Page 5: Quick Guide
Quick guide Pour cold water into the bath so that it submerses the level sensor (Do not overfill). Add the required dose of detergent (see page 21). In order to save the cycle data to the memory card, ensure that the memory card is installed in the port prior to Fluid level sensor turning the machine on (see page 19). -
Page 6: Controls
Controls Ensure your Q-Series ultrasonic bath is plugged into a 220-240 VAC fully earthed supply. Once plugged in, switch on your Q-Series bath via the power on/off switch at the rear of the unit. The switch will then illuminate. The Q-Series is operated through a menu driven control system: KEY 3 KEY 4 KEY 2... -
Page 7: Operating Instructions
Operating instructions When the Q-Series power is turned on and the bath is full of liquid, the following screens will display alternately. When the water temperature is at or above the temperature set, the message “Temp OK” will display. The actual temperature in the bath will vary and will be different to the value shown in the screen above. - Page 8 When the Q-Series power is turned on and the liquid level is too low, the following screen will display. When the bath is filled with liquid to the correct level, you will be given the option to degas. (The need for degassing is explained on page 24). You will need to degas the liquid to ensure good cleaning efficacy.

Page 9: Operator Menu
Operator menu A number of the Q-Series cleaning parameters can be altered. To access the options menu and scroll through the various changeable parameters, press the MENU key, when the following screen is displayed. To scroll through the menu, press the MENU key. To exit the MENU at any time, press the ... - Page 10 Screen 1: Setting the temperature Your Q-Series is fitted with a thermostat and heaters to ensure the temperature of the cleaning fluid is maintained at the set temperature. Use the UP and DOWN keys to accurately set the desired temperature of the cleaning fluid between 1°C and 70°C.
- Page 11 Screen 2: Setting the cycle time Your Q-Series ultrasonic bath is factory preset with a cycle time of 15 minutes. Use this screen to amend the cycle time. Use the UP and DOWN keys to scroll through the numbers in order to increase or decrease the time.
- Page 12 Screen 4: Degas As well as the automatic degas function that you are offered when the machine is first turned on, this menu function allows you to run a degas cycle whenever a cleaning cycle is initiated. Use the ON and OFF keys to select the required option. (See page 26 for the importance of degassing.) If you turn the degas function ON, your Q-Series ultrasonic bath will run a degas cycle every time the cycle start key is depressed.
- Page 13 Screen 5: Frequency Leap Your Q-Series ultrasonic bath is equipped with Frequency LEAP technology to provide more homogeneous ultrasonic cleaning activity throughout the whole tank. Using advanced software and generators, the Q-Series uses Frequency LEAP to create a pseudo-random leaping action between a wider frequency range, reducing standing waves and improving the cleaning action.

Page 14: Starting The Cycle
Starting the cycle Once all the Operator Menu options have been selected, the following screen will display. Q-Series is now ready for use. Press the key to begin the cleaning cycle. When the Q-Series is in operation, the following screen will display. (This screen is only an example. -
Page 15: Advanced Menu
Advanced menu The Advanced Menu allows different settings to be specified which may not require regular changes and also allows the usage history of the individual Q-Series ultrasonic bath to be seen. To access the advanced menu, press and hold Keys 3 and 4 together. The following screen will then appear: KEY 3 KEY 4... - Page 16 Screen 2: Time used This screen shows the total time your Q-Series ultrasonic bath has been in use in days, hours and minutes; i.e. the sum of all the cleaning cycle times since new. For example, the screen above shows that the bath has been in use for a total of 2 days, 5 hours and 27 minutes.
- Page 17 Screen 4: Cycle Count The second screen shows the number of cycles which the Q-Series ultrasonic bath has run since new. The cycle count shows all cycles which the bath has begun and includes those cycles which are not completed; i.e. those cycles aborted by the operator or because the fluid level was low.
- Page 18 Screen 6: Fluid level sensor Q-Series ultrasonic bath is fitted with a fluid level sensor to ensure it is not under-filled prior to or during the cycle. This ensures that the optimum cleaning process can occur and potential damage to the tank is minimised. The level sensor is a resistive device, so will not detect fluids with very low conductivity such as pure deionised (DI) water.
- Page 19 Screen 7: Portable appliance testing Q-Series ultrasonic bath is provided with this screen to make portable appliance testing easier. When the ON button is pressed, both the heater and the ultrasonic generator will turn on, irrespective of any other programmed settings. You will then be sure that the Q-Series ultrasonic bath is operating in the mode required for accurate portable appliance testing.
