- Page 8 Safety Risk of electric shock The ultrasonic bath is an electrical device. Failure to follow safety rules may result in a life- threatening electric shock. • Do not allow the ultrasonic bath to become damp or wet. Keep the surface and touchscreen clean and dry.
- Page 9 Safety 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 10 Safety 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 11 Safety 2.11 Erosion of the oscillating tank The surface of the oscillating tank is subject to erosion. How quickly this erosion takes place depends on the use of the ultrasonic bath. The erosion leads to leakage points in the oscillating tank. Bath fluid can thus enter the interior of the ultrasonic bath. Moisture on electrical components can cause an electric shock or fire.
- Page 12 Safety 2.13 Interference with wireless communication The device may interfere with other wireless communication devices in close proximity, such • Mobile phones • Wi-Fi devices • Bluetooth devices If a wireless device malfunctions, increase its distance from the device.

- Page 18 Preparation for operation Rinsing the oscillating tank Thoroughly rinse the device's oscillating tank with water before using for the first time. To protect the surfaces during transport and storage, the device is provided with a grease- containing preservative. This preservative must be removed with a suitable cleaner before putting the device into service.
- Page 19 Preparation for operation • You can activate the pulse mode with the "Pulse" button and deactivate it by clicking again. • You can use the "Retardation of boiling" button to activate retardation of boiling and deactivate it by clicking again. Information Set the power to 100% for foil tests, degassing, and cleaning tasks.
- Page 20 Preparation for operation 4.6.5 Settings menu Here, you can define the basic settings for your device. • After clicking on the "DEGAS" button, you can set the duration. You can set the desired time with the slider or click on the minute number directly. An input screen will appear in which you can enter the minutes.

Click the "Factory Reset" button. 4.6.6 Functions menu Here, you can run recurring programmes.
- Page 22 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 23 Operation 9 l of ready-to-use solution, 2.5%: Agent: 9 l × 2,5 % = 0,23 l 100 % Quantity of water: 9 l - 0,23 l = 8,77 l Sonication time NOTICE Danger of damage to the objects to be sonicated Excessive sonication can damage the surface of objects being sonicated.
- Page 24 Operation 5.3.1 Pour in sonication fluid NOTICE Danger of damage - Do not fill the oscillating tank with hot water. - Maximum filling temperature: 50 °C. NOTICE Damage to the ultrasonic bath due to condensate At high humidity, condensation forms on the outside of the oscillating tank when it is filled with cold water.
- Page 25 Operation 1 Control panel 2 Filling level mark 3 Outlet with ball valve Requirements • The ball valve must be closed. • The device must be switched off. Procedure Fill 1/3 of the oscillating tank with water. Dose the agent into the oscillating tank. See Chapter 9 Dosing table or press the "Dosing"...
- Page 26 Operation Switching 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. Tap the "Start" button. » The ultrasound is switched on. The ultrasound noise can be heard. To switch the sonication off, tap the "Stop"...
- Page 27 Operation • The cover used must not completely seal the oscillating tank – steam must be able to escape. Information - The heating operates independently of the ultrasound. - It may only be possible to reach a bath temperature greater than or equal to 80 °C with the lid on.
- Page 28 Operation 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 29 Operation • Place the more contaminated side downwards. Place items with joints (e.g., scissors, tongs) in an open state so that the sonication fluid is able to optimally cover the entire surface. Removing objects to be sonicated WARNING Risk of scalding The sonication liquid, the objects to be sonicated, the surface of the device, and the acces- sories can be very hot.
- Page 30 Operation Fully replace used sonication fluid. Do not replenish it by topping it up. Procedure Switch off the ultrasound. If present, turn off heating. If you need to move the device to empty it, disconnect the mains plug. Open the ball valve. Thoroughly rinse out the oscillating tank.

- Page 33 Maintenance Tests NOTICE Damage to the ultrasonic bath - Only carry out tests on the ultrasound bath when it is filled. If one of the tests does not lead to the desired result, contact the servicing team. See section 6.5 Repairs. Checking the power of the ultrasound The power can be checked with a wattmeter between the mains plug of the ultrasonic bath and the socket.
- Page 34 Maintenance Performing the foil test Select the "Foil Test" button and then the "Start" button. A foil test should be carried out before the first use and then at regular intervals, e.g., every 3 months. This serves to ensure a consistent effect on the part of the ultrasound. The frequency of implementation is your responsibility.
- Page 35 The foil must be perforated. If not, we recommend having the device checked by the servicing department of BANDELIN electronic GmbH & Co. KG. Archive the foil with the test date and serial number of the ultrasonic bath as well as the previously selected conditions and duration.
- Page 36 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.
