7.  Operating Instructions 

CAUTION

 

  Do not operate the power supply unless it is connected to the converter. 

  Never allow liquid to spill into the converter.    

  Do not allow a microtip to vibrate in air for more than 10 seconds.  

  Do not allow the vibrating microtip to contact anything but the sample. 

  Never place a washer between the probe and the converter. 

  Never apply grease to the mating surfaces or threads of the converter, probe or microtip. 

  Should it become necessary to remove a probe, use the wrenches supplied.

 

Never 

attempt to remove the probe by twisting the converter housing, as this may damage the 
electrical connections within the housing. 

 
 
 

Set-up: 

1.  Plug the electrical line cord into the electrical outlet. If the unit is already on, depress the 

OFF key. 

2.  If the optional foot switch is used, insert the plug into the jack located on the rear panel. 
3.  If the convertor and probe assembly is not already assembled; screw the probe onto the 

convertor and using the wrenches provided tighten it securely. (See instruction in 
Maintenance section for attaching and detaching microtips). 

4.  If using a laboratory stand, mount the convertor /probe assembly using a clamp.  Be sure to 

secure the clamp to the upper section of the convertor housing only.  Do not secure the 
clamp to any other portion of the convertor/probe assembly. 

5.  Connect the converter cable to the power supply. 

 

 

Operation: 

Press the ON key. The screen will display the power rating of the Ultrasonic Processor and the 
following control parameters. 

 

 

 

 
 
 
AMPLITUDE:

 Desired amplitude must be set in order for the Ultrasonic Processor to be 

operational. The other control parameters – Time and Pulse, do not have to be set for 
continuous operation.  AMPL displays the amplitude selected e.g. 40%. To set the amplitude at 
40% when the ultrasonics is off, press the AMPL key and the numeric keys for a 40% reading 
on the screen, and then press the ENTER/REVIEW key.   

Note: The minimum amplitude setting is 20%. 

 

The screen will display:
