Page 5: About These Operating Instructions
• Pay special attention to chapter 2 Safety. • If you pass this device on to others, please enclose these operating instructions. • Contact your specialist dealer or BANDELIN if any of your questions are not answered in these operating instructions. Information on service can be found in chapter 6.3 Repair. -
Page 6: Safety
Safety Safety Use of the device The devices are intended for the sonication of aqueous liquids. The sonication of non-aqueous or flammable liquids is not permitted. The devices work on the basis of low-frequency ultrasound and can be used in a variety of ways. Their main application is the gentle and intensive cleaning of objects of diverse shapes, types and sizes. -
Page 7: Harmful To Health Due To Ultrasound Noise
Safety Harmful to health due to ultrasound noise The ultrasound noise typical of the process can be perceived as very unpleasant. Remaining within a radius of 5 m for an extended period of time may cause damage to health. • Wear suitable hearing protection. •... -
Page 8: Danger Due To Agents Used
Safety Danger due to agents used Agents used in the device can be toxic or caustic. They can irritate the eyes, skin and mucous membranes. The vapours and aerosols can also be dangerous. • Wear gloves and safety goggles when handling hazardous agents. •... -
Page 9: Erosion Of The Oscillating Tank
Safety Erosion of the oscillating tank The surface of the oscillating tank is subject to erosion. How quickly this erosion takes place depends on the usage of the device. The erosion leads to leaks in the oscillating tank. Bath liquid can thus leak into the interior of the device. Moisture on electrical components can lead to an electric shock or fire. -
Page 10: Interference With Wireless Communication
Safety 2.11 Interference with wireless communication The device may interfere with other wireless communication devices 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 device. -

Page 14: Preparation For Operation
Preparation for operation Preparation for operation Installation site requirements The installation location of the device must meet the following conditions: • The installation surface must be horizontal, firm and dry. • The load-bearing capacity must be sufficient for the device with sonication fluid. For weight and work content, see chapter 8.1 Technical data. -
Page 15: Performing A Function Test
Preparation for operation Performing a function test Requirement • The device has adapted to the climatic conditions at the setup location for at least 2 hours. Procedure Make sure that the device is switched off. If present, the rotary knob to set the ultrasound duration must be set to “0”. If present, the rotary knob to set the heater temperature must be set to “°C”. -
Page 16: Operation
The ultrasound agent used must foster cavitation and be biodegradable, 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, see chapter 10 Appendix. -
Page 17: Sonication Time
Operation Sonication time NOTICE Risk of damage to the objects to be treated Prolonged sonication can damage the surface of sonication objects. - Select the shortest possible sonication time. The optimum sonication time depends on a number of factors: • type and concentration of the agent, •... - Page 18 Operation Fig. 7 Filling the oscillating tank 1 Filling level mark 2 Overflow gutter 3 Rotary knob to adjust the heater temperature 4 Rotary knob to set the ultrasound duration Requirements • The 3-way ball valve must be closed • The ball valve on the overflow must be shut. •...

Page 19: 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 power outlet with an earthed socket. Procedure Place the lid (if present) on the device. Rotate the rotary knob for the ultrasound duration to the desired sonication time or to the ∞ symbol for continuous operation. -
Page 20: Switching The Heater On And Off
Operation Switching the heater on and off WARNING Risk of scalding During heating, vapour bubbles can rise explosively under certain conditions (retardation of boiling). - Stir the sonication liquid occasionally during heating or switch on the ultrasound. Heated sonication fluid intensifies the effect of the ultrasound. Experience has shown that the best results are obtained with a temperature of 50 to 60 °C. -
Page 21: Inserting Objects To Be Treated
Operation Inserting objects to be treated WARNING Overloading Do not overload baskets or accessories. Moving heavy baskets can cause physical injury. To achieve good results, observe the following instructions when inserting objects for sonication: • Before each round of sonication, check that the sonication fluid is not contaminated. If contamination is visible, replace the sonication fluid. -
Page 22: Emptying The Oscillating Tank
Operation Rinse sonication objects with clean water. Do not leave sonication objects in the sonication fluid for too long. This can damage the objects. 5.10 Emptying the oscillating tank WARNING Danger of electric shock - 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 device to empty it. -
Page 23: Troubleshooting A Malfunction
Operation 5.11 Troubleshooting a malfunction Problem Possible causes Troubleshooting Insufficient • Sonication fluid • Degas the sonication fluid. See chapter 5.7 Degassing the ultrasound effect, contains gases. loud noises sonication fluid. • There are too many • Reduce the number of objects to sonication objects in be treated. -
Page 24: Maintenance
Maintenance Maintenance Cleaning and maintenance of the device Cleaning the housing • Wipe the housing with a damp cloth. Wipe dry with a soft cloth. • Do not use abrasive cleaning agents, only care products without scouring additives. • If necessary, disinfect the housing with a suitable surface disinfectant. Care of the oscillating tank Impurities in the oscillating tank accelerate the tank’s wear, can lead to corrosion and reduce the ultrasound effect. - Page 25 Maintenance Checking indicator lights Check the operation of the indicator lights. • Briefly switch on the ultrasound. » The green indicator light will remain lit as long as the ultrasound is switched on. • Switch on the heater briefly with the rotary knob set to above 30 °C. »...
