RFI Grounding

In addition to the safety considerations previously men-
tioned, proper grounding at the generator power cord is
essential for the effective suppression of electrical noise
or RFI (Radio Frequency Interference). Every ultrason-
ic generator contains a RFI filter which blocks noise on
the AC power line from entering the system control cir-
cuitry. This filter also prevents ultrasonic frequency noise
from being fed back into the AC power line. In order for
the RFI filter to operate properly, it is necessary to cor-
rectly ground the system. Run a grounding wire from the
grounding stud connection to the nearest grounded met-
al pipe or equivalent earth ground, and secure it with a
ground clamp.
See Figure 3-6 on Page 20.

CAUTION

To m i n i m i z e e l e c t r i -
cal noise and eliminate
ground currents, ground
the chassis as shown. Use
a STAR configuration (il-
lustrated below). Do not
DAISY CHAIN the grounds.
