Power Output Loss
There are several conditions that can cause a decrease in or loss of power output,
including:
• Operating with a faulty power supply or poor electrical connection
• Operating with a loose horn-converter connection
• Operating with a cracked or corroded horn/tip assembly
If your unit indicates a decrease in power output, first check the Converter Cable
connections, then take the following steps to ensure that the horn/tip assembly is not
loose or cracked or corroded.
Fretting corrosion refers to a black, crusty build-up, resulting from friction between metal
parts that appears on the mating metal surfaces. Corrosion can reduce or alter system
performance. Examine all mating surfaces (tip to converter, tip to horn) and wipe the
surfaces clean with a clean cloth or paper towel.
