FRONT PANEL CONTROLS AND INDICATORS

 

Phase Supply Neons

 show when 

there is mains voltage at the Datapak. 

Output Monitor Neons (Green)

 

show the status of the output, whether 
or not a load is connected. 

Fuse Blown Neons (Red)

 light when 

their channel fuse has blown. 

Electronics On/Off switch with built 
in indicator neon

 controls the power 

to the electronics. 

Lamp Preheat switch

 prevents the lamp filaments from 

cooling right down.  This prevents the heavy surge currents 
that occur when cold filaments are switched on and thus 
extends lamp life. 

WARNING – FUSING OF INDUCTIVE LOADS

     

 

In the unlikely 

event of a fault occurring in your Datapak, it is possible that damage 
could occur to incorrectly fused transformers or ballasts of inductive 
loads if you do not switch off within about one minute of the fault 
occurring.   Make sure that your inductive loads are fitted with the 
lowest value of anti-surge fuse that does not blow in normal use.   If in 
doubt contact Pulsar.   Pulsar cannot be held responsible for damage 
to incorrectly fused inductive loads under these circumstances.   
Pulsar Pinspots are fully protected by self-resetting solid-state fuses. 

IMPORTANT- CAPACITIVE LOADS

 may only be Switched by 

a Dimming / Switching Datapak.  To dim such loads remove all of 
their Power Factor Correction capacitors.  It is possible to damage 
your load if this is not done.  Pulsar cannot be held responsible for 
damage to capacitive loads under these circumstances. 

INTERFERENCE SUPPRESSION

       

The Datapak has a 

comprehensive choke/capacitor interference suppression system 
which reduces the level of interference produced to below the levels 
required by EN55022, BS800, VDE0875 etc..   However, a small 
amount of residual interference always exists with this type of of 
equipment, so it is advisable to keep all lighting and mains leads 
associated with the Datapak as far away as possible from sensitive 
microphone or guitar pick up leads and A.M. radios; by doing this we 
do not envisage any problems. 

MAINTENANCE 

   

Pulsar Datapaks use the very latest techniques 

(pioneered by us) to completely eliminate the need for routine 
adjustments.   The sophisticated circuits we have developed are self 
stabilising against changes in mains voltage, mains frequency, top 
and bottom control voltage levels, preheat drift, drifting of component 
values, etc. 

PORTABLE APPLIANCE TESTING 

The Datapak may be 

safely Earth Bond and Insulation Tested (500V).
