Screw the hose connector into the drain valve at the rear of the unit. Locate the QSx close to a drain or sink. -
Page 5: Controls
Controls Ensure your QSx ultrasonic bath is plugged into a 230 VAC fully earthed supply. Once plugged in, switch on your QSx bath via the power on/off switch at the rear of the unit. The switch will then illuminate. The QSx is operated through a menu driven control system: KEY 3 KEY 4 KEY 1... -
Page 6: Quick Guide
Quick guide Pour cold water into the bath up to the “FILL TO” line (Do not overfill). Add the required dose of detergent (see page 23). Switch on the machine via the switch at the rear of the unit, just above the electrical mains lead. -
Page 7: Detailed Operating Instructions
Detailed Operating instructions When the 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 power is turned on and the liquid level is too low, the following screen will display. The level sensor can be disabled for specialist cleaning applications where deionised (DI) water is used (see page 20). When the bath is filled with liquid to the correct level, you will be given the option to degas.
-
Page 9: Programme Menu
Programme menu A number of the QSx 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 QSx is fitted with a thermostat and heaters to ensure the temperature of the cleaning liquid is maintained at the set temperature. Use the UP and DOWN keys to accurately set the desired temperature of the cleaning liquid between 5°C and 70°C.
- Page 11 Screen 2: Setting the cycle time Your QSx 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 of up to 99 minutes.
- Page 12 Screen 4: Degas Your QSx ultrasonic bath is factory pre-set with the degas function to ON. This function is automatically offered when the machine is first turned on, allowing you to run a degas cycle whenever a cleaning cycle is initiated. Use the ON and OFF keys to select the required option.
- Page 13 Screen 5: Frequency Leap Your QSx 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 QSx 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. The QSx is now ready for use. Press the key to begin the cleaning cycle. When the QSx is in operation, the following screen will display. (This screen is only an example. -
Page 15: Cycle Abort Modes
Cycle abort modes If the cycle is aborted, the reason for the failure will be displayed. If the operator aborts the cycle, the following screen will be displayed. If the Level sensor is set to ON (see page 20), and the liquid drops below the required level during operation, the cleaning cycle will stop and the following screen will be displayed. -
Page 16: Cycle Abort Modes
Cycle abort modes If the liquid temperature exceeds the allowed maximum of 70°C, the following screen will be displayed If the internal heater exceeds its allowed maximum temperature, the following screen will be displayed If the unit overheats due to prolonged use, the following message will be displayed In each instance of a cycle abort, the cycle count in the Advanced Menu will still log the cycle as complete. -
Page 17: 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 QSx 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 18 Screen 2: Time used This screen shows the total time your QSx 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 19 Screen 4: Cycle Count The second screen shows the number of cycles which the QSx 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 liquid level was low.
- Page 20 Screen 6: Liquid level sensor The QSx ultrasonic bath is fitted with a liquid 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 liquids with very low conductivity such as pure deionised (DI) water.
- Page 21 WARNING Setting the liquid level sensor to OFF means that the QSx ultrasonic bath will operate as if the bath were full of liquid. This means that without water, the heaters will continue to operate and the surface inside the bath will become extremely hot. It is therefore the operator’s responsibility to ensure that the tank is filled with sufficient water when the liquid level sensor is disabled.
- Page 22 Screen 7: Portable appliance testing The QSx 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 QSx ultrasonic bath is operating in the mode required for accurate portable appliance testing.
