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.
