Unpacking
Carefully open your shipping container, and make sure it contains the items shown on the shipping documents. Inspect all items, and report any missing items or damage immediately.
Placing
Make certain generator placement and cable routing do not interfere with normal operation. Maintain easy access

The operator should have unobstructed access to cables and wiring.
RFI Grounding
Proper grounding for the generator chassis is essential for the effective suppression of electrical noise or RFI (Radio Frequency Interference). Every ultrasonic generator contains a RFI filter that blocks noise on the

NOTE
Chassis Grounding Stud
The chassis grounding stud is used to attach a protective earth ground to the generator. This will aid in the suppression of electrical interference or radio frequency interference (RFI) that is common in a industrial environment. Stud location is shown in Figure
CAUTION
If you have any questions about the grounding of your equipment and/or the electri- cal box, contact a qualified electrician.
