SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
The following safety precautions should be observed when operating or servicing 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. Contact the proper authority about necessary changes at the wall receptacle.
CAUTION: Never operate unit without at least 8 inches of water in the cleaning chamber. Failure to observe
this precaution could damage the heating system.
WARNING: ALWAYS DISCONNECT ALL POWER TO THE SYSTEM PRIOR TO PERFORMING
PREVENTATIVE MAINTENANCE WITHIN THE COMPARTMENTS. ELECTRICAL SHOCK CAN CAUSE
SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH.
WARNING: Do not operate this equipment for other than its intended use. The system is intended for

SAFETY PRECAUTIONS (Continued)
WARNING: EXTREMELY HIGH VOLTAGES, WHICH CAN CAUSE DEATH ON CONTACT, ARE PRESENT IN
ELECTRICAL CIRCUITS OF THE SYSTEM. ALWAYS USE THE FOLLOWING PRECAUTIONS WHEN
WORKING ON THE EQUIPMENT:
1. DO NOT ATTEMPT TO OVERRIDE SAFETY INTERLOCKS.
2. NEVER REACH ACROSS ANY SYSTEM WHICH HAS NOT BEEN TURNED OFF, THE PLUG PULLED AND
HIGH-VOLTAGE CAPACITORS DISCHARGED.
3. WHEN SERVICING LIVE ELECTRONIC EQUIPMENT, ALWAYS WORK WITH ONE HAND IN YOUR
POCKET OR BEHIND YOUR BACK AND STAND ON AN INSULATED PAD (e.g. RUBBER). THAT WAY IF
YOU GET SHOCKED, THE CURRENT WILL NOT PASS THROUGH YOUR BODY.
4. DON'T CARRY ON CONVERSATION OR PERMIT YOURSELF TO BE DISTRACTED IN ANY MANNER
WHILE SERVICING LIVE EQUIPMENT.
5. NEVER SERVICE LIVE EQUIPMENT UNLESS SOMEONE IS IN THE SAME ROOM WITH YOU.
6. NEVER TURN OFF THE MAIN POWER SWITCH IN SOME REMOTE SPOT AND THEN SERVICE
EQUIPMENT WITHOUT ALSO PULLING PLUG ON LINE CORD.
7. IN THE EVENT OF SHOCK, ARTIFICIAL RESPIRATION SHOULD BE APPLIED IMMEDIATELY. IF
POSSIBLE, BY A PERSON TRAINED IN ADMINISTERING SUCH TREATMENT.
WARNING: ALWAYS DISCHARGE ALL HIGH-VOLTAGE CAPACITORS BEFORE ATTEMPTING ANY
SERVICING. DON'T ASSUME THAT THE DISCHARGE FROM A CAPACITOR WILL NOT PRODUCE A
SERIOUS SHOCK. THE DISCHARGE FROM A HIGH-CAPACITY, HIGH-VOLTAGE CAPACITOR IS LETHAL!
WARNING: THE TRANSDUCERS CAN BUILD UP A CHARGE, REGARDLESS OF POWER BEING APPLIED,
DUE TO MECHANICAL SHOCK OR HEAT OF SOLUTION IN CLEANING CHAMBER. THEREFORE, TO
REMOVE SHOCK HAZARD, DISCONNECT TRANSDUCER CABLE AND SHORT THE CABLE TO GROUND
BEFORE SERVICING THE GENERATOR. USE CAUTION WHEN WORKING ON THE TRANSDUCER
ASSEMBLY.
CAUTION: Failure to reconnect wires in their original positions when replacing components in the system
may lead to failure of the system. Carefully note proper arrangement before removing wires from
components to be replaced.

This equipment is intended to be utilized indoors in an ambient temperature of 50°F to 95°F.
The console 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, red- 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.
Approved hearing protection is recommended for use with this system.
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.

2. Operating Instructions
2.1. General
The following instructions are intended to guide the user when: (1) instructing operators
in techniques designed to ensure optimum equipment performance; and (2) verifying
the validity of operator complaints. See Section 4 - Troubleshooting, if the console is
not operating properly.
2.2. Before Operating this Equipment
1. Ensure that the liquid level is at an appropriate height as to not to damage the
heaters. Minimum level is 8 inches.
2. Check for leaks in the plumbing for a precautionary measure before adding
chemicals.
3. Plug the power cable into the appropriate voltage outlet. Using incorrect voltage will
not allow the cleaner to operate properly and may damage the system.
2.3. Operating the Equipment
1. Getting Started - Locate the unit on a solid and level surface. If you are filling the
unit with a hose be sure the customer provided disconnect switch is in the off
position prior to filling the machine to avoid splashing the internal electrical
components.
2. Filling the Unit - Check to be sure the drain valve is tightly closed. Fill the tank up
to the recommended working level with high quality water. If tap water is not of good
quality, it is recommended that filtered water is used to allow the detergent to
perform at its highest level. Optimum water temperature will vary as some
chemicals will require higher temperatures for proper cleaning.
3. Set Heater temperature –For most industrial applications, 140F is the
recommended fluid temperature. Some applications or detergents will require other
temperatures and may be as low as 90F. Consult your sales representative if you
do not know what temperature to set the unit to.
4. Adding Chemicals –Use the mixture rate recommended by the detergent
manufacturer. After cleaning one or two items, you may choose to increase the
chemical ratio. The amount of chemical will be based on the condition of the water
being used and how much contamination is to be removed. Detergents that are
used in this ultrasonic cleaning system must be compatible with 304 and 316L
stainless steel. You will void the warranty if chemical attack to the stainless
steel occurs.
