GENERAL

2.1.

Intended purpose / lifetime

The USC ultrasonic cleaning units were especially developed for cleaning tasks in laboratory facilities of commercial
use.
The expected life time of the USC ultrasonic cleaning units depends basically on the quality of maintenance and
cleaning. With proper use, maintenance, cleaning and any necessary repairs a lifetime of five years can be expected.
This does not include consumables such as cable / connectors, cleaning baskets and similar.
Only accessories which are approved by or can be obtained from the manufacturer have to be used.
2.2.

Cleaning liquid

The cleaning liquid which has to be used depends on the material of the items to be cleaned and the type of soiling.
Please contact the supplier of the cleaning agent.

START-UP

•
Check if the mains connection, which must have a protective earth conductor, confirms with the specification on
the rating label of your device.
•
Connect the power socket (circular connector at the cable) to the flange connector at the rear of the unit and lock
the connection by turning the cap nut. The cap nut must latch noticeably and needs to be disconnected in locked
condition with increased force only.
If the power cord is already installed to the unit, check if it is locked properly as described before.
•
The ultrasonic cleaning unit must be located on a dry, hard and flat horizontal surface.
•
Fill the cleaning tank with a suitable cleaning liquid depending on the application. The level must be at least 7/8 of
volume (approx. up to the seam).
Take note of the respective safety regulations for handling chemicals.
•
Connect the ultrasonic cleaning unit to the mains, when the display lights up, the unit is ready for operation.
WARNING:
To avoid risk of electric shock, this equipment must only be connected to supply mains with
E
protective earth.
Take special note on using the proper power cable and/or adapter for the available power outlet.
As a result of the design, the EU connector (CEE 7/7) fits mechanically into the DK socket outlet
(Denmark) but does not connect the protective earth conductor (PE).
Adapters are one-time mountable only and cannot be removed after applying to the connector.
Therefore be sure to mount the proper adapter.
WARNING:
The power plug is used to disconnect the unit from mains.
The used power outlet must be permanently accessible and must not be covered by the unit or any
other objects, so the mains plug can be unplugged at any time.
