Dukane Ultrasonic Generator 403-575-00 - Manual (Page 13)

Proper Installation - Operate system components only
after they are properly installed.
No Unauthorized Modifications - Do not modify your
system in any way unless authorized to do so by Dukane
Corporation. Unauthorized modifications could cause
equipment damage and/or injury to the operator. In ad-
dition, unauthorized modifications will void equipment
warranty.
Keep the Cover On - Do not remove any equipment
cover unless directed to do so by Dukane Corporation. The
generator produces hazardous electrical voltages which
could cause injury.
Grounded Electrical Power - Operate this equipment
only with a grounded electrical connection.
See Electrical Safety for grounding instructions, Page 9.
Comply with Regulations - You may be required to add
accessories to bring the system into compliance with
applicable regulations (OSHA in the USA) for machine
guarding and noise exposure.
Use Eye Protection - Wear ANSI approved safety impact
goggles.
Acoustic Stack Hazard - When an acoustic stack (trans-
ducer, booster, horn and tip) is energized by the ultrasound
signal, it presents a potential hazard. Stay clear of an
energized stack.
System Abort Switch - Install a system abort switch at
each operator station when ultrasonic plastic assembly
equipment is used with automatic material handling equip-
ment in an automated system.
Foot Switch - Using a foot switch in place of the optical
touch finger switches (activation switches) violates OSHA
regulations.
NOTE
These recommendations apply to the
welding system. System in this manual
refers to a complete group of components
associated with the welding of parts, also
known as an ultrasonic assembly system.
A typical iQ Series System consists of
the iQ generator, a press with thruster,
switches, controls, cables, transducer,
booster, horn, and fixture, and iQ Explorer
software .

Dukane Service Dept. personnel.
Before doing so, disconnect the
unit electrically from the incoming line AC
power. If the unit is a press/thruster, lock the
Air Lockout Valve, located on the rear panel,
in its closed position.
