removed and the tubing is allowed to cool under compression, a permanent seal is
produced.
1.2.3 The RF Generator produces variable RF power at a minimum of 150 watts,
the frequency of which is controlled by a solid-state oscillator/amplifier operating
at 40.68 mHz. The RF power level, dwell time, and clamp time can be adjusted
by the operator, allowing various tubing sizes and materials to be accommodated.
1.3 User Safety
1.3.1 The Sealer is intended for use by personnel trained by their organization for
using RF equipment to seal or weld plastic tubing or parts in a controlled
environment.
1.3.2 Vante™ RF Sealers meet or exceed appropriate electrical safety standards
and pose no electrical shock hazard when used with properly fused and grounded
outlets. Reference, “Radio Frequency System Safety Considerations” section
included at the end of this manual.
WARNING: Sealing is not recommended for tubing containing flammable
liquids or hazardous materials.
1.3.3 The Model 3120 Generator has a thermal protection circuit which will
cause the unit to shut down if internal temperatures exceed 55°C. After a short
period of time (when internal temperatures are below 55° C) the generator will
reset and operation can resume.
1.4 Controller Interface
1.4.1 When required, the control port is located on the front of the Generator and
is a 15 pin female D sub-miniature connector. Refer to Table 1.1 for pinout
