Sonics VCF1500 - Manual (Page 11)

CAUTION
•
Never allow liquid to spill into the converter.
• When working with low surface tension liquids, do not use a probe with a
replaceable tip.
• Never energize a threaded probe without the replaceable tip or extender attached.
1. Immerse the probe 2 to 3 inches (5-8 cm) into the liquid. Always immerse the
probe deep enough below the surface of the sample to inhibit aerosoling or
foaming. Foaming substantially reduces cavitation. Processing at a lower power
setting without foam is more effective than processing at a higher power setting
with foam. Decreasing the power, increasing processing time and lowering the
temperature of the sample of the sample will usually prevent aerosoling and
foaming. Do not use any antifoaming agents or surfactants.
2. Set the TIMER as required
3.
Depress the START button.
4.
Adjust the AMPLITUDE control as required.
5.
If the converter runs hot, air-cool the converter with DRY compressed air.
CAUTION
When working with a ¾” (19mm) probe or extender, do not set the AMPLITUDE control above
70. With a 1” (25mm) probe, do not operate continuously with the AMPLITUDE control set
above 90.
