>> Power Meter
There is a power meter on the page ‘main’ to monitor the ultrasonic power consumed by the
system. The pointer inside will move up and down according to the power reading. The upper
the pointer, the higher of the power is consuming.
During idle, this pointer should stay low as the system is not consuming significant power at this
time. When the machine start to cut, the pointer will be floating somewhere in the middle to
reflect the power consumption using for the cutting. Power consumption is depending on the
power setting, the cutter force and the fabric thickness, therefore, the pointer will float to
different height from time to time.
Always pay attention to this meter during operation. An ultrasonic problem can be spotted
earlier if the level of the pointer is located higher than the normal position compares with the
past.
