Preparation for operation Fig. 3 Removing standard horn or booster horn 1. Unscrew the standard horn or booster horn by hand. 2. Clean the mounting surfaces of the ultrasonic converter and the standard horn or booster horn, as well as the thread of the threaded pin, with a lint- free cloth soaked in alcohol.
Preparation for operation 4.4 Switching the device on and off Switching on the ultrasonic homogeniser for the first time Allow the device to stand for 2 hours at its operating location before switching it on so that it can adapt to the climatic conditions. 1.
Operation 5 Operation 5.1 Immersion depth notes The recommended immersion depth for probes is 10 ... 20 mm, to prevent the aspiration and mixing-in of air. If mixed-in air is desired, the probe may be immersed just a few millimetres. When producing emulsions, the probe should be immersed to the height of the surface separating the liquids to be mixed.
Operation 5.2.2 Enter sonication time 1. On the startup screen, tap "Parameters". 2. Tap on "Time". 3. Make the desired settings for the sonication time. » A time setting is only effective if "Continuous operation" is not activated. 4. Confirm your entry with the "Confirm/Save" button. 5.2.3 Set pulsation The sonication can be switched on continuously or in pulses.
Operation 5.3 Start sonication Requirement • The probe tip is immersed in the sonicating medium; see 5.1 Immersion depth notes. 1. On the startup screen, tap the "Start" button. » The “Sonication” screen appears. » The preselected sonication parameters are displayed; see 5.2 Preselect parameters for sonication 2.
Operation 5.4.3 Activating and deactivating a program Activating a program 1. On the startup screen, tap "Programs". » The "Programs" overview screen is shown. 2. Tap on a program number. 3. If a screen with the summary of the program parameters appears, tap "Edit". 4.
Operation 5.4.4 Starting a program To start set and activated programs in the specified sequence, proceed as fol- lows: Requirement • The probe tip is immersed in the sonicating medium; see 5.1 Immersion depth notes. • At least one program is activated and a space is assigned in the sequence; see 5.4.3 Activating and deactivating a program.
Operation 5.5 Creating documentation Activate logging Information The logs are also generated without connection of a USB device. They can be exported later, as long as the device has not been switched off in the meantime. The logs are lost when the device is switched off. 1.
Operation 5.6 Set settings 5.6.1 Adjusting the button function You can specify whether the button on the ultrasonic converter must be held down in order to activate the ultrasound, or whether it is switched on and off by pressing briefly. 1.
Operation 5.6.5 Set sleep mode To save energy, the device will go into a sleep mode after a while. The touch- screen switches off in sleep mode. Wake up the device by tapping the touch- screen. The time of inactivity after which the sleep mode starts can be adjusted. 1.
