Warnings and safety precautions
General
• Keep the device and accessories out of the reach of children and also of persons who have not
been instructed in their operation by reference to these instructions.
• The use of the device or parts thereof on humans or animals is not authorised.
• Keep the ultrasonic generator and operating elements clean and dry.
• Do not expose the unit to corroding forces.
•
When working with the device, please observe hygiene instructions pursuant to chapter 5.2.
• The connection of any type of power or voltage sources to the signal inputs or outputs is
forbidden.
• Signal lines from foot switches, temperature sensors, etc., may not exceed a maximum length
of 3 m.
• All plug connections (such as for ultrasonic converters, foot switches) may only be plugged or
unplugged while the device is turned o
ff
or in idle mode (pause mode).
• The
ultrasonic generator and ultrasonic converter must be transported separately.
• Ultrasonic
homogenisers adhere to prescribed EMC limit values, so that it can be assumed
that the electromagnetic radiation emanating from the units is harmless to humans. A binding
statement for wearers of implants can only be made at the place of work and together with the
implant manufacturer. In case of doubt, information regarding the allowable electromagnetic
exposure level should be obtained from the implant manufacturer.
Operation
• Observe ambient and set-up conditions, see chapter 1.4.
• Determine the mains voltage before connecting the ultrasonic generator.
• Only connect the ultrasonic generator to a grounded socket.
Fuse protection 16 A (main circuit breaker).
•
Firmly mount the ultrasonic converter on the black housing only, using a suitable support.
• Before each start-up, check that the probe is
fi
rmly positioned on the standard or booster horn; if
necessary, tighten the probe (see chapter 4.3.1).
• Do not touch any oscillating parts (e.g. standard or booster horns, micro tips or tapered tips,
titanium
fl
at tips, ultrasonic converter) during operation! Damage to health is possible.
• Do not touch the sonication vessels with the oscillating probe - probes and vessels could be
damaged.
• The
sonication of liquids generates noise. Suitable accessories, such as a sound proof box,
will minimise such noise considerably. If operating without a sound proof box, wear hearing
protection.
• Warning, risk of splashing!
This is especially the case with small sample quantities and when immersing oscillating probes.
• Do not use combustible solvents in open reaction vessels since the operating safety of
the homogeniser could be compromised. Safe extraction of combustible vapours must be
guaranteed. When using a sound proof box, the vapours cannot escape.
• Before any mounting or dismounting (chapters 4.3 and 4.4) of probes, standard/booster horns
or accessories, turn o
ff
the device and disconnect the ultrasonic converter from the ultrasonic
generator.
• Only use the prescribed tool for mounting and dismounting (see appendix A).
• Do not use any bent probes (
unstable operation, loss of power).
