pushbuttons.  Then access this screen and touch the [

DIR

] switch, which will 

change position from [

Fwd

] to [

Rev

] or vice versa.  Then depress the two yellow 

pushbuttons again.  The arm will then move in the opposite direction.  

NOTE:

 

Automatic cycles can be run with this switch in either position. 

 
Manual Control of the Ultrasonics 

The [

ULTRASONICS

] button on this screen allows the operator to manually 

alternate the control of the ultrasonics between [

ON

] and [

AUTO

].  The only 

requirement is that there must be adequate fluid level in the tanks as sensed by the 
level sensor in the overflow (front) tank.  This button is a toggle; that is, press it 
once to turn the ultrasonics [

ON

], and press it again to return the ultrasonics to 

[

AUTO

]. 

 

CAUTION

:  This button must be in [

AUTO

] when running Automatic 

Cleaning Cycles.  If it is left in the [

ON

] state, the automatic cycle cannot 

control the generator and it will run continuously, potentially causi ng fluid 
overheating. 
 
If the fluid temperature reaches 115 F, the 

[HIGH]

 temperature indicator 

will illuminate and the generator operation will cease.  It will resume when 
the temperature falls below 115 F.  Therefore the fluid will remain at about 
115 F until the ultrasonic generator is returned to [

AUTO

] and the fluid is 

allowed to cool. 
 
Do not leave the ultrasonics operating while unattended for extended 
periods—this can lead to erosion of the item being cleaned, or ultimately the 
premature erosion of the tank surfaces

 
Maintenance Mode 

The 

[MODE]

 switch on this screen is provided for use primarily in draining the 

machine.  Usually, this switch is left in the [

Normal

] mode.  For an explanation of 

how to use this switch, see Section 

IV.

 

 

Setting the Time and Date 

1.

 

Simultaneously depress the upper and lower LEFT corners of the screen.  A panel will appear 
offering a choice of language.  Press the [

ENGLISH

] button.  Another screen will appear with 

a [

Clock

] button. 

2.

 

Depress the [

Clock

] button.  A screen will appear with a numeric keypad and buttons for Hr, 

Min, Sec, Mon, Day and Yr.  

NOTE

: The clock is set using 24-hour military-style time, where 

1:00 PM is 13:00.  It also displays the time in 24-hour format. 

3.

 

Only the parameter(s) that need(s) changing have to be entered.  For example, in switching 
between daylight and standard time, you only need to enter the “Hr” parameter. 

4.

 

Enter the new value on the keypad and depress the proper pushbutton.  If the entered value is 
out-of-range, a message will be displayed. 

5.

 

When all the values are correct, depress the [

Exit

] key twice to return to the normal display.
