Aquamantys® Generator Adjustments Power on Aquamantys generator, adjust power up and down
Adjust flow settings
1
RF Activation When 2mm connector #1 is shorted to 4mm connector #1, the Aquamantys® bipolar RF output will be active from 4mm connector #1 to 4mm connector #2

2 3
2 2mm pin will activate RF when inserted into center hole of bipolar socket 3 Insert short red 4mm end of test lead into long red lead
2
4 To activate RF output, insert 2mm pin of short red lead into 2mm center hole of bipolar socket
5
5 Blue bipolar active LED will light up and stay lit while RF is activated

14 Insert red test lead into active port of power meter and black test lead into inactive port 14
15 Adjust resistance on the power meter to 50Ω
16 15
16 Activate RF power and read measurement on power meter display Measurement should be 200W +/- 10%
17
17 Deactivate RF power after each measurement; power can only be adjusted when RF is inactive

Pump Head Rotation to Verify Flow Rate Accuracy
1
1 Close pump head by moving and locking the pump head lever down toward the rear of the pump generator
2 2 Remove grommet from pump head
3
3 Mark a visual reference point
4 Or use a piece of tape and stick to pump shaft 4
11
5 Set the Aquamantys® generator power to 200W
5
6 6 Adjust flow rate to Low
7 Activate RF output 7
8 Using a stopwatch as a timer, count number of complete revolutions of pump shaft in 15 seconds
7
8 Deactivate RF output between measurements
Minimum revolutions = 17 Maximum revolutions = 23
9 9 0:1500
12
10 Count pump shaft revolutions in 15 seconds at Medium flow rate 10
10
Minimum revolutions = 22 Maximum revolutions = 30
11 Count pump shaft revolutions in 15 seconds at High flow rate 11
11
Minimum revolutions = 27 Maximum revolutions = 36
