Operation and transport
• Observe environmental and set-up conditions, see chapter 1.4.
• Only plug in the ultrasonic bath to an outlet with a grounded socket.
• Do not operate the ultrasonic bath without liquids.
• Do not place or lay any objects on the tank bottom, accessories must be used,
see chapter 7.
• Do not immerse any parts of the body (e.g. hands, feet) or living beings (animals or
plants) into the tank; in particular, do not immerse them in the ultrasonic
fl
uid during
ultrasound operation. Danger: ultrasound has a cell-destroying e
ff
ect.
• In the event of continuous activity within a 5 m radius, adequate hearing protection
must be used. Danger: Hearing loss possible if not wearing hearing protection
during operation – the typical ultrasound cavitation noise can be perceived as very
unpleasant.
• When preheating the bath liquid, stir at least every 30 min. or switch on the
ultrasound. Danger: Scalding due to retardation of boiling.
• Wear appropriate protective equipment.
The agents used in the device may be toxic or corrosive. Eyes, skin and mucous
membranes may become irritated. Vapours and aerosols can also be dangerous.
• Do not operate the ultrasonic bath while unattended.
• Ultrasound energy warms up the sonication
fl
uid (even without additional heating).
- In the event of continuous operation and/or if the oscillating tank is covered,
the temperature of the liquid may increase more rapidly and even rise above
the maximum value of the thermostat (80°C). For this reason, check the
temperature when treating temperature-sensitive components.
- Non-aqueous
fl
uids can heat up many times faster than water. A possible
fl
ashpoint can be reached and/or exceeded after a very short sonication time.
In the case of high-boiling liquids (with and without a
fl
ashpoint), the bath
temperature can increase to >120 °C due to the energy input of the ultrasound.
This leads to irreparable damage to the ultrasonic bath.
Damages and defects
• If damage to the ultrasonic bath is detected, do not connect the ultrasonic bath to the
mains.
• In the event of defects, disconnect the mains plug immediately.
• Repairs must only be conducted by authorised skilled personnel or by the
manufacturer.
• Defective parts may only be replaced with original SONOREX parts.
