Ultrasound Output Connector (J1)
The ultrasound output connector used with all standard
generators is a high voltage (5000V) coaxial style
SHV-BNC connector. This connector provides superior
shielding of electrical noise, compared to other types
of connectors. The ultrasound output connector mates
with fully shielded coaxial ultrasound cables that are
secured with a simple and reliable quarter-turn bayonet
style attachment mechanism.
CAUTION
Ultrasound Output Connector
The ultrasound output connector used with
all standard generators is a high voltage
(5000V) coaxial style SHV-BNC connector.
This connector provides superior shield-
ing of electrical noise, compared to other
types of connectors. The ultrasound output
connector mates with fully shielded coaxial
ultrasound cables that are secured with a
simple and reliable quarter-turn bayonet
style attachment mechanism.
The ultrasonic output from this connector
(that drives the attached ultrasonic load) is
a very high AC voltage. At high power levels
this can exceed 4 amps of current and must
be securely terminated via the ultrasound
cable for safe operation. Use original equip-
ment ultrasound cables for safe and reliable
system operation. Improperly assembled
ultrasound cables can result in high volt-
age arcing and will destroy the ultrasound
connectors.
Do not use the generator if there is any
evidence arcing (black carbon deposits) on
either the ultrasound output connector or the
ultrasonic cable connectors.
