Troubleshooting
7-8
Digital Compact
CAUTION!
By all means, avoid tilting of the component and uneven surfaces.
This might result in overall malfunction due to uneven mating sur-
faces!
6. Move the component two or three times in the same direction to lap
it on the emery (please refer to Fig. 7-2).
7. Rotate the component by 120 , hold your thumb over the blind hole
and repeat lapping as described above (step 6).
8. Again, rotate the component by 120 , hold your thumb over the
blind hole and repeat lapping as described above (step 6).
9. Again, inspect the mating surfaces. If required, repeat lapping pro-
cess as described above (step 3 to 8) until most of the deposit is
removed.
NOTE!
In case of boosters or horns of aluminium this process should not
require more than two or three full rotations. In case of a compo-
nent of titanium more than three rotations might be required.
If the deposit is then not removed, send the horn, or booster
respectively, to BRANSON Ultrasonics.
10.Please observe the following information before you use the horn
stud or a horn of aluminium again:
-
Clean the knurled end of the horn stud using a wire brush or a
cardboard edge to remove aluminium residue.
-
Clean the threaded hole using a clean cloth and compressed air.
-
Check the knurled end of the horn stud. Replace the stud in
case it is worn. Also, check stud and threaded hole for damage
to the threads.
CAUTION!
Horn studs cannot be re-used in case of horns or boosters of tita-
nium. In this case replace all studs.
11.Re-assemble the acoustic stack and install it.
