4. Activate Degas, Sweep or Pulse mode and select ultrasonic
frequency and ultrasonic power if required for the intended
application.
5. Keep the key

pressed (> 2 sec.):
The unit starts heating up.
During the heating-up process the ultrasound is regularly
activated to mix the liquid.
The display shows the set cleaning time (flashing).
When the set temperature is reached the ultrasound is
switched on for the duration of the set cleaning period.
When the set cleaning period has run down, the ultrasonic
activity is automatically switched off. The heating continues
operating at the set temperature.

Degas mode
Special operating mode for the quick degassing of HPLC
samples or solvents
The oxygen bubbles contained in the liquids are carried into the
atmosphere quickly and efficiently by means of a specialized
modulation and clocking of the ultrasonic waves.

key indicates that the Degas mode is activated.
The Degas mode can be switched on at any time during
operation.
Degas, Sweep and Pulse cannot be operated simultaneously.

Sweep mode
During standard ultrasonic operation, zones of increased
ultrasonic intensity form directly above the transducer systems,
and zones of lower ultrasonic intensity can be found along the
edge zone of the tank. This is a positive effect which can be
used for the sounding of glass beakers, Erlenmeyer flasks etc.
by positioning them directly into these zones.
For large cleaning items, however, it may be useful to switch on
the Sweep mode.
A more homogeneous sounding of the cleaning bath is
achieved by the continued displacement of the sound pressure
maxima in the cleaning liquid. This leads to a more uniform
ultrasonic intensity throughout the ultrasonic tank.
