can be adjusted from 1-20 (1 being most sensitive to obstructions/jams/imbalance) or OFF. Factory default is ‘3’.
OPEN SLOW SPEEDControls Pulse Series Controller Pulse Red - OPEN SLOW SPEEDWhen the door is approaching open limit and decelerates down to slow speed before the stop (Soft Stop), added force/speed may be required to complete opening. While this is indcative of an improperly balanced door, this feature can be used to compensate. This setting should only be changed from the NORMAL to the HIGH setting if door becomes unbalanced over time and does not completely travel to Open limit. If it is a new installation, changing the spring tension for proper balance is a required first step. Factory default is ‘NORMAL’.
CLOSE SLOW SPEEDControls Pulse Series Controller Pulse Red - CLOSE SLOW SPEEDWhen the door is approaching Close Limit and decelerates down to slow speed before the stop (Soft Stop), added force/speed may be required to complete closing. While this is indcative of an improperly balanced door, this feature can be used to compensate. This setting should only be changed from the NORMAL to the HIGH setting if door becomes unbalanced over time and does not completely travel to Close limit. If it is a new installation, changing the spring tension for proper balance is a required first step. Factory default is ‘NORMAL’.
OPEN RAMPDOWN DISTANCEControls Pulse Series Controller Pulse Red - OPEN RAMPDOWN DISTANCEThis setting is used to change the point where the door begins to decelerate to slow speed as it approaches the Open Limit. The user can choose between auto (which is configured by the system) or the desired number of shaft rotations (between 0.5 turns and 3 turns in half rotation increments).
The Factory setting for this feature is AUTO. This should not be changed unless recommended by Pulse Technical Support.
CLOSE RAMPDOWN DISTANCEControls Pulse Series Controller Pulse Red - CLOSE RAMPDOWN DISTANCEThis setting is used to change the point where the door begins to decelerate to slow speed as it approaches the Close Limit. The user can choose between auto (which is configured by the system) or the desired number of shaft rotations (between 0.5 turns and 3 turns in half rotation increments).
The Factory setting for this feature is AUTO. This should not be changed unless recommended by Pulse Technical Support.
OPEN LIMIT OPTIONS (PUSH BUTTON)Controls Pulse Series Controller Pulse Red - OPEN LIMIT OPTIONSThis setting allows the user to choose between the SET LIMIT or the FULLY OPEN limit for the “OPEN” button on the control panel or the “O” terminal (Push Button Station Inputs) on the control circuit board.
OPEN LIMIT OPTIONS (REMOTE RADIO)Controls Pulse Series Controller Pulse Red - OPEN LIMIT OPTIONS 1This setting allows the user to choose between the set limit or the fully open limit for the “REMOTE RADIO” connections on the control circuit board.
OUTPUT RELAY OPTIONS
Controls Pulse Series Controller Pulse Red - OUTPUT RELAY OPTIONS
The Output Relay is used for signalling/interlocking with other devices such as a dock leveller, security equipment, other doors, etc. There is one NO and one NC contact available that can be energized at either the open or closed limit, as chosen by the user in this setting.
CALIBRATIONControls Pulse Series Controller Pulse Red - CALIBRATIONThis feature is required to calibrate load-sensing. Screen prompts guide user through calibration.

NOTE: IF YOU CHANGE ANY OF THE FOLLOWING SETTINGS, THE OPERATOR WILL PROMPT YOU TO RECALIBRATE WHEN EXITING THE MENU: Voltage Range, Motor position, Door Limits, Open Speed, Close Speed, PWM Frequency, Open Rampdown and Close Rampdown.
THE CALIBRATION OF THE DOOR INVOLVES THE FOLLOWING STEPS: Controls Pulse Series Controller Pulse Red - CALIBRATION 1– An automatic slow opening cycle of the door. (You will be prompted to open the door)
– A manual close cycle of the door. Press and Hold the CLOSE button through this cycle. If the CLOSE button isn’t held until door is fully closed, the Operator will abort this step and prompt you to start again.
– You will be prompted to open the door to Calibrate Opening Force.
– Resetting the Encoder. Once the door is fully open, you will have to press OPEN again to reset the Encoder (The LCD screen will say “DOOR IS READY” as a prompt before the Encoder is to be reset.)Controls Pulse Series Controller Pulse Red - CALIBRATION 2MAINTENANCE SCHEDULEControls Pulse Series Controller Pulse Red - MAINTENANCE SCHEDULEThis feature sets a reminder, displayed on the LCD, to schedule maintenance after a selected number of operator cycles. Factory default is set to notify of Maintenance after 250,000 cycles (recommended for Motor Brush Replacement). It can be lowered in 1,000 cycle increments. Press the OPEN or CLOSE buttons to change, and Press and Hold the buttons for rapid scrolling to your required cycle setting.
RED FLASHINGControls Pulse Series Controller Pulse Red - RED FLASHINGSet this feature to ON if you prefer the red light of an attached LED Stop & Go Light to flash while the door is in motion.
ADVANCED REDControls Pulse Series Controller Pulse Red - ADVANCED REDUsed in conjuction with the CLOSING TIMER (Page 18), this safety feature turns on the red light (or flashing red light if this setting has been enabled) of an attached LED Stop & GO light in advance of the door closing by a programmed number of seconds. Note that should you choose a value that is greater than the CLOSING TIMER pre-set, it will begin at the same time. Factory Default is the ‘OFF’ setting, with options for 1-9 seconds of ADVANCED RED.
REMOTE RADIO MODE
This setting allows two options for how the remote operates if it is pressed while the door is opening.Controls Pulse Series Controller Pulse Red - REMOTE RADIO MODEIn ‘Open/Close’ mode when pressing the remote button from the Closed position, the door will open to the chosen limit setting (see Open Limit Options on page 14). Pressing the remote again during its travel will have no effect. Once it reaches the Open position, pressing the remote will command the door to close.
In ‘Open/Stop/Close’ mode pressing the remote button when the door is closed, the door will open to the chosen limit setting. Should you press the remote again during the Open cycle, the door wil stop. If it is pressed again, it will close from the stopped position.Controls Pulse Series Controller Pulse Red - REMOTE RADIO MODE 1In either mode, if the remote is pressed while the door is closing, it will reverse.
OPEN LIMIT SWITCH
Controls Pulse Series Controller Pulse Red - OPEN LIMIT SWITCHIf choosing to use a Switch (limit, proximity, reed, etc) to signal the door’s fully open position for encoder reset (connecting to H1 & H2 in junction box), set this selection to YES. USING A SWITCH STILL REQUIRES INSTALLATION OF LIMIT BRACKETS AS A SAFETY REDUNDANCY IN CASE OF SWITCH FAILURE.
CLOSE RAMP-UP TIMEControls Pulse Series Controller Pulse Red - CLOSE RAMP-UP TIMEOn the Close cycle, from the open position, you can adjust the amount of time that it takes the door to accelerate from its resting position to its full speed. This is particularly beneficial when using standard lift doors and/or large drums, or when the unit is mounted on a balanced rolling steel door. This can be adjusted in 0.5s increments from 0.5 to 3.0 Seconds. Factory Default is 1.0s
MOTION DETECT TIMEControls Pulse Series Controller Pulse Red - MOTION DETECT TIMEAs an added safety feature, the encoder monitors the rotation of the shaft. Should it detect no motion where there should be motion, the system will halt the cycle command, and show a fault display of ‘NO MOTION DETECTED’. The allowable delay before this fault is recognized by the system can be adjusted from 0.2s to 0.6s, but should not be altered from the Factory Default setting of 0.3s unless instructed to do so by technical support personnel.
BALANCE CHECKControls Pulse Series Controller Pulse Red - BALANCE CHECKOnce selected from the menu, the door will automatically run through one full close/open cycle (after an encoder reset). It will then report on the screen values representing the force required to open and to close the door. The difference in these numbers represents the imbalance, and adjustments to the spring tension should be made accordingly. Run this feature again to verify proper adjustment.

PATENTED BATTERY BACKUP – POWER OUTAGE OPERATION

The Pulse is factory equipped with a patented battery backup system and it is automatically activated during a power outage. This battery backup even works if there is board damage occuring due to external forces such as lightning or impact.
During a power outage, simply push and hold the OPEN button in order to open the door, and push and hold the CLOSE button in order close the door – the door will respond accordingly, but note that speeds will be reduced.
Limits are not active, and it is important to release the button as soon as the door reaches the appropriate position.
All safety devices will also be disabled during a battery backup operation and any personnel operating the door should maintain a clear line of sight with the doorway in order to reduce the risk of possible door impact with personnel or equipment, and to ensure the door operates safely.
NOTE: WHEN USING BATTERY BACKUP, LIMITS ARE NOT ENGAGED. YOU MUST RELEASE THE BUTTON AT THE APPROPRIATE TIME, OR RISK TRIGGERING THE CIRCUIT BREAKER. DO NOT HOLD THE OPEN OR CLOSE BUTTON ANY LONGER THAN NECESSARY.
To enable/test battery backup functionality when the power is available, disconnect power to the operator. In case the batteries are fully drained or missing, the base of the motor is also equipped with a 3/8” ratchet entry. TURN OFF POWER TO THE OPERATOR (even if the power seems out), secure a crankshaft, socket wrench or power drill with 3/8” ratchet head (not included) inside the ratchet entry and rotate it in the appropriate direction in order to open or close the door. Turn on the power once manual operation is no longer required.

NOTE ON BATTERIES

Provided lead-acid batteries are 2 x 12V connected in series to provide 24Vdc. The controller provides a monitored trickle charger in order to maintain the batteries’ life. Should the batteries be fully drained and no longer accept a charge, please replace them with equivalent batteries, and dispose of the expired units according to local environmental regulations. NEVER remove the provided jumper between the batteries unless in the process of replacement, and be sure to re-connect in the event battery replacement is required.

WEATHER-RESISTANT APPLICATIONS

iControls recommends an available upgrade for all Weather Resistant applications. Standard Pulse Operator Motors are rated IP44, and could be vulnerable to water ingress. Furthermore, reflective photo-eye sensors have a tendency to be detrimentally affected by condensation on the reflector, preventing reliable operation in such conditions.
iControls offers a cost-effective weather-resistant upgrade that seals ingress points on the motor junction box, and includes a NEMA 4X thru-beam sensor in place of a reflective photo-eye. Please contact iControls for details and pricing.
