6.1.3 Confirm Correct Incoming Power
Double check that the DLC-XP cover is on and tightened down. Apply power to the DLC-XP first.
Its proper operation will be confirmed when power is applied to the DLC-RC. When shutting down
the DLC, turn the power to the DLC-XP off after power has been removed from the DLC-RC.
Applying power to the DLC-RC will cause its display back-lighting to 'glow' with a yellow-green
light. The presence of this back-lighting is an excellent indication that the DLC-RC's incoming
power has been wired successfully and voltage is present. Characters may or may not appear on the
display. This is normal and will be covered in the next Step.
W ITHOUT PRIOR OPERATING KNOWLEDGE , IT IS IMPOSSIBLE TO TELL WHETHER OR NOT THE
PULSAR MOTOR WILL RUN WHEN POWER IS APPLIED TO THE DLC-RC. T HE USER IS
RESPONSIBLE FOR TAKING THE NECESSARY STEPS TO ENSURE THAT ALL ASPECTS OF SAFETY
HAVE BEEN CONSIDERED ( E . G ., ELECTRICAL , HYDRAULIC , ETC .). I F IN DOUBT , DISCONNECT
THE PULSAR MOTOR STARTER FROM J3 PRIOR TO APPLYING POWER .
The DLC-RC detects any adjustments made to the stroke adjustment mechanism (DLC-XP) while
its power is off. If it detects that the position has changed, it will perform a zero calibration when
the motor is started. This action is normal.
Turn on power at the main. If the DLC-RC's in-coming power is connected correctly, the back-
lighting on the DLC's display will illuminate (depending on lighting conditions, it may be necessary
to shade the display to confirm illumination). If the display is not illuminating, first check the line
voltage with a volt meter. If the voltage is correct, return to the Section 5-Installation: High Voltage
Connections. Otherwise, proceed with the next step.
6.1.4 Confirm the display and keypad are functioning properly
The example display messages are shown in English for demonstration purposes. If an alternate
language has been set, the text will appear as a translation of the English version.
Now that you have confirmed that the DLC-RC is receiving power, it is necessary to confirm that the
display and keypad are functioning properly. On normal power-up, the {SELF-TEST} display will
appear for approximately 5 seconds. After that time, the display may appear with a message similar
to any of those shown in Figure 14.
