CAUTION
LOW SURFACE TENSION LIQUIDS – ORGANIC SOLVENTS
The probes (solid or with a replaceable tip) are tuned elements that resonate at a specific
frequency. If the replaceable tip is removed or isolated from the rest of the probe, the
element will no longer resonate at that frequency, and the power supply will fail.
Unlike aqueous (water based) solutions, which rarely cause problems, solvents and low
surface tensio n liquids are problematic. These liquids penetrate the probe/replaceable tip
interface, and force the particulates into the threaded section isolating the tip from the
probe.
When processing low surface tension liquids
ALWAYS use a solid probe
SECTION 1 – INSTALLATION
INSPECTION
Prior to installing the Ultrasonic Processor, perform a visual inspection to detect any
evidence of damage, which might have occurred during shipment. Before disposing of
any packaging material, check it carefully for small items.
The Ultrasonic Processor was carefully packed and thoroughly inspected before leaving
our factory. The carrier, upon acceptance of the shipment, assumed responsibility for its
safe delivery. Claims for loss or damage sustained in transit must be submitted to the
carrier.
If damage has occurred, contact your carrier within 48 hours of the delivery date.
DO
NOT OPERATE DAMAGED EQUIPMENT. Retain all packing materials for future
shipment.
