• Should these operating instructions leave any questions unanswered, please contact your specialist dealer or BANDELIN. Notes on service can be found in section 6.4 Repairs. In the event that the translation cannot be understood, the German original version of BANDELIN must be followed.
Safety Safety Using the device You can use the device for the following applications: • Ultrasonic cleaning of objects of various shapes, types and sizes • Homogenisation, emulsification • Rapidly degassing liquids • Sonochemical applications, e.g., for generating radicals or for improved substance transport •...
Being pregnant is not a contraindication to operating the device. Obligation to report serious incidents Report serious incidents to BANDELIN electronic GmbH und Co. KG and the competent authority. Avoidance of cross-contamination and infections...
Safety • Disconnect the device from the mains before any cleaning or maintenance. • Only connect the device to a socket with an earthed protective contact that matches the protective contact of the device's plug. WARNING Note for unit with type E+F jack: Combination with socket type K (especially common in Denmark) is not permitted.
Safety • Small amounts of combustible liquids in sample vessels can be indirectly sonicated. Before exposing combustible liquids to sonication, familiarise yourself with the necessary safety measures and applicable regulations when handling these liquids. Danger due to ultrasound Strong ultrasound, like that produced in the device, destroys cell structures. If a body part is immersed in the sonication fluid during operation, this can damage both the skin and the internal tissue.
Safety 2.12 Erosion of the ultrasonic oscillating tank The surface of the ultrasonic oscillating tank is subject to erosion. How quickly this erosion takes place depends on how the device is used. The erosion leads to leakage points in the oscillating tray. This allows bath liquid to enter the interior of the device. Moisture on electrical components can cause an electric shock or fire.

Set-up/assembly Set-up/assembly The device was assembled by authorised specialist personnel based on the assembly instructions. 13 / 36 6486-002 en/2024-02...
The ultrasonic agent used must be cavitation conducive, biodegradable, easy to dispose of, gentle to material and long-lasting. BANDELIN recommends ultrasonic agents belonging to the TICKOPUR, TICKOMED and STAMMOPUR product series from DR. H. STAMM GmbH.
Operation Sonication time NOTICE Danger of damage to the goods to be treated Excessive sonication can damage the surface of the goods to be treated. – Choose the shortest possible sonication time. The optimal sonication time depends on a number of factors: •...

Operation Result » The device is ready to be switched on. Switching sonication on and off – ST 15.1 Requirements • The ultrasonic oscillating tank is filled. • The mains plug is plugged into an earthed wall socket. Procedure If present, place the lid on the ultrasonic bath. 2. Rotate the turning knob for the ultrasound duration to the desired duration or to the ∞...
Operation Press the button to configure the sonication time until you reach the desired sonication time or the ∞ symbol for continuous operation appears. Press the Start/Stop button. » The ultrasound is switched on. The ultrasonic noise can be heard. » The LEDs display the remaining sonication time second by second. To switch off sonication, press the Start/Stop button.
Operation Adding goods to be treated To achieve a good result, observe the following information when adding goods to be treated: • Before each sonication process, check to ensure the sonication fluid is not contaminated. If there is visible contamination, replace the sonication fluid. •...
Operation Removing goods to be treated WARNING Risk of burns The sonication fluid, goods to be treated, the surface of the device and accessories can be very hot. – Do not touch the surface of the device or accessories such as the lid. Do not reach into the sonication fluid.
Operation 5.11 Enabling and disabling continuous operation – ST 30.1 DT To avoid continuous operation being accidentally switched on, you can lock this function. Requirement • The mains plug is unplugged. Procedure Press and hold the button to adjust the sonication time. At the same time, plug the mains plug into the mains socket.
Maintenance Maintenance Cleaning and caring for the device Cleaning the housing of the ultrasonic generator • Wipe the housing with a damp cloth. Wipe it dry with a soft cloth. • Do not use abrasive cleaning agents; only use care products free from abrasive additives. •...

Maintenance Performing the foil test A foil test should be carried out before first use and at regular intervals, e.g., every 3 months. This serves to ensure a consistent effect on the part of the ultrasound. You are responsible for how often this test is performed. The foil test is a simple method for displaying the intensity and distribution of cavitation in a device.
Page 25
The foil must be perforated, see picture. Otherwise, we recommend having the unit checked by the service team of BANDELIN electronic GmbH & Co. KG: See chapter 6.4 Repairs. Archive the foil with the test date and serial number of the device.
Page 26
Maintenance Suitable foil test frames can be ordered from BANDELIN electronic GmbH & Co. KG. The foil test frames are designed for a wide range of tank dimensions. Aluminium foil is also required for the test procedure; this is not included in the scope of delivery.
Fill out the form and attach it so as to be clearly visible on the outside of the packaging. Acceptance will be refused without a completed form. Send the unit to the following address: BANDELIN electronic GmbH & Co. KG Heinrichstr. 3–4 12207 Berlin...
