Control Keys | Continued |
AMP
Set the ultrasound amplitude output level in the range of 20 to 100%.
Typically amplitude is set to 100%.
TIME
Use this key to select time as the primary method of welding. Set the weld time (seconds).
ENERGY
Use this key to select energy as the primary method of welding. Set the weld energy (joules).
HOLD
Hold is a time period beginning after the weld portion of the cycle is complete. The operator holds the probe in place applying pressure to the weld, and an audible alarm indicates that the Hold time is finished. Hold can be set to a maximum of 5.0 seconds.
ENTER
Press the ENTER key to select a menu item, and move to the next level of the menu. Think of it as a “forward” key. When pressed, it also confirms and stores a selection in memory. It is also used to reset a latched condition.
Arrow Keys
Press the right and left arrow keys to move the cursor to the right or left.
+and - Keys
Press these keys to increase or decrease the value of a selected digit.
CANCEL
Press CANCEL to return to the previous screen. Think of it as a “back” key. Press this key when you do not want to store the selection in memory.

Power Bar Graph
The Power Bar Graph appears at the bottom of the LCD display. It contains 20 segments that represent the generator’s range of power from 0% at the far left of the bar graph to 100% of power at the far right. Each segment equals 5% of the total.
In the example below, 40% of the available power is used during the weld cycle. The display shows an In Cycle screen (while U/S is active).

CAUTION
Make sure the stack is prop- erly assembled before it is connected to the system. The horn should never come in direct contact with a metal fix- ture or anvil when ultrasound is activated.
