1.1 Safety Considerations
CAUTION
j The following safety considerations should be observed when operating the
Digital Sonifier®:
• Make sure that the equipment is properly grounded. DO NOT operate if it is not.
• The unit is equipped with a three-conductor cord and three-prong grounding-type plug,
and must be plugged into a three-prong grounding-type wall receptacle. DO NOT under
any circumstances remove the power cord ground prong.
• DO NOT operate the equipment with the cover removed. High voltage is present within
the equipment when connected to plant wiring.
• DO NOT turn on the ultrasonics without the converter and horn attached.
• DO NOT touch the horn or tip when ultrasonics are active. When handling, removing, or
attaching a horn or tip, be sure that the ON/OFF switch is set to OFF. Touching the horn
or tip while the unit is on can result in serious personal injury.
• DO NOT allow the horn or microtip to contact lab stands, beakers, or similar objects.
Horn/microtip failure may result.
• DO NOT operate the equipment at more than 70% amplitude when using a microtip
horn.
• Establish a standard of operation and test equipment periodically.
