Maintenance - Ultrawave Neon Series Instruction Manual

Maintenance

It is important to keep your Neon Series clean. Not only will contaminated liquid
reduce the performance of the ultrasonic cleaning system, it may also damage it.
Change the cleaning liquid regularly. Your cleaning process will determine how often to
change the liquid – the more soiled your items, the more often you will need to change
the liquid.
Before cleaning the Neon Series always switch it off and disconnect it from the power
supply and allow it to cool down to less than 40°C.
Clean the Neon Series, by opening the drain valves and flushing with clean water. If
necessary, use a non-abrasive cloth to clean the tank and other surfaces.
Transducers, bonded to the base of the tank, generate ultrasonic activity by vibrating
at very high speeds. If any contaminants are in contact with the tank, they can act as
an abrasive, and will cause wear on the metal surface. In extreme cases, the tank can
develop holes and start to leak.
Reduced flow in the recirculation system or decreased cleanliness of the fluid will
indicate that the filter cartridges need to be replaced. The pump and filtration system
should therefore be checked regularly to determine when these need to be replaced.
See the 'Draining the tank' section for more information on page 13.
Portable Appliance Testing should be conducted with water in the tank.
