Pulsers

Will the PMP Rapid Fire™ Pulser work with the older model Keytrol® mechanical consoles?

No, the PMP Rapid Fire™ Pulser PMP #48503 will not work with the older Keytrol® Model 250 mechanical consoles.

The reason is the PMP Rapid-Fire pulser was designed with a newer technology and a very narrow band width of 12ms. This narrow bandwidth will not activate the mechanical relays in older model consoles. These old model relays are often referred to as “Ice Cube” relays because they are clear plastic, about the size and shape of an ice cube.

How do I remove the Rapid-Fire sensor from a VR-10 computer or non-computer?

The Rapid-Fire sensor has an anti-backlash bearing to prevent false pulses due to computer wheel bounce. This creates a very positive engagement with the computer gear.

This positive connection can make it seem a little difficult to remove the sensor in the event it needs to be removed. With a little care it is quite easy.

  1. Remove the two Torx T20 screws holding the tie bar and sensor in place.
  2. Note how the tie bar fits over locating lugs that are cast into the side frames of the computer.
  3. Hold the tie bar at each end
  4. Move the left side of the tie bar toward you about ½” away from the computer.
  5. Gently rock the tie bar up and down as you pull slightly up and towards you.
  6. This rocking action will help release the connection between the sensor anti-backlash gear and computer gear.
  7. The sensor will disengage and the sensor and tie bar will be free from the computer.
