SONIC DIGITAL ULC - Ultrasonic <strong>generators</strong><br />
Notes on the installation location<br />
During operation the generator will get very hot.<br />
If the generator cannot dissipate this heat sufficiently, it will display an error message due<br />
to excess temperature (see also the “OVER TEMPERATURE” error description).<br />
In addition, ambient temperatures of over 30°C should be avoided.<br />
Choose a suitable location that will protect the device from moisture, water, excessive sunlight and heat.<br />
ATTENTION: • Choose a location that will prevent steam or any other aggressive vapours<br />
from penetrating the device.<br />
Power supply<br />
6<br />
• Over a period of time, chemically contaminated ambient air can lead to<br />
the device being irreparably damaged.<br />
The <strong>ultrasonic</strong> generator draws its power ( 30 V and 0 / 60 Hz) via the connection cable.<br />
It has an internal main fuse (10 AF).<br />
If you need to change the fuses, unscrew the top of the housing.<br />
ATTENTION: • For safety reasons, always disconnect the unit from the mains be<strong>for</strong>e changing fuses.<br />
• Plug racks into earthed sockets only.<br />
• Always replace blown fuses with new fuses of the same type.<br />
• This should only be per<strong>for</strong>med by qualified, skilled personnel.<br />

Connections on the back of the generator<br />
Converter negative connection: Shield of the BNC socket<br />
Converter positive connection: Inner conductor of the BNC socket<br />
ATTENTION: • When the converter is connected via a BNC cable, a safe PE conductor connection with a cable with<br />
a sufficient cross-section (min 1.5 mm 2 ) must also be established between the generator and the<br />
converter. There is a PE terminal on the back of the generator <strong>for</strong> connecting this PE conductor.<br />
7<br />
• Only use cables specified by the manufacturer. Use only shielded transducer connection cables.<br />
Connect the shielding to the PE conductor on the generator side. Only use cables with sufficient<br />
cross-section. Minimum cross-section: 1.5 mm 2 .<br />

ATTENTION: A shielded control cable must always be used <strong>for</strong> the interface.<br />
Interface Description<br />
1.) Signal “+15 Volt Out” DSUB PIN 1<br />
A voltage of 1 V is available at this output. This voltage can be loaded with max. 100 mA and can,<br />
<strong>for</strong> example, be used to output a voltage <strong>for</strong> the function “HF-DA” and/or “Error”.<br />
This voltage can also be used to switch on the generator on the input “FS- 4 V”.<br />
2.) Signal “POUT” DSUB PIN 2<br />
At this output a voltage proportional to the power output of between 0 and 10 V<br />
(= 0 – 100 % power output) is available.<br />
Reference point = “GND”.<br />
3.) Signal “P-EXT.-IN” DSUB PIN 3<br />
By connecting a voltage between V and 10 V, the output of the generator can be set to<br />
between 0 % and 100 % of its nominal amplitude or power. To activate this function,<br />
go to the Settings menu (password 63 4) and select the “external voltage” setting under “Pwr.src”.<br />
Reference point = “GND”.<br />
www.weber-<strong>ultrasonic</strong>s.com
SONIC DIGITAL ULC - Ultrasonic <strong>generators</strong><br />
4.) Signal “HF-DA ERROR” DSUB PIN 5/9<br />
Shared in/output <strong>for</strong> the internal relays “HF-DA” and “ERROR” (these PINs are connected internally).<br />
5.) Signal “HF-DA” DSUB PIN 6<br />
If the <strong>ultrasonic</strong> generator has been switched on via either of the signals “FS- 4 V”, “FS-GND”<br />
or with the test button on the front panel and is emitting HF voltage (i.e. there is no malfunction),<br />
an internal floating relay contact is closed. (between PIN 6 und PIN /9)<br />
The “root” of this relay contact leads through to a PIN /9 (these pins are connected internally)<br />
in the DSUB socket. This relay contact can now be queried by an external control system.<br />
A voltage connected to Pin /9 can, of course, also be switched through (max. 4 VDC / 100 mA).<br />
It is useful to query this contact when a timer operation is being carried out and the generator switches<br />
off automatically when the time is up (normally closed contact default setting). The contact can also be<br />
switched over to reverse polarity in the Settings menu.<br />
Standard factory setting: Contact closed when the generator outputs HF voltage.<br />
6.) Signal “Error” DSUB PIN 7<br />
This is the output of an internal relay (root to PIN /9).<br />
This relay reports generator malfunctions. This means that if the generator is switched on and,<br />
<strong>for</strong> some reason, the power output does not correspond to the set level, this relay is activated.<br />
Factory default settings: Closed in the event of a malfunction. It is possible to change the polarity<br />
in the Settings menu under the heading I/O Polarities (“Error detect”).<br />
An external voltage connected to “HF-DA-Error” can, of course, also be<br />
switched through here (max. 4 VDC / 100 mA).<br />
7.) Signal “FAN-ON” DSUB PIN 12<br />
At this output, there is a control voltage (1 Volt) <strong>for</strong> monitoring the fan function when the internal fan is running.<br />
8.) Signal “FS-24 Volt” DSUB PIN 13<br />
Switching on the generator (Ultrasound On) by connecting a voltage between 1 – 4 Volt<br />
between PIN 13 and GND (PIN 4/1 ).<br />
9.) Signal “FS-GND” DSUB PIN 14<br />
Switching on the generator (ultrasound ON) with a relay contact or switch by connecting<br />
PIN 14 on the DSUB socket to GND (PIN 4 /1 ).<br />
10.) Signal “ Nominal” DSUB PIN 11<br />
Open Collector output: high signal if a window function is active and the generator<br />
is operated outside the window set; low signal if a window function is active and<br />
the generator is operated within the window set.<br />
11.) Signal “GND” DSUB PIN 4, 15<br />
The GND signal is available on multiple pins of the DSUB socket.<br />
It is the common reference point <strong>for</strong> all input and output signals.<br />

The LCD display<br />
Various screens and functions are available in the LCD display:<br />
1. Start screen<br />
On the top left is the frequency in Hertz, in the centre the amplitude set<br />
in percent (adjustable between 0 % and 100 %), and on the right the last<br />
power output in watts. In the bar graph, the last power output in percent<br />
is also shown in diagram <strong>for</strong>m.<br />
2. Starting frequency<br />
The display shows the starting frequency of the generator, in this example<br />
of a 40 kHz generator.<br />
3. Power output indicator in “Watts”<br />
The current power output is displayed. After switching off the device,<br />
the maximum power output reached is saved until the next time the<br />
device is switched on.<br />
4. Amplitude setting<br />
Here, the “Select” encoder can be used to set the desired power output<br />
to between 0 % and 100 % of the nominal generator amplitude.<br />
The desired amplitude is set by pressing and then turning the encoder.<br />
Pressing the encoder again applies the selected amplitude.<br />
5. P-Window function<br />
Here, the “Select” encoder can be used to set a window.<br />
If the power output is shown within this window, there is a low signal at<br />
the Nominal output (DSUB PIN 11) on the interface (see also interface description).<br />
If the power output is outside this window, there is a high signal at the Nominal<br />
output (DSUB PIN 11) on the interface (see also interface description).<br />
If the power output is outside the window, the Nominal LED lights up on<br />
the control panel, or the AUX1 LED lights up on the hand-held operating device.<br />
The desired window is set by pressing the encoder. The minimum and maximum values<br />
of the window can be set by turning the encoder.<br />
Pressing the encoder again applies the selected values.<br />
6. Timer function<br />
A time of up to 10 seconds can be set by pressing the encoder. This time starts running<br />
when the generator is switched on, either via the interface or the test button. No error<br />
message is displayed when the time expires. When the generator is switched on using<br />
the test button and the time expires, the generator switches off and remains in this state<br />
until it is switched on again. The end of the expired time can be determined via the interface<br />
by requesting the “HF-DA” signal. If an “OFF” time is also set, the generator switches on<br />
and off continuously.<br />
7. T-Window function<br />
Here, the “Select” encoder can be used to set a window. If the operating time is shown<br />
within this window, there is a low signal at the Nominal output (DSUB PIN 11) on<br />
the interface (see also interface description). If the operating time is shown outside<br />
this window, there is a high signal at the Nominal output (DSUB PIN 11) on the interface<br />
(see also interface description). If the operating time is outside the window,<br />
the Nominal LED lights up on the operating panel or the AUX1 LED lights up on<br />
the hand-held operating device.<br />
The desired window is set by pressing the encoder. The minimum and maximum<br />
values of the window can be set by turning the encoder.<br />
Pressing the encoder again applies the selected values.<br />

8. Power welding function<br />
Here, the “Select” encoder can be used to set a value in watt-seconds.<br />
When the power set is reached, the welding procedure ends.<br />
Attention: the welding procedure ends after a maximum of 10 seconds,<br />
even if the power set has not been reached.<br />
9. Counter<br />
This counts how often the welding procedure has been started.<br />
This counter can be reset by the operator.<br />
10. Adjusting the starting frequency<br />
Here, the “Select” encoder can be used to adjust the starting frequency.<br />
Depending on the generator‘s basic starting frequency, the starting<br />
frequency can be adjusted by approximately 1. kHz to kHz.<br />
11. Contrast setting<br />
The contrast of the LCD display can be adjusted by pressing and turning the encoder.<br />
Pressing the encoder again applies the set value. Set the contrast in such a way that<br />
the LCD display can be easily read.<br />
12. Display backlight<br />
The display‘s backlight can be turned on and off by pressing and turning the encoder.<br />
For optimum readability, we recommend turning the backlight on.<br />
13. Settings<br />
You can access the Settings menu by entering the password “63 4”.This is also done<br />
by turning the encoder. After selecting the correct number each time, confirm by pressing<br />
the encoder.<br />
Functions in the Settings menu<br />
1. Adjusting the starting frequency<br />
The generator has an automatic “frequency tuning”. This means that it fully automatically<br />
sets itself to the resonant frequency of the connected transducer system. The capture<br />
range is 1 kHz. The resonant frequency of the connected system must be known.<br />
Generally, a starting frequency which is approximately 00 Hz above the resonant frequency of the connected<br />
system leads to good results. In special cases, however, it can also<br />
be necessary to set the starting frequency closer to the resonance of the transducer system.<br />
Under no circumstances should the starting frequency be set so that it is below the resonant<br />
frequency of the connected transducer system! The starting frequency can be changed<br />
by pressing and then turning the encoder.<br />
The area which is covered depends on the device type.<br />
2. Control Assignment<br />
Here you can set how the generator is to be controlled. Internal Front means control<br />
via the front control panel, Front & ext. Voltage means that the generator can also be<br />
operated via an external voltage (see pin assignment of the interface) and RS 3 means<br />
that the generator can be controlled via the RS 3 interface (available as an option).<br />

I/O Polarities<br />
Remote IN: The polarity of the remote control input can be altered by changing<br />
this value.<br />
Factory default settings:<br />
A closed contact switches the generator on.<br />
Symbol “H”: When the contact is closed, the generator is switched on.<br />
Symbol “L”: When the contact is open, the generator is switched on.<br />
Error out: The polarity of the internal error relay can be switched over<br />
by altering this value.<br />
Factory default settings:<br />
Opened contact is an error, thereby safe of cable break.<br />
The polarity of the internal error relay can be switched over by<br />
altering this value.<br />
Symbol “L”: Closed contact is an error.<br />
Symbol “H”: Opened contact is an error.<br />
If the polarity is altered in such a way that a closed contact reports an error, you should<br />
be aware that the contact is open when there is no mains voltage at the generator or<br />
if the generator displays complete failure.<br />
Recommendation: Do not change the factory settings so that the errors described above<br />
can be detected properly.<br />
RF detect: The status signal HF-DA (generator is emitting HF voltage)<br />
can be altered by changing this value.<br />
Symbol “H”: Closed contact – generator emits HF voltage.<br />
Symbol “L”: Open contact – generator emits HF voltage.<br />
Please note that when the generator is not connected to the mains or there is a complete<br />
failure, this contact is open.<br />
Recommendation: Do not change the factory settings.<br />

Pre/Post function<br />
Here a maximum time lag of 1,000 ms can be set be<strong>for</strong>e welding. Power is only output after<br />
this time has expired. An afterburst can be set, which means that there is a fixed waiting<br />
time of 100 ms after the actual welding procedure. Power is then output to the transducer<br />
system again <strong>for</strong> a maximum of 00 ms to remove residue from the transducer system.<br />
