Equipment not suitable for use in the presence of flammable is Ultrasonic Cleaning ?Ultrasonics by itself is just sound frequencies above what you can hear. Ultrasoniccleaning is performed through a process called cavitation. Cavitation generatesmillions of bubbles in the solution. These bubbles grow in size and eventuallyimplode. When these bubbles collapse, the fluid surrounding the bubbles collapseswith great force creating shock waves upwards of 20,000 pounds per square Cleaner SpecificationsModel OverallDim.

Remember to save your invoicefor warranty purposes!3 When the solution outside the bubble rushes towards the center of this cavity itgenerates high temperatures upwards of 20,000 degrees Fahrenheit. This iswhat causes the temperature of the solution to increase naturally while the unit isin cavitation process is possible due to the use of transducers.

4 A transducer isa thin ceramic disk, which when charged with an electrical alternating current, willcreate a sound outside of the normal hearing range of humans. It is this sound thatwe use to create Ultrasonic action within the cleaner tank. As the transducer iselectrically charged it will generate the Ultrasonic wave in an upwards direction(ultrasonics go upwards, not outwards), creating an implosion of the sound waves,which creates the Cleaning Your Ultrasonic CleanerSafety PrecautionsBefore using or installing your Ultrasonic cleaner, it is important that you read thebelow safety precautions to ensure safe installation and usage of this Ultrasonic to follow these precautions increases the risk of damage or personal injury.

5 To avoid electrical shock, unplug your unit from the power source before filling your tank. Donotsubmerge this Ultrasonic cleaner in water. Donotremove the grounding prong from supplied electrical plug. Donotplace the Ultrasonic cleaner on a circuit which may be overloaded. Donotplace the Ultrasonic cleaner on a circuit which presently supplies arelative large motor, autoclave/sterilizer, polishing motor, air compressor orvacuum motor. Donotuse flammable fluids under any circumstances. Donotplace fingers or hands in the tank while the Ultrasonic power is on. Donotallow parts to rest on the tank bottom surface as they may cause erosion. Donotallow the solution level to drop below two inches from the bottom of the tank. Donotuse any of the chemicals listed in Appendix A of this handbook in your Ultrasonic cleaner.

6 Only a certified service technician should disassemble the unit should itbe needed. Donothandle the equipment when the tank is filled. This product incorporates fusing only in the ungrounded phase conductor. Thisproduct must not be used in countries other than the United States and Canadaand must be used only in Health care facilities on grounded systems whereconditions of maintenance and supervision ensure that only qualified personswill service the electrical distribution Your Ultrasonic Cleaner4 Information Regarding Potential EMC Interference And AdviceFor Avoidance Magnetic and Electrical fields are capable of interfering with the proper performance of this device. For this reason, make sure that all external devices operated in the vicinity comply with the relevant EMC requirements.

7 Mains power quality should be that of a typical commercial or hospitalenvironment. Power frequency magnetic fields should be at levels characteristic of a typical location in a commercial or hospital environment. If the above criteria cannot be verified, precaution shall be taken when usingthis DefinitionsISO 3864, No. : (refer to accompanying documents)ISO 3864, No. : Risk of electric shockIEC 417, No. 5032 Alternating CurrentProtective Earth GroundUnpacking Your Ultrasonic Cleaner1. Inspect the carton for any damages. If you find either external damage orinternal damage contact your shipping carrier immediately before contactingyour Carefully check the packing and the picking list for correct items enclosed.

8 Ifthere is a discrepancy found, immediately contact your Fill out warranty card located on the back cover of this manual and record serialnumber located on the rear of the unit and mail it to the Your Ultrasonic Cleaner5 Installing Your Ultrasonic Cleaner1. Select Location for Ultrasonic CleanerCounter-Top Modela. The counter-top model may be positioned on a table or a counter top andshould be positioned within reach of a standard (GFI) grounded electricaloutlet. The label located on the back of the cleaner will identify proper Those units supplied with a drain assembly should be positioned near a sinkto allow for easy Modela. The recessed model Ultrasonic cleaner is designed to be surface mountedinto a cabinet top.

9 A rectangular hole must be cut in the cabinet Further installation details for this model is contained in a Cutout Template drawing supplied separately with these The unit should be positioned near a GFI electrical outlet as well as a sink forproper drainage.

Make sure that the stainless steel drain screen is installed in the tank drain holeinside the tank. Debris in the solution can destroy the seals in the drain valveand cause them to leak!2. Make sure the drain valve is closed. Closed is when the quick disconnectsare Add the required quantity of Ultrasonic Cleaning solution into the tank.

10 Select theproper quantity from the table located in Appendix B. (Note: For a list of harmfulchemicals see Appendix A.) Add ordinary tap water to fill the tank to theoperating level between inches from the tank :Solution should cover items to be cleaned so they are submerged at least1/2 inch below the surface of the solution. It is important to change yoursolution regularly for consistent performance of your condition the freshly prepared fluid, set the timer to 15 minutes and allow it tooperate without adding material to be cleaned. This process is known as a degasphase. After the initial degassing has been completed, subsequent startup onlyrequires 1-2 minutes to complete the degassing. Degassing is required toeliminate air bubbles in the solution for maximum Basket Method1.
