Process Development
WARNING:
Keep fingers and other objects clear of the electrodes in the peripheral when
processing materials. Do not touch the coaxial connector connected to the sealing
head when RF energy is being applied. Severe burns, RF injuries, and/or crush
injuries may occur.
Do not use this system to seal tubing that contains flammable or other hazardous
materials.
CAUTION:
Improper use can severely damage the generator and/or sealing head.
Always keep fingers and other objects clear of the electrodes in the
forming/welding head to avoid damaging the electrodes.
NOTE:
Vante may recommend process settings for computer and manual controls;
however, users are responsible for determining the control settings that work best
for their application(s).
3.4.1.
Run an initial sealing cycle to establish baseline results.
3.4.2.
Use the internal controller (see section 3.3) to adjust the RF timing.
3.4.3.
Run a second cycle to determine how the settings changes affect the seal
quality.
3.4.4.
Continue to check and adjust until the settings produce the desired results.

System Adjustments
3.5.1.
To reset the arc and cycle counters, navigate to the configuration screen (see
3.2).
Cycle through the process parameters (pre-delay, EOS delay, and post delay)
until the LCD displays “CLEAR COUNTERS.”
Use the red and green buttons to select YES.
Press and hold both the green and red buttons to finish.
NOTE:
Clearing the counters resets both the arc and cycle counters to zero. There is no
way to recover this information after it is cleared.
3.5.2.
To change the password, navigate to the configuration screen (see 3.2 ).
Cycle through the process parameters (pre-delay, EOS delay, post delay, and
clear counters) until the LCD displays “CHANGE PASSWORD.”
Use the red and green buttons to select YES. Press and hold the green button.
The LCD screen changes to the password entry screen. See Figure 3.3.
