SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
The following safety precautions should be observed when operating this equipment.
WARNING: Utilize this equipment with accordance to the manual and good safety
practices. Failure may result in poor equipment performance, personnel injury or
death, or equipment damage.
WARNING: USE ONLY WATER OR WATER-DETERGENT MIX IN CLEANING
CHAMBER. NEVER USE FLAMMABLE SOLVENTS (FIRE OR EXPLOSION COULD
RESULT) OR CARBON TETRACHLORIDE (PRODUCES TOXIC FUMES).
CAUTION: Never use ultrasonic cleaning console as a sink. Under no
circumstances should waste water be poured into it as the water could overflow the
drain and damage delicate components.
CAUTION: Incorrect voltage can damage the generator. Do not operate the
equipment unless the correct voltage is available.
CAUTION: Never operate unit without at least 6 inches of water in the cleaning
chamber. Failure to observe this precaution could damage the equipment.
WARNING: Do not operate this equipment for other than its intended use. The
system is intended for cleaning components with water and an aqueous, non-
flammable, detergent.
Ground fault circuit protection shall be provided at the time of installation.

SAFETY PRECAUTIONS (Continued)
WARNING: Hearing protection is required for the user of this equipment.
This equipment is intended to be utilized indoors in an ambient temperature of 50°F
to 95°F.
The benchtop systems are all protected by splashing water and debris to a rating of
IP 23.
This system contains one power cord that is required to be attached to a properly
rated three wire fusible disconnect with a grounding connection capable of handling
twice the rated current. The wires are colored as follows: black - hot / ungrounded,
white - return / grounded, green & yellow - protective earth. The system also contains
one drain valve for tank content drainage. The drain can be plumbed into a facility
drain or remaining unplumbed for added mobility on draining locations.
Recommend the use of NRTL approved electrical plug for use with this system.
Select the appropriate plug for the voltage and current rating of the unit as per the
respective national standard. When the plug is installed, make sure the wires are cut
so that the protective earth is the last to take the strain. Electrical plugs should be
installed only by a certified electrician.

3. Principles of Operation
The ultrasonic generator transforms AC line power to a specified signal (rated in kHz) that drives
a piezoelectric converter/ transducer. This electrical signal is converted by the transducer to a
mechanical vibration due to the characteristics of the internal piezoelectric crystals.
The vibrations are transferred from the piezoelectric converters to the high grade stainless steel
tank via the "VIBRA-Bar"™ bonded directly to the tank. This vibration is what powers the
ultrasonic cleaning process.
The Vibrations cause small vacuum cavities that are formed. These vacuum cavities grow in size
with each vibration until they reach a critical point where can no longer hold their size thus
collapsing, or imploding, during compression. This continuing rapid process, called cavitation,
is responsible for the scrubbing effect which produces ultrasonic cleaning.

4. Description of Components
BT-60SE
Generator
All of the Ultrasonic Power Corporation's cleaning systems are powered by the patented 5300
series ultrasonic generator. The generator supplies the specified signal (25, 40, 68, 132, or 170
kHz) to the transducers. The high efficiency of the generator ensures the maximum cleaning
power delivered to the tank without excessive power loss due to heat buildup.
Transducers
The transducers are made up of the piezoelectric converter and the patented "Vibra-Bar"®that is
directly bonded to the stainless steel tank.
