Instructions for use
Instructions -
fi
lling
• Verify that the ball valve is closed.
• The ultrasound must be turned o
ff
.
• Do not
fi
ll oscillating tank with hot water. Maximum
fi
lling temperature: 50°C.
• Water of at least drinking quality must be used to
fi
ll the oscillating tank.
• Water without additives is not suited for sonication. BANDELIN recommends the TICKOPUR or
STAMMOPUR preparations.
• Only use distilled or deionised water without additives in inset beakers or insert tubs.
• The
fi
ll level must always be at or slightly above the
fi
lling level mark.
A low
fi
ll level will damage the ultrasonic bath!
• Do not use any combustible
fl
uids (e.g., benzine, solvents) or chemicals that contain chloride
ions or that separate (some disinfection agents, household cleaners and dish detergents) for
sonication in the stainless steel tank.
• When working with aggressive preparations in inset beakers or insert tubs: Prevent the contact
fl
uid or stainless steel surfaces from being sprayed. If necessary, replace the contact
fl
uid, clean
the surfaces and wipe dry.
• When using preparations, the safety instructions included in the respective product lea
fl
ets are
fundamentally to be adhered to.
• Replace used sonication
fl
uids, do not refresh them by adding more
fl
uids.
Notes - Inserting objects
• Fully remove
air bubbles from cavities (e.g., blind holes).
Indirect sonication
Fully remove possible air bubbles from underneath the vessels.
Notes - Temperature
• Warmed-up
fl
uids intensify the ultrasound e
ff
ect.
Experience has shown that the best results are obtained with a bath temperature of 50 bis
60 °C. At higher temperatures, the e
ff
ect of the ultrasound cavitation decreases, however

.
•
Ultrasound energy warms up the bath
fl
uid (even without additional heating). The temperature of
the bath
fl
uid can increase rapidly if the ultrasound is active for long periods of time and/or the
oscillating tank is covered.
Therefore, control the temperature when treating temperature-sensitive components.
• To protect the electronic components inside the ultrasonic bath, the ultrasound output is
reduced upon reaching a critical temperature in order to inhibit a further increase in the interior
temperature.
• The
fl
uid in the oscillating tank must not exceed a maximum operating temperature of 100°C.
