13 Operating Your Ultrasonic Bath
Operating Your Ultrasonic Bath
If this is the first time you are using the ultrasonic bath, please read this
whole section before operating your unit.
M S e r i e s
Before You Begin
• Do not place parts or containers directly on the bottom of the tanks;
use a tray or wire to suspend items. Direct placement can cause the
units to fail.
• Do not allow the solution to drop more than 3/8 inch (1 cm) below the
operating level line with ultrasonics on.
• Do not ever use alcohol, gasoline or flammable solutions. Doing so
could cause a fire or explosion. Use only water-based solutions.
• Do not ever use mineral acids. These could damage the tank.
Failure to comply with these cautions will void your warranty.
Step Action
1 Select your cleaning solution (refer to page 49 for solution
effects on metals).
2 Allowing for the volume of the parts you will be cleaning and
leaving room for cleaning solution, fill the tank with warm tap
water to the operating level line.
3 Add cleaning solution to the tank water.
4 Plug the unit into a grounded outlet.
5 For maximum efficiency, refer to page 40, “Optimizing Your
Ultrasonic Bath,” before proceeding.
NOTE
If this is the first time you are running the unit, or if you have changed
cleaning solution, you must degas the solution. If not, skip to page 15,
“Cleaning Items (Treating Samples).”
