(Over Capacity), (Up) All motor events are recorded along with the time and date the motor event occurred� The real time clock in the Pulse monitor card has a default starting time of midnight, January 1, 1970� Once the Pulse...
DOWNLOADING MOTOR DATA Motor event data stored in the Pulse monitor card can only be read using a personal computer (PC). CONNECTIONS 1� Connect the Pulse monitor card, computer interface, PC and serial extension cables as shown in Figure 3�...
CUMULATIVE DATA The Pulse monitor card keeps track of total motor run time and total motor starts for the motor being monitored� The displayed cumulative data is automatically updated every 16 motor starts� Note this data cannot be reset� See Figure 6�...
ASSIGNING SERIAL NUMBER You can assign a specific serial number to the Pulse monitor card up to 20 characters for the system you wish to retrieve data from� Click on the serial number box and enter the respective serial number� Then press the Set button� See Figure 8�...
SOFTWARE FUNCTIONS (CONTINUED) SETTING MOTOR VOLTAGE The Pulse monitor card monitors the motor voltage of your system� * Enter the correct power supply voltage required for your system, and press the Set button in the Voltage box� See Figure 10�...
SOFTWARE FUNCTIONS (CONTINUED) DATA FILTERS Data filters allow you to narrow down the specific type of data you wish to view� The default selects all motor events for review� If there is specific data you do not wish to see, simply uncheck the respective box and that data will be removed from your data grid� The filters include the different motor event types, voltage deviation, specific date and specific time�...
Once you have successfully downloaded the motor data to the Pulse monitor, you can save or print the data using either the File Menu or Save and Print Hot Buttons� The file will be automatically saved as an .xml file� Use the Pulse monitor software any time you wish to review or print the file�...
False motor trips. Example: Thermal trip in down Check K1 or K2 input of Pulse card for floating voltage. Example: If motor is moving in down direction, direction for hoist motion. K1 and K2 should read 0 V. If K1 or K2 reads other than 0 V, check all control transformers to verify they have a common ground.
