3.4. Operating the Equipment
1.
Getting Started
– Locate the unit on a solid and level surface.
2.
Filling the Unit
– Check to be sure the drain valve is tightly closed. Fill the tank up
to the recommended working level with high quality water (A good rule of thumb is
to fill the tank to ¾ full). To protect against overflow, allow space in the tank for the
water displacement of the items that are to be placed in the tank. If tap water is not
of good quality, it is recommended that filtered water is used to allow the detergent
to perform at its highest level.
3.
Set Heater temperature
– For most industrial applications, 140
°
F is the
recommended fluid temperature. Some applications or detergents will require other
temperatures and may be as low as 90
°
F. Consult your sales representative if you
do not know what temperature to set the unit to.
4.
Adding Chemicals
– Use the mixture rate recommended by the detergent
manufacturer. After cleaning one or two items, you may choose to increase the
chemical ratio. The amount of chemical will be based on the condition of the water
being used and how much contamination is to be removed. Detergents that are
used in this ultrasonic cleaning system must be compatible with 304 and 316L
stainless steel.
You will void the warranty if chemical attack to the stainless
steel occurs.
5.
Tank Power On
– On the tank, turn
ON
the main power switch.
6.
Generator Power On
– On the generator(s), turn
ON
the main power switch. (
DO
NOT
turn on the ultrasonics without having liquid in the tank, doing so will damage
the ultrasonic transducers). Rotate the "Power Intensity" dial clockwise (ultrasonic
sound will increase).
7.
Operating the Digital Controller
– Your system comes equipped with a digital
controller for managing the temperature and timers. The temperature of the system
will automatically be maintained based upon the set temperature. Setting the timer
will allow for precise control of the length of the ultrasonic cleaning cycle. Below is
additional information regarding the operation of this controller.
