3. Turn the front panel Master Control Switch

to the STOP position or deactivate the electrical

master enable input (see "Electrical I/O" in the

"Installation" section of this manual). This will

disable speed control to all rotators.

4. Turn the front panel Power ON/OFF switch to

the OFF position. This will disable speed control

to all rotators. This should be used as a last resort.

The above methods are preferred over this one.

FAULT DESCRIPTIONS

Atomizer Card

The PulseTrack 2 system performs a number of

operational diagnostics and will automatically stop

a rotator in the event that an unsafe or abnormal

condition exists. The possible rotator speed

faults are listed below. These fault conditions

are also supplied through remote output signals

(see "Electrical I/O" in the "Installation" section

of this manual).

Over Speed - oS

When this fault occurs “oS” is displayed on the

speed display of the Atomizer Card. In addition,

the Master Overspeed, Master Fault and corre-

sponding Rotator Fault outputs turn on. For bell

rotators, this fault occurs when the rotator speed

exceeds the setpoint by 10,000 rpm. For disk

rotators, this fault occurs if the disk speed becomes

greater than 45,000 rpm.

Under Speed - uS

(not used for disk rotators)

When this fault occurs “uS” is displayed on the

speed display of the Atomizer Card. In addition,

the Master Underspeed, Master Fault and corre-

sponding Rotator Fault outputs turn on. For bell

rotators, this fault occurs when the rotator speed

is less than the setpoint by 10,000 rpm or more.

Loss of Feedback - LF

When this fault occurs “LF” is displayed on the

speed display of the Atomizer Card. In addition,

the Master LOF, Master Fault and corresponding

Rotator Fault outputs turn on. This fault occurs

when speed control is active and the microcon-

troller detects that no speed feedback signal is

present. When the rotator is spinning, the fiber

optic cable sends pulses of light back to the Fiber

Optic Receiver Module located in the PulseTrack

2 control panel. The Fiber Optic Receiver Module

converts these light pulses to electrical pulses

which are then sent to the microcontroller for

processing. If no pulses are detected by the mi-

crocontroller and speed control is active, a Loss

of Feedback fault occurs.

Invalid Speed Request - In

This fault occurs when the speed setpoint is set

to a value that exceeds the maximum speed of a

given rotator. In addition, the corresponding Rota-

tor Fault output turns on. When this fault occurs,

the rotator keeps spinning at the last acceptable

speed and “In” flashes alternately in the speed

display along with the current speed. When the

setpoint is reduced below maximum, the rotator

begins spinning at the new speed, “In” is removed

from the speed display and the corresponding

Rotator Fault output turns off.

Optional Temperature/Humidity

Card

No Connection - nc

This fault occurs when the microcontroller detects

a loss of either the temperature or humidity 4 -

20 mA signal. When the temperature/humidity

switch is in the position of the lost signal, “nc” will

be shown on the temperature/humidity display. If

both signals are lost (unconnected or cut cable)

“nc” will be shown in both switch positions.
