SECTION 1 

 INSTALLATION 

 

INSPECTION 

 

Prior  to  installing  the  Ultrasonic  Processor,  perform  a  visual  inspection  to  detect  any 
evidence  of  damage,  which  might  have  occurred  during  shipment.  Before  disposing  of 
any packaging material, check it carefully for small items. 
 
The  equipment  was  thoroughly  inspected  and  carefully  packed  before  leaving  our 
factory. The carrier, upon acceptance of the shipment, assumed responsibility for its safe 
delivery. Claims for loss or damage sustained in transit must be submitted to the carrier.  
 
If  damage  has  occurred,  contact  your  carrier  within  48  hours  of  the  delivery  date.  DO 
NOT  OPERATE  DAMAGED  EQUIPMENT.  Retain  all  packing  materials  for  future 
shipment. 

 

ELECTRICAL REQUIREMENTS 

 

The  Ultrasonic  Processor  requires  a  fused,  single  phase  3-terminal  grounding  type 
electrical outlet capable of supplying 

230 +/- 10% VAC, 50/60 Hz, 20 amps.

 

 
If  the  desired  plug type is  different for  your  country  or  region  see  page 41 for  a  wiring 
diagram and consult an electrician.  

 

 
 

INSTALLING THE ULTRASONIC PROCESSOR 

 

The ultrasonic processor should be installed in an area that is free from excessive dust, 
dirt, explosive and corrosive fumes, and extremes of temperature and humidity.  If 
processing flammable liquids, use an approved fume hood and do not place the power 
supply in the fume hood.

  

 

Unit shall be placed on a flat clean level surface. The mounting feet shall not be 
removed from the bottom of the unit. The unit vents through the holes in the chassis 
located on the underside of the unit. Keep this area clear of debris and dust. 
 
When positioning the unit, be sure to leave adequate space behind the unit so that all 
connections can be easily disconnected.

  

Verify the fan on the rear of the unit is rotating 

and operational. 

 

WARNING 

For your personal safety, do not, under 

any circumstances, defeat the grounding 

feature of the power cord by removing the 

grounding prong.
