5.1 OPERATION

An understanding of the operation of each component of the Omni Sonic Ruptor 400 is
important before applying the instrument to an application.
Transducer
The Transducer assembly may be hand held or mounted to a support stand (sold separately).
To test the Transducer, fill a small beaker half full of water. Turn the device on. The LED on
the front panel will light up. Immerse the Tip in the water approximately a centimeter. Turn
the Power Control Knob to a high range. Push the Start button. Intense cavitation will occur
in the water. No warm-up is required.
