PULSE’s Standard Battery Backup System

When it comes to operating your commercial door reliably and confidently, having a dedicated battery backup is invaluable during unexpected power interruptions.

While chain hoists have been the traditional solution, a battery backup system offers a quicker and more seamless method to maintain normal door operation.

It may surprise some, but standard battery backup systems are uncommon in the world of commercial door operators. But not with PULSE from iControls®. Every unit we currently offer has battery backup built-in.

The PULSE 100, 200 and 500 Series all feature a manual 24V integrated battery backup. If the power goes out, a user can still operate the door by pressing and holding the Open and Close buttons on the control panel (or the push-button station for the PULSE 100). Just jog the door up or down - it’s that simple!

The PULSE 300 takes things a step further. The 24V integrated battery backup that automatically activates during a power outage, allows the door to function as normal, albeit at a reduced speed. Once the battery level reaches approximately 75%, the system reverts to press-and-hold battery operation of the door (to conserve power), just like the PULSE 100, 200 and 500 models.

For all models, if the battery is fully depleted, the operator can still be used with an included crankshaft socket or optional chain-hoist add-on.

PULSE door operators are equipped with a trickle charger, ensuring the batteries remain fully charged and ready when needed.
