• In particular, please observe chapter 2 Safety. • If you pass on this ultrasonic bath, include this operating manual. • Contact your specialist dealer or BANDELIN if you have any questions that are not answered in this operating manual. You will find information on our ser- vice department in chapter 6.4 Repair.
Table of contents 2 Safety 2.1 Using the ultrasonic bath The ultrasonic bath can used for the following applications: • Ultrasonic cleaning of objects of all shapes, types and sizes • Homogenisation, emulsification • Rapid degassing of liquids • Sonochemical applications, e.g. for radical generation or for improved material transport •...
Safety • The ultrasonic bath is not suitable for the cleaning and disinfection of contact lenses. • The direct sonication of inflammable liquids is not permitted. Possible side effects/restrictions • Ultrasound does not disinfect. However, processes, e.g. chemical disinfection, can be accelerated in the ultrasonic bath. •...
Safety • If you discover a fault on the ultrasonic bath, disconnect the mains plug immediately. Do not connect a faulty ultrasonic bath to the mains. • Have repairs performed only by the manufacturer. See chapter 6.4 Repair. 2.6 Damage to health due to ultrasonic noise Some people may find the typical ultrasonic noise produced during processing very unpleasant.
Safety 2.8 Danger from ultrasound High ultrasonic levels like those reached in the ultrasonic bath destroy cell struc- tures. If part of the body is immersed in the sonication fluid during operation, this can cause damage to skin and also damage to internal tissue. The periosteum of finger bones can be damaged.
Safety 2.11 Erosion of the ultrasonic oscillating tank The surface of the ultrasonic oscillating tank is subject to erosion. How quickly this erosion takes place depends on the usage of the ultrasonic bath. The erosion leads to leaks in the ultrasonic oscillating tank. Sonication fluid can thus leak into the interior of the ultrasonic bath.
Safety 2.13 Interference with wireless communication The ultrasonic bath can cause interference in nearby wireless communication devices, e.g.: • Mobile phones • WiFi devices • Bluetooth devices If interference with the functions of a wireless device occurs, increase its distance from the ultrasonic bath.

The ultrasound agent used must foster cavitation and be biodegradable, easy to dispose of, material-compatible and long-lasting. BANDELIN recommends ultra- sound agents from the TICKOPUR, TICKOMED and STAMMOPUR product ranges from DR. H. STAMM GmbH.
Operation 10 l x 2,5 % = 0,25 l agent 100 % 10 l - 0,25 l = 9,75 l water 5.3 Sonication time NOTICE Risk of damage to the goods to be treated Excessively long sonication can damage the surface of the goods to be treated. –...

Operation NOTICE If you use an agent in powder form, do not pour it directly into the ultrasonic oscillating tank. – Mix agents in powder form in another container before you pour them into the ultrasonic oscillating tank. – Only pour the agent into the ultrasonic oscillating tank once it has dissolved completely.
Operation 4. The insert tub must be filled with sonication fluid until it no longer floats. Fur- thermore, the insert tub needs to be filled at least until the goods to be treated are covered with sonication fluid. Result » The ultrasonic bath is ready to switch on. 5.5 Switching sonication on and off –...
Operation Information – The ultrasound switches off automatically as soon as only the “0” LED is lit up. In continuous operation, the green LED next to the ∞ symbol lights up con- tinuously. The ultrasound does not switch off automatically. –...
Operation • Check the filling level. The goods to be treated must be completely submerged in the fluid. Inset beakers for indirect sonication need to be submerged at least 2 cm in the sonication fluid. • Remove air bubbles from cavities. Rotate the objects accordingly. Remove air bubbles under inset beakers.
Operation 5.11 Enabling and blocking continuous operation – ST 30 DT The function can be blocked to prevent accidental activation of continuous opera- tion. Requirement • The mains plug is disconnected. Procedure Press and hold down the button for setting the sonication time. At the same time, insert the mains plug into an earthed mains socket.
Maintenance 6 Maintenance 6.1 Cleaning and care of the ultrasonic bath Cleaning the ultrasonic generator housing • Damp wipe the housing. Wipe it dry with a soft cloth. • Do not use any abrasive cleaning products, only care products without scour- ing additives.
Maintenance Procedure 1. Hold down the start/stop button and press the on/off button. » All LEDs light up briefly one after the other. Then all LEDs light up at the same time. 2. Press the start/stop button twice. » The sonication time that was set last is then displayed again on the time scale.

9. Rinse the ultrasonic oscillating tank thoroughly to remove loose foil particles. You can order suitable foil test frames from BANDELIN electronic GmbH & Co. KG. The foil test frames are configured for a wide range of tank dimensions. Alumin- ium foil is additionally required to perform the test as it is not included in the delivery.
Fill in the form and attach it to the outside of the packaging so it is clearly visible. The package will not be accepted without the com- pleted form. Send the ultrasonic bath to the following address: BANDELIN electronic GmbH & Co. KG Heinrichstr. 3–4 12207 Berlin Germany...
Disposal 7 Disposal WARNING Risk to health due to contaminated ultrasonic bath – Decontaminate the ultrasonic bath before disposal if it has come into contact with hazardous substances. – Also decontaminate accessories before disposal. Dispose of the ultrasonic bath properly as electronic scrap if it can no longer be used.
