3.1.2 Heating
The heating system is operated through the integrated toggle switch or turning knob.
• Switch on toggle switch
 Fixed setting 65 °C
- The yellow control light in the switch will fl ash.
- Press the switch to turn it off (a “0” becomes visible)
If a bath temperature of approx. 65 °C is reached, the heating will turn off - the control light will
continue to
fl ash.
• Turn knob to the right
 Temperature range 30-80 °C:
- To turn it off, turn the knob left back to "°C".
RK 52 H (a white lamp):
- The white control lamp comes on during the heating
phase and goes out when the set temperature is
reached.
From RK 100 H:
- The yellow and white control lights will
fl ash.
- The yellow control light goes out when the set temperature is reached.
Notes
• The heating system works independently from the ultrasound.
• The heating will automatically turn on every time that the bath temperature drops below the set
temperature.
• The heat automatically switches off to protect the ultrasonic bath from overheating.
The ultrasonic bath will need to cool down suf fi ciently (water temperature around 50 °C) and be
disconnected from the mains power brie fl y before it can be used again.
• Ultrasound energy warms up the sonication fl uid (even without additional heating).
- In case of continuous sonication and/or covering the oscillating tank, the fl uid temperature
will increase, even rising above the value set on the thermostat. For this reason, check the
temperature when treating temperature-sensitive components.
- Non-aqueous fl uids can heat up many times faster than water. A possible fl ashpoint can be
reached and/or exceeded after a very short sonication time. In the case of high-boiling liquids
(with and without a
fl ashpoint), the bath temperature can increase to >120 °C due to the
energy input of the ultrasound. This leads to irreparable damage to the ultrasonic bath.
