5.5.6 Interconnect between Power Supply and Actuator
The Branson 2000Xc Actuator has two electrical connections between the power supply
and the actuator: the RF cable and the actuator interface cable. A 37-pin actuator
interface cable is used for power and control signaling between the power supply and
actuator. The cable connects to the rear of the power supply and the rear of the actuator.
There can be other connections to the actuator, and other connections to the power
supply, but these are the only two standard connections, depicted in Figure 5.9.
For ground detect use, to have ultrasonic energy turn off when the horn comes in contact
with your electrically isolated fixture or anvil, it is necessary to install Branson cable EDP
No. 100-246-630 from the MPS/GDS receptacle on the rear of the actuator to your
isolated fixture/anvil in order to utilize this feature.
