SONIC DIGITAL HS - Ultrasonic Generators Never operate the device in areas where moisture could penetrate the device. The platform for the device must be sufficiently stable, as severe damage could result if the device is jolted or dropped. Ensure that the power supply specifications given on the device are met. Only converters with the correct frequency, power output and dimensions may be used with this generator.

SONIC DIGITAL HS - Ultrasonic Generators Notes on the installation location During operation the generator will become very hot. To ensure that the generator can dissipate this heat well, the generator must be fitted with the fan facing downward. If the generator is to be fitted horizontally, it must be assembled with the cooling profile at the top. Ensure that there is sufficient space for air circulation.
Converter negative connection: Shield of the BNC socket Converter positive connection: Inner conductor of the BNC socket Use only the specially provided connection cable from Weber Ultrasonics to connect the converter! ATTENTION: • Only use cables specified by the manufacturer.

SONIC DIGITAL HS - Ultrasonic Generators INTERFACE DESCRIPTION 1.) The "+15 Volt Out" signal DSUB pin 1 A voltage of 15V is available at this output. This voltage can be loaded with max. 100 mA and can, for example, be used to output a voltage for the "HF-DA" and/or "Error" functions. This voltage can also be used to switch on the generator on the "FS-24 V"...

SONIC DIGITAL HS - Ultrasonic Generators TEST BUTTON Here are three configuration options for the test button on the front plate: PUSH Generator is switched on when the test button is pushed and switched off when the button is released. TOGGLE Generator is switched on when the test button is pushed.
SONIC DIGITAL HS - Ultrasonic Generators Functions in the Administrator Settings menu This Administrator Settings menu is only for qualified service personnel. Faulty settings in this menu can irreparably damage the generator or the connected transducer system. The password is only issued to registered administrators and is available from our service contact number. Adjusting the starting frequency The resonant frequency of the connected system must be known.

SONIC DIGITAL HS - Ultrasonic Generators Soft Amplitude With this menu item the soft start can be activated (enabled) or deactivated (disabled). Please read carefully! It is possible that a transducer system does not start up with the required amplitude (e.g. high contact pressure, high transducer system quality, etc.).

SONIC DIGITAL HS - Ultrasonic Generators Example 2: Before starting with the Softstart configuration, note the generator-specific factory settings that are displayed in the I-LIMITS menu item. I min = 50 corresponds to 50 % amplitude (same as factory default setting) I min = 100 corresponds to 100 % amplitude (same as factory default setting) I min to I max in this example are therefore 50 steps (I max –...
