5.3 Sonication time
NOTICE
Risk of damage to the objects to be treated
Prolonged sonication can damage the surface of sonication objects.
- Select the shortest possible sonication time.
The optimum sonication time depends on a number of factors:
• type and concentration of the agent,
• temperature of the sonication fluid,
• type of contamination,
• type of objects to be treated, in particular the materials.
Observe the specifications of the agent manufacturer regarding the recommended
sonication time.
To protect the objects to be treated and the oscillating tank, select at the start
the shortest possible sonication time. Check the result. Extend the sonication time
if the result is inadequate.
5.4 Filling with sonication fluid
CAUTION
Risk of scalding
- Do not pour hot water into the oscillating tank.
- Maximum filling temperature: 50 °C.
NOTICE
Damage due to condensation in the device
At high humidity, condensation forms inside the device if you fill it with cold water.
- Do not pour cold water into the oscillating tank when humidity is high.
NOTICE
If you use an agent in powder form, do not pour it directly into the ultrasonic
oscillating tank.
- Mix agents in powder form in another container before pouring them into
the oscillating tank.
- Only pour the agent into the oscillating tank when it has dissolved completely.
