Power and control is the key to successful lighting.Nobody knows more about this than Pulsar, one of thepioneers of special effects lighting technology.Pulsar has achieved an enviable international reputationfor quality and reliability. Based in the heart of Cambridge,the centre of technological excellence in the UK, Pulsardevelops and manufactures award-winning productsthat have provided the core of many hi-tech installations.Pulsar’s philosophy is to provide a universal productrange that is available to everyone, with a commitmentto quality and customer service that is second to none.

Pulsar’s roots began way back in 1966, when PaulMardon built his first Sound-to-Light machine usingvalves and relays before studying Engineering andManagement at Cambridge University!Graduating with fellow student Ken Sewell in 1970,Ken joined Paul by buying a half share in the businessand by 1980 Pulsar had grown into a market leaderemploying one hundred personnel. In 1999 Pulsar entered a new stage of developmentwhen Paul purchased Ken’s half share, becoming thesole owner of the company. Today the team is still onehundred strong but with seven times the turnover. Pulsar is proud that many of their dedicated staff havebeen with the company since the early days, workingtogether to build Pulsar into the world famousmanufacturer of special effects lighting equipment thatit is today.

Over the years Pulsar has developed a strongrelationship with Clay Paky of Italy. Pulsar’s strength inelectronics and software allied with Clay Paky’sexperience of optics and mechanics has led to arange of world-beating intelligent projectors, includingthe famous Mini Scan, Golden Scan, Stage Scan,Super Scan and Stage Line.The very close technical relationship has encouragedclose commercial co-operation between the twocompanies, with joint exhibition stands across theworld and the development of a joint globaldistribution structure, based on the Clay Paky andPulsar philosophy of customer support.

The successful use of high technology productsrequires a highly-trained dealer network. Pulsar has acomprehensive training program to equip ourdistributors and dealers with the knowledge totranslate clients’ needs into successfully installedand maintained lighting systems.

The Masterpiece™ range of universal lighting controllers will control

theatre lanterns, scans, par cans, strobes, pinspots, tubelights, display

spots, downlighters, floods, multi-mirror lamps, neon, etc., and

produce every look you could ask for. The Masterpiece range breaks

the boundaries of stage, effects and environment lighting control by

having a powerful multitasking structure for simple and quick

programming and editing.

� CHANNELS are the level at which Masterpiece communicates with

lighting fixtures. Channel level information is transmitted in both

Pulsar MultipleX (PMX) and DMX serial digital formats. A number of

channels are also available as 0-10V analogue.

� SCENES – each containing any of the output channels recorded at

any level. Scenes allow you to save a particular look or position.

� SCENE CHASES – a sequence of Scene memories. All may run

concurrently, with individual speeds, slopes, directions and triggers.

� ENVIRONMENTS contain any combination of channel levels,

Scenes and Scene Chases. Each Environment memory contains all

of the items you require to produce a particular dynamic mood in

your performance. Environments also facilitate powerful structured

moving-light programming.

� ENVIRONMENT CHASES – complete shows on one button. They

can even be recorded and played in real-time!

Masterpiece units feature internal non-volatile memory to protect your

programmes. In addition you can store your shows on credit card sized

RAM cards for backup, changing shows or transfer between

Masterpieces. Masterpiece units also provide an advanced security

facility making it ideal for pre-programmed applications. All

Masterpiece controllers are supplied complete with memory card,

gooseneck lamp, comprehensive manual and training video.

� Instant access to the channels, scenes and chases is always provided

� Grand master and black-out provided for the whole desk.

The Masterpiece 216 accepts an audio input which is used for sound-to-

light. Pulsar Modulator’s sound-to-light circuits are built in to give 3 zones

of 4 audio bands, each patchable at any level to the 216 channels. Scene

chases can also be selected to bass and treble burst or step modes.

A fully programmable joystick is provided, that can be “patched” to any

of the 216 channels to control motors, moving mirrors, etc.

The Masterpiece 216 features a DMX patching system that allows the

standard 216 PMX channels to control upto a maximum of 512 DMX

output slots. This is particularly useful when controlling large numbers

of intelligent lighting fixtures.

The Masterpiece 216 provides a powerful Chase-Generator that allows

for quick generation of complex chase effects and aids the efficient use

of Scenes. The memory of Masterpiece 216 is able to hold 8 shows at

any one time, each show can be easily recalled.

The design and concept behind the Masterpiece 108 is similar to the

Masterpiece 216, the differences being as follows:

� 108 PMX dimmable output channels (Pulsar MultipleX)

� 256 DMX output slot patching system

� Single show stored in memory

� Single show stored in memory card

� 48 Pulsar MultipleX (PMX) and DMX serial digital output channels

� 22 Environments � 2 Environment Chases

� 3 zone, 4 band fully patchable sound-to-light

The Masterpiece 48 has been designed for smaller applications where

fewer channels of control are required, and is ideally suited to band,

discotheque and moving light applications. The multi-tasking structure

provides just the right amount of programming power required for smaller

venues that have a combination of scans, generic and strobe fixtures.

� On Screen Text Labelling of all your programs

� Works with Masterpiece 216, 108, 48 and Replay Unit

� Stores 2 shows in memory

� Memory card backup

An optional screen interface is available for the Masterpiece range.

The Pulsar range of control desks are designed with the aid of

computers and employ the latest technology to offer you improved

facilities and reliable operation. In our modern Cambridge factory we

believe that quality can only be assured by direct supervision of all

phases of manufacture, which is why as well as electronics assembly,

we fabricate all our own metalwork, we paint and print our own panels

and we make our own printed circuit boards in-house.

This integrated approach to manufacturing also has the advantage of lower

costs, which are passed through to customers in the final product, making

all Pulsar products keenly competitive with those of other manufacturers.

When you purchase a Pulsar product you know you can count on our many

years of experience supplying lighting controllers all over the world to give

you reliable trouble-free service and technical excellence.

All desks are fitted with high quality slider controls which have a very

smooth positive action and steel shafts for greater strength and reliability.

All models are attractively finished with anodised aluminium panels.

Using a combination of models a flexible control system may be built

up with subsequent advantages of savings in energy, installation and

cost. This provides the user with greater ease in controlling the

atmosphere for differing types of function or times of the day.

To ensure absolute safety in non-professional applications such as

schools and colleges all models are low voltage units operating on less

than 25V DC without a connection to the mains supply.They are therefore

inherently safe as they operate on less than 75V DC as specified in the

Low Voltage Directive 73/23/EEC, a further guarantee of our attention to

every detail to provide you with the best in available equipment.

Pulsar manufacture a wide range of signal processing devices to suit

many of today’s lighting applications.The entire range encompasses units

capable of processing both analogue and digital lighting control signals.

All units are housed in robust enclosures designed to give long term

reliability when used on the road.

The Universal Interface decodes channels of serial digital information

from a Pulsar Masterpiece for example, in DMX, PMX/RS232 or MIDI

format, into channels of analogue 0-10V. It needs no mains connection

as it receives its low voltage supply from the Pulsar dimming or

switching packs which it would normally be used to control. These

power packs then control lighting effects such as ordinary tungsten,

neon, pinspots, motorised effects, etc.

The units are compact and inexpensive making the Universal Interface

attractive for lighting specialists who need flexible equipment able to

cope with the requirements of different lighting designers.

receiving start address for DMX, PMX/RS232 or MIDI while the second

selects the MIDI channel and other MIDI options. A test routine can also

be selected using one of the DIL switches.

MIDI capability offers the possibility for musicians to interface the lighting

equipment used in sequenced performances. The unit can be set to

respond to velocity information to set channel levels, as well as ‘note-off’

information, so the unit can effectively work in ‘latch’ or ‘flash’ mode.

Universal Interfaces can be set to respond to different start addresses,

allowing a large lighting rig to be controlled with a number of Interfaces.

6 LEDs are fitted with the following functions:

POWER ON shows that power is being received from the dimmer or

switching packs or power supply

INPUT SIGNAL 3 LEDs show which data format has been detected

RECEIVING DATA shows that data is reaching the Interface

DATA ERROR shows that the Interface did not recognise the last

received information.

The Interface decodes 8 bit binary data and so provides 256 levels

between 0-10V. The outputs are via isolating diodes, so they may feed

the same dimmer or switching packs as other controllers – the highest

taking priority.

The PMX/DMX – Strobe Interface is designed

to convert digital channel information into

analogue trigger signals suitable for strobe

lighting, thus enabling dimming and strobe type

lighting systems to run through a single digital data cable. The Interface

decodes a block of 18 output channels from a single data cable carrying

either Pulsar MultipleX or the DMX industry standard protocols. The unit

is housed in compact metal, fitted with mounting flanges making it ideal

for wall, ceiling or rig mounting close to the strobe units it will drive. The

Interface works by giving a +15 Volt (approximately) level out when the

PMX or DMX channel level is greater than 50%. When the channel level

is below 50% the output will be 0V. The output impedance of each

channel is 270 ohms. All the Pulsar range of strobes flash on the positive

edge of this signal. Therefore the strobe will trigger each time the

channel goes above the 50% threshold.

The Pulsar Voltage Translator provides an effective means of

interfacing modern +10V control desks with existing dimmer systems

that receive -10V signals. The unit converts 6 channels. The input

connector for the +10V desk is an 8-pin DIN whilst the output (dimmer)

connector is a trailing male Blecon compatible of 1.5m in length.

All Pulsar power packs provide a safe low

voltage (+18-22 Volt) output which is often

used to power the controller. The Power

Supply Unit can be used to provide this

required supply for applications that do

not require the use of Pulsar power packs.

The ZERO 4001 has been designed for club, band, mobile and display

applications and has been based upon the industry standard Zero 3000

and 4000 units. To these world famous units many additional features

such as full dimming and remote control have been included by our

research and development team to make the Zero 4001 the most

comprehensive 3/4 channel effects controller available today.

The Zero 4001 features a fully automatic self-adjusting mains circuitry

that allows it to operate on any supply voltage within the 100-240V 50-

60Hz range. Utilising either 3 or 4 channels the Zero 4001 can control

up to 5 Amps per channel but not exceeding the 15 Amps maximum

total load for the unit. Each channel is capable of controlling any

resistive load such as ordinary tungsten lighting and any inductive load

such as neon, pinspots, properly ballasted fluorescent lamps and

motorised effects in any combination.

5 amp, F-Fast, 5 x 20mm, ceramic, high rupture current (HRC) output

fuses are provided for protection of each channel. The fuse holders are

mounted on the back panel adjacent to the output sockets which are

available in different output types, Bulgin or IEC.

On the front panel LED indicators monitor the status for Standby / Go,

Power and additionally one monitor LED per channel shows the current

channel levels.

The Standby mode can be selected from the front panel switch and can

be overridden by an external control voltage of above 5 volts applied to

the Remote Control Socket. The channel monitors provide continuous

indication and operate even in Standby mode allowing you to

“preview” your selected effect.

A Master Dimmer knob provides control of the overall level of all the

channels allowing continuously variable intensity control from 0-100%.

4 Manual buttons are provided with the facility to flash a channel to the

Master Dimmer level at any time, providing the unit is NOT in Standby.

4 Channel Selection switches select each channel to one of 6 modes.

The Off, Half and Full modes control the static brightness of the desired

channel. The Chase mode selects that the channel is to be included in

the selected chase pattern. The Bass / Tenor / Alto / Treble mode

ROLselects the channel to Soundlite mode. Finally the Remote mode

provides for external control from other Pulsar products via the rear

panel Remote Control Socket.

Any of the channels selected to Chase will be affected by the Pattern

select switch which allows choice of one of 11 patterns or allows the

unit to Auto Change through the patterns (Flip-Flop and Flash are not

included in Auto Change). Additionally a Direction select switch selects

between Forward, Reverse, Bass direction change, Bounce/2,

Bounce/4 modes or allows the unit to Auto change the direction.

The Slope control knob varies the chase from a crossfade (gentle

fading) to a fast switching effect. A Constant / Bass Burst switch gives

either a burst of chase steps for the duration of the bass beat or a fixed

speed set by the Speed control of 10 minutes per step at Minimum to

approximately 50 steps per second at the Maximum setting.

A 3/4 Channel Chase switch on the rear panel allows 3 or 4 channel

chase patterns to be generated by the unit.

Whilst in Soundlite mode the advanced sound-to-light function

separates the incoming audio signal into 4 audio bands and uses the

volume in those bands to control the 4 channels. Automatic Volume

Control (AVC) circuits adjust for overall changes in the music volume

and tone. The Contrast control knob varies the sound-to-light effect

from a crossfade (gentle fading) to a fast switching effect.

A full range Audio Input is provided via standard 1/4” stereo IN and

THRU jack sockets mounted on the rear panel. They accept signals

from a sound system in the range of 0.5-100V RMS with a input

impedance of 33K ohms. The signal is not earthed directly within the

unit but through a resistor. This serves to eliminate any possible earth

loops and hence hum and interference on your sound equipment.

Additionally there is an electronic circuit to enhance the separation

between the sound-to-light channels to increase effectiveness.

When any channel is in Remote mode it can be controlled via the

Remote Control 8-pin DIN socket on the back panel of the unit. It

provides advanced control facilities over the Zero 4001 unit. The socket

accepts six 0-10V channels where channel 6 can be used to override

the Standby function on the front panel (channel 6>5v to GO). Channel

5 on the socket enables channels 1-4 to function in 2 modes as

follows:

Mode 1 is selected when channel 5 is below 5 volts. It allows channels

1-4, when switched to Remote, to become dimmer control channels

(0-10v = 0-Master Dimmer level).

Mode 2 is selected when channel 5 is above 5 volts. In this mode

channel inputs 1-4 have special functions, including Standby/Go,

Chase/Soundlite, Run/Step chase and chase Step. These features are

present on the Pulsar LiteFoot.

� Floor-standing foot control unit perfect for bands, duos etc.

The SW12MV is capable of controlling resistive or inductive loads,

allowing an easy and convenient way to turn on your ancillary

equipment by the flick of a switch. It is 2U high and fits comfortably in

any Pulsar 19” Rack Cabinet. 12 Neon Rocker Switches control the

power to the outputs. Each switch is capable of taking a maximum of

10 Amps resistive, 3A inductive, with a total maximum of 20 Amps.

Input and output connections for hardwiring the mains input/output

connections are provided on the rear of the units.

The SW12LV is intended for use as a remote switching controller.

Switching (or Dimming) Packs (or any Pulsar product with input DIN

sockets) may be controlled via the two DIN sockets located on the back

panel, this will allow your SW12LV to switch on your Pack(s) from a

different location. It is 1U high and fits any Pulsar 19” Rack Cabinet.

A master power switch controls the power from the controller to the 12

relevant channel switches with a red LED that indicates when power is

applied to the unit. Each channel has its own On/Off Mini Rocker

Switch, with a green monitor LED to show the state each channel is in.

Two output DIN sockets are provided on the back panel. The 12 way

switch unit is ideally used together with the SW6000 (see page 22).

The SLC4000 and SLC4000-19 are capable of controlling any resistive

load such as ordinary tungsten lighting and any inductive load such as

neon, pinspots and motorised effects in any combination.

A chaser function provides sequenced patterns of the 4 output

channels, additionally a sound-to-light function that separates the

audio signal into 4 audio bands.

LED channel indicators are provided on the front panel, one LED for

Standby/Go indication, one LED for mains On indication plus one

monitor LED per channel.

The sound-to-light function needs no controls. The SLC4000 has fully

automatic sound-to-light circuits with a master Automatic Volume

Control (AVC) circuit to adjust for overall changes in the music volume,

and, in addition to this, one AVC circuit for each audio band adjusts for

changes in the level between, for example, the bass and treble.

A standby/go switch provides a standby mode. During this mode the

monitor LEDs stay working so a particular pattern may be selected

before the lights are enabled. In addition a remote control standard

1/4” mono jack accepts low voltage signals from another controller to

switch the unit between standby and go; the standby/go switch on the

front panel overrides this input.

Pattern select switches allow the selection of a particular pattern or

allows the unit to auto-change the pattern after a number of chase

steps. A direction select switch is used to select forward or reverse or

allow the unit to auto-change direction.

A constant speed or bass burst switch allows an audio input to give

‘bass burst’ chases, where the chase steps for the duration of the bass

beat. The number of chase steps per beat depends upon the setting of

the Speed control. In constant speed mode the unit allows control

between approximately 1 step per second at MIN, to approximately 50

steps per second at MAX.

The SLC units require a mains supply of 100-240V, 50-60Hz (self

adjusting). The maximum load is 15 Amps maximum which will depend

on load connected.

An audio input is connected to the unit via a standard 1/4” stereo jack

socket, this accepts signals from your sound system. On the SCL4000

(floor-standing) unit, connection to the output loads is made by a Bulgin

P552 socket using Pulsar standard multiway leads or the P551 plug

provided; whilst the SLC4000-19 (19” Rack) model uses 4 standard

IEC sockets for connections to the output loads.

The Pulsar Touch Panel provides low voltage output signals to control

12 channels of lighting, motors and effects, strobes and other

controllers. The unit is supplied with 12 on/off, latching pads.

Additionally there are 24 programmable touch pads (on 2 keyboards) –

each one can control any combination of the 12 output channels.

All 3 keyboards may have Flash, Latching (toggle), Swop, or Solo

action. Swop and Solo may work globally across the keyboards. The

Chase Keyboard has 4 programmable chases with a total of 170 chase

steps available. The speed ranges from 30 steps per second to one

step every 10 minutes making the unit suitable for a number of

different uses, varying from the control of strobes at the fast speed to

environmental switching of other controllers using the very slow speed.

The chase can be manually stepped or synchronised using the remote

control step facility which can operate in slave mode accepting inputs

from other Touch Panels, or master mode to control other Touch Panels

The audio circuits for Bass Step and Bass Burst of the chases are built

into the Touch Panel itself.

To avoid inexperienced operators accidentally disrupting established

programs the new Touch Panel can deny “Operator” access to any pad.

As a low voltage controller the Touch Panel is normally connected to

one or more power packs. These are capable of controlling any lighting

effect such as neon, pinspots, helicopters and motorised effects up to

the rated power. In addition, most Pulsar controllers can be remotely

controlled directly from the Touch Panel.

This state-of-the-art controller is intended as the heart of an integrated

control system. A combination of individual effects and lighting

controllers can be centrally operated from one Touch Panel by the

lighting operator. Alternatively the Touch Panel can be programmed to

automatically control the whole lighting system without an operator.

� 3 channels (shown above) or 4 channels (shown opposite)

� Individually selectable 3 zones of output to lights

� Dimming (0-10V output) for use with remote Pulsar Power packs

� Modulator 4 also features two auxiliary sliders

� Master and Individual channel control sliders

� Chaser: Constant speed/Music rev-up/Music rev-down/Bass step.

� Reversing: Forward/Reverse/Auto reverse/Bass reverse

� Patterns: 8 patterns + auto change

� Speed, Effect mix, Sound-to-light decay and contrast sliders

� Remote enable socket for Touch Panel input

The Pulsar Modulators both provide features that allows the operator

complete control over the lighting. Each unit possesses the same basic

controls. Individual channel sliders are used either as straight-forward

level controls or to set the average brightness. Each channel is also

fitted with a flash button.

The chaser section offers a very comprehensive range of eight pre-

programmed chase sequences which can be individually selected or

automatically selected in turn through the auto-change facility. Chase

can be at constant speed (set by a speed control) or controlled by

music using music rev-up, music rev-down and bass step modes. The

reversing section of the Modulator provides forward, reverse, auto-

change and bass reversing functions. The operator can mix between

combinations of chase and sound-to-light for some fantastic effects.

The sound-Light decay slider enables the operator to vary the decay

time of the lights.

The Master Contrast is one of the most important controls because

with it the operator sets the mood of the lighting. As the contrast level

is increased the effect produced changes from soft to more dramatic.

A Master Dimmer controls the overall lighting level and three Zone

switches are fitted allowing the unit to control up to three different

displays of lighting.

The units produce a low voltage output and are designed to be used

with Pulsar range of dimmer packs.

A zone switch remote control socket. This means that each zone can

be switched remotely by a Touch Panel. The Modulator 4 also has a

three/four channel select switch which means that the unit can be

used as part of a three channel system initially but upgraded at a later

date to a four channel system as required.

Over the years the sophistication of controllers has increased with the

improvements in electronics technology generally. The Modulators use

microprocessors to offer a greater range of effects than was previously

possible, but the use of high technology in itself is of no value without

the close co-operation of our customers and dealers world-wide. Their

advice and suggestions have helped us to produce two units which, we

hope, meet your requirements – and a little more besides.

Pulsar’s Datapak range has been specially designed with cost effective

permanent installations in mind. In particular, the digital input and

ability to be either wall mounted or fitted into 19” rack cabinets makes

the range ideally suited to high quality professional applications. The

Datapak range of power packs provides the same electronic reliability

as our full range of rack mounted dimming and switching packs. The

special design features allow the Datapak units to be either wall or

rack mounted. All models within the range are capable of receiving the

3 major control standards – Analogue 0-10V, PMX and DMX using an

internal demultiplexing system with full diagnostic indication that

makes them ideal for large scale installation.

All units in the Datapak range will accept mains voltage in the range of

100 – 230 VAC +/-10%, 1 or 3 phase, star or delta, frequency 48-62Hz.

There is no voltage selector as the electronics automatically adjusts to

the incoming voltage and frequency. Three phase supply neons are also

provided to show when there is mains voltage at the Datapak. An

electronics on/off switch with built in indicator neon, controls

the power to the electronics.

DATAPAK™ RANGE

19

Pulsar Datapaks use the very latest techniques (pioneered by Pulsar) 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.

On the front panel two sets of indicators are provided; fuse blown

neons (Red) which show when their channel fuse has blown, and

output monitor neons (Green) that show the status of the output.

All dimming versions feature a lamp preheat switch which prevents the

lamp filaments from cooling right down. This can be used to prevent

heavy surge currents that occur when cold filaments are switched on,

thus extending lamp life.

Additionally, input smoothing is used to control attack and decay times

to extend lamp life and ensure flicker free operation.

Dimming versions allow for channels to be selected to “Switch” mode

allowing the pack to be used for both dimming or switching.

The Datapak range features many internal controls and indicators

designed to assist the installation and service engineers. Some of the

internal features include:

Normal/Full-on channel test switches – one per channel. The switches

should be in the “norm” position for control from a desk. Use the “full on”

position for testing and diagnostics without having to connect a desk.

Output monitor LEDs (Green) – one per channel, indicating its status

before the output circuitry (triac, choke etc.). Thus it may be used in

conjunction with the output “monitor neon” to indicate the location of

a possible fault.

Digital circuitry LEDs (Red) – there are four LEDs provided. The DMX

and PMX (Pulsar MultipleX using RS232/423) LEDs show the type of

data being received by the Datapak, the ERR LED indicates an ERRor in

the received data, and the RX LED shows when data is being received.

The software automatically recognises both DMX and PMX.

Digital start address select and test switches are provided to allow the

installer to select the required digital start address for the Datapak. A

test switch also provides an automatic internal test sequence where a

block of 3 channels moves through the Datapak channels.

Analogue 0-10V control signals are connected to an internal terminal

block if hardwiring or external 8-pin DIN sockets.

* A current supply is available to supply a Pulsar desk from pin 1 of all

DIN connectors, the supply voltage is 18-25 Volts at 120mA.

As with all Pulsar power packs, control cables do not need to be

screened as the inputs of the Datapak are filtered against hum and

interference. The input impedance of each channel is 100k ohms

enabling cable runs to be as long as necessary and the minimum size of

their conductors is limited only by considerations of mechanical strength.

Digital PMX or DMX control input signals are connected by internal

terminal block or 2 external 5-pin XLR sockets.

our Rackpaks. They provide 2 pole overcurrent protection and isolation -

particularly useful for 3 phase delta supplies. Our tests show that breakers

are not fast enough to protect triacs against short circuits - the fuses in

our packs continue to perform that function.The breakers are mounted on

a PCB and each is provided with input and output, lever operated, terminal

blocks for speed of wiring and for reliability of connection.

The Pulsar range of Portapaks is designed to span the range from

dimmers for a small amateur group, up to full touring rigs for

established performers. All dimmers used have been carefully

designed for complete on-the-road reliability offering 100% duty cycle

performance. We believe that our reliability is second to none.

The Portapak 1 will control 5 Amps per channel or 1200 watts at 240V.

Mounted into a Pulsar 8 Unit Rack Cabinet, the unit uses 3 of the

popular 6 x 5 Amp Status Dimmer Packs. The pack features a 3 x

Socapex multicore outlet panel and a BICC DIN signal distribution panel

for multicore interfacing with Pulsar control desks. Also included is a 3

phase 32 Amp CEE17 socket.

This system offers a similar specification as the Portapak 1, but with

10 Amps load capability per channel. The unit uses new Status version

10 Amp fan cooled dimmers fitted with twin Socapex outlet panels on

each pack, mounted into a Pulsar 12 Unit Rack Cabinet and fitted with

a 3 phase 63 Amp CEE17 socket.

The Portapak 3 is a professional touring dimmer system which is

supplied wired and tested in a high quality flight case enclosure. The

Portapak 3 is capable of controlling 36 channels of 10 Amp load and is

fitted with a comprehensive mains patching system required for

complete versatility whilst on the road. The unit features Rackpak

dimmer packs. The mains input to the unit is distributed via our 360

Amp Distribution Panel which provides RCCB protection, phase

indication and earth/neutral fault indication. In addition, a front panel

courtesy socket is also fitted.

Two versions are available. The analogue version features a 36 channel

signal input and patching system allowing any of the 36 inputs to be

patched to any of the 36 dimmer channels. Whereas the digital version

incorporates a Pulsar Universal Interface which translates PMX, DMX or

MIDI digital inputs into 36 channels of 0-10V analogue output which

are then fed to the dimmers.

The SW6000 is capable of controlling any resistive load such as

tungsten lighting and any inductive load such as neon, pinspots,

properly ballasted fluorescent lamps and motorised effects.

The unit is designed to operate on 100-240V, 50-60Hz mains supplies

and can handle 5 Amps per channel with a maximum total load of 15

Amps. Each of the 6 switching channels has a LED indicator, override

control switch and a 5 Amp protection fuse on the front panel. On the

rear a single IEC mains output connector is provided for each channel.

Low voltage control input is 0-10V provided via two 8-pin DIN

connectors mounted on the rear panel. The SW6000 is housed in an

ultra compact 1 unit high 19” rack mounting format and is therefore

perfect for remote switching and local mains control applications.

facilities expected on a profile spot of this type.The gate is fitted with four

stainless-steel beam-shaping shutters together with runners to accept

an optional gobo holder or iris, giving full control of the light beam.

Complementing the Pulsar stage spotlights is the range of Pulsar

cyclorama floods. Using up to 500W linear lamps these units provide even

floodlighting over a wide area. The units are available

singly or in battens of three or four.

� Fitted with automatic self-

resetting fuse

� 5.1 volt, 2500 hour tapping

� 6.0V, high brightness tapping

� 230V transformer

Pulsar pinspots are fitted with

solid-state fusing, which gives

complete protection, although tolerating

short-term abuse without tripping

unnecessarily. No longer is it necessary to dismantle an

installed pinspot after fuse failure because the fuse will be

automatically re-set after about one minute, provided the fault

condition is no longer present. Protection covers all eventualities. The

pinspot offers two possible voltages – 6.0v for high brightness giving

nominal lamplife of 250 hours – excellent for intermittent use on

controllers, and 5.1v giving a nominal lamplife of 2500 hours –

excellent for continuous use. Taking the various features together, high

quality transformer, solid state fusing and extra long life for the lamps,

we can truly say we manufacture a `fit and forget pinspot’.
