PROGRAM SET UP
Set ON/OFF power switch to ON. The switch will illuminate and the screen will
display the power rating of the Ultrasonic Processor, cautionary notices, and the
following control parameters.
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 operatio n.
AMPL. displays the percentage of maximum of amplitude e.g. 75%, set by the
AMPLITUDE control.
Using the AMPLITUDE control, set the amplitude as required.
CAUTION – Do not
exceed 40% when using a microtip.
The screen will display:
The Ultrasonic Processor is now ready for continuous operation. To energize ultrasonics,
press the
START key or the footswitch. To de-energize ultrasonics, press the STOP key
or release the footswitch. If the Time, Temperature, Pulse, Save, or Recall functions must
be used, refer to the appropriate paragraph(s) below.
Immerse the probe approximately 2 inches (5cm) into the sample. If a microtip is used,
immerse the microtip approximately ½” (1cm) into the sample. If the probe is immersed
to an insufficient depth, air will be injected into the sample, causing the sample to foam.
Since the amplitude required is application dependent and subject to the volume and
composition of the sample, it is recommended that the amplitude be increased or
decreased as required as the samp le is being processed.
