Page 5: About This Operating Manual
• If you pass this ultrasound bath on to others, please enclose these instructions for use. • Contact your specialist dealer or BANDELIN if any of your ques- tions are not answered in these instructions for use. Information on service can be found in chapter 6.4 Repair. -
Page 6: Safety
Safety 2 Safety Use of the ultrasound bath The following applications are possible with the ultrasound bath: • Ultrasonic cleaning of objects of various shapes, types and sizes, • Homogenising, emulsifying, • Rapid degassing of liquids, • Sonochemical applications, e.g. for radical production or improved material transport, •... - Page 7 Pregnancy is not a contraindication for using the ultrasound bath. Serious incidents must be reported to BANDELIN electronic GmbH & Co. KG and to the competent author- ities. 7/52...

Page 8: Prevention Of Cross-Contamination And Infection
Safety Prevention of cross-contamination and infec- tion If the ultrasound bath is used in the medical field, regularly clean and disinfect the surfaces of the device with a surface disinfectant that has at least bactericidal, yeasticidal and limited virucidal prop- erties, in order to avoid cross-contamination. -
Page 9: Harmful To Health Due To Ultrasound Noise
Safety • Repairs should only be carried out by the manufacturer. See chapter 6.4 Repair. • Position the ultrasound bath so that it is easy to unplug the mains connection at any time and without difficulty. Harmful to health due to ultrasound noise The ultrasound noise typical of the process can be perceived as very unpleasant. -
Page 10: Danger Due To Ultrasound
Safety perature can rise to over 120 °C due to the energy input of the ultrasound. This can lead to fires and severe burns. • Do not use combustible, explosive, non-aqueous liquids (e.g. petrol, solvents) or mixtures with combustible liquids (e.g. alco- holic solutions) directly in the stainless steel oscillating tank. -
Page 11: Danger Due To Preparations Used
Safety Danger due to preparations used Preparations used in the ultrasound bath may be toxic or corrosive. They can irritate the eyes, skin and mucous membranes. Vapours and aerosols can also be dangerous. • Wear gloves and safety goggles when handling hazardous preparations. -
Page 12: Erosion Of The Oscillating Tank
Safety 2.11 Erosion of the oscillating tank The surface of the oscillating tank is subject to erosion. How quickly this erosion takes place depends on the use of the ultrasound bath. The erosion leads to leakage in the oscillating tank. Bath liquid can thus penetrate into the interior of the ultrasound bath. -
Page 13: Disturbance Of Wireless Communication
Safety 2.13 Disturbance of wireless communication The ultrasound bath may interfere with other wireless communica- tion ultrasound baths in the immediate vicinity, such as: • mobile phones, • WLAN devices, • Bluetooth devices. If interference occurs with the operation of a wireless device, move it further away from the ultrasound bath. -

Page 16: Function
Design and function Function The ultrasound bath uses cavitation triggered by low-frequency ultrasound. Piezoelectric oscillating systems are located on the underside of the oscillating tank. The ultrasound generates strong pressure fluctuations in the sonication fluid. Cavitation bubbles are formed at the pressure minima. At higher ambient pressure around the bubbles, they collapse very quickly. -
Page 17: Preparation For Operation
Preparation for operation 4 Preparation for operation Installation site requirements The installation location of the ultrasound bath must meet the fol- lowing conditions: • The installation surface must be horizontal, firm and dry. • The load-bearing capacity must be sufficient for the ultrasound bath with the sonication fluid. -
Page 18: Rinsing Out The Oscillating Tank
Preparation for operation 3. Briefly switch on the ultrasound. To do this, turn the knob to the right for the ultrasound duration, and turn it back to “0” after 1 to 2 seconds. Results » A distinct sound can be heard when the ultrasound is turned on. If there is no sound, contact Service. -
Page 19: Operation
The ultrasound agent used must foster cavitation and be biode- gradable, easy to dispose of, material-compatible and long-lasting. BANDELIN recommends ultrasound agents from the TICKOPUR, TICKOMED and STAMMOPUR product ranges from DR. H. STAMM GmbH. -
Page 20: Sonication Time
Operation • Telephone advice: +49 30 76880-280 • Internet: www.dr-stamm.de Observe the information on dosing provided by the ultrasound agent manufacturer. Please refer to the dosing table for the required quantities of ultrasound agent and water. See chapter 9 Dosing table. You can calculate the quantities yourself in the same way as the following example: 10 l ready to use solution, 2.5%:... -
Page 21: Pour In Sonication Fluid
Operation Pour in sonication fluid CAUTION Risk of scalding – Do not fill the oscillating tank with hot water. – Maximum filling temperature: 50 °C. NOTICE Damage caused by condensation in the ultrasound bath At high humidity, condensation forms inside the ultrasound bath when cold water is added. -
Page 22: Switching The Sonication On And Off
Operation Drain with ball valve (depending on model) Turning knob to set the ultrasound duration Requirements • For ultrasound baths with an outlet, the ball valve must be closed. • The ultrasound and heating must be turned off. Procedure 1. Fill ⁄... -
Page 23: Switching The Heating On And Off
Operation Information – You can turn the knob in both directions. – You can extend, shorten or switch off the sonication at any time. – The timer only works if mains voltage is present. Without mains voltage, the locking of the turning knob can hardly be felt. Switching the heating on and off Concerns the following ultrasound baths: •... - Page 24 Operation • Preheating during the degassing of the sonication fluid is opti- mal. See chapter 5.7 Degassing sonication fluid. • To preheat, remove the basket or other accessories from the oscillating tank. Cover the oscillating tank with the lid, if availa- ble.
-
Page 25: Degassing Sonication Fluid
Operation Degassing sonication fluid Sonication fluid that has been freshly filled or left in the ultrasonic oscillating tank must be degassed before use. Degassing the soni- cation fluid increases the effect of the ultrasound. • Cover the ultrasonic oscillating tank with the lid if available. •... -
Page 26: Remove Treated Objects
Operation only works where the fluid is in contact with the goods to be treated or the inset beaker. • Position the side with greater soiling so it is facing downwards. Insert objects with joints (e.g. scissors or tongs) in open condi- tion so that the whole surface is optimally reached by the soni- cation fluid. -
Page 27: Empty The Oscillating Tank
Operation 5.10 Empty the oscillating tank WARNING Danger of electric shock – Disconnect the mains plug before lifting the ultrasound bath. – Do not place the ultrasound bath in a sink for emptying. – Make sure that no liquid can get into the housing. CAUTION Hot sonication fluid and oscillating tank There is a risk of burns when lifting the ultrasound bath to empty it. -

Page 31: Performing The Foil Test
Maintenance Checking the ultrasound effect Check the effect of the ultrasound upon putting into service and at regular intervals. A check every 3 months is recommended. See chapter 6.3 Performing the foil test. Performing the foil test Before the first use and at regular intervals, e.g. every 3 months, a foil test should be conducted. - Page 32 To document the test results, you can download a documentation template here: https:/ /bandelin.com/folientest/ Here you will also find an application video. Foils can also be archived if done in a suitable manner (scanning, photos, etc.). This allows foils to be compared at any time.
- Page 33 9. Rinse the oscillating tank thoroughly to remove any detached 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. Aluminium foil is additionally required to perform the test as it is not included in the delivery.
