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 tension 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 with an older model High Volume Flow 
Cell equipped with a ¾” (19mm) or 1” (25mm) probe, 
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.
