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.
