SONICS Model
PSKIT-H540
This Sonics & Materials manufactured
ultrasonic kit is designed for use as
an internal electrical component.
should only be powered after being
It
properly mounted and earth grounded
inside of an industry standard
NEMA type electrical
enclosure.
IMPORTANT INFORMATION
1. NEMA enclosure needs to be properly fan cooled and vented.
2. Incoming line voltage (120 VAC 50/60 Hz.) must be noise filtered and
correctly earth grounded.
3. Because of potential noise interference, all RF signal cables and cable
connections should be routed as far away from other electrical
components as possible.
4. RF cable out from the NEMA enclosure and direct to a single ultrasonic
converter should not exceed 15’ (4.6 meters) in length.
5. When sequencing, RF cables out from the NEMA enclosure to individual
ultrasonic converters should not exceed 15’ (4.6 meters) in length.
6. To avoid RF cable capacitance variations, all RF cables should be equal
in length. Coil and zip-tie any excess RF cable lengths.
