Instructions for use
Instructions – fi lling
• Check that all ball valves are 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 the
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!
As a precaution, the ultrasonic bath is equipped with a
fl
oat 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.
When used for extended periods, the device may switch off as a result of
evaporation, for example. 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.
• When using with a liquid circuit (with FA, OX, WA or cascade pipes) the additional
fi
ll
volume of the peripheral devices must be taken into account:
Fill the ultrasonic bath with water and cleaning concentrate (in the appropriate dose!)
up to the weir's toothed edge
Follow the dosing instructions for the concentrate
used. Also
fi
ll all additional tanks up to the weir with municipal or DI water.
• Do not use any combustible
fl
uids (e.g. benzine, solvents) or chemicals that
contain or separate out chloride ions (some disinfectants, household cleaners and
dishwashing detergents) for sonication in the stainless steel tank.
• When using preparations, the safety instructions included in the 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).
