Start Switch and E-Stop Connections The system requires two start switches and one emergency stop connection. The start switches and E-Stop switches need to be electrically isolated from each other to complete their circuit closure. Solid state switches may be used if the leakage current is less than 0.1mA.

Enclosure Mounting Considerations Depending on the weld cycle rate and total weld power used, the ultrasonic Power Supply and Auxiliary Box can generate a large amount of internal heat. Cooling and heat management need to be considered when selecting and designing an enclosure to house the Power Supply and Auxiliary Box.
Page 37
Heat loss generated by the Auxiliary Box and Power Supply Dynamic Loss - For the Power Supply, it is the internal heat generated in Watts during the ultrasonic on phase of a cycle. For the Auxiliary Box, the Dynamic Loss is the internal heat generated by the servo amplifier during the weld and hold phases of a cycle Static Loss - The quiescent power loss in Watts due to the normal operation of the system controller and other related circuits.
