• Should these operating instructions leave any questions unanswered, please contact your specialist dealer or BANDELIN. Notes on service can be found in Chapter 6.5 Repairs. In the event that the translation cannot be understood, the German original version of BANDELIN must be followed. -
Page 6: Safety
Safety Safety 2.1 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 •... -
Page 7: Risk Of Electric Shock
Safety 2.3 Risk of electric shock The device is an electrical device. Failure to follow safety rules can result in a life- threatening electric shock. • Never let the device become wet. Keep the surface and operating elements clean and dry. •... -
Page 8: Danger Due To High Temperatures
Safety 2.5 Danger due to high temperatures The device, the sonication liquid and the objects to be sonicated may become hot during operation. Touching them may cause burns. The temperature can be set at up to 80 °C. Ultrasound heats the sonication fluid even without additional heating. Very high temperatures can occur during prolonged ultrasound operation. -
Page 9: Danger Due To The Agents Used
Safety 2.7 Danger due to the agents used The agents used in the device can be toxic or corrosive. They can irritate eyes, skin and mucous membranes. The vapours and aerosols can also be dangerous. • Wear gloves and goggles when handling hazardous agents. •... -
Page 10: Erosion Of The Oscillating Tank
Safety 2.9 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. -
Page 11: Interference With Wireless Communication
Safety 2.11 Interference with wireless communication The device may interfere with other wireless communication devices in close proximity, such as: • mobile phones; • Wi-Fi devices • Bluetooth devices If a wireless device malfunctions, move it further away from the device. The device complies with the requirements for Class B devices per EN 55011. -

Page 14: Preparation For Operation
Preparation for operation Preparation for operation 4.1 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 Oscillating Tank
Preparation for operation Result » When the ultrasound is switched on, you will clearly hear a noise. If you do not hear a noise, contact servicing. A foil test should be performed before the first application. This serves to document the effect of the ultrasound. See chapter 6.4 Performing a foil test. -
Page 16: Operation
The ultrasonic agent used must be cavitation conducive, biodegradable, easy to dispose of, gentle on materials and long-lasting. BANDELIN recommends ultrasonic agents from the TICKOPUR, TICKOMED and STAMMOPUR product series from DR. H. STAMM GmbH. -
Page 17: Sonication Time
Operation Observe the instructions from the manufacturer of the ultrasonic agent regarding dosing. The necessary amount of ultrasonic agent and water can be found in the dosing table. See chapter 9 Dosing table. You can calculate the quantities yourself analogously to the following example: 10 l ready-to-use solution, 2.5%: Agent: 10 l ×... -
Page 18: Filling With Sonication Fluid
Operation 5.4 Filling with sonication fluid NOTICE Risk of damage – Do not fill the oscillating tank with hot water. – Maximum filling temperature: 50 °C. NOTICE Damage due to condensate in the device At high humidity, condensation forms inside the device when cold water is poured in. - Page 19 Operation Filling the oscillating tank 1 On/Off button to switch the device on/off 2 Filling level mark 3 Outlet with ball valve (depending on the model) Requirements • In the event of devices with an outlet, the ball valve must be closed. •...

Page 20: Switching Sonication On And Off
Operation 5.5 Switching sonication on and off Requirements • The oscillating tank is filled. • The mains plug is plugged into an earthed wall socket. Procedure 1. If present, place the lid on the device. 2. Press the On/Off button to turn on the device. 3. -
Page 21: Switching The Heating On And Off
Operation 5.6 Switching the heating on and off WARNING Risk of scalding During heating, steam bubbles can rise explosively under certain conditions (retardation of boiling). - Occasionally stir the sonication liquid during heating, or switch on the ultrasound. Warm sonication liquid intensifies the effect of the ultrasound. Experience has shown that the best result is achieved at a temperature of 50 to 60 °C. - Page 22 Operation Information - The heater is equipped with overtemperature protection. If the heating function is not working, disconnect the device from the mains and allow it to cool down to below 50 °C. Only then can the device be put back into operation. - The heating operates independently of the ultrasound.
-
Page 23: Setting The Power
Operation 5.7 Setting the power The power can be adjusted according to the desired intensity and sonication task. Requirements • The oscillating tank is filled. • The mains plug is plugged into an earthed wall socket. • The appliance is switched on. The green "O" LED on the temperature scale will light up. -
Page 24: Avoiding Retardation Of Boiling
Operation 5.8 Avoiding retardation of boiling To avoid retardation of boiling, the ultrasound is automatically switched on once a minute for 3 seconds, to mix the liquid, when the temperature is above 60 °C. This function cannot be switched off. You can set this function to always be active when the heating is switched on, even at temperatures below 60 °C. -
Page 25: Degassing The Sonication Liquid - Degas
Operation 5.9 Degassing the sonication liquid – DEGAS Sonication liquid 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 liquid increases the effect of the ultrasound. The DEGAS function allows rapid degassing of the sonication liquid. -
Page 26: Removing Objects To Be Sonicated
Operation • Spread out the items. Do not stack them. Sensitive items must not touch other items. • The ultrasound must be switched off while inserting objects. • Check the filling level. Objects to be sonicated must be completely covered with liquid. -
Page 27: Emptying The Oscillating Tank
Operation 5.12 Emptying the oscillating tank WARNING Danger of electric shock - Disconnect the mains plug before lifting the device. - Do not place the device in a sink to empty it. - Make sure that no liquid can enter the housing. CAUTION Hot sonication liquid and oscillating tank There is a risk of scalding when lifting the device to empty it. -
Page 28: Enabling And Disabling Continuous Operation
Operation 5.13 Enabling and disabling continuous operation You can lock this function to avoid continuous operation being accidentally switched on. 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. -
