STARTING UP THE POWER SUPPLY

Press the red POWER button to turn the power supply on. The POWER

button will light up. The yellow RESET button will also come on and will

remain lit.

INITIAL OPERATION

After the power supply is turned on (as described above), follow these steps:

1. Make sure that all necessary preparations have been made with regard to

the ultrasonic system and tooling, and that the items to be welded are in

position.

2. Before pressing the RESET button, make sure the press head actuation

(cycle start) signals are not activated (or closed). Then, press the RESET

button to activate power supply operation.

3. Press the TEST button. While depressing the TEST button, check the

LED Load Meter reading to make sure that it does not exceed 20%.

a) If the meter reading is above 20%, contact Sonics immediately for further

instructions before proceeding.

b) If the meter reading is below 20%, you can proceed with operation.

During the testing process, keep in mind that the ultrasonics are only

activated as long as the TEST button is depressed – once you release the

TEST button, ultrasonics is terminated.

4. The power supply is now in ready mode.

NOTE: The TEST and

Load Meter check

should always be done

for all cold start-ups,

and for any start-up

after the system has

been idle for 20 minutes

or more.
