FUNCTIONS OF KEYS, CONTROLS, INDICATIONS, AND CONNECTORS
1 On / Off / Tune Switch ON position - energizes the power supply.
OFF position - de-energizes the power supply.
TUNE position - energizes the power supply
momentarily for tuning purposes.
2 Pilot Light Illuminates when the power supply is energized.
3 Continuous / Pulsed * Sets the duty cycle to continuous or pulsed mode.
4 % Duty Cycle Selector * Sets the pulse rate when CONTINUOUS / PULSED
Switch is set to pulsed. Intermittent operation inhibits
heat build-up in the solution and provides more efficient
processing by allowing the material to settle back under
the probe tip after each burst.
5 Timer Sets the duration of ultrasonic application (up to 15
minutes). In the HOLD position, the timing mode is
uninhibited and the ultrasonic energy is applied
indefinitely.
6 Output Control
Controls the amplitude of vibration at the probe tip.
CAUTION
When using a microtip, never allow the Output control
to exceed MICROTIP LIMIT “5”.
7 Power Monitor Indicates the percentage of ultrasonic power delivered to
the probe.
8 3 Pin Connector Connects to the converter cable.
9 3 Pin Connector ** Connects to the converter cable (available only with 500
watt dual output units).
10 Tuning Control
Optimizes performance by matching the frequency of
the power supply to that of the converter / probe
assembly
11 Fuse Protects against electrical overload.
12 Electrical Line Cord Connects the power supply to t he electrical outlet.
* Available only with Ultrasonic Processors equipped with pulsers.
** Available only with dual output 500 watt Ultrasonic Processors.
