Pulsar UNIPAK HW Manual

UniPak
INTRODUCTION
UNIPAK HW - 1 Channel Dimmer/Switch (Hardwired)
UNIPAK SKT - 1 Channel Dimmer/Switch (Sockets)
The UniPak is capable of dimming or switching resistive and
inductive loads, and switching capacitive loads. To dim capacitive
loads, e.g. projectors with power factor correction (PFC) capacitors,
remove their PFC capacitors.
This makes the UniPak suitable for running all types of low voltage
lamps, electric motors, neon lights, properly ballasted fluorescent
lamps etc. besides ordinary resistive tungsten lamps.
INSTALLATION
INSTALLATION AND SERVICE
out by suitably skilled and competent persons. The Unipak
must be connected in accordance with current local and
national wiring regulations. When not in use for a period of time or
before working on the lighting installation, replacing lamps or loads,
the Unipak should be isolated (disconnected) from the mains supply.
If the Unipak is not installed or operated according to this instruction
leaflet then the protection provided by the Unipak may be impaired.
WARNING - THIS APPLIANCE MUST BE EARTHED
INSTALLATION AND VENTILATION
Switching Packs generate a certain amount of heat, so it is essential
to leave a 25mm air gap around the Unipak.
Two M10 nutserts are provided in the side of
TRUSS MOUNTING
the Unipak. The maximum thread depth from panel to bottom of
nutsert is 25mm. Select a suitable length M10 bolt to attach the
hangers to the Unipak and attach the hangers to the truss.
A safety chain may be attached to a bolt through one of the M6 holes
located on the base (see Trunking Mounting).
Disconnect the mains supply to the
TRUNKING MOUNTING
Unipak. Remove the two M6 blind plastic rivets located on the base
and remove the lid. Trunking clips (not provided) are attached to the
base with M6 nuts and bolts and the lid re-fixed. The Unipak may
now be clipped to the trunking and the mains re-applied.
for hardwiring are located on the side panels.
CABLE GLANDS
Please observe the lid printing which states which gland is for mains
input, controlled output, digital in and digital thru. Incorrect wiring will
result in the protection provided by the Unipak being impaired.
CONNECTIONS
LEVER OPERATED SPRING LOADED TERMINAL
are used for all input /output connections for speed and
BLOCKS
reliability.
Use a small bladed screwdriver or similar, to operate the lever.

MAINS SUPPLY
Important: For your Safety the Unipak must be Earthed, fed via a
Residual Current Circuit Breaker and Local Isolator fused for the
maximum current taken by the load. You might find a Pulsar Mains
Distribution Unit suitable.
Mains Voltage: 100 - 230VAC +/-10%, single phase. There is no
voltage selector - the electronics automatically adjusts to the
incoming voltage.
Mains Frequency: 48-62Hz, the electronics automatically adjusts to
the frequency.
Power Consumption: The Unipak itself uses very little power, so
the maximum power consumed (when the light is on full) = the
wattage of lamp connected. The maximum load is 10 Amps.
MAINS CONNECTIONS
The hardwired version uses the lever operated terminal blocks for
mains in, controlled output and digital control in/thru.
The socketed version utilises Neutrik PowerCon connectors for
mains input and controlled output. Digital control input being via 5 pin
XLR connectors (in/thru).
Live, Neutral and Earth Input:
For the hardwired version, use the internal lever operated terminal
block (10A max. rating) to connect the incoming mains supply cable.
The socketed version utilizes the NAC3FCA (blue) inlet cable
connector (supplied).
Connect your supply cable as follows:
N = Neutral E = Earth
Live, Neutral and Earth Output:
For the hardwired version, use the internal lever operated terminal
block (10A max. rating) to connect the outgoing load cable.
The socketed version utilizes the NAC3FCB (white) outlet cable
connector (supplied).
Connect your load cable as follows:
N = Neutral E = Earth

the sockets provided (5 pin XLR). The connections are indicated on
the lid and can be seen on the PCB in the hardwired version.
The pin connections are:

Note:
• Pins 4 and 5 are occasionally used by other manufacturers for
data. We recommend the use of 2 core plus screen cable, leaving
pins 4 and 5 open circuit, to connect to this type of equipment.
However, the Low Voltage Supply, +9...25VDC at up to 40mA, on
pin 5 of the IN connector is limited to cause no harm to such
equipment.
