Microtip Amplitude Setting Limits
When working with a microtip, do not operate the equipment beyond the maximum amplitude
limits listed below.
Ignoring this caution will void the tip warranty.

OPERATION
START UP:
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 percentage of amplitude that was previously selected.
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. (
Pressing the
AMPL key and the ▲ or ▼ key for a reading of 40% and then pressing the ENTER/REVIEW
key, will also achieve the same result
.)
Note: The minimum amplitude setting is 20%.
The screen will display:
WARNING
1. Immerse the probe approximately halfway into the sample. If the probe is immersed to an
insufficient depth, air will be injected into the sample causing the sample to foam. Also
ensure that the probe tip is not touching the wall of the sample vessel.
2. The Ultrasonic Processor is now ready for continuous operation. To energize the
ultrasonics, press the START key or the footswitch. To de-energize the ultrasonics, press
the STOP key or release the footswitch. If the Time or Pulse functions must be used, refer
to the appropriate paragraphs below.
Note
: The START key and footswitch are mutually exclusive. If the process is initiated by
the START key, the footswitch becomes inoperative. If the process is initiated by the
footswitch, the STOP key becomes inoperative.
