Transportation Transportation Transportation instructions on the packaging must be observed. Unpacking/receiving inspection The shipping container used for our devices withstands the normal wear and tear of road, rail and air transportation. After receiving the consignment, check whether all the parts conform to the packing list and look for any visible signs of damage.
Controls and indicators Controls and indicators Hand held welding device Trigger switch This activates the ultrasonic vibrations. Do not touch horn ! Horn Never alter a tuned horn mechani- cally. This can result in damage to the vibration system und genera- tor.
Controls and indicators Ultrasonic Generator RL35 Generator module handle If necessary, you can pull out the generator module by holding these grips. The fastening screws (33) for opening the generator modu- le are located above and below the grip bars. The generator module is never to be pulled out or plugged in while mains is connected.

Elements Elements Converter The converter is a sensitive instrument. Please handle with great care! The converter (K) is the core of every ultrasonic welder. It belongs to the category of piezo-electric converters. Piezoelectric converters consist of several ceramic disks that change their size when an electric voltage is applied.
Elements Horn Any changes to the metallic body of the horn will affect its vibration characteristics and should not be performed without consulting the manufacturer! The horn (3) is the tool that transfers the ultrasonic energy produced by the converter to the welding object in the form of an intensive vibration.
Page 35
Elements to immense mechanical loads. It is extremely important, therefore, to design the horn in such a way as to enable the plastic part to be joined under optimal conditions. The horn surface may have a coating for abrasive plastics for longer service life.
Retooling Retooling Changing horn It is important to ensure that the mains switch on the generator has been switched off before unplug- ging the HF cable! 1. Separate the horn (3) with spanners (G/S). Never put the two parts in a vice or similar tool! 2.
Retooling Detailed description of functions from the program selector switch Ultrasonic devices are used in a wide range of fields today, so that users have a variety of different control requirements. A welding in- stallation needs to be able to be connected to the available peripheral devices.

Retooling 8.2.2 Afterpulse (shake-off impulse) The afterpulse can be activated with a jumper on the main circuit board. The afterimpulse occurs 0.3 seconds after the holding time has expired. ”Hardware test program” jumper (only for use by the manu- facturer) ”US afterpulse”...
Cleaning and maintenance Cleaning and maintenance General maintenance jobs Cleaning and maintenance jobs may only be carried out by specially trained staff. Before beginning maintenance jobs, make sure that all energy sources such as the power and compres- sed air supply are disconnected. Attention: Never clean the keypad or plastic sheeting of the generator with caustic agents.
Cleaning and maintenance Vibration system Work may only be carried out on the vibration system and converter housing when the mains voltage is switched off! High voltage! Avoid contact with the RF socket of the converter. Never connect any measuring in- struments to the RF socket of the converter! The converter is electrically char-...
