1.1 Mode of operation
Ultrasonic baths use the effect of cavitation. Under their oscillating tank bottoms they
contain piezoelectric transducers, the energy of which is transferred to the bath liquid with
ultrasound frequency as mechanical oscillations. As a result, microscopically small bubbles
are continuously formed in the bath liquid, which release energy upon imploding and
generate local microcurrents. This process is called cavitation.
1.2 Purpose
General use
The SONOCOOL ultrasonic bath is intended for use in analytical labs as well as for
industrial and scientific research and also in pathologies. With the bath it is possible to
use the catalytic effect of ultrasound for processes during which simultaneous cooling
is required. Heat-sensitive samples are protected by the cooling function and process
sequences can be designed to be faster and more effective than customary procedures.
Cooling is conducted automatically, the ultrasound can be separately switched on.
In addition to the temperature, the runtime can be set for up to 99:59:59 hours. In addition,
four different levels of ultrasonic power can be selected. The ultrasonic bath is table-
top operated using the keys on the front of the device, and is designed for unmonitored
continuous operation.
Caution!
The sonication takes place indirectly in inset beakers.
Ultrasound cleaning directly in the contact liquid is not allowed with the SONOCOOL.
In-vitro diagnostic use of the bath
The SONOCOOLcan be used for in vitro diagnostic treatment or laboratory procedures
(e.g. bone decalcification) in which medical information is gathered from the treatment of
organic or inorganic material. In this case, it is classified and treated in accordance with
Directive 98/79/EC on in vitro diagnostic medical devices (IVD).
1.3 CE conformity
The ultrasonic bath is declared as a IVD device and satisfies the CE marking criteria for the
European Union:
- IVD Directive
- Low-Voltage Directive
- Electromagnetic Compatibility Directive
- RoHS Directive
in their currently valid versions.
The declaration of conformity can be requested from the manufacturer.

2.3 Start-up
Important!
During delivery, rubber stoppers are plugged into the tank's inlet and outlet so that any
residual water from the manufacturer's final inspection does not leak into the internal fluids
circuit during transportation.
Leave these stoppers in place for the time being!
Thoroughly wipe clean the ultrasonic bath's oscillating tank before its first use.
Note:
In order to protect the surface during transport and storage, all outer surfaces (and also
the inner walls of the oscillating tank) are covered with an oily preservative. This should
be removed with a suitable cleanser before first use, see Chapter 5.
Connect the ultrasonic bath up to the power supply (grounded socket).
To conduct a function test, fill and ventilate the oscillating tank in accordance with
chapter 4. Briefly activate the ultrasound on the switched-on ultrasonic bath. A hissing
noise should be heard.
Check whether the cooling unit starts: An air current should be detectable on the rear
side of the outgoing air opening, the fan motor should be running audibly.
It is recommended that a foil test be conducted as part of quality assurance prior to the
first use, see chapter 6.1.
Next, empty out and switch offthe ultrasonic bath in accordance with chapter 4.
Hang the beaker holder in the oscillating tank and place the lid on top.
Caution!

3.4 Setting the operating parameters
By pressing the [SET] key, the editing mode is activated.
Depending on the operating mode used to call up the editing mode, it will be possible to
change different operating parameters:
Call-up from Editable parameters
Stand-by mode Target runtime, target temperature and target power
Active mode Target temperature and target power
Pause mode Remaining runtime (without changing the target runtime!), target
temperature and target power
It is possible to switch between the individual parameters by pressing the [] key or []
key. By pressing the [] and [] keys, the setting values can be changed. Each of the
editable parameter positions is displayed inversely. Changes made become immediately
active.
3.4.1 Temperature setting
The temperature can be changed at any time in editing mode.
Setting limits: 4 - 40 °C
Notes:
• If the actual temperature exceeds the value of the target temperature by more than
+ 0.7 °C, the ultrasonic bath will shut offthe ultrasound for safety reasons (ultrasound
energy heats up the liquid). If the limit value is exceeded before the start, it will not be
possible to activate the ultrasound. The status LED will blink red.
• The ultrasonic bath will independently activate the ultrasound if the actual temperature is
once again within the stated tolerance range.
• The set time will only be counted during active ultrasound emission.
• If the target value for the temperature is higher than the actual temperature, only a
warning will be issued and the ultrasound may be started. The status LED will blink
yellow.
• With a target temperature below 15 °C, the ultrasound may be occasionally switched off
under normal ambient conditions (approx. 20 °C).
This can be prevented by reducing the ultrasound power setting.

3.4.2 Time setting
The target runtime can only be edited from stand-by mode. It cannot be edited while under
active operation (active mode) since the ultrasound continues to be active while in editing
mode.
From the pause mode, only the remaining runtime can be edited.
This setting, however, will not change the runtime specification (saved value in stand-by
mode).
Setting limits: 00:00:10 – 99:59:59 (hh:mm:ss)
3.4.3 Power setting
The power can be changed at any time in editing mode.
Setting values: 25%, 50%, 75% and 100%.
