5.11 Emptying the ultrasonic oscillating tank
WARNING
Risk of electric shock
– Disconnect the mains plug before lifting the ultrasonic bath.
– Do not place the ultrasonic bath in a sink to empty it.
– Make sure that fluid cannot get into the housing.
CAUTION
Hot sonication fluid and ultrasonic oscillating tank
There is a risk of burns when you lift the ultrasonic bath.
– Allow the ultrasonic bath to cool before you lift it.
Soiling on the bottom of the ultrasonic oscillating tank reduces the
ultrasonic nominal power. If there is visible contamination in the
sonication fluid, drain and clean the ultrasonic oscillating tank.
Also note the agent manufacturer's information on the life of the
sonication fluid.
Replace used sonication fluid completely. Do not freshen it up by
adding fluid.
Procedure
1. Switch off the ultrasound. If applicable, switch off the heating. If
you have to move the ultrasonic bath to empty it, disconnect the
mains plug.
2. If the ultrasonic bath has a drain, open the ball valve. If the ultra-
sonic bath does not have a drain, carefully pour out the fluid via
the corner of the ultrasonic oscillating tank.
3. Rinse the ultrasonic oscillating tank thoroughly.
4. Wipe the ultrasonic bath dry with a soft cloth.
5. If necessary, disinfect the ultrasonic bath with a suitable surface
disinfectant.
