3. To increase or decrease the amplitude in small increments when the ultrasonics is on,
depress the AMPL to display Amplitude Setting on the screen, then depress the ▲ or ▼
key, as required. Since the amplitude required is application dependent and subject to the
volume and composition of the sample, it is recommended that the amplitude be selected
through experimentation, by increasing or decreasing the level of intensity as needed to
properly process the sample to achieve desired results.
4. Be sure to use the fittings provided, for the top of the Converter, for air cooling if necessary.
Circulate clean dry compressed air through the Converter to cool the Converter during use.
See manual addendum for more information.
TIMER:
In the pulsed mode, the processing time will be different from the elapsed time because
the processing time function monitors and controls only the ON portion of the duty cycle. For
example, for 30 minute processing time, the elapsed time will be 1 hour if the ON and OFF
pulse cycle is set for 10 seconds on and 10 seconds off.
1. To set the processing time, press the TIMER key.
The screen will display:
2. Using the numeric keys, set the processing time as required, for example:
3. Press the ENTER/REVIEW key. The screen will display:
PULSER
: Ultrasonics generates heat. Pulsing ultrasonics on and off helps to prevent heat
build-up in temperature sensitive samples. In addition, pulsing may enhance processing by
allowing the material to settle back under the probe after each burst. The ON and OFF pulse
duration can be set independently from 01 second to 59 seconds. During the OFF portion of the
cycle, the red indicator on the PULSE key will illuminate. If the OFF portion of the cycle exceeds
three seconds, a cautionary message - Sonics in OFF Cycle - will warn the operator against
touching the ultrasonic probe.
1. To set the pulser, press PULSE key.
