Use this menu entry to alter pulsing-type parameters.
ENABLING PULSING AT CURRENT THRESHOLD OR
ALWAYS
SUPPLY → PULSE → ENABLE
Use this menu function to enable pulsing at the current threshold (default setting), or
to enable pulsing always. If the unit is set to pulse at the current threshold, pulsing is
disabled until the Pinnacle Plus+ unit detects current flow above the current threshold.
At this point the unit will begin to pulse. For more information, see “High Power
Operation” on page 6-5.
If the unit is set to pulse always, the unit will pulse from the moment it is energized.
For more information, see “Low Power Operation” on page 6-4.
Note: If you choose to pulse always and set a high power operation power limit, the
upper-end pulsing frequency limit is 150 kHz. See “High Power Operation” on
page 6-5 for information about high power operation.
To enable pulsing at the current threshold or always:
1. Press SUPPLY → PULSE → ENABLE.
2. Rotate the MODIFY knob to display PULSING ENABLED AT CURRENT
THRESHOLD or PULSING ENABLED ALWAYS.
3. Press ENTER to accept and exit.
SETTING SYNC PULSE HARD ARC DETECTION
BROADCAST
SUPPLY → PULSE → B’CAST
Note: This feature is only available if your Pinnacle Plus+ unit was specifically
configured at the factory for Sync Pulse.
If Sync Pulse hard arc detection broadcast (B’CAST) is enabled, all units handle hard
arcs in synchronization with each other no matter which unit detects the hard arc, or
where the hard arc occurs.
To set Sync Pulse hard arc detection broadcast:
1. Press SUPPLY → PULSE → B’CAST
2. Select YES or NO to enable or disable this function.
If your unit is configured with a Sync Pulse port you may set up to six Pinnacle Plus+
units in a Sync Pulse system. See the section titled “Master/Slave Operation” near the
end of chapter 5 of this manual for more information.
