Heat is causing the circuit breaker to trip.
1. Likely cause is a shorted heat blanket.
2. Remove the front (if applicable) and back lower access panels.
3. Inspect the heat blanket(s)
– they should be an orange/ pinkish color.
4. If the heat blankets are black or charcoal white, they must be replaced.
5. Call Omegasonics to order new heat blanket(s).
Ultrasound is causing the circuit breaker to trip.
1. Remove vented/ panel located on the right end of the machine.
2. Remove the power plug from the back of the generator.
3. Activate the ultrasound.
4. If the circuit breaker trips again, then the corrective action is to replace the digital
timer.
5. If the circuit breaker does not trip, then follow these procedures.
a. Contact Omegasonics to have the existing generator repaired or replaced.
6. If no specific circuit causes the internal circuit breaker to trip but the issue occurs
sporadically, then the circuit breaker will need to be replaced.
7. Call Omegasonics to order a new circuit breaker.
Ultrasound circuit is not operational.
1. Does the digital timer have a visible display?
2. Does the timer count up?
3.
Does the timer display flash “OP.” in the lower left side?
4. Does the timer display flash a RED dot in the upper left side?
5. If the answer to 1 -4 is NO, replace the digital timer.
6. If the answer to 1, 2 or 3 is YES, use the following steps.
7. Remove upper panel located on the right end of the machine.
8. Does the center plunger on the Ultrasound contactor pull in when timer
activates?
9. If the answer is YES, the generator is the likely cause.
10. If the answer is NO, can you manually push in the coil to activate the ultrasound?
a. NOTE: Use an insulated screwdriver to push in the center coil.
b. If you cannot push in the coil manually, the contactor needs to be
replaced.
11. Contact Omegasonics for a generator RMA or to order a replacement contactor.
The unit trips the GFCI circuit breaker when the ultrasound operates.
1. GFCI circuit breakers will cause intermittent trips with ultrasound.
2. Install non-GFCI circuit breaker.
