Control Keys
AMP
Set the ultrasound amplitude output level in the range of
20 to 100%.
Typically amplitude is set to 100%.
TIME
Use this key to select time as the primary method of
welding. Set the weld time (seconds).
ENERGY
Use this key to select energy as the primary method of
welding. Set the weld energy (joules).
HOLD
Hold is a time period beginning after the weld portion
of the cycle is complete. The operator holds the probe in
place applying pressure to the weld, and an audible alarm
indicates that the Hold time is finished. Hold can be set to
a maximum of 5.0 seconds.
ENTER
Press the ENTER key to select a menu item, and move to
the next level of the menu. Think of it as a “forward” key.
When pressed, it also confirms and stores a selection in

needed to monitor and program the system.
Power Bar Graph
The Power Bar Graph appears at the bottom of the
LCD display. It contains 20 segments that represent the
generator’s range of power from 0% at the far left of
the bar graph to 100% of power at the far right. Each
segment equals 5% of the total.
In the example below, 40% of the available power is used
during the weld cycle. The display shows an In Cycle
screen (while U/S is active).
