  • Page 5 Substances (ROHS) Other For indoor use only The Power Cord supplied with the OM100 Ultrasonic Homogenizer must be used. If the 220V plug is not configured to match the wall receptacle, a properly grounded universal AC socket adapter must be added.

  • Page 6: Principles Of Operation

    4. PRINCIPLES OF OPERATION The OM100 ultrasonic power supply transforms AC line power to a 20 KHz signal that drives a piezoelectric converter/transducer. This electrical signal is converted by the transducer to a mechanical vibration due to the characteristics of the internal piezo- electric crystals.
  • Page 7 The OM100 ultrasonic homogenizer was designed to deliver constant amplitude to your liquid sample, regardless of these changes in load (much like the vehicle’s cruise control described above). As a liquid is processed, the load on the probe will vary due to changes in the liquid sample (i.e., viscosity, concentration, temperature, etc.).

    7.3. OPERATION Press the ON ON key. The screen will display the power rating of the OM100 Ultrasonic Ho- mogenizer and the following control parameters. AMPLITUDE: Desired amplitude must be set in order for the OM100 Ultrasonic Homog- enizer to be operational. The other control parameters – Time and Pulse, do not have to be set for continuous operation.
  • Page 15 1. To set the processing time, press the TIMER key. The screen will display: 2. Using the numeric keys, set the processing time as required, for example: 3. Press the ENTER/REVIEW key. The screen will display: PULSER: Ultrasonics generates heat. Pulsing ultrasonics on and off helps to prevent heat build-up in temperature sensitive samples.
  • Page 16 REVIEW: The REVIEW function provides a “window” on the process by displaying various operating parameters without process interruption. Pressing the ENTER/REVIEW key repeatedly during processing will consecutively display the following information. a) Selected amplitude: e.g. Amplitude 40% b) Selected processing time and elapsed processing time: e.g.

  • Page 17: Probe Maintenance

    8. MAINTENANCE It is recommended to periodically inspect the unit, both visually and physically, to ensure optimum and safe performance. This inspection should be scheduled as a routine maintenance procedure, done with the unit power OFF and with the unit un- plugged from the AC power source.
  • Page 18 8.2. ATTACHING & DETACHING MICROTIPS 1. Disconnect probe from convertor. Use the wrench set provided with the system. 2. Clean threaded stud. Use alcohol and a cotton swab to remove any debris on the threading of the connecting stud. Allow the alcohol to dry completely. 3.

    OM100 Ultrasonic Homogenizer should be returned for repair. OVERLOAD CONDITION If the OM100 Ultrasonic Homogenizer stops working, and an OVERLOAD indication is displayed on the screen, check for possible causes as outlined in the above paragraph, then press the OFF key to switch the unit off, and the ON key to switch the unit back on.

  • Page 20: Frequently Asked Questions

    10. FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS Probe size vs. Sample volume Selecting the proper size probe is a critical factor when sonicating a sample. The sample volume to be processed must correlate with the tip diameter. Each probe has a recom- mended sample volume range. This range may overlap with other probes. For example the 1/8”...
  • Page 21 The probe should be submerged approximately halfway into the liquid but there are exceptions. Before processing actual samples, it is recommended to test the probe in a vessel filled with water to observe the ultrasonic energy and the flow pattern of the liquid.
