Troubleshooting 
 

Equipment Issue 

Resolution 

Ultrasonics is not turning on. 

Check that the AC power cord is connected to 
the wall outlet and to the power supply.  Check 
that the converter cable from the power supply 
to the enclosure is connected.  Check that the 
internal converter power cable is connected to 
the enclosure and the converter.  If problem 
persists, switch Off main power, wait 5 
seconds and switch back On. 

System makes high pitch or unusual noise 
when operated. 

Disconnect converter and booster from horn 
and clean all mating and threaded surfaces 
using isopropyl alcohol. Properly reassemble 
tightly using the appropriate wrenches. 

Power supply screen does not illuminate. 

Check that the AC power cord is connected to 
the wall outlet and to the power supply. Check 
Fuses. 

Display does not react to button press. 

Switch Off main power, wait 5 seconds and 
switch back On. 

Screen displays  OVERLOAD

Press the OFF key to switch the unit off, and 
the ON key to switch the unit back on to restart 
the equipment. If the problem persists, check 
for likely causes in the bulleted list below.  If 
the problem still persists, contact customer 
service (203)-426-0101. 

 
Your Sonicator is designed for many years of dependable service but on rare occasions 
a problem may occur.  Causes may include: 
 

x

  The system is overheating.  

x

  A connector or cable is damaged.  

 

x

  The probe/booster/converter not tightened properly with the wrenches provided.

 

x

  Sample 

vessel is too small for the 1.5  probe

. Use 5L vessel or larger.

 

x

  The convertor may have been dropped and damaged.

 

x

  A probe is worn out due to normal use and past its useful life.

 

x

  A fuse(s) has failed. 

 

x

  Sample liquid viscosity is too high.

 

 

If the Ultrasonic Processor stops working, and an 

OVERLOAD

 indication is displayed on 

the screen, check for possible causes as outlined in the above paragraph.   

 

Note:

  Most faults can be solved by cleaning all mating and threaded surfaces using 

isopropyl alcohol and properly re-assembling tightly together using the appropriate 
wrenches.  Follow the tightening procedure in the assembly instructions. 
 
If the problem persists after inspecting all of these options, please contact us for support.
