FRONT PANEL CONTROLS
Located on the front panel of the power supply are the following controls:
1. Red POWER button which turns the unit on and off.
2. Yellow RESET button which resets the power supply following an overload
condition. If an overload condition exists, the button lights up. In addition,
the RESET button must be depressed after the unit is first turned on
before any operation can proceed.
3. Green TEST button which can be used to test ultrasonic operation
(pressing it only manually activates the ultrasonics).
4. OUTPUT CONTROL DIAL which controls fine adjustment of the ampli-
tude of the system’s high-frequency vibrations over the full operating range.
(Major adjustments of amplitude are made through the use of different
boosters – consult your press manual for further information.)
5. LED LOAD METER which indicates the level of ultrasonics that is being
transmitted to the welding press.

The RESET button is a
built-in safety feature. When
the power supply is
connected to a press, be
sure the press head
actuation signals are not
activated (or closed). If they
are activated, the press
head will descend
immediately when the
RESET button is
depressed.
