INTRODUCTION
About the Ultrasonic Cleaning Process
Congratulations! You have purchased an Omegasonics Prewash, used with the
Ultrasonic Cleaning system.
But how does the Prewash work?
The Prewash Unit is used in tandem with the Omegasonics Ultrasonic Cleaning Tank.
Its purpose is to presoak, soften debris, and emulsify soot prior to placing items into the
Ultrasonic Tank for final precision cleaning. An upper and lower spray bar to create a
cyclonic action that removes gross contamination.
Omegasonics provides a complete line of quality ultrasonic cleaning washers that have
been developed for industries that have historically used technology that is quickly
becoming outdated. While other companies use environmentally harmful cleaning
solvents, we provide state-of-the-art, labor saving, fast, efficient and environmentally
safe alternatives.

WARNINGS
Failure to read these warnings may cause the unit to fail, personal injury or property damage.
·Equipment should only be operated on a single phase, 240 VAC, 20 Amp grounded
electrical system. The plug is a Hubbell #2321. A Hubbell #2320, or compatible, receptacle
is required.
·For safety reasons, it is not recommended to place the receptacle directly behind the unit.
Mount the receptacle on the wall to the upper right of the unit’s location.
·Never plug in or operate the unit (heat or pump) without the appropriate liquid level in the
tank (the height of the upper spray bar).
·Any detergents or chemicals used in this equipment must be compatible with 300 series
stainless steel. Do not use any chemicals that contain any strong acids i.e. hydrochloric,
sulfuric or muriatic acid. These chemicals will cause permanent damage to the stainless
steel welds.
·Due to the heated liquid in the tank, use baskets, tongs or wires to insert or remove parts
from the tank.
·Do not operate the unit with wet hands.
·Use only biodegradable cleaning agents.
·Do not open the internal circuitry of the equipment, disassemble any part or parts, or move
or remove any components or electrical devices.
·Never attempt to perform maintenance on the equipment when the unit is energized or when
the cleaning solution is hot.
·Disconnect the power source when moving the unit to a new location.
·Avoid splashing water outside the tank.
Only qualified technically trained personnel should perform any electrical maintenance on this
machine.

SET-UP
Plumbing
·If the prewash unit is set-up in conjunction with the 3600 XW unit, the hot and cold
water supply should be located between the units. Units should be at least 10”apart.
·Having a heated deionized water source at the unit or an adjacent sink is a benefit
when rinsing electrical / electronic contents or contents that would show water spots.
General
·Place the machine on a level surface and lock all four wheels.
·Be sure the drain valve is completely closed (handle perpendicular to the drain)
before filling the machine.

·Next to the filters, you’ll find the diverter valve to change from filtration to spray
nozzle (Spray Gun / Spray Bar Lever).
·In the spray gun position, water will flow when the trigger is pulled. The spray can be
adjusted by opening clockwise for the Stream Spray or counterclockwise for the O
Mist Spray.
·Fill the rinse tank with water (see note at the bottom of this page) and the proper
dilution of soap to just above the upper spray bar. Using hot water will shorten the
amount of time required to reach the desired temperature. Check drain assembly to
insure that there is no leakage.
·The Model 3600PW tank dimensions are 36”x 24”with a 20”overall working depth.
This tank will hold 75 gallons and has a working volume of approximately 60 gallons
when the water level is at the midpoint of the spray bar. This liquid volume does not
include the liquid in the pump / filter system. Use this volume for calculating the
amount of detergent you will use.
*Note About Water*
The quality of your water source can have an important effect on the performance of the
equipment. High levels of calcium, magnesium, sulfur and other contaminants in the
water source can have a negative effect on the type of cleaning soap used. High levels
of calcium and/or magnesium (constitutes hard water) can cause the soap to work less
efficiently and less effectively as intended and can also leave a white, flaky residue on
the parts once dried. If this white spotting occurs and is not desired, it will be necessary
to use soft water, drinking water or distilled water, in the machine. The level of final
cleanliness will dictate the water source used in the machine.

7
·If the machine does not have enough water (at least up to the spray bar), the pump
will be damaged and the machine will fail. Once the proper amount of water has
reached the low level sensor, just below the spray bar, it will be activated allowing
the machine to function properly.
·Plug the power cord into a proper electrical outlet and press green POWER button.
·Unlock the lid by pulling the hinge, located on the right side of the lid, towards
yourself and close the lid over the tank to maximize insulation efficiency
·Set digital timer and temperature controls.
·The OMG-3600PW utilizes (3) 900 Watt built-in silicone heating elements and is well
insulated. The time required to heat the machine initially will vary between two (2)
and three (3) hours. The unit heats water at approximately fifteen (15) degrees per
hour. After the initial heating period, the temperature will remain constant with very
limited electrical draw. It is important that the lid remain closed when not in use to
minimize heat loss and evaporation.

Digital Temperature
Knowing Your Temperature Controller
·PV: This upper display indicates the
actual Process Value (or current
temperature) of the bath and cannot
be changed manually.
·SV: The lower display indicates the
Set Value or desired bath
temperature. This Set Value is
adjustable.
·ALM 1: If this light is on, it means
that the machine is currently heating.
It will shut off once the desired
temperature has been reached.
·OUT: If this light is on, it means that
the bath temperature is out of the
preset range of 50˚F - 160˚F. There
is a 5˚hysteresis which means that
the heating mechanism (and the
OUT light) will go on/off based on a
5˚variance. This serves as a buffer
to protect the life of the motor
contactor.
·AT, ALM 2: Omegasonics use only.
·Return Key
Operation
·The temperature controller is factory set at 110˚F.
·To change the Set Value, lightly press the up arrow key to increase or lightly press
the down arrow key to decrease the value. Pressing and holding down either arrow
key will change the displayed value rapidly.
·Upon changing the Set Value, this lower display will flicker indicating the new value
is not set. To make this value permanent, press the RETURN Key .
·Experience shows that the optimum cleaning temperature for most applications is
120˚F - 160˚F.
·When ready to activate the heat, turn the selector switch marked HEAT to the ON
position.
If increased or decreased security is desired, please contact technical support at
Omegasonics to receive instructions.

9
Filtration System
·In many applications the use of a pump and filtration system will extend the useful
life of the cleaning chemistry.
·The spray bar pushes the water surface, skimming off floating oil and debris that is
loosened by the prewash cleaning.
·The filtration system will then remove the contaminants, pass the water through the
dual filters (“primary,”“secondary”) and spray the filtered water back into the wash
tank through the spray bars.
·The pump and heat circuits can be operated simultaneously.
·How often you use the pump is dependent on what is being cleaned and the state of
the water (i.e. if the items are oily, then the pump should be run after each cleaning
cycle).
·To activate the filtration system, turn the selector switch marked PUMP to the ON
position.

10
GENERAL CLEANING PROCEDURES
·Be careful not to overload the system and/or the baskets.
·Many times you can achieve better results by cleaning two smaller loads rather than
one large load.
·When lowering the items into the tank via baskets or tongs, be sure to arrange the
items so they are not touching the bottom of the tank. They should be suspended at
least ½”above the tank bottom. This can be achieved with the use of a tank rack.
·Items should not be stacked too densely.
·The volume of parts to be cleaned should not exceed thirty percent (30%) of the total
tank volume.
·Prewash times will vary depending on the temperature of the solution, the number of
parts to be cleaned, the amount of contamination and the amount and type of
cleaning agent used. Generally, (3) to five (5) minutes is sufficient.
·If items are heavily contaminated, the spray gun can be used to directly spray off
excess contamination. In order to activate the spray gun, turn the lever (located
beneath the filter canisters) 90˚.
·After completion of the prewash process, remove the items via basket and transfer
to the ultrasonic machine.
·If parts must be handled, wear gloves when touching surfaces to protect against
heated items
Fire Restoration
·For restoration applications, operating the filtration system constantly is the
recommended usage.
·For specific cleaning methods relating to fire restoration and mold remediation,
please refer to the Omegasonics Restoration Workbook.

EQUIPMENT MAINTENANCE
General
·Keep the bath free of oils, grease and any foreign materials.
·Skim off oil and grease residue periodically, if necessary.
·Cleaning agents should be changed periodically depending on usage.
Draining Tank
·Turn equipment off and unplug the power cord.
·Wait at least twenty (20) minutes after the heat circuit is turned off before emptying
the tank. Permanent damage to the heater elements will occur if the tank is drained
too soon after the heaters are turned off.
·Drain the contaminated cleaning solution from the tank using the valve.
·Rinse the inside of the tank with clean water.
·Buff the inside of the tank with a clean, soft cloth. Do not use steel wool cleaning
pads as they are too abrasive and will scratch the tank surface.
·Rinse the tank again.
·If the tank will not be used for a long period of time, wipe the inside and the outside
of the tank dry with a dry, clean, soft cloth.
·Close the lid on the cleaning tank. The lid should remain closed when the
equipment is not in use to keep dust and debris from accumulating.
·This tank cleaning procedure should be performed every time the bath is changed.
Always thoroughly inspect drain areas for leaks.
When discharging bath and waste, follow all environmental and regulatory requirements. A reputable and
licensed waste transportation firm should perform removal of all waste materials. Omegasonics is not
liable for improper handling of waste materials.

12
Changing Filters
Disposable
·Prior to changing the filters, the water level in the tank must be no higher than the
level of the spray bar.
·Filters should be changed periodically depending on the usage of the equipment and
the contaminants being removed. If water is not flowing more than a trickle from the
spray bar holes, it is time to replace your filters.
·Individually unscrew counterclockwise the two (2) large blue filter cartridge holders.
The cartridges will be full of water.
·Pour the water out of the cartridges and remove the filters. Be careful not to lose the
rubber O-ring gasket located on the inside of the filter cartridge. Absence of this
gasket will cause the filter(s) to leak.
·Replace with new filter(s) and re-install the cartridges.
·The 20 Micron Polycarbonate Filter is the primary filter and is located on the right
side of the filtration unit.
·The 10 Micron Polycarbonate Filter is the secondary filter and is located on the left
side of the filtration system.
Reusable Stainless Steel
·Clean the outside of the filters in a sink.
·Place each filter into individual Ziplock bags.
·Fill each bag with hot water and add soap from the bath.
·Seal bag and place into ultrasonic tank and operate the ultrasound for 15 minutes.
·Dump the fluid from the bag into the sink, NOT the ultrasonic tank.
·Repeat the process until no dirt is extracted from the filters.
·Replace the filters into the blue canisters.
**Note: Constant usage will cause filters to be changed out more often than the
complimentary ultrasonic tank.**
