    7.1.Powering using a Meech 24VDC power supply This refers to the use of a Meech A900IPS-SM2MS to power the PulseDrive. • Meech 24VDC power supplies are grounded internally & are supplied with a 3 wire IEC C5 cable. • The ground connection must be correctly connected at the mains connection.
  • Page 18: Powering Using Customers Own 24Vdc Power Supply

    7.2.Powering using customers own 24VDC power supply It is the customers responsibility to check that the 24VDC power supply being connected is grounded. • The 24V power supply must be protected with a 2A fuse. • Connection to the PulseDrive is through the M8 24VDC input 4-pin socket. The figure below shows the pin numbers of the connector.
  • Page 19: Monitoring

    8.Monitoring The Meech Hyperion PulseDrive continually monitors its internal health and can trigger an alarm should any parameter fall outside a predetermined range. This includes parameters such as ion current monitoring, meaning that the user can be alerted when an ionising bar needs cleaning.
  • Page 20: Electronic Alarms

    8.2.Electronic alarms 8.2.1.Remote monitoring • Remote monitoring is provided by Pins-2&4 of the 24VDC input port. These signals output approximately 0V/24V and are suitable for direct connection to a PLC input, or to control an external 24V relay. • On unit power-up, Pins-2&4 will remain in Hi state for up to 60 seconds before they are used as outputs.
  • Page 21 * = Please refer to the BarMaster operating manual. ** = Using NPN (default Hi) or PNP (default Lo) allows for multiple products to be connected in parallel, triggering a common alert without interfering with each other’s operation. *** = Using N+P does not allow for any products to be connected in parallel.
  • Page 22: Operation

    9.Operation Notice – Ionising equipment will not operate at their optimum and may be damaged if the PulseDrive’s output parameters are incorrectly set. Ensure the PulseDrive’s output parameters are correct for the connected ionising equipment. There are multiple variations of PulseDrive, suitable for a wide range of applications. The main differences between the variants, are their output capabilities and the built-in functionality offered by the Plus.
