When transporting in a vehicle, it is advised that precautions are made to ensure the unit cannot move around
within the vehicle, by strapping or otherwise.
When manually handling the instrument, please ensure you have received the correct manual handling training
and, if necessary procured the necessary lift aids as per your personal requirements or risk assessment.

Initial Setup
When used correctly, Pulse creates an instantaneous pressure difference across the entire space; however, it is
possible to cause testing inaccuracies unless the Pulse is positioned such that the unit has free airflow to the
whole space. It is advised that the nozzle has at least 1 metre clearance around it to allow for unhindered air
dispersal and the air receiver is placed centrally in the building or enclosure under test.
The Pulse control system should also be positioned as far away from the main unit as possible to prevent the air
release from affecting the sensors contained within it. A 4m control cable is provided to allow for this, and it is
advised that, where possible, the unit should be positioned around a corner, or behind objects, to ensure the
best results. Some operators may also choose to stand between the main case and the control case during
testing to prevent the air flow from directly impacting the control system. Like the air receiver, it is also
important that the controller is not too close to walls, where air waves can reverberate off the surface and effect
the sensor pressure readings. Here we advise 0.5m clear air around the controller where possible.
The Pulse control system should also be positioned so that the temperature sensor (labelled in section 4.2.1) is
not in direct sunlight to ensure a correct reading of room temperature is taken.

Charging the Air Receivers
The Pulse unit has a quick-connect charge port coupling fitted as per the diagram in Section 4.2.1.
To begin charging, connect your compressor to the main air receiver charge port via the quick-connect
connections using the supplied air hose and switch the compressor on.
