Preliminary Information

Document Scope

This manual is a guide for the initial setup, adjustment, operation and routine maintenance of
the Vante® Model 3120 RF Generator (hereinafter referred to as “the Generator”) used with
the Vante Model 3806 Mid-Sized Tube Sealer (hereinafter referred to as “the Sealer”). This
information is based upon technical data that is believed to be adequate for the intended
Sealer use.

Intended Audience

This manual is for use by personnel with technical skills, a thorough knowledge of the
procedures for using radio frequency (RF) power to seal, form and/or weld RF reactive
thermoplastic materials and the understanding that this sealer is to be used at their own
discretion and risk in a controlled environment. A controlled environment is a location
where there is RF radiation that may be incurred by persons who are aware of the potential
for exposure.

Application

The Model 3120 RF Generator and Model 3806 Sealer create a system for making seals on
tubing made of RF-reactive thermoplastic materials such as polyurethane, polyvinylchloride
(PVC), Ethylene vinyl acetate (EVA), certain types of nylons and certain co-extrusions.
Tubing may be filled with liquid; however, the outside of the tubing must be clean and dry.
