FUNCTIONS OF KEYS, CONTROLS, INDICATIONS, AND CONNECTORS
FRONT PANEL
POWER MONITOR (METER) Indicates the percentage of maximum available ultrasonic power
delivered to the probe.
300 watt unit: 100% = 300 watts, 50% = 150 watts.
375 watt unit: 100% = 375 watts, 50% = 187.5 watts.
600 watt unit*: 100% = 600 watts, 50% = 300 watts.
* When using two probes with the dual output unit, the power delivered
to each probe is half that displayed on the power monitor.
POWER SWITCH ON position – energizes the power supply.
OFF position – de-energizes the power supply.
Illuminates when the power supply is energized.
TUNE SWITCH
When depressed, allows the power supply to be tuned.
TIMER Sets the duration of ultrasonic application from .1 second to 999 hours.
The right hand push button selects the timing option as follows:
.S=tenth of seconds, S=seconds, .M=tenth of minutes, M= minutes
.H=tenth of hours, H=hours.
The other three push buttons select the timing increments
START BUTTON When depressed, energizes the ultrasonic.
RESET BUTTON When depressed, de-energizes the ultrasonic and resets the timer.
TUNER Optimizes performance by matching the frequency of the power supply
to that of the converter / probe assembly.
FOOTSWITCH CONNECTOR Connects to footswitch cable.
PULSER Applies the ultrasonic energy on a pulsed mode.
In the OFF position the ultrasonic is continuous.
In the ON position the ultrasonics is intermittent.
The % DUTY CYCLE SELECTOR sets the pulse rate.
Intermittent operation inhibits heat build-up in the liquid and provides
more efficient processing by allowing the material to settle back under
the probe tip after each burst.
OUTPUT CONTROL Controls the amplitude of vibration at the probe tip.
CAUTION
When using a microtip, never allow the OUTPUT CONTROL setting to
exceed MICROTIP LIMIT “5”.
REAR PANEL
3 PIN CONNECTOR (3) Connects to the converter cable(s).
FUSE(S)
Protects against electrical overload
ELECTRICAL LINE CORD
Connects the power supply to the electrical outlet.
