The all-new PULSE chain hoist now available
The PULSE chain hoist enhances reliability by enabling manual operation during extended power outages. Simple to use, it engages with a red cord and disengages with a green cord. An interlock switch ensures power to the operator is disconnected when the chain hoist is engaged.
This helps prevent downtime, protects operations, and provides peace of mind for businesses that require uninterrupted performance.
The PULSE chain hoist is simple, intuitive and ready when needed, giving users confidence that their doors will remain functional in any situation.
The PULSE chain hoist is available as an additional option for PULSE 200, PULSE 300, PULSE 400BD, and PULSE 400HD commercial models.

90V or 180V direct-drive DC motors: the better choice for your commercial door operator
There are many advantages to choosing a DC operator for commercial and industrial applications. Improved strength, speed control, efficiency, and longevity are just a few of the benefits worth considering.
Most DC door operators on the market today rely on 24V motors. While adequate for light-duty use, they often fall short in demanding environments where performance, reliability and efficiency are essential.
90V and 180V DC motors are a major upgrade
This is why PULSE operators from iControls are built with either a robust 90V (up to 1 HP) or
180V DC motor (up to 3 HP), offering a clear advantage in commercial settings.
Unlike many competing operators, PULSE motors are horsepower-rated, not
“horsepower equivalent”. When you choose PULSE, you can be confident you’re
getting the power that’s promised.
With 24V motors, achieving higher speed means sacrificing torque. And when
higher torque is required, top speeds become limited. With PULSE motors, there’s
no need to compromise, they deliver both high torque and high speed.
Built for performance and dependability Choosing a PULSE operator means investing in a system engineered for strength and durability. The advantages of direct-drive 90V or 180V DC motors are clear. PULSE operators are the smarter choice for those who value exceptional performance and long-term dependability.

PULSE 400: the next evolution in DC direct-drive technology
iControls® is proud to introduce our new PULSE 400 Commercial Series, a powerful and versatile line of direct-drive operators engineered for demanding commercial environments. With universal input voltage compatibility, the 400 Series accepts 208V to 600V AC (1 phase or 3 phase) right out of the box, making it ready for global deployment.
Output RPM Control Program the RPM for the gearbox output of the open cycle and close cycle for constant door speeds that suit the installation. With its speed detecting encoder, the PULSE 400 accommodates for the input voltage and provides reliable speed control throughout the operation, even if the voltages should fluctuate.
Extraordinary Power 400 Series operators feature a high-performance 180V DC motor, horsepower-rated for demanding commercial and industrial applications. Models are available with either 2 HP or 3 HP motors.
The 400 Series is available in four unique configurations:
- PULSE 400HD: Features high gearbox ratios (60:1, 80:1 or 100:1) Ideal for heavy-duty applications such as large springless folding, sectional or rolling steel doors.
- PULSE 400BD: Offers moderate gearbox ratios (40:1, 60:1 or 80:1) designed for large balanced rolling steel or sectional overhead doors.
Contact the iControls team so we can recommend the ideal motor and gearbox configuration for your specific application.
Smart Features and Easy Setup Like every commercial door opener in the PULSE lineup, the 400 is intuitive to program and quick to install. It includes soft-start and soft-stop functionality, reducing wear on both the door and the operator for smooth and quiet operation.
