Page 2: Warranty
WARRANTY Your Ultrasonic Atomizer is warranted and backed by the manufacturer for a period of three years from the date of shipment against defects in material and workmanship under normal use as described in this instruction manual. During the warranty period, the manufacturer will, at its option, as the exclusive remedy, either repair or replace without charge for material and labor, the part(s) which prove to be defective, provided the unit is returned to us properly packed with all transportation charges prepaid. -
Page 3: Important Safeguards
IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS READ BEFORE INSTALLING OR USING THE EQUIPMENT Your Ultrasonic Atomizer has been designed with safety in mind. However, no design can completely protect against improper usage, which may result in bodily injury and/or property damage. For your protection and equipment safeguard, observe the following warnings at all times, read the operating instructions carefully before operating the equipment, and retain this instruction manual for future reference. -
Page 4: General Information
GENERAL INFORMATION The ultrasonic power supply converts 50/60 Hz line voltage to high frequency electrical energy at 20 kHz or 40 kHz (20,000 or 40,000 cycles per seconds), depending on the model. This high frequency electrical energy is transmitted to the piezoelectric transducer within the converter, where it is changed to mechanical vibrations. -
Page 5: Section 1 - Installation
SECTION 1 – INSTALLATION INSPECTION Prior to installing the atomizer, perform a visual inspection to detect any evidence of damage, which might have occurred during shipment. Before disposing of any packaging material, check it carefully for small items. It was carefully packed and thoroughly inspected before leaving our factory. The carrier, upon acceptance of the shipment, assumed responsibility for its safe delivery. -
Page 6: Installing The Atomizer
CAUTION Operating the equipment with voltages different from those specified, or with voltages with high power transients, will cause components within the power supply to fail. INSTALLING THE ATOMIZER The atomizer should be installed in an area that is free from excessive dust, dirt, explosive and corrosive fumes, and extremes of temperature and humidity. -

Page 9: Preparation For Use
PREPARATION FOR USE CAUTION Do not operate an atomizer that has been in a very cold or hot environment for a prolonged period of time. Wait until it has reached room temperature. Plug the electrical line cord into the electrical outlet, if the unit is already on; depress key. -
Page 10: Section Iii - Operating Suggestions
SECTION III – OPERATING SUGGESTIONS It is recommended that plastic tubing chemically compatible with the liquid to be atomized be used to connect the liquid delivery system to the converter. Because soft tubing can easily expand and contract, making it difficult to accurately control the flow of the liquid in critical applications, tubing elasticity should be given consideration, in intermittent applications where the flow will be rapidly interrupted. - Page 11 Do not operate the probe when the ambient temperature or temperature of the liquid exceeds 158°F (70° C).
- Page 12 SECTION IV – USING THE ULTRASONIC ATOMIZER CAUTION • Do not operate the ultrasonic power supply unless it is connected to the converter • High voltage is present in the power supply – do not operate with the cover removed. AMPLITUDE: Desired amplitude must be set in order for the atomizer to be operational.
- Page 13 Turn the liquid delivery system on. NOTE For the majority of atomizing applications, low amplitude will atomize the sample better than high amplitude. To energize the ultrasonics, press the START key. To de-energize the ultrasonics, press the STOP key. To increase or decrease the amplitude in small increments when the ultrasonics is on, depress the ENTER/REVIEW key repeatedly until the screen displays AMPLITUDE CONTROL, then...

Page 14: Section Iv - Service Information
SECTION IV – SERVICE INFORMATION OVERLOAD CONDITION Your atomizer was designed to provide you with years of safe and dependable service. Nevertheless, because of component failure or improper usage, the possibility does exist that it might not perform as it should, shut down due to an overload condition or that it will stop working all together. -
Page 15: Return Of Equipment
RETURN OF EQUIPMENT It is suggested that an atomizer in need of repair be sent back to the factory. In order to receive prompt service; always contact the factory before returning any instrument. Include date of purchase, model number and serial number. For instruments not covered by the 3-year warranty, a purchase order should be forwarded to avoid unnecessary delay.
