4 Preparation for operation
4.1 Set up homogeniser
1. Place the ultrasonic generator on a firm, level and dry surface.
2. Screw the probe onto the standard horn or booster horn, or to the ultrasonic
converter (HD 5020/5050); see
3. Clamp the ultrasonic converter on the black housing in a suitable holder. BAN-
DELIN recommends the HG 40 stand; see
.
4. If you are using a sound proof box, place the holder with the ultrasonic con-
verter in the sound proof box.
5. Insert the plug of the ultrasonic converter into the connection on the rear of
the ultrasonic generator.
6. Optional: Connect the temperature sensor to the ultrasonic converter.
7. Check that the mains switch is set to "0". Insert the mains plug into a
grounded socket.
4.2 Mounting/removing the probe
NOTICE
Damage to the ultrasonic converter
If the ultrasonic oscillating system in the housing of the ultrasonic converter
twists, the ultrasonic converter will be damaged.
– Always use the sickle spanner to secure the standard horn or booster horn.
– Never hold the ultrasonic converter by the housing when tightening or loos-
ening the probe.
Requirement
• The ultrasonic converter is disconnected from the ultrasonic generator.
• Tools required: 1 sickle spanner, 1 spanner (supplied tool set)
Procedure
1. Clean the mounting surfaces of the standard horn, booster horn, or the ultra-
sonic converter (HD 5020/5050) and the probe.
2. Screw the probe on hand-tight.
3. Place the ultrasonic converter on a firm tabletop. In the case of probes, sup-
port the probe tip with a thick underlay if necessary.
4. Place the sickle spanner on the standard horn, booster horn, or the ultrasonic
converter (HD 5020/5050). Support the sickle spanner on the tabletop; see
also the following figures.
5. Firmly tighten the probe with the spanner. Use of a torque wrench (Code No.
3662) is recommended – not for HD 5020 and HD 5400. The required tight-
ening torque can be found in the product information supplied with the probe.
