Page 9: Principles Of Operation
4. PRINCIPLES OF OPERATION The ultrasonic electronic generator transforms AC line power to a 20 KHz signal that drives a piezoelectric converter/transducer. This electrical signal is converted by the transducer to a mechanical vibration due to the characteristics of the internal piezoelectric crystals. The vibration is amplified and transmitted down the length of the microtip probe where the tip longitudinally expands and contracts. -

Page 12: Operating Instructions
WARNING For your personal safety, do not, under any circumstances, defeat the grounding feature of the power cord by removing the grounding prong. INSTALLING THE ULTRASONIC PROCESSOR The Ultrasonic Processor should be installed in an area that is free from excessive dust, dirt, explosive and corrosive fumes, and extremes of temperature and humidity. - Page 13 Operation: Continuous mode: 1. Ensure that the amplitude control knob is set to 0. 2. Set the convertor and probe assembly in a stand or hold the convertor in your hand. 3. Turn the unit on. 4. Immerse the microtip half way into the sample. If the probe is immersed to an insufficient depth, air will be injected into the sample, causing the sample to foam.

Page 15: Maintenance
9. Maintenance It is recommended to periodically inspect the unit, both visually and physically, to insure optimum and safe performance. This inspection should be scheduled as a routine maintenance procedure, done with the unit power OFF and with the unit unplugged from the AC power source. Long exposure to acids or caustics results in corrosion of metal parts or components. - Page 16 Follow the steps below for attaching and detaching microtip probes: Disconnect probe from convertor. Use the wrench set provided with the system. Clean threaded stud. Use alcohol and a cotton swab to remove any debris on the threading of the connecting stud. Allow the alcohol to dry completely. 3.

Page 17: Troubleshooting
System Cleaning Instructions The generator and converter may be cleaned using an acid-free cleaning solution (i.e. glass cleaner). Probes should be cleaned using isopropyl alcohol. Probes are made from titanium and can be autoclaved (the converter is an electrical part and cannot be sterilized in this manner). Before each procedure place the probe tip in water or alcohol and turn the power on for a few seconds to remove residue. -
