2. System Setup
2.1 Installation
2.1.1 Remove the RF Generator and all other Vante™ components from their
respective shipping cartons and visually inspect them for obvious damage.
Contact Vante™ if any damage is found.
2.1.2 Check to see that the power cord plug matches the power receptacle for the
country in which the system is being used. If it does not, contact Vante™.
CAUTION: Do not connect the power cord to AC mains at this time.
2.1.3 Follow the separate installation instructions provided with the unit for this
application.
2.1.4 Verify that all connections are correct before proceeding.
2.2 Adjustment and Operation
WARNING: Do NOT place fingers or any other objects near or between the
electrodes in the forming/welding head when the generator RF
power is on. Severe burns or damage to the electrodes can
occur!
2.2.1 Verify the AC power switch is in the “off” position and connect the AC
power cord to any nominal ac voltage in the 100 - 230 Vac range.
2.2.2 Turn the RF Generator on by toggling the rocker switch located on the back
of the unit. The power-on light will illuminate green, indicating that power is on.
The power-on light will be amber when RF energy is being produced. The fan in
the back of the Generator will begin to operate. The Generator requires no warm-
up period due to transistorized electronics design.
NOTE: Vante™ may recommend initial control settings for start-up purposes
only; however, the user is responsible for determining the proper
control settings for particular applications.
2.2.3 Set the control settings and air pressure to the appropriate level for the
desired application. RF dwell time should be no longer than necessary to make a
good seal or weld.
