3. Unboxing &
Installation
3a. Location Requirements
The placement of the Photocentric Wash 15 is
important for the safe running and for optimal
performance of the wash unit. Photocentric Wash 15
external dimensions are 400(l) x 350 (w) x 280 (h) mm.
It weighs 9.5kg. Consider enough space when
selecting a stable location for the Photocentric
Wash 15 unit. Ensure that there is sufficient room to
access the wall outlet and power supply, space for
accessories and finally, the proximity to an extraction
duct.
All operations involving uncured resin or printed parts
in the green state should be performed in a low-
light environment so that components have minimal
exposure to daylight. It is highly recommended that
red ambient lighting is used to prevent early curing.
Choose a location where the ambient temperature is
in the range of 18-28°C.
3b. Unboxing Photocentric
Wash 15
Photocentric Wash 15 is packed in a cardboard
enclosure inclusive of foam inserts above and below
the main unit. To unbox the unit, open the box from
the top. Remove the foam inserts covering the top of
the unit and use the side handles to lift carefully from
the box. Use safety gloves with a secure grip surface

4. Ultrasonic cleaning
principle
The Photocentric wash unit is an ultrasonic cleaner
for use in both industrial and domestic usage.
Made from high-quality SUS stainless steel plate,
the Photocentric wash unit offers a temperature
heating element and a strong ultrasonic power
output. Residue resin can be extremely hard to
remove by hand; however, it becomes easy with the
use of the Photocentric Wash unit and Photocentric
Cleaner. All 3D printed parts can be cleaned in the
ultrasonic process to remove resin residue, this can
be achieved to a ‘perfect’ condition with the use of
Photocentric Cleaner.
