PULSE 200 Series

The newly launched PULSE 200 Series of door operators maintain the balance of economy and performance found in the PULSE 100 Series, along with extra features such as the face-level LCD for easy setup, monitoring and troubleshooting, a more powerful included battery backup and a door lock activation control for third party devices. Smooth, powerful and quiet, the PULSE 200 series door openers are a budget conscious and efficient solution for balanced doors up to 1000 pounds.

Features

Door Lock Activation

Included on these door operators are terminals to connect third-party door locks. Once connected, the operator engages the door lock when fully closed and disengages in advance of opening. iControls^® PULSE automatic door lock coming soon.

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.

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 200 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.

Door Balance Check

PULSE 200 door operators feature a balance check menu option. Once selected, the door automatically moves through one complete cycle and reports on the LCD panel 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.

Programmable Closing Timer

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

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.

Weather-Protect Option

iControls^® recommends an available upgrade for all Car Wash/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 model number.

Choose Your Cable Length

The motor on the PULSE 200 comes equipped with a pre-wired length of a 5 conductor cable for easy connection to the control panel. Select the length of cable that you require from your choice of 10, 15, 20 or 25 ft. and insert this length into the door operator part number, replacing "XX".
