Description
The AMETEK DNC-T2032-A10 is a specialized digital pulse controller board, commonly referred to as a “Sequencer” or “Program Control Board.” It is primarily engineered for the control of solenoid valves in pulse-jet dust collector systems. This board provides the precise timing required to pulse air through filter bags to remove dust buildup, ensuring optimal airflow and efficiency in industrial filtration systems.
- Input Voltage: 105–135V AC, 50/60 Hz
- Output Voltage: Matches input voltage (standard AC pulse)
- Pulse Time (ON): Adjustable from 50 ms to 500 ms
- Interval Time (OFF): Adjustable from 1 second to 180 seconds
- Number of Channels: Up to 32 output positions (expandable depending on configuration)
- Operating Temperature: -40°C to +65°C (-40°F to +150°F)
- Enclosure Rating: Typically used in NEMA 4 or NEMA 4X rated enclosures

Application Fields
This control board is widely utilized in environmental control and material handling industries, specifically for:
- Dust Collection Systems: Controlling the cleaning cycle for baghouses and cartridge filters.
- Pneumatic Conveying: Sequencing air pulses for material transport and hopper discharge.
- Industrial Vacuum Systems: Managing the filter-cleaning logic for heavy-duty vacuum units.
- Cement & Mining: Operating in high-vibration environments to manage air-jet cleaning of filtration units.
Product Instructions
- Mounting: Secure the board inside a protective, weather-tight enclosure using the pre-drilled mounting holes. Ensure the board is grounded to the metal chassis.
- Wiring Layout: Connect the AC supply to the “Line” and “Neutral” terminals. Connect each solenoid valve lead to the corresponding output terminals (1 through 32).
- Timing Adjustment: Use the onboard potentiometers or digital buttons to set the Pulse Time (how long the valve stays open) and the Interval Time (the pause between different valves firing).
- Mode Selection: For “On-Demand” cleaning, connect a differential pressure switch to the “Remote Start/Stop” terminals. The board will only cycle when the pressure drop across the filters exceeds the setpoint.
- Safety Check: Verify that all output voltages match the solenoid coil ratings before powering on the unit to prevent coil burnout.
Q&A – Common Questions
Q1: What happens if an output channel is short-circuited? A1: The DNC-T2032-A10 typically features an onboard fuse or current-limiting protection. If a short occurs at the solenoid, the fuse will blow to protect the logic circuitry of the board.
Q2: Can I skip unused channels if I only have 10 valves connected? A2: Yes. Most AMETEK sequencers allow you to set the “Last Active Channel” via a jumper or digital setting, so the board resets to channel 1 immediately after the 10th pulse.
Q3: Is this board compatible with DC solenoid valves? A3: The A10 model is designed for AC input and AC output. If your system uses DC solenoids, you would typically require the “D” suffix model (e.g., DNC-T2032-D10) or an external power conversion relay.
