4.1 Instructions for use
Instructions - fi lling
• Verify that the ball valve is closed.
• Ultrasound and heating must be turned off.
• Do not
fi ll ultrasonic tank with hot water. Maximum fi lling temperature: 50 °C.
• At least drinking-quality water must be used to fi ll the oscillating tank.
• Water without additives is not suited for sonication. BANDELIN recommends
TICKOPUR or STAMMOPUR preparations.
• The fi ll level must always be at or slightly above the fi lling level mark.
A low fi ll level will damage the ultrasonic bath!
This may occur, for example, through evaporation when used for extended periods.
In such cases, the ultrasound and possibly the heating must be switched off
(controller on 0). Once the tank is
fi lled up, the ultrasound and the heating, if
applicable, can be switched back on.
W 300:
As a precaution, the ultrasonic bath is equipped with a
fi ll level switch that protects
heaters and ultrasound systems from dry operation. Operation is not possible if the
level of liquid in the tank is too low.
• Do not use any combustible, explosive, non-aqueous liquids or azeotropic mixtures
directly in the stainless steel oscillating tank (e.g. benzine, solvents). Furthermore,
chemicals that contain or that separate chloride ions (some disinfectants, household
cleaners, and dish detergents), may not be used directly in the stainless steel tank.
• When using strongly acidic preparations, the hard chromium plating of the ball valve
may become corroded and the ball valve start to leak.
If the use of a strongly acidic cleaning agent cannot be avoided, the use of a
stainless steel ball valve is recommended.
• When using preparations, the safety instructions included in the respective product
lea fl ets must strictly be adhered to.
• Replace used sonication fl uids, do not refresh by adding fl uids.
Notes - Inserting objects
• Fully remove air bubbles
from cavities (e.g. blind
holes).
Notes - Temperature and heating
• Warmed-up fl uids intensify the ultrasound effect. Experience has shown that the best
results are obtained with a bath temperature of 50 to 60°C. At higher temperatures,
the effect of the ultrasound cavitation decreases again, however

• In order to save time during use, the bath fl uid may be preheated during degassing.
