Attention – Damage to device!
The setting in menu "Plasma Error" is per default "failure". This stops the device to
protect the module of situations that might damage the piezo element. It is also an
indicator, that the plasma discharge might be not suitable for this material causing a not
satisfying surface activation.
Some materials (e.g. compound materials or liquids) might be difficult to treat with the
"failure" setting. By switching to "warning" mode, be aware that the module might be
damaged, depending on your material and or process parameters.

Process tools

As described in section 7.3, the device provides various functions as tools to support the
plasma treatment process.
•
Stopwatch
The device measures the duration of plasma generation in one second steps from
start to stop triggered by pressing of the Start/Stop button. The value measured
last remains in the home menu until the next plasma generation is started.
This function can be used, for example, as an aid in process development to
record the different treatment times of different samples.
The adjustability in the menu item "Timing" is deactivated in this mode (display
"not applicable").
•
Countdown
In countdown mode, a duration of plasma generation can be pre-set via the menu
item "Timing". The unit is started using the Start/Stop button but stops activation
automatically after the set duration has elapsed. The plasma generation can be
stopped by pressing the Start/Stop button.
This function can be used, for example, if many samples are to be treated with
plasma for the same amount of time.
•
Metronome
In this mode the plasma generation is not deactivated after the time has elapsed,
as it is in the "Countdown" mode, but rather a regular acoustic signal is emitted.
This function can be used, for example, when large substrates are treated in lines
and each line should have approximately the same duration.
