Chapter 1: Safety and Support
General Precautions
1.2.3 Emissions
When being processed, certain plastic materials can emit toxic fumes, gases or other emissions
that can be hazardous to the operator’s health. Where such materials are processed, proper ven-
tilation of the workstation is required. Check your materials suppliers for recommended protec-
tion when processing their materials.
Processing of many materials, such as PVC, can be hazardous to an operator’s
health and could cause corrosion/damage to the equipment. Use proper ventila-
tion and take protective measures.
1.2.4 Setting up the Workplace
Measures for setting up a workplace for safe operation of the ultrasonic welder are outlined in
Chapter 4: Installation and Setup and in the 2000-series Installation Guide.
1.2.5 Regulatory Compliance
The Branson 2000aod actuator and converter receive their power and control from a 2000X-
series power supply, and together make up a system. The 2000d power supply is designed for
compliance with the following domestic (U.S.A.) and other regulatory guidelines.
