DPC System Test
To test the DPC II Plus system’s ultrasound signal
delivery, perform the following steps.
1. For the initial test, the generator must be ON
LINE . Refer to step 5 on the previous page.
2. Position the probe so that its horn is not in con-
tact with anything. Do not hold the probe if you
are not accustomed to ultrasonic welding. The
initial ultrasonic sensation may surprise you and
cause you to drop the probe. Momentarily press
the generator control
TEST key (G in Figure
11–2). The following conditions should occur.
3. One green segment of the System Power Out-
put bar display will light up indicating normal
operation (H in Figure 11–2.)
4. The ON LINE status indicator goes blank. This
indicates the ultrasonic probe is activated. The
probe should operate without any unusual
noise. The probe will operate as long as the
TEST key is pressed.

NOTE
Neither a press system, automation system,
hand probe or TEST key can trigger the gen-
erator to produce an ultrasound output if the
DPC II Plus is OFF LINE.
The Front Panel Control Lock (Pin No. 15 on
the HD–15 System Input connector) will dis-
able the TEST key from producing an output.
Refer to Section 5, Table 5—I.
The F P Control Lock will also inhibit any pro-
gramming changes. The menu navigation will
function normally, but data entry is inhibited.
