8. OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
8.1. CAUTION
Do not operate the power supply unless it is connected to the converter.
Do not allow the vibrating probe to contact any object.
Never place a washer between the probe and the converter.
Never apply grease to the mating surfaces or threads of the converter or probe.
Should it become necessary to remove a probe, use the wrenches supplied.
Never attempt
to remove the probe by twisting the converter housing, as this may damage the electrical
connections within the housing.
Note:
The temperature of the converter front area (where the probe/horn attaches) should never
exceed
60
o
C (140
o
F)
. If this temperature is reached, shut the system off and allow to cool.
8.2. SETUP
1. Plug the electrical line cord into the electrical outlet. If the unit is already on, as indicated if
the display lights up, depress the
O
key.
2. If the optional foot switch is used, insert the plug into the jack located on the rear panel.
3. Probes must be properly tightened. If the converter and probe assembly is not already
assembled; screw the probe onto the converter and using the wrenches provided and
tighten securely. Check the tightness of an already assembled probe by using the wrench
set. Please refer to images in the Maintenance section of this manual for tightening
instructions. A loose probe may cause damage to the power supply circuitry or parts of the
converter and probe. Always use the wrenches supplied with the unit.
4. Connect the converter cable to the power supply.
