4.1.4 CONNECTING A PULSATOR
The Pulse MD can monitor and control a pulsator. It supports any 24VDC pulsator, with a power consumption up to 24
Watt (1.2 A total current, including both coils).
If the BouMatic HiFlo Evolution pulsator is used (
Figure 17
), it can be plugged directly into the pulsator connector of the Pulse
MD cables. For controlling any other type of pulsator, use the BouMatic Pulsator Adapter Cable (
Figure 18
, PN 3559482).

Attention!
Pulse MD has a very important built in safety feature in case it is using the CAN-network to start and stop
(SmartLite).
If the Pulse MD unit doesn’t receive a valid message from the corresponding SmartLite unit over the
CAN-network in 15 seconds, the unit will assume there is a problem and will start continuously pulsating.
All other functionality of the Pulse MD unit will remain the same.
4.2 MOUNTING THE DC POWER SUPPLY
In order to prevent more than a 2 volt drop between the power supply mounting location and the parlor, consideration
for the distance between the two locations should be made during the planning stages. Mount the power supply in a
clean and dry location and maintain a minimum spacing of 2 in. (5cm) around the panel. Make certain that the hardware
used will adequately handle the weight of the power supply.
Installation wiring must be done by a licensed electrician and meet all local, state and federal regulations. Power supplies
must be grounded.
Notice!
The power supplies are controlled by microcontrollers. Do not place the power supplies in areas with
moisture or which accumulate dust. BouMatic will not warranty power supplies that have any signs of
moisture contact or where dust is found inside. Do not mount the power supply above or near heat
producing equipment such as vacuum pumps, air compressors, refrigeration units and hot water heaters.
The regulated DC power supplies are not common devices that can be found at a typical electrical supply store.
Therefore, installation of a spare unit is recommended to avoid a long term pulsation shutdown in the event of a power
supply failure.
