Pulsar Plus Controller Family
Introduction
Pulsar Plus Family Controllers
Overview
The Pulsar Plus family of controllers is comprised of the Pulsar Plus, Pulsar Edge, and Phoenix controllers.
This manual covers the Pulsar Plus and Phoenix controllers.
These controllers were developed for both indoor and outdoor cabinet power applications.
Modular hardware and software design of the controllers allow for easy customization for specific applications.
Controllers provide control and alarm monitoring functions over several communication interfaces including a standard RS-485 digital serial interface that interconnects system rectifiers, converters, and other peripherals. Compatible rectifiers include NE, CP, NP, EP, IP, and 59X series.
Local and remote access is provided.
Features are factory configured to industry standard defaults to minimize the setup process in the field.
Customer specified factory default configuration is also available.
Key Features
• Modular design allows different packaging alternatives: a single power slot positions of the rectifier
shelf, mounting to a cabinet or distribution door, and 1U rack-mount option
• Easily field replaceable
• Standard or customer specific factory defaults supported
• Support of more than one factory default
• Supports dual voltage plants, with rectifiers and converters
• Auto -sensing dual voltage (both voltages and both currents displayed on front panel)
• Power Unit control and management
• Centralized settings for converter and rectifier output set-point voltages.
• Up to 60 NE power modules (Rectifiers and converters)
• Up to 32 CP rectifiers
• Extensive Battery Management features
• Management of four independent Low Voltage Disconnects (LVDs)
Up to eight contactors can be assigned to contactor interface IDs Load disconnects operated by low voltage, low voltage and/or time delay, remote command, or
external control signal
Battery disconnect operated by voltage threshold, voltage threshold and/or time, remote
command, high battery temperature, or Emergency Power Off (EPO) signal
• Battery recharge current limit feature
• Low and high temperature voltage compensation
Independent adjustable slopes

Pulsar Plus Controller Family
Applications
The Pulsar Plus controller family has applications in Infinity NE, Infinity P2, the Compact Power (CP) Line, EPS, and previous generation power systems. Following are product depictions utilizing the various configurations of the controller. These applications utilize the NE843A slot controller and the NE843C, NE843E, and NE843P door/panel mounted controllers. Consult appropriate system manuals, technical field support or your local sales representative for more details on these or other power systems.
