    What to do if my Pulsar Measuring Instruments display shows 'Wiper Fault'?
    • L
      Lisa CarlsonAug 1, 2025
      If the main display of your Pulsar Measuring Instruments shows 'Wiper Fault', it indicates a problem with the wiper. First, check the transducer wiring, including the motor terminal. Use the F5 hotkey to start a manual wiper sweep. If the message persists, the issue lies with the wiper or motor. Remove the transducer, clear any obstructions, and try another manual sweep. If the fault continues, further consultation with Pulsar is required.

    Why aren't the relays changing state on my Pulsar SLUDGE FINDER 2 even though the LEDs change color?
    • K
      Keith DavisAug 11, 2025
      If the LEDs on your Pulsar Measuring Instruments change color at the relevant relay switch points but the relays do not change state, check the power supply to the unit and ensure the voltage selector is set to the correct position.

    What to do if my Pulsar Measuring Instruments display an incorrect reading for the current level on a dB transducer?
    • V
      Valerie RodgersAug 21, 2025
      If your Pulsar Measuring Instruments consistently displays an incorrect reading for the current level on a dB transducer, check the trace screen for the relevant transducer. If there is an obstruction in front of the true echo, enter Program Mode and directly access P21 (Set Distance) for xdr1 or P1021 for xdr2. Type in the distance of the true echo and press ENTER. Press ENTER again when prompted, wait until ‘Operation successful’ is displayed and return to Run Mode, the display should now update to correct reading.

    Why is the material level consistently incorrect on my Pulsar Measuring Instruments?
    • L
      Lauren YoungAug 27, 2025
      If the material level displayed by your Pulsar Measuring Instruments is consistently incorrect by the same amount, check the empty level (P105), display offset (P802), and measurement offset (P851).
