Chapter 1: Safety and Support
General Precautions

circuit reference, not chassis ground. Therefore, use only non-grounded, battery-powered 
multimeters when testing these modules. Using other types of test equipment can present a 
shock hazard.

• Be sure power is disconnected from the power supply before setting a DIP switch.

• Keep hands from under the horn. Down force (pressure) and ultrasonic vibrations can cause 

injury.

• Do not cycle the welding system if either the RF cable or converter is disconnected.

• When using larger horns, avoid situations where fingers could be pinched between the horn 

and the fixture.

• Be aware that the actuator is "armed" if the pressure indicator light on the front panel is on.

• Be aware that the actuator is "armed" if air pressure is indicated by the pressure indicator on 

the actuator front panel and/or the air pressure gauge in the remote box.

• In normal operation, bearing seals will retain an adequate amount of grease for safe bearing 

operation. Bearing can leak but contains enough grease for the life of the bearing. Removing 
and running without grease will void the warranty. For more information contact product sup-
port.

NOTE

i

i

Sound level and frequency of the noise emitted during the ultrasonic assembly 
process may depend upon a. type of application, b. size, shape and composition 
of the material being assembled, c. shape and material of the holding fixture, d. 
welder setup parameters and e. tool design. Some parts vibrate at an audible fre-
quency during the process. Some or all of these factors may result in an uncom-
fortable noise being emitted during the process. In such cases operators may 
need to be provided with personal protective equipment. See 29 CFR (Code of 
Federal Regulations) 1910.95 Occupational Noise Exposure.
