Connect to mains electric and the green ‘Mains’ indicator (E) will illuminate. Switch on the `ON`
SWITCH (F) adjacent to the mains indicator lamp. Select start up screen, press green start button to
start fan and compressor. Press next to go to temperature screen and using enter and arrow keys
change set temperature to 10°C this will prevent the heater from coming on. Press next 4 times to
return to the Start – Up screen in readiness to start the pump.
When the three tubes are connected to the jet assembly place the open end of the silicone tube into
a beaker of clean water and switch on the pump. Increase the speed by increasing the value of
“pump setting” and watch the water travel through the tube.
When the water reaches the jet assembly it will emerge from the jet nozzle in a fine spray mist.
Note: Switching on the pump also activates the jet de-blocking system. This can be set to slow,
med or fast as required, using the SET DE-BLOCKER screen.
Set pump speed by increasing (or decreasing) value in the pump setting screen.
The information indicates pump speed on a nominal 50 scale. For appropriate flow rates in ml/hr
please see the chart on Note II.
The compressed air pressure setting is factory set to a maximum pressure of 3 bar, however
running pressure is a function of jet nozzle size and will only approach this value with the 0.5mm
nozzle.
Note that the maximum air pressure available is considerably reduced when larger jet diameters are
used so that, for example, if using the 1mm jet the maximum compressor pressure available may be
as low as 0.6 bar. This is normally sufficient for the larger jets.
When you have become familiar with the operation of the jet system look closely at the jet nozzle to
see the fine jet de-blocking needle in operation. The frequency of the de-blocking action is
controlled by the ‘De-blocker’ screen. If de-blocking is not required simply remove the small
diameter (4mm) nylon tube from the top of the jet assembly and from the outlet at the top left of the
main unit. The internal de-blocker controls will continue to operate but will not affect the jet
Now place the jet assembly in the top chamber and secure with the knurled collar.
THE SD-06 UNIT IS READY FOR OPERATION.
