INITIAL OPERATION

After the power supply is turned on (as described on previous page), 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. Press and hold the TEST button. While depressing the TEST button,

check the LCD display. Make sure the bar graph indicator on the LCD

display (a series of vertical lines that register to the 0 to 100% load meter

scale – see example below) does not exceed 20%.

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.

A bar graph indicator reading of above 20%, signals that there may be a

problem with the stack. Check your assembly and re-test.

3. The power supply is now ready for operation.

Frequency Display

The TEST key can also be used to display the running ultrasonic frequency.

Refer to page 23 for more information.

READY SCREENS

In addition to the start-up ready screen (shown on page 17), there are 2 other

“ready” screens. The system must be displaying one of the 3 ready screens

in order for welding to commence. Welding cannot be initiated from any

other display. The other 2 ready screens are as follows:

done for all cold

start-up after the

system has been idle

for 20 minutes or

more.
