Operation And Rinsing (Tank 2); Drying (Tank 3) - Omegasonics Viking PDX3 Operation & Instruction Manual

Machine Operation (Tank 2)
 To activate the ultrasound, turn the switch marked SONICS to the ON position. The

 Before cleaning your first batch of items, operate the ultrasound for fifteen (15)
minutes. This process is called degassing and helps eliminate any air from the
water in the tank.

To deactivate the ultrasound before the timer has completed its cycle, turn selector
switch to the RESET position. The selector switch will spring back to the center
position.
Ultrasonic Rinsing (Tank 2)
 When lowering the items into the tank via baskets or tongs, be sure to arrange the
items so they are not touching the bottom of the tank. They should be suspended at
least ½" above the tank bottom. This can be achieved with the use of a tank rack.
 Items should not be stacked too densely.
 The volume of parts to be rinsed should not exceed thirty percent (30%) of the total
tank volume.
 Ultrasonic rinse times will vary depending on the temperature of the solution and the
number of parts to be rinsed. Generally, (3) to five (5) minutes is sufficient.
 After completion of the ultrasonic rinse process, remove the items via basket and
transfer to Tank 3 (Drying Chamber).
 If parts must be handled, wear gloves when touching surfaces to protect against
heated items
