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 device 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: Danger Of Electric Shock
Safety Danger of electric shock The ultrasound bath is an electrical device. Failure to follow safety rules can result in a life-threatening electric shock. • Protect the ultrasound bath from moisture and wetness. Keep the surface and controls clean and dry. •... -
Page 8: Hazards Due To High Temperature
Safety Hazards due to high temperature The ultrasound bath, the sonication fluid and the sonication objects can become hot during operation. Contact with these products may cause burns. The temperature can be set at up to 80 °C. Ultrasound energy warms up the sonication fluid even without additional heating. -
Page 9: Danger Due To Ultrasound
Safety Danger due to ultrasound The strong ultrasound in the ultrasound bath destroys cell struc- tures. If a body part is immersed in the sonication fluid during oper- ation, this can lead not just to skin damage, but also to internal tissue damage. -
Page 10: Erosion Of The Oscillating Tank
Safety these substances are exceeded, the sonication liquid must be pro- cessed or disposed of as special waste. Observe local wastewater regulations. 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. -
Page 11: Preventing Damage To The Ultrasound Bath
Safety 2.10 Preventing damage to the ultrasound bath • Only use aggressive preparations in inset beakers or insert tubs. When working with aggressive preparations, avoid splashing in the contact liquid or on the stainless steel surface. Immediately replace contaminated sonication fluid. Clean surfaces and wipe them dry. -

Page 14: 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 liquid. Cavitation bubbles are formed at the pressure minima. At higher ambient pressure around the bubbles, they collapse very quickly. -
Page 15: 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 liquid. -
Page 16: Conduct A Function Test
Preparation for operation Conduct a function test Requirement • The ultrasound bath has adapted to the climatic conditions at the installation site for at least 2? ° ? h ours. Procedure 1. Make sure that the ultrasound bath is switched off. The turning knob to set the ultrasound duration must be set to “0”. -
Page 17: Operation
Operation 5 Operation Direct and indirect sonication Objects can be sonicated directly or indirectly in the ultrasound bath. Direct sonication is the standard procedure. The objects to be treated are introduced in the oscillating tank with suitable accesso- ries, e.g. a basket. There they have direct contact with the sonica- tion liquid. -
Page 18: Sonication Liquid
Operation Sonication liquid A solution made from water and a special ultrasound agent is used as the sonication liquid. Drinking water or demineralised water can be used for the water. Water without any additives is unsuitable for sonication. Use of demineralised water without an ultrasound agent leads to increased erosion of the ultrasonic oscillating tank. -
Page 19: Pour In Sonication Liquid
Operation • Type of soiling • Type of goods to be treated, in particular materials Note the information on the recommended sonication time from the agent manufacturer. To begin with, select as short a sonication time as possible to protect the objects to be sonicated and the ultrasonic oscillating tank. - Page 20 Operation °C 1 m in Fig. 5 Fill oscillating tank Turning knob to adjust the heating temperature Filling level mark 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.

Page 21: Switching The Sonication On And Off
Operation Switching the sonication on and off Requirements • The oscillating tank is filled. • The mains plug is plugged into a socket with earthing contact. Procedure 1. If there is a lid, place it on the ultrasound bath. 2. Rotate the turning knob for the ultrasound duration to the desired sonication time or to the ∞... -
Page 22: Switching The Heating On And Off
Operation Switching the heating on and off Applies to all devices with heating. WARNING Risk of scalding During heating, vapour bubbles can rise explosively under certain conditions (boiling delay). – Stir the sonication liquid occasionally during heating or switch on the ultrasound. Heated sonication liquid intensifies the effect of the ultrasound. -
Page 23: Degassing Sonication Fluid
Operation – The switch lights up when the heating is on, even if the target temperature has been reached. – The temperature control is permanently set at 65 °C. Heating on single-light models Turn on the heating by turning the knob to the desired tempera- ture. -
Page 24: Insert Objects To Be Treated
Operation Insert objects to be treated To achieve good results, observe the following instructions when inserting objects for sonication: • Before each round of sonication, check that the sonication liquid is not contaminated. If contamination is visible, replace the soni- cation liquid. -
Page 25: Remove Treated Objects
Operation Remove treated objects WARNING Risk of burns The sonication fluid, objects to be treated, the surface of the ultra- sound bath and accessories may be very hot. – Do not touch the surface of the ultrasound bath or accessories such as the lid. -
Page 26: 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 30: Performing The Foil Test
Maintenance Performing the foil test Before the first use and at regular intervals, e.g. every 3 months, a foil test should be conducted. This serves to ensure the consistent effect of the ultrasound. The frequency with which these tests are carried out is your responsibility. - Page 31 Maintenance 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 32 Maintenance 7. The foil must be perforated, see image. Else, we recommend having the device checked by the Service department at BAN- DELIN electronic GmbH & Co. KG: See chapter 6.4 Repair. 8. Archive the foil with the test date and serial number of the ultrasonic bath.
