High voltage is present in the 2000X Power Supply.
When setting up and operating the welding system, observe the potential hazards listed
below.
• Do not operate the Power Supply with the cover removed.
• To prevent the possibility of electric shock, always plug the 2000X into a grounded power source.
• Keep hands out from under the horn. Down-force (pressure) and ultrasonic vibrations can cause injury.
• Large plastic parts can vibrate within the audible frequency range when welded. If this occurs, use hear-
ing protectors to prevent possible injury.
• Do not press the Test switch or cycle the welding system if either the RF cable or the converter is dis-
connected. High voletage could be present at open power connections.
• When using larger horns, avoid situations in which fingers could be pinched between the horn and the
fixture.
• Assure power switch is in the OFF position before making or breaking any electrical or pneumatic con-
nections to the Power Supply, Actuator or Welder.
• Do not touch Ultrasonic Horn during or immediately following the welding cycle. Vibrations and heat can
burn skin.
Do not allow a vibrating horn to touch a metal base or metal fixture.
6.1 External Communication Options
6.1.1 Remote Networking
This is a standard feature, and will facilitate remote control of an ultrasonic welding system.
For the remote application to work, two pieces of software are required; a VNC Viewer and a VNC Server.
The VNC Server is pre-installed on the system power supply’s compact flash memory. The VNC Viewer is
installed on the PC that will be connecting to the power supply. In order for the two pieces of software to
work with each other, the VNC Server needs to have an IP address assigned to it, so it will know what to
listen for. The VNC Viewer must have the same address in order to send the appropriate request to the
Server.
It is recommended to set a static IP address in the VNC Server configurations.
The IP addresses are usually assigned by the router the power supply is connected to or, it is set by the
Network Administrator.
A “Free Edition” of the VNC Viewer can be downloaded from: http://realvnc.com/download.html
