FRONT PANEL CONTROLS AND INDICATORS
Located on the front panel of the power supply are the following controls and
indicators:
1. ON/OFF keys which turn the unit on and off.
2. LCD SCREEN which displays various settings, parameters and prompts
as detailed in the following pages. In addition, during the weld process it
displays a load meter indicator showing the power level of ultrasonics that
is being delivered to the welding press (see #3 below).
3. LOAD METER SCALE from 0 to 100% which (in conjunction with
vertical line indicators on LCD display) shows the running power (bar
graph at bottom of display) and peak power (single vertical line at top of
display) during the weld. Peak power is reported as %Pmax after the cycle
(see page 18).
4. AMPLITUDE key which controls adjustment of the following amplitude
settings of the system’s high-frequency vibrations over the full operating
range. (Major adjustments of amplitude can be made through the use of
different boosters – consult your press manual for further information.)
a. Amplitude Setting
b. Amplitude Ramp (only on systems configured for more than 2200
watts)
5. FN key. Option not available on this model.
