Programmable Dynamic Braking

Not every door can be perfectly balanced. To combat high inertia, use the dynamic braking feature to aid in deceleration and smooth out the soft stop as the door closes.

Built-in 24V Battery Backup

In the event of an outage, the included batteries provide power for multiple door cycles. Built on a separate circuit, the PULSE battery backup will work even if a board has been damaged, setting it apart from all other systems that rely on the full functionality of their printed circuit board. A built-in trickle charger ensures that the batteries are always charged and ready.

Our built-in battery backup system eliminates the need for a chain-hoist, but one can still be ordered as an option if desired.

Adjustable Soft Start/Soft Stop

This feature offers smooth, controlled acceleration and deceleration of the door, and helps prolong the life of its mechanical parts. It also aids in the prevention of cable throw. The distance of both the acceleration and deceleration can be programmed to match the door requirements as needed.

Programmable Open & Close Speeds

The PULSE door operators are built to achieve opening speeds as high as 24” per second and closing speeds of up to 16” per second, however can be adjusted to best suit the application. Simple menu settings allow for selecting speeds from 1 (slowest) to 5 (fastest).

Intelligent Force Monitoring

Should the door hit an obstruction or become jammed, the system will sense the change in force and stop the open operation or reverse the close operation to avoid further damage. This integrated feature virtually eliminates the need for third-party safety edges.

Maintenance Schedule

Set a maintenance reminder that is displayed on the LCD after a selected number of door operator cycles. Factory default is set to 250K cycles (for motor brush replacement), but can be modified in 100K increments. Use this function to initiate a maintenance program that can ensure the long-term health of your commercial door and operator.

Programmable Closing Timer

Set your door to automatically close after a selectable 1 - 99 seconds open delay.

Door Close Warning

When the closing timer is on, this feature will activate the red light on your traffic signal in advance of the door closing. Programmable from 1 to 9 seconds, use this safety feature as an early warning for your workers. Best used with iControls^®’s LED Stop & Go traffic lights.

Door Balance Check

PULSE door openers feature a balance check menu option. Once selected, the door automatically moves through one complete cycle and reports on the LCD the difference in force required to open the door versus closing it. Use this data to verify proper door balance without needing to remove the operator, and take the guesswork out of door balancing. A properly balanced door will extend the life of the door springs and maximize battery backup performance.

Reliable & Precise Encoder

Mounted on the top of the gearbox, the encoder allows for easy, fool-proof limit setup, and easy left or ride side mounting of the operator. It also facilitates advanced functionality of the door including soft start/soft stop, dual open limits and motion monitoring - if the door stops moving during its cycle, the encoder senses the lack of motion and halts operation to avoid any added damage to the operator and/or door. The encoder will also monitor the position of the door when the operator is being used in battery backup mode - no need to reset the encoder when the power returns.

Chain-Hoist Option

A manual chain-hoist option is available for redundant emergency backup operation. Once engaged via a lever at floor level, all electrical operation (battery or power) is disabled for operator safety. Default factory installation of the chain-hoist is on the right-hand side of the operator, but it can be converted to the left-hand side on request.

Weather-Protect Option

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 can be 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 through-beam sensor in place of a reflective photo-eye.
To order the weather-protect option, add the suffix “-WP” to the door operator part number.
