In general use, the cable assembly should not be used to carry the convertor or pull it toward the user. Make certain the cable always has slack and is never tensioned. Move the generator or convertor assembly closer to one another to accomplish this. If this is not possible, contact Qsonica to obtain a longer assembly.
SPECIFICATIONS Generator Dimensions: 33cm W x 19cm D x 17cm H (13" x 7.5" x 6.7") Weight: 4.2 kg (9.2 lb.) Input Voltage: 115 VAC nom. (switchable to 220 VAC nom.) 50/60 hz Full Load Current: 1.65 amps at 115v/ 0.8 amps at 220v Fuse Rating and Type: 3 amp/1.5 amp Fast acting Voltage Tolerance: +/- 10% nominal voltage Output Voltage/Frequency: 950 Vrms (maximum) 22.5 kc (nom)
I N S T A L L A T I O N WARNING! High voltage is present in the generator, convertor and high frequency cable. Do not attempt to remove the generator cover or convertor case. Do Not touch any open cable connections on the unit while the power is turned on. Power Requirements The generator requires a single phase, grounded, three-wire, 115V or 220V, 50/60 Hz source, unless otherwise fitted, and has a 3 amp fuse for 115V service or a 1.5 amp fuse for 220V...
Unpack the unit from its shipping carton and check the contents against the packing list. Before disposing of the packing material, check it carefully for small items. Report any missing components to Qsonica immediately. Visually inspect all external controls, indicators, and surfaces to detect any damage in transit. If damage has occurred, contact your carrier within 48 hours of delivery date.
O P E R A T I O N Principle of Ultrasonics The generator (power supply) converts conventional 50/60 Hz AC line power to 22.5 kHz electrical energy which is fed to the convertor where it is transformed to mechanical vibration.
Preparation for Use The Microson is easy to set-up. Simply attach one end of the convertor cable to the back of the generator. Plug one end of the power cord into the back of the unit and the other end into a three-pronged (grounded) wall outlet. Then make sure that the MICROPROBE is securely attached to the convertor.
