Your new Ultrasonic Liquid Processor has been designed, built and tested to assure maximum operator
safety. However, no design can completely protect against improper use that may lead to bodily injury
and/or property damage. For total safety and equipment protection, read the instruction manual carefully
before attempting to operate this equipment. Observe the following
WARNINGS
:
High voltage is present in the generator (power supply), converter and high frequency cable. There are no user-
serviceable parts inside any of these devices. Do NOT attempt to remove the generator cover or converter case.
Do NOT touch any open cable connections on the unit while the power is turned ON.
Do NOT operate generator with converter disconnected from high voltage cable. High voltage is present in the
cable and may pose a shock hazard.
Do NOT attempt to disconnect the converter high voltage cable while the unit is running.
The generator must be properly grounded with a 3-prong plug. Test electrical outlet for proper grounding before
plugging in unit.
Install the ultrasonic processor in an area free from excessive dust, dirt, explosive or corrosive fumes and
protected from extremes in temperature and humidity. Do not place the Generator within a Fume Hood.
Hearing protection is highly recommended. It is recommended that a sound abating enclosure or ear protection
be used when operating the Ultrasonic Processor
NEVER immerse the converter in liquids of any kind, or let condensed moisture or liquid drip into the converter.
NEVER grasp an activated horn or touch the tip of a vibrating probe. It can cause severe burns and tissue
damage.
NEVER allow a microtip to vibrate in air for more than 10 seconds.
NEVER hold or clamp the converter by the front driver or by the horn itself. This can cause permanent damage
to the system. Support the converter by only clamping around the converter housing (upper portion).
If needed air cool the convertor with dry compressed air.
Do NOT allow the tip of a vibrating horn or probe to touch the counter top or any other hard surface. It could
damage the probe, overload the generator, or damage the surface.
Avoid touching the bottom or sides of a glass or plastic container with an activated probe. It could crack or
shatter the glass or melt the plastic.
Turn OFF the power switch, unplug the generator and disconnect the power cord from the back of the generator
before attempting to replace the fuses.
Inspect high frequency cable for cracks in the protective outer jacket.
Do not operate unit with a damaged cable. Doing so may cause serious injury.
In case of AC power loss, wait 3 minutes minimum before reapplying power.
Do not turn off AC mains power while running a horn. Stop sonication through the touch screen prior to removing
