Notes on the installation location
During operation the generator will become very hot.
To ensure that the generator can dissipate this heat well, the generator must be fitted with the fan facing
downward. If the generator is to be fitted horizontally, it must be assembled with the cooling profile at the top. Ensure that there
is sufficient space for air circulation.
If the generator cannot dissipate this heat sufficiently, after a short time it will display an error message signalling that the
temperature is too high (also refer to the "TEMPERATURE LIMIT REACHED" error description).
In addition, ambient temperatures of over 30°C should be avoided at the installation site.
Choose a suitable location that will protect the device from moisture, water, excessive sunlight and heat.
IMPORTANT: • Choose a location that will prevent steam or any other aggressive vapours from penetrating the
device.
• Long-term exposure to chemically contaminated ambient air can result in irreparable damage to
the device.
Power supply
The ultrasonic generator is supplied with alternating voltage of 230 V / 50 / 60 Hz via an external cable, which is connected
using a plug.
It is equipped with an internal main fuse (10 AF).
If you need to change the fuses, unscrew the cover of the housing.
IMPORTANT: • For safety reasons always disconnect the mains cable before replacing the fuse.
• Only connect the generator to earthed mains sockets.
• Only replace blown fuses with new fuses of the same type.
• This should only be performed by qualified and skilled personnel.

INTERFACE DESCRIPTION
1.) The "+15 Volt Out" signal DSUB pin 1
A voltage of 15V is available at this output. This voltage can be loaded with max. 100
mA and can, for example, be used to output a voltage for the "HF-DA" and/or "Error" functions.
This voltage can also be used to switch on the generator on the "FS-24 V" input.
2.) The "POUT" signal DSUB PIN 2
A voltage proportional to the power output of between 0 and 10 V
(= 0 – 100 % power output) is available at this output.
Reference point = "GND"
3.) The "P-EXT.-IN" signal DSUB PIN 3
By applying a voltage of between 5 V and 10 V, the power output of the generator can be set to between 50% and 100% of its
nominal amplitude or power output. To activate this function, open the Settings menu (password 6354)
and select the "external voltage" setting under "Ctrl Assignment".
Reference point = "GND"
4.) The "HF-DA ERROR" signal DSUB PIN 5/9
Shared output/input or root for the internal relay "HF-DA" and "ERROR"
(these pins are internally connected).
5.) The "HF-DA" signal DSUB PIN 6
If the ultrasonic generator has been switched on by one of the signals "FS-24 V", "FS-GND" or by using the test button
on the front panel or the external control console and is emitting HF voltage (i.e. there is no malfunction), an internal
floating relay contact is closed (between pin 6 and pin 5/9).
The "root" of this relay contact leads through to pin 5/9 (these pins are connected internally) of the DSUB socket.
This relay contact can now be queried by an external control system. It is, of course, possible to switch through a
voltage connected to pin 5/9 (max. load 24 VDC/100 mA).
It is particularly useful to query this contact if a timer operation is being executed and the generator switches off automatically
when the time has elapsed. The contact can also be set to the opposite polarity in the "I/O polarities" item of the Settings menu.
Factory default settings: Contact closed when generator emits HF voltage.
6.) The "Error" signal DSUB PIN 7
This is the output of an internal relay (root to pin 5/9).
This relay reports generator malfunctions. This means that if the generator is switched on and the power output does not
correspond to the set level for some reason, this relay is activated.
Factory default settings: Closed in the event of a malfunction. The polarity can be changed in the Settings menu under
"I/O Polarities“ ("Error detect"). An external voltage connected to "HF-DA-Error" can, of course,
also be switched through here (max. load 24 VDC / 100 mA).
7.) The "FAN – ON" signal DSUB PIN 12
At this output, a control voltage of 12V is available for monitoring the fan function when the internal fan is running.

8.) The "FS-24 Volt" signal DSUB PIN 13
Activation of the generator (ultrasound on) by the supply of 15 - 24 V between PIN 13 and GND (PIN 4/15)
9.) The "FS-GND" signal DSUB PIN 14
Activation of the generator (ultrasound on) with a relay contact or switch by connecting PIN 14 on the DSUB socket
to GND (PIN 4/15).
10.) The "<> Nominal" signal DSUB PIN 11
Open Collector output: high signal if a window function is activated and the generator is operated outside the
set window, low signal if a window function is activated and the generator is operated inside the set window.
11.) The "GND" signal DSUB PIN 4, 15
The GND signal is available on multiple pins of the DSUB socket.
It is the common reference point for all input and output signals.

Administrator Settings menu and are then no longer displayed in the menu).
If "Weld by Remote", "Weld by Time" or "Weld by Pulse" are set, the current power output is
shown on the display in watts. When the device is switched off, the maximum power output
reached is saved until the next time the device is switched on.
If "Weld by Energy" is set, the power output is shown on the display in watt-seconds together
with the required time. When the device is switched off, the peak power output is saved until
the next time the device is switched on.
If "Weld by Peak Power" is set, the maximum power output is shown in watts on the display
together with the required time. When the device is switched off, the maximum power output
reached is saved until the next time the device is switched on.
Frequency display
The display shows the frequency of the generator, in this example of a 40 kHz generator.
Trigger
A delay time of up to 9.99 seconds can be entered here before the actual welding operation
starts. Usage: If the welding sonotrode is installed in a press, for example, the time which the
sonotrode requires to reach the workpiece can be set here.
The delay time is set by pressing the encoder. The delay time can be set by turning the encoder.
The selected delay time is confirmed by pressing the encoder again. In the "off" position this

5 different welding modes
Five different welding modes can be selected via the "Welding" menu item (the welding modes can
be deactivated in the Administrator Settings menu and then no longer appear in the menu). If only the
Remote Mode is enabled and P-Window and T-Window are not, the "Welding Screen" is omitted
completely, as no settings can be made.
Weld by Remote
If the generator is set to "Weld by Remote", welding is carried out for as long as the test button
is pressed or if one of the remote control inputs is active. If a delay time was set in the Trigger
menu, the welding operation does not start until the set time has elapsed. If you release the test
button or deactivate the remote control input before the set trigger time has elapsed, the error
message "Cycle not completed" appears on the display and the red Error LED lights up. If
Remote Mode is selected, the generator ends the welding mode with an inactive remote signal,
and then switches to Holding and After Burst, if enabled. If the remote input or the test button
are activated during After Burst, the generator switches once more to welding mode without
deactivating the output signal.
Welding mode is set by pressing the encoder. The required values can be set by turning.
Pressing the encoder again confirms the selected values. If you then turn the encoder to the
right, the "T-Window" and "P-Window" sub-menus are opened (provided they have not been
deactivated in the Administrator Settings menu).
If you turn the encoder to the left, you exit the sub-menus again.
This welding mode can be deactivated in the Administrator Settings menu and then no longer
appears in the menu. If only one welding mode is enabled, the "Weld by …" screen is omitted.

Functions in the Administrator Settings menu
This Administrator Settings menu is only for qualified service personnel. Faulty settings in this
menu can irreparably damage the generator or the connected transducer system. The password
is only issued to registered administrators and is available from our service contact number.
Adjusting the starting frequency
The resonant frequency of the connected system must be known. Generally a starting frequency
which is approximately 500 Hz above the resonant frequency of the connected system produces
good results. The capture range of the generator is 2 kHz.
In special cases, however, it can also be necessary to set the starting frequency closer to the
resonance of the transducer system. Under no circumstances should the starting frequency be
set so that it is below the resonant frequency of the connected transducer system! The starting
frequency can be changed by pressing and then turning the encoder. The area which is covered
depends on the device type. The capture range of the generator can be limited with the stop
frequency.
Configure
Various menu items from the operator menu can be activated and deactivated with the Configure
menu item.
If "YES" is selected in "Configure Trigger", the Trigger function is active in the operator menu
(delay before welding). If "NO" is selected, this function is inactive and does not appear.
If "YES" is selected in "Configure Holding", the Holding function is active in the Operator menu
(wait time after welding). If "NO" is selected, this function is inactive and does not appear.
If "YES" is selected in "Configure After Burst", the After Burst function is active in the Operator
menu (energy for cleaning the sonotrode). If "NO" is selected, this function is inactive and does
not appear.
With the "Configure RF Output" function, you can switch the output on the interface between the
RF Output Signal ("YES") and the Control Output Signal ("NO"). When the RF output is set, the
interface output is only active when ultrasound is active. When the control output is set, the
interface output is only active during the Trigger Welding and Holding phases.
