PULSE COUNT EXCEEDS DUTY CYCLE

XR150 Duty Cycle is 100 counts (300 pulses) every 4 minutes.  Exceeding the duty cycle on a continual basis will 
shorten the life of various components in the high voltage head.  It is recommened to stay within the duty cycle, 
however, there may be emergency situations that operators need to exceed the duty cycle.  If the duty cycle has 
been exceeded Golden Engineering may not honor the warranty (depending on how many times the duty cycle has 
been exceeded and the highest pulse count   red at one time).   

If the operator enters a pulse count higher than the duty cycle (100 counts/300 pulses) the software will indicate 
“Counts > 100 / 4 min” which means pulse count has exceeded the duty cycle.  The LCD will prompt the operator 
to split the total count into multiple pulse trains.  If operator selects “Y” the total counts will be separated to pulse 
trains of 25 counts (75 pulses) with a 60-second rest between pulse trains.  If operator selects “N” the LCD will 
display Settings Void Warranty Continue.  Press ENTER to continue with pulse count that exceeds the duty cycle.  
Select “N” to go back to “Set CT” screen.
