AMPLITUDE:
The amplitude is the only parameter that 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 when the ultrasonics is off,
press the AMPL key and the numeric keys for a 40% reading on the screen –
Ampl 40%, and the ENTER/REVIEW key.
The screen will display:
Time
- : --: --
Pulse
-- --
Ampl
40 %
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 paragraph(s) below.
To increase or decrease the amplitude in small increments when the ultrasonics is on,
depress the AMPL key to display Amplitude Setting on the screen, then depress the
▲
or
▼
key, as required.
NOTE
Any combination of functions can be selected in any order. To clear an erroneous
entry press the CLEAR key.
NOTE
If the
START
key is pressed and the time limit has not been set, processing will
remain uninterrupted until the
STOP
key is depressed.
If the
START
key is pressed and the time limit has been set, processing will
remain uninterrupted until the set time limit expires, or the
STOP
key is pressed –
whichever occurs first.
If a footswitch is used, and the time limit has not been set, processing will remain
uninterrupted as long as the footswitch is depressed.
If a footswitch is used, and the time limit has been set, processing will remain
uninterrupted until the time limit expires or the footswitch is released – whichever
occurs first.
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.
