Start-up Sequence
After all connections have been completed.
1. Push the Power Switch to ON (Figure 4-2).
The generator performs a self-diagnostics sequence.
2. The Power-up screen appears briey - Figure 4-3.
3. The next screen is an Operate screen ready for a
new weld to be done. The display shows:
The setup used for the last weld, and zeros for any
weld parameters.
See Figure 4-3A.

Starting a Weld Cycle
1. If the generator is not powered, press its Power
Switch/Circuit Breaker to the ON position.
2. Select the setup you want to use, if appropriate.
3. Apply the probe tip to the components to be
ultrasonically joined, and press the hand probe’s
trigger switch to activate ultrasound.
4. After meeting the weld parameters (and with the Hold
time set to zero) - in either Manual, Time or Energy
modes - an internal alarm beeps once after the weld
setting is met, or after the trigger switch is released.
Depending on optional customer OUTPUTS
connections - System Outputs, Page 14 - external
audible or visual alerts can be activated as well.
5. Release the probe’s activation switch (trigger), and
if appropriate, apply pressure while an optional Hold
time elapses. The generator signals when that period
is over by sounding an audible alert.
The user can release the activation switch during the
Hold time, but there will not be an audible beep until
the preset Hold time ends.

Stopping a Weld Cycle
1. Release the hand probe’s activation switch (trigger)
to abort a weld cycle and stop ultrasound.
2. In addition, press the generator’s Power Switch/
Circuit Breaker to the OFF position to power down
the generator.
NOTE
The system will not beep as described
here if the Audible Alarm is OFF.
See Hardware Settings, Page 27 to learn
how to turn the Alarm ON or OFF.
