• If you discover a fault on the ultrasonic bath, disconnect the mains plug
immediately. Do not connect a faulty ultrasonic bath to the mains.
• Have repairs performed only by the manufacturer. See chapter 6.4 Repair .
2.6 Damage to health due to ultrasonic noise
Some people may find the typical ultrasonic noise produced during processing
very unpleasant. Damage to health can result if you remain within a radius of 2 m
for long periods.
• Wear suitable ear protection.
• Use a lid to reduce noise. The ultrasonic bath can also be used inside a sound-
proof box.
2.7 Risk due to high working temperatures
The ultrasonic bath, the sonication fluid and the goods to be treated can become
hot during operation. Touching them can lead to burns.
Ultrasound heats the sonication fluid even without additional heating. Very high
working temperatures can occur during lengthy ultrasonic operation.
• Note the treatment times recommended by the ultrasound agent manufac-
turer. Do not leave the ultrasound switched on for longer than necessary.
• Do not reach into the sonication fluid with your hand. Remove the goods to be
treated with the insert basket or with tongs.
• Allow the goods to be treated to cool down before you touch them.
Non-aqueous liquids can heat up much faster than water. A possible flashpoint
can be reached and exceeded after very short sonication. When using high-boiling
liquids, the bath temperature can rise above 120°C due to the energy supplied by
the ultrasound. This can lead to fires and to serious burns.
• Do not use any flammable, explosive, non-aqueous liquids (e.g. benzine or
solvents) or mixtures with flammable liquids (e.g. alcohol solutions) directly in
the stainless steel ultrasonic oscillating tank.
• Small quantities of flammable liquids can be sonicated indirectly in sample
containers. Before sonicating flammable liquids, familiarise yourself with nec-
essary safety measures and applicable regulations for handling these liquids.
