Safety Reminder - Qsonica MICROSON XL 2000 Operator's Manual

S A F E T Y R E M I N D E R
Safety precautions regarding the operation and handling of high voltage equipment is
prominently indicated in the instruction manual. This letter serves as a safety reminder to the
operator to visually and physically inspect the unit to insure optimum and safe performance.
This inspection should be scheduled as a routine maintenance procedure, and done with the
Ultrasonic Liquid Processor in the OFF position with the unit unplugged from the AC power
source.
Long exposure to acids or caustics results in corroding metal parts or components. Check the
rear of the generator, convertor, and cables for any signs of rust or discoloration. If discoloration
is found, move the Ultrasonic Liquid Processor away from the source of the contaminant.
Examine the condition of the high voltage cable, which attaches the convertor to the power
supply. Inspect the wire insulation for damage, such as burning from hot plate contact, or wear
or breakage from extended use or rough handling.
Inspect the cable connectors by gently pulling on the wire while holding the body of the
connector. The cable connector and rubber boot protector at the end of the cable should be
tight to the wire, with no movement possible and no cracks or frayed ends visible. Do not
subject the cable ends to severe bending loads while performing these tests. Return the
convertor assembly immediately if your cable does not pass the above inspection.
Should the convertor/cable assembly be subjected to misuse, such as dropping or a severe
pulling force on the wire itself, the cable must be inspected as above.
Should the Ultrasonic Liquid Processor stop functioning, shut the unit off and inspect cable as
above BEFORE any other action is taken.
DO NOT USE A CABLE WITH BROKEN END CONNECTIONS, EXPOSED WIRES OR FRAYED
INSULATION. HIGH VOLTAGE IS PRESENT IN CABLE AND MAY POSE A SHOCK HAZARD. DO
NOT TOUCH CONVERTOR ASSEMBLY UNTIL POWER SWITCH OF GENERATOR IS IN OFF
POSITION AND UNIT IS UNPLUGGED.
If the operator is in doubt as to the condition of the unit, call 800-694-9612 to speak with a
customer representative for prompt attention.
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.
