SECTION 4. SONIC RUPTOR 400 OPERATION

4.1 CONTROL PANEL

The control panel of the Sonic Ruptor 400 (see picture below) consists of 3 knobs and a
"RUN" and "STOP" button.
The user can adjust three different homogenization
settings with this interface; Power, Time & Pulse.
Turning the control knobs to the right increases the
levels of these settings.
4.2 START UP OF THE
EQUIPMENT
Turn the Sonic Ruptor 400 on by
pressing the ON/OFF switch located
on the rear panel near the AC power
input. A Power LED on the front of
the panel will glow to indicate the
instrument is on.

4.3 POWER OUTPUT

The Power Output LED Meter indicates the percent of ultrasonic power being generated by
the Processing Tip. The power output is adjusted by turning the Power knob to the right or
left. The ten-segment LED Power Output Meter reflects the level of the power being
delivered to the Processing Tip.
CAUTION: When using the Micro Processing Tip (catalog number OR-T-156), the
ultrasonic power should not exceed 50%. Operating the Intermediate Processing Tip above
50% can render the tip inoperable and/or cause the radiating surface of the tip to pit,
dramatically reducing the life of the tip.
CAUTION: When using the Intermediate Processing Tip (catalog number OR-T-375), the
ultrasonic power should not exceed 80%. Operating the Intermediate Processing Tip above
80% can render the tip inoperable and/or cause the radiating surface of the tip to pit,
dramatically reducing the life of the tip.
