System Cleaning Instructions
The generator and converter may be cleaned using an acid-free cleaning solution (i.e. glass
cleaner).
Probes should be cleaned using isopropyl alcohol. Probes are made from titanium and can be
autoclaved (the converter is an electrical part and cannot be sterilized in this manner). Before
each procedure place the probe tip in water or alcohol and turn the power on for a few seconds
to remove residue. The tip also can be sterilized using alcohol with the power on.
9. Troubleshooting
Your Ultrasonic Processor was designed to provide you with years of safe and dependable
service. Nevertheless, because of component failure or improper usage, the possibility does
exist that it might not perform as it should, shut down or stop working all together. The most
probable causes for malfunction are listed below and should be investigated.
•
A connector or cable is damaged.
•
The unit was plugged into an electrical outlet that provides a different voltage from that
required. See
Electrical Requirements.
•
The microtip is not tightened properly with the wrenches provided.
•
The convertor and/or microtip has been dropped.
•
A microtip being operated is damaged or worn past its useful life.
•
A fuse(s) has failed. If a fuse(s) has failed, proceed as follows:
1. Turn the unit off by depressing the OFF key, and disconnect the line cord from the
electrical outlet.
2. Open the fuse holder cover using a small screwdriver, and pull out the red fuse
holder from its housing.
3. Replace the fuse(s).
4. Reconnect the line cord to the electrical outlet, press the ON key and set the
amplitude to 100. With the probe in air (out of the sample), the wattmeter should read
below 10 watts. If the reading exceeds 10 watts, press the OFF key, and disconnect
the probe from the converter.
5. Press the ON key. If the wattmeter reads below 10 watts, the probe has failed or is
out of tune due to excessive erosion, and should be replaced, if the wattmeter reads
above 20 watts, either the converter or power supply has failed and the complete
Ultrasonic Processor should be returned for repair.
OVERLOAD CONDITION
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, then press the
OFF
key
to switch the unit off, and the
ON
key to switch the unit back on.
If the problem persists after inspecting all of these, please contact Customer Service for
additional assistance or to replace a worn microtip or damaged part.
