Generator Connectors
J1 - Ultrasound Output Connector
The ultrasound output connector used with all stan-
dard generators is a high voltage (5000V) coaxial style
SHV-BNC connector. This connector provides supe-
rior shielding of electrical noise, compared to other
types of connectors. The ultrasound output connector
mates with fully shielded coaxial ultrasound cables
that are secured with a simple and reliable quarter-turn
bayonet style attachment mechanism.
J2 - System Inputs Connector
The
SYSTEM INPUTS
connector includes connec-
tions for all of the basic system control input signals
that will typically come from an automated control
system. The cable attached to this connector includes
all of the available system control signals, which will
be controlled by an output card or output port on the
automation controller.
The user can determine which signals to use for each
particular welding application, but there must be at
least one connection to this connector in order to
activate the ultrasound output.
J3 - System Outputs Connector
The
SYSTEM OUTPUTS
connector includes con-
nections for all of the basic system status and monitor
output signals, which will typically connect to an
automated control system. The cable attached to this
connector includes all of the available system output
signals, which will be read or monitored by a digital
input card or analog inputs on the user-supplied au-
tomation controller.
The user can determine which signals are appropriate
for each welding application
.

Ultrasound Output Connector
The ultrasonic output from
this connector (that drives the
attached ultrasonic load) is a
very high AC voltage (1200VAC). At high
power levels this can exceed 2 amperes of
current and must be securely terminated
via the ultrasound cable for safe operation.
Use original equipment ultrasound cables
for safe and reliable system operation. Im-
properly assembled ultrasound cables can
result in high voltage arcing and will destroy
the ultrasound connectors.
Do not use your generator if there is any
evidence of arcing (black carbon deposits)
on either the ultrasound output connector or
the ultrasound cable connectors.
