INTRODUCTION
Sensors
There are two generic types:
- No-touch sensors where a transmitted infra-red beam of light is reflected back
to the sensor by the proximity of a hand, called active infra-red.
- No-touch sensors where the sensor receives infra-red heat from a person in the
detection area, called passive infra-red.
Printed Circuit Boards (PCB)
The PCB is mounted in the Rada Pulse control box. The purpose of the PCB is to:
- Supply power (via the transformer) to the remote mounted sensor.
- To operate a remote mounted solenoid valve.
- To allow the operating functions to be programmed in through the hand held
programmer.
- To provide a signal so as to allow operation of the auxillaries.
DESCRIPTION
The Rada Pulse range of electronic products combine together to produce a controlled
washroom environment offering a high degree of energy and water conservation.
Rada Pulse Control Box
- The system is an independently mounted electronic control.
- The system operates at 12 V AC, 50/60 Hz with a 230V supply with a range of
sensors and control interfaces to suit showering, handwashing, urinal flushing
and W.C applications.
- The core of the system is the Rada Pulse Control Box containing a transformer
and a PCB. One control box can control up to ten outlets in any configuration
e.g. 5 showers, 3 washbasins, 1 urinal and 1 W.C.
- External to the Rada Pulse Control Box are the sensors and the solenoid valves
to control the water flow. They are all wired into the box.
The appropriate sensor and solenoid valve are all available in a convenient
'Operating System' package (supplied seperately).

INSTALLATION
General
The installation and maintenance of this unit must be carried out in
accordance with the instructions and information given in this Manual, and
must be conducted by designated, qualified and competent personnel.
1. Before commencing, ensure that the installation conditions comply with the
information given in the SPECIFICATION section.
2. Care must be taken during installation to prevent any risk of injury or damage.
3. All electrical connections should be in accordance with BS7671 and undertaken
by a competent person.
4. Isolate mains voltage supply before removing cover.
5. Installations must comply with all current Building and Electrical Regulations in
force, and relevant Guidelines.
6. The installation and usage environment of this product must not be subject to
extremes of moisture or temperature, unauthorised tampering or wilful abuse.
7. All solenoids must be approved to EN 60730-2-8.
Installation
The Rada Pulse Control Box is designed to interface with Rada Pulse sensors and
Rada Pulse solenoid valves (refer to individual Product Manuals for information)
which control the system functions.
The enclosure is intended for wall-mounting to a suitable flat dry surface (fixing screws
are supplied), accessible for maintenance. Make sure that you fit the sealing washers
to the fixing screws before installation.
Note! An installation template is supplied so that the fixing positions can be marked
and drilled without putting the control box on the wall (If the wall is uneven it is
advisable to fit a board to ensure surface is flat and the control box does not become
distorted).
This appliance is intended for permanent connection to the fixed electrical wiring of
the mains electric system via a double pole switched connection unit fused at 3
amps, which has at least 3 mm contact separation.
A mains 230 V supply cable of 2 metre length is pre-connected, this must not be
removed; do not renew the cable inside the box if damaged.

Safe low-voltage 12 V AC output is fuse-protected internally. This appliance is IP54
protected, provided blanking caps are fitted to unused cable holes and the cover seal
is fitted correctly.
All AC cable used on the installation must be HAR approved (0.75 mm).
The PCB has four connections to enable auxiliary items to be used in conjunction
with the pulse system (e.g.pump, fan, lights and disinfection).
The connection of these auxiliaries must be through a 12V relay with a maximum coil
resistance of 160 ohms.
Maximum cable runs for solenoid connection are as follows:
Cable Lengths
Metres

1. Use the installation template (supplied) to mark the positions of the fixing holes
for the control box.
2. Drill and plug the fixing holes.
3. Remove the cover from the control box.
4. Hold the control box in position and secure with the fixing screws (supplied).
Note! On some wall surfaces or structures alternative fixings may be required
(not supplied).
Programming of all outlets is via the hand held programmer.
WARNING!
Under normal operating conditions the input water temperature to the unit
SHALL be regulated to less than 55OC
During the disinfection process high water temperatures can be discharged
from the shower heads or taps. During this process suitable safety
precautions SHALL be taken to ensure that persons are not exposed to the
risk of scalding.

FAULT DIAGNOSIS
Symptom Cause/Rectification
1. All outlets do not
operate
(e.g. washbasin,
shower, urinal,
W.C).
a. Check power to Pulse control box (power light illuminated
on PCB).
b. If there is power to the control box, check fuse in
transformer.
2. Individual outlets
do not operate.
3. Outlets continue
running or run for
excessive
periods
a. Plug in hand held programmer and check timing for
outlet. Reprogram if necessary.
b. Check solenoid valve. Maintain or replace parts if
required.
4. Outlets only run
for a short period
of time.
a. Check output fuse on PCB. Replace as necessary.
b. Plug in hand held controller and check that non operating
outlet is set up correctly.
c. Plug in hand held controller and complete a system info
'error' check. This will identify if the sensor or solenoid
is incorrectly installed or faulty. Replace parts or products
as required.
d. Check solenoid. Replace if necessary.
a. Plug in hand held programmer and check timing for
outlet. Reprogram if necessary.
