Rate or ratio starts drifting
The pulsator may still click, but the delivered pulse no longer matches what the system is supposed to be doing.
Reveal PulseGuard Pro · For dairy parlors running 24 VDC coil-driven pulsators
PulseGuard Pro drives 24 VDC coil-driven pulsators and verifies what actually happened: rate, ratio, coil current, pulsator output current, vacuum level, and system vacuum for that quadrant.
A pulsator can be commanded to run at the right rate and ratio and still behave wrong at the stall. PulseGuard Pro closes that gap by driving the pulsator, measuring the result, and watching the electrical and vacuum conditions around it.
The pulsator may still click, but the delivered pulse no longer matches what the system is supposed to be doing.
Coil current and pulsator output current can show abnormal draw, weak coils, shorts, or dropouts before the failure is obvious in the pit.
The box watches vacuum behavior during pulsation and validates system vacuum for that quadrant when the pulsator is idle.
Once control and monitoring are handled, external triggering and PWM drive reduce unnecessary cycles, heat, power use, and wear.
It is not just a timer and not just a sensor. It controls the pulsator, measures the result, watches current and vacuum, and reports the stall that needs attention.
PulseGuard Pro drives the 24 VDC pulsator coil instead of only watching a legacy output.
Front and rear pressure sensors verify that the delivered pulse matches the target rate and ratio.
Coil current and pulsator output current are watched for weak coils, shorts, abnormal draw, and dropouts.
The sensors monitor vacuum during pulsation and validate quadrant system vacuum when the pulsator output is not active.
Rate drift, ratio drift, current faults, vacuum faults, and dropouts can be recorded in Reveal so the problem is tied to a specific stall.
External 24 VDC triggering and PWM coil drive reduce unnecessary runtime, heat, energy use, and pulsator wear.
Control loop
You tell it what pulsation you want. It drives the pulsator, measures what actually came out, checks the current and vacuum, then corrects or alerts when the stall moves out of line.
PulseGuard Pro sends the controlled 24 VDC output needed to hit the target rate and ratio.
Pressure sensors and current sensing confirm rate, ratio, coil behavior, pulsator output current, and vacuum level.
If the pulse, coil behavior, or quadrant vacuum moves out of line, the operator gets a status and the Reveal system gets the record.
A single bad point is not just an equipment nuisance. It can change how a cow milks, how long she stands with a unit on, and what shows up later in the bulk tank.
Stable b-phase and d-phase timing helps protect the rest phase cows need every cycle.
Erratic vacuum events at the teat end are one of the problems you want to catch early.
Inconsistent pulse timing can leave residual milk and make takeoff timing harder to trust.
Cows like rhythm. Bad pulsation can mean fidgeting, stepping, kicking, and slower let-down.
Pulsation problems can contribute to teat-end damage, mastitis risk, and problems that eventually show up on the milk check.
When pulsation is known and recorded, every other parlor problem is easier to diagnose.
Running pulsators only when a cow is on the unit reduces unnecessary cycles, heat, and service pressure.
Integration
PulseGuard Pro is for parlors running standard 24 VDC pulsator coils. One box controls and monitors one pulsation point, using the existing detacher or milk/wash signal to run only when that stall is active.
Built for retrofit planning around major systems using standard 24 VDC pulsator coils.
From a small flat parlor to a large rotary, the model is one watched pulsation point at a time.
Connect to the detacher or milk/wash controller so the pulsator output is not cycling between cows.
Less unnecessary pulsator runtime and efficient PWM coil drive help reduce energy use and extend pulsator life.
When a stall is not actively pulsing, the sensors still help verify that quadrant has adequate system vacuum under load.
PulseGuard Pro gives you a way to catch pulsation and vacuum problems by stall instead of waiting for symptoms in the herd.
