System Overview & Operation Introduction Thank you for the purchase of your Unist Pulse R™ electronic valve timer. The Pulse R™ was built to combine the fundamentals of a pneumatic pulse generator with a robust electronic program that gives more capability and precise control to the user. The added features create a user-friendly and intuitive device that current and future customers will find easy to implement and use on many systems.
System Overview & Operation Specifications Input Power: 24VDC +/-10%, 12 watts max Output: 24VDC, 10 watts max Input Signal: 24VDC (must be on the same ground plane as the input power) Max Input Signal Frequency: 50Hz at 50% duty cycle Valve Output Connection: 11mm/Form B DIN Wafer Connection: 18mm/Form A or 9.4mm/Form C DIN Connector (24VDC ONLY)
The system uses a unique wafer design that sandwiches between the existing 24VDC solenoid valve and DIN connector to power the Pulse R™. When the solenoid valve is powered, the wafer draws power from that same source and supplies it to the Pulse R™.

Quick Start: Pulse R™ Retrofit Installation Wafer Installation: Remove DIN connector (3) and mount wafer (2) with gasket (1) to 24VDC solenoid coil. Reattach DIN connector (3) using longer screw provided. Direct Wire Installation: Wire into system according to wiring scheme shown.
Operation Operation Display Elements When 24VDC power is supplied, the system will display the settings according to the operating mode. Display Figure 3: Display Elements Modes 1 & 2: The system will display the programmed cycles per minute that will be delivered upon power up (mode 1) or an input signal (mode 2).

Operation Up and Down Buttons The operator can adjust the set points on the system using the up and down buttons on the right-hand side of the system. Pressing and holding the up or down button will cause the value to rapidly increase or decrease.

F01 = Output Circuit Error An F01 error indicates one of three possibilities: 1. An open circuit is detected. Check to ensure that the Pulse R™ is appropriately connected to valve. 2. A short circuit is detected. Check for any shorts in the system on the output side of the Pulse R™.
Operation Locking the Display To prevent accidental changes to settings, the display can be locked by pressing and holding the up and down button buttons at the same time for 3 seconds. The display will show LOC for 1 second, and then show the set point for the mode.
Operation Changing Operation Modes The Pulse R™ is configured for the desired operating mode at the factory and should only be changed if directed to do so by a Unist representative. To change modes, press and hold both the UP and DOWN buttons while turning on power to the Pulse R™.
Figure 12: Mode 1 Timing Diagram Mode 2 – Repeat cycle on input signal When powered on and the input trigger signal is high, the Pulse R™ output cycles at the rate displayed (indicated in cycles per minute) until the input is removed. The rate can be adjusted from 1 to 250. The duty cycle is automatically set by the Pulse R™.

Figure 14: Mode 3 Timing Diagram Mode 4 – Deliver shots on input signal When powered on and the input trigger signal is high, the Pulse R™ output rapidly cycles to deliver the selected number of shots. Once the input is removed, repeat function. In mode 4 the first digit on the display will be flashing “S”.
Page 19
Operation Mode 5 - CDT (Count and Duration Timer) Mode 5 is a count and duration timer mode. The Pulse R™ will count input signals until the programmed count value (cnt) is reached. Once the count value is reached, it will turn on the output for the programmed duration (dur) of time and reset the counter to zero.
Page 20
Operation To change the duration value, press and hold the down button for 2 seconds. dur will flash twice and then the value can be changed using the up/down buttons. After 3 seconds of no interaction with the system it will flash dur and save the value. The duration can be adjusted from 0.03 seconds to 250 seconds.
