2. WARNINGS
Please read the manual in its entirety. Necessary instruction and guidance are provided to help
ensure the successful operation of this device. Observe the following:
High voltage is present in the power supply, converter and high frequency cable. There are no user-serviceable
parts inside any of these devices. Do NOT attempt to remove the power supply cover or converter case.
Do NOT touch any open cable connections on the unit while the power is turned ON.
Do NOT operate power supply with converter disconnected from high voltage cable. High voltage is present in
the cable and may pose a shock hazard.
Do NOT attempt to disconnect the converter high voltage cable while the unit is running.
The power supply must be properly grounded with a 3-prong plug. Test electrical outlet for proper grounding
prior to plugging in unit.
Install the ultrasonic power supply in an area free from excessive dust, dirt, explosive or corrosive fumes and
protected from extremes in temperature and humidity. (See page 5 for specifications.) Do not place the power
supply within a Fume Hood.
Hearing protection is highly recommended. It is recommended that a sound abating enclosure or ear protection
be used when operating the Ultrasonic Processor
NEVER immerse the converter in liquids of any kind, or let condensed moisture or liquid drip into the converter.
NEVER grasp an activated probe or touch the tip of a vibrating probe. It can cause severe burns and tissue
damage.
NEVER allow a horn/probe to vibrate in air.
NEVER hold or clamp the converter by the front driver or by the probe itself. This can cause permanent damage
to the system. Support the converter by only clamping around the converter housing (upper portion).
Do NOT allow the tip of a vibrating horn or probe to touch the counter top or any other hard surface. It could
damage the probe, overload the power supply, or damage the surface.
Avoid touching the bottom or sides of a sample vessel with an activated probe. It may crack or shatter the glass
or melt the plastic. Use glassware that is free from cracks or chips.
Turn OFF the power switch, unplug the power supply and disconnect the power cord from the back of the power
supply before attempting to replace the fuses.
Inspect high frequency cable for cracks in the protective outer jacket.
Do not operate unit with a damaged cable. Doing so may cause serious injury.
In case of AC power loss, wait 3 minutes minimum before reapplying power.
Do not turn off Main power switch while running a probe. Stop ultrasonic processing only by using the
START/STOP key
