Troubleshooting 

Ultrawave have a dedicated Service team who are able to resolve any problems that occur 
with your 

Hygea 6427

. However, on many occasions, it is possible that the problem can 

be rectified by the operator. 

 

 

The unit fails to turn 
on  (no  display  is 
shown) 

Check  that  the  unit  is  plugged  in  and  that  mains  electricity  is 
present. 

The screen displays: 

“FLUID LEVEL LOW 

OR NO DETERGENT” 

Fill  the 

Hygea  6427

 

with  water  so  that  it  is  between  the  MIN  and 

MAX level indicated inside the tank. 

If  you  are  using  “pure”  water  (eg.  De-I  or  RO)  ensure  that  the 
detergent has been added.  

The screen displays: 

“LID OPEN 

Please Close Lid”” 

Close the lid. 

If  the  lid  is  already  closed,  there  may  be  a  problem  with  the  lid 
sensor. Attempt to run another cycle to see if the problem reoccurs. 

The screen displays: 

 

“SONICS LOW” 

The 

Hygea 6427

 

is fitted with an ultrasonic power feedback circuit, 

which monitors the ultrasonic activity in the bath during a cleaning 
cycle. 

If  the  ultrasonic  power  drops  below  a  certain  level,  the  cycle  will 
abort  and  this  message  will  display.  This  is  not  necessarily  caused 
by a problem with the machine. 

If  this  message  displays,  run  another  cycle  to  see  if  the  problem 
persists. 

The screen displays: 

 

“OVER TEMP” 

Drain and refill with fresh cold water 

The

    

Hygea  6427

 

is  fitted  with  a  temperature  sensor  that 

automatically sets off an audible alarm if the liquid gets too hot. 

Ultrasonic  activity  itself  will  heat  up  the  liquid  at  a  rate  of 
approximately  10-15°C  per  hour.  If  the

    

Hygea  6427

 

is  operated 

continuously,  it  may  eventually  set  off  the  audible  alarm  because 
the liquid is too hot. 

The screen displays: 

 

“UNDER TEMP” 

The cleaning solution is not yet at the minimum temperature.  Wait 
until  the  cleaning  solution  has  reached  the  minimum  operating 
temperature. 

The screen displays: 

“NO MC CARD 

PRESENT” 

If the Validation Mode selected is to write to the MC Card, then the 

Hygea 6427

 will detect if the card is present.  

If the MC Card is not present, and “MC Card Only” is selected as the 
Validation Mode, then the cycle will not begin. 

If “Printer & MC Card” is selected, then the cycle will run, but data 
will only be stored on the printed validation ticket. 

Refer  to  the  Administrator  Instruction  Manual  for  information  on 
adjusting the Validation Mode. 

 

If any of these problems persist, the Ultrawave Service Department can be contacted on 
+44 (0) 845 330 4238 or [email protected]
 

There are no user serviceable parts inside the Hygea 6427.
