Page 6: Product Description
Product description Ultrasonic and rinsing bath, type SONOREX TECHNIK RM ..The exact type specifi cation and serial number are found on the type plate, on the rear side of the ultrasonic bath. Product features: • Stainless steel oscillating tank (1) with high-grade PZT high-performance ultrasonic systems, ultrasound frequency 40 kHz •... -
Page 7: Mode Of Operation
Mode of operation SONOREX ultrasonic baths use the effect of cavitation. Under their oscillating tank bottoms they contain piezoelectric transducers, the energy of which is transferred to the bath liquid with ultrasound frequency as mechanical oscillations. As a result, microscopically small bubbles are continuously formed in the bath liquid, which release energy upon imploding and generate local microcurrents. -

Page 12: Warnings And Safety Precautions
Warnings and safety precautions General • Keep the ultrasonic/rinsing bath out of the reach of children and of persons who have not been instructed in its operation by reference to these instructions. • We do not guarantee against damage to the ultrasonic/rinsing bath or oscillating tank, or to the objects to be treated, as a result of use of inadequate disinfection agents or detergents. -
Page 13: Preparation
Preparation Carefully unpack the ultrasonic/rinsing bath and accessories and inspect them for completeness or possible transportation damages. If any damages or defects are found, these must be immediately notifi ed in writing to the transportation company and to the supplier. Before startup, the ultrasonic bath is to be left to stand at its operating location for 2 hours so that it may adapt to the ambient conditions. -
Page 14: Start-Up
Start-up Thoroughly rinse the ultrasonic or rinsing bath's oscillating tank with water before its fi rst use. Verify that the control buttons are in the "off" position, i.e. the switch indicator is at the top, then connect the bath to the mains. ... -
Page 15: Operation
Operation Operating elements The ultrasound and the heating system are operated from the front: 1 Turning knob for Heating ON / OFF incl. adjustment control 2 Turning knob for Ultrasound ON / OFF with preset time 3 White control light (Heating is activated) 4 Yellow control light (Heating in operation) The layout of the turning knobs depends on the bath. -
Page 16: Heating
3.1.2 Heating The heating is operated through the turning knob (heating). white • Turn knob to the right Temperature range 30-80 °C: yellow - The yellow and white control lights are illuminated. - The yellow control light goes out when the set temperature is reached. -
Page 17: Use
• 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. -
Page 18: General Use
Notes - Temperature and heating • Heated fl uids intensify the ultrasound effect. Experience has shown that the best results are obtained with a bath temperature of 50 to 60 °C. At higher temperatures, the effect of the ultrasound cavitation decreases again, however •... - Page 19 Step 3: Preheat fl uid In ultrasonic baths with integral heating, the fl uid may be preheated independently of the ultrasound. This increases the ultrasound effect, especially when removing fats, oils and polishing paste residue, and shortens the duration of the subsequent ultrasound. ...
- Page 20 Step 6: Remove treated objects After sonication, the objects are to be removed from the ultrasonic bath. Allowing them to remain any longer in the bath fl uid may damage them. Switch off the ultrasound. Remove the basket from the tank and place it securely on a horizontal surface. Depending upon the set temperature or the duration of sonication, the baskets and objects may be hot! ...

Page 21: Further Information
Further information 4.3.1 Degassing Degassing the sonication fl uid increases the ultrasound effect. Freshly fi lled-in fl uid or fl uid that has remained in the oscillating tank for a longer period of time must be degassed prior to use. Gases dissolved in the fl uid (e.g. oxygen) are reduced through degassing and the ultrasound effect is thus signifi... -
Page 22: Maintenance And Cleaning
Maintenance and cleaning To achieve an optimum lifespan for the ultrasonic/rinsing bath, cleaning and maintenance should be conducted regularly. CAUTION! Disconnect the bath from the mains before each cleaning / maintenance. Do not rinse or immerse the ultrasonic bath in water and do not expose it to splash water. -
