  • Page 5: About These Operating Instructions

    • If you pass this device on to someone else, provide these operating instructions with it. • Should these operating instructions leave any questions unanswered, please contact your specialist dealer or BANDELIN. Notes on service can be found in section 6.5 Repairs.
  • Page 6: Safety

    Safety Safety Using the unit 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 are versatile. The main application is the gentle intensive cleaning of items of various shapes, types and sizes.
  • Page 7: Damage To Health Due To Ultrasonic Noise

    Safety any time without difficulty. Damage to health due to ultrasonic noise The ultrasound noise typical of a procedure can be perceived as very unpleasant. If you stay within a radius of 5 m for a long period, you may suffer damage to your health. •...
  • Page 8: Danger Due To Ultrasound

    Safety Danger due to ultrasound The strong ultrasound in the unit destroys cell structures. If a body part is immersed in the sonication fluid during operation, this can lead to skin damage, but also to internal tissue damage. The fingers' periosteum can become damaged. •...
  • 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 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.

  • Page 13: Function

    Structure and function Function The device uses cavitation triggered by low-frequency ultrasound. Piezoelectric transducers are located on the underside of the oscillating tank. The ultrasound generates strong pressure fluctuations in the sonication fluid. Cavitation bubbles are formed at the pressure minima.
  • Page 14: Preparation For Operation

    Preparation for operation Preparation for operation Installation site requirements The installation site 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 together with the sonication liquid.
  • Page 15: Rinsing The Tank

    Preparation for operation Briefly switch on the ultrasound. To do this, turn the turning knob for the ultrasound duration to the right and, after 1 to 2 seconds, back to "0". For...-ST devices, a function test can only be performed when the device is full due to the level sensor.
  • Page 16: Operation

    The ultrasonic specimen used must be cavitation conducive, biodegradable, easy to dispose of, gentle on materials, and long-lasting. BANDELIN recommends ultrasonic specimens from the TICKOPUR, TICKOMED and STAMMOPUR product series from DR. H. STAMM GmbH, see chapter 10 Appendix.
  • Page 17: Sonication Duration

  • 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 an earthed wall socket. Procedure If present, place the cover on the device. 2. Rotate the turning knob for the ultrasound duration to the desired duration or to the ∞ symbol for continuous operation. »...
  • Page 20: Switching The Heating On And Off

    Operation Switching the heating on and off WARNING Risk of scalding During heating, steam bubbles can rise explosively under certain conditions (retardation of boiling). - Stir the sonication fluid from time to time during heating or switch on the ultrasound. - The cover used must not completely seal the oscillating tank –...
  • Page 21: Degassing Sonication Fluid

    Operation Degassing sonication fluid Sonication fluid that has been freshly poured in or that has remained in the oscillating tank for a long time must be degassed before use. Degassing the sonication fluid increases the effect of the ultrasound. • Put on the oscillating tank's cover, if available. •...
  • Page 22: Removing Sonication Items

    Operation Removing sonication items WARNING Risk of burns The sonication fluid, sonication items, the surface of the device, and accessories can be very hot. – Do not touch the surface of the device or accessories such as the cover. Do not reach into the sonication fluid.
  • Page 23: Remote Control

    Operation Procedure Switch off the ultrasound. If present, turn off the heating. If you need to move the ultrasonic bath to empty it, disconnect the mains plug. Open the 3-way ball valve. Thoroughly rinse out the oscillating tank. Wipe the ultrasonic bath dry with a soft cloth. If necessary, disinfect the ultrasonic bath with a suitable surface disinfectant.
