6. Preparation for Use (Getting Started)
INSPECTION
Prior to installing the Ultrasonic Processor, perform a visual inspection to detect any evidence of
damage, which might have occurred during shipment. Before disposing of any packaging
material, check it carefully for small items.
The Ultrasonic Processor was carefully packed and thoroughly inspected before leaving our
factory. The carrier, upon acceptance of the shipment, assumed responsibility for its safe
delivery. Claims for loss or damage sustained in transit must be submitted to the carrier.
If damage has occurred, contact your carrier within 48 hours of the delivery date. DO NOT
OPERATE DAMAGED EQUIPMENT. Retain all packing materials for future shipment.
ELECTRICAL REQUIREMENTS
The Ultrasonic Processor requires a fused, single phrase 3-terminal grounding type electrical
outlet capable of supplying 50/60 Hz at 100 volts, 115 volts, 220 volts, or 240 volts, depending
on the voltage option selected. For power requirements, check the label on the back of the unit.
Should it become necessary to convert the unit for different voltage operation, proceed as
follows.
1. Ensure that the power cord is not connected to the electrical outlet.
2. Open the fuse holder cover using a small screwdriver.
3. Pull out the red fuse holder from its housing.
4. To convert from 100/115V to 220/240V replace the two 3 Amp slow blow fuses, with 1.6
Amp fuses.
5. To convert from 220/240V to 100/115V reverse the procedure above.
6. Rotate the fuse holder 180º from its original position, and reinsert it into its housing. For
100/115V operation the voltage displayed should be 115. For 220/240V operation the
voltage display should be 220.
7. Change the electrical power cord as required.
INSTALLING THE ULTRASONIC PROCESSOR
The Ultrasonic Processor should be installed in an area that is free from excessive dust, dirt,
explosive and corrosive fumes, and extremes of temperature and humidity. If processing
flammable liquids use an approved fume hood and do not place the power supply in the fume
hood.
When positioning the unit, be sure to leave adequate space behind the unit so that all
connections can be easily disconnected.
WARNING
For your personal safety, do not, under any
circumstances, defeat the grounding feature of the
power cord by removing the grounding prong.
