1.2.1 Intended Use of the System
The 2000Xc Power Supply and components are designed to be used as part of an
ultrasonic welding system. These are designed for a wide variety of welding or processing
applications.
If the equipment is used in a manner not specified by Branson, the protection provided by
the equipment may be impaired.
Branson Ultrasonics Corporation designs and manufactures machines giving the first
priority to safety precautions, to allow customers to use the machines safely and
effectively. Only trained operators should run and service the equipment. Untrained
operators can misuse the equipment or ignore safety instructions that can result in
personal injury or equipment damage. It is most essential that all operators and service
personnel pay attention to safety instructions when operating and servicing the
equipment.
1.2.2 Emissions
Because of the various types of toxic or injurious gases that may be liberated during the
welding based on the material being processed, sufficient ventilation should be provided
to prevent a concentration of these gases in excess of 0.1 ppm. Check with your materials
suppliers for recommended protection when processing their materials.
1.2.3 Setting up the Workplace
Measures for setting up a workplace for safe operation of the ultrasonic welder are
outlined in Chapter 5: Installation and Setup
1.2.4 Regulatory Compliance
This product meets electrical safety requirements and EMC (Electromagnetic Compliance)
requirements for North America and the European Union.
CAUTION
Processing of many materials, such as PVC, can be hazardous to an
operator’s health and could cause corrosion/damage to the
equipment. Use proper ventilation and take protective measures.
