Maintenance And Troubleshooting - Emerson Branson LPX Instruction Manual

7.1

Maintenance and Troubleshooting

The LPX Power Supply is a self-contained system that requires no internal servicing,
except for a protective fuse, and there are no user serviceable parts inside the unit. The
ultrasonic tooling (horns and tips) may require periodic inspection and maintenance to
ensure optimum performance. The tooling components are subject to wear and may
require replacement after a period of time, depending on the application.
If you have a problem operating your unit, refer to
symptom that most clearly describes your problem.
Tip Erosion
Horn tips do wear. The rate of wear depends on the material being welded, and the
amount of use.
NOTICE
The frequency of operation is very sensitive to the weight of the tip. If the weight of the
tip is outside specified limits, the power supply can overload.
General Cleaning
It is good practice to keep your LPX Power Supply clean and free of contamination.
1. Unplug the power cord, the RF cable, and the User I/O cable
2. Use a damp soft cloth with a mild detergent to remove any contamination on the outside of the
unit
CAUTION
3. Care should be taken so that excessive force is not exerted on the membrane/keypad area
4. Reconnect cables and replug power cord when dry
