1.0 Introduction
The Pulsar 320 Controller, used in conjunction with an external 24VDC
power supply, is a compact, 2 output, high power pulse (strobe only) current
source incorporating a wide range of flexibility in selecting the operating
parameters. The unit may be controlled and operated locally (with optional
local control interface) or remotely via a USB interface and host computer.
In addition, the unit employs built in Ethernet connectivity.
The balance of this manual contains the necessary operating instructions,
specifications and other details required to allow the user to utilize the full
capabilities of the Pulsar 320.
1.1 Safety
The Pulsar 320 is designed to protect Advanced illumination light heads
having the Signatech I or Signatech II light head identification parameters.
When using light heads configured for Signatech I, an adapter cable must be
used to connect these lights to the Pulsar 320.
In certain modes of operation, the output voltages and currents provided by
the Pulsar 320 could result in a potentially injurious or fatal electrical shock.
For this reason, light heads should be connected BEFORE the
power switch is turned on.
At no time should the operator touch the
output connector pins or light head leads when the power is on.
During normal operation, the Pulsar 320 may reach light head output
voltages as high as 100 volts. For specific applications, or to comply with
local codes, the Pulsar 320 may be configured to limit the light head output
voltage to a maximum of 48 volts. Please contact Advanced illumination
when this requirement exists.
Advanced illumination makes no warranty, expressed or implied, if
illumination or other devices produced by manufacturers other than
Advanced illumination are connected to the Pulsar 320.
1.2 Warranty
Every Advanced illumination, Inc. (Ai) product is thoroughly inspected and
tested before leaving the factory. Products are warranted to be free of
