advices
Repairs must only be carried out by authorised personnel.
Replace defective parts with SONOREX original parts only.
It is recommended to limit the repair of the units to the exchange of fuses, transistors, generator
PCB with base plate, the heater, transducers (without new bonding), as well as the timer. The parts
mentioned are supplied as replacement parts.
Information about electric components, connectors, cables, fuses can be found in the unit specific
enclosures.
In the case of measurements and adjustments, the oscillating systems must be connected with the
generator. Use an extension cable for this and take care that the blue lead is well insulated

-
Electrical plug connections between the base plate with generator PCB and case with oscillating
tub must be separated if necessary in accordance with the wiring diagram in appendix 3.
•
Remove the connectors from the timer (2 yellow and 1 brown + 1 blue wire in a silicon hose)
•
Remove both plugs for the heating (red wires), if necessary desolder power supply wire.
•
Remove both plugs for the HF wires to the oscillating elements (one blue and one red wire in
a silicon hose).
