Ultrasonic Unit Operating Instructions
Before placing items in the IND-Series to be cleaned, the liquid will need to be
degassed. Turn on the ultrasonics for at least 10 minutes to degas the cleaning liquid.
(See page 15 for more details on degassing).
The IND-Series is now ready to use.
To switch on the ultrasonic activity:
Press the CYCLE key. The CYCLE light will glow, activity will commence in the liquid
and the display will count down from the set time.
(The factory pre-set time is 10 minutes.)
At the end of the timed period the activity will stop and the timer will revert to the
pre-set time, ready for a repeat of the operation.
To stop the sonic activity at any time, press the CYCLE key.
To operate the heater:
Press the HEAT key. The HEAT light will glow, and the liquid temperature will rise until
it reaches the set temperature (the factory pre-set temperature is 50 °C.)
Once the desired temperature has been reached, the HEAT light will flash indicating
that the set temperature has been reached.
NOTE: Ultrasonic activity itself will heat the liquid, meaning that the liquid
temperature may rise above the set level. When the °C NOW Mode is selected, the
display will show the actual liquid temperature.
At the end of the cycle, remove the basket from the ultrasonic cleaner and rinse the
items under clean running water.
Change the cleaning liquid at regular intervals. Your cleaning process will determine
how often to change the liquid –the more soiled your items, the more often you will
need to change the liquid.

IND Operating Manual 13 C6000507
Heated Unit Operating Instructions
To start a timed cycle:
Press the CYCLE key. The CYCLE light will glow, activity will commence in the liquid
and the display will count down from the set time.
(The factory pre-set time is 10 minutes.)
At the end of the timed period the activity will stop and the timer will revert to the
pre-set time, ready for a repeat of the operation.
To stop the cycle at any time, press the CYCLE key.
To operate the heater:
Press the HEAT key. The HEAT light will glow, and the liquid temperature will rise until
it reaches the set temperature (the factory pre-set temperature is 50 °C.)
Once the desired temperature has been reached, the HEAT light will flash indicating
that the set temperature has been reached.

IND Operating Manual 14 C6000507
Technical Information
The need to degas
In order to allow optimum ultrasonic activity, the gases present in ordinary tap water
need to be driven out of the cleaning solution.
The time needed to degas the liquid varies depending on the amount of gas present
in the liquid and the quantity of water in the tank. Ultrawave recommends a degas
period of at least 10 minutes, although larger tanks will require a longer degas period.
During the degas cycle, you will see bubbles of gas forming on the inside of the
equipment, and slowly rising to the surface. Degassing is complete when you can no
longer see these bubbles. Another indication of increased “cold-boiling” at the liquid
surface indicates that the liquid is degassed.
Once the liquid is degassed, the equipment is ready for use.
The effect of heat
Heating the liquid in the equipment
will aid the cleaning process.
Normally a temperature of
between 30 to 75°C is sufficient to
accelerate the process. You will see
from the graph that optimum
cleaning will be obtained at 60°C
Ultrasonic activity itself will heat up the liquid at a rate of approximately 10-15°C per
hour if in continuous use.
Cleaning time
Cleaning time will depend on application, type and amount of contamination. General
light contamination should be removed in less than 10 minutes.
An indication of cleanliness is when stains are no longer visible, and contamination
no longer appears in a stream from the item being cleaned.

Ultrasonic cleaning detergents
Detergents are a vital component in the ultrasonic cleaning process, aiding in the
removal and loosening of debris from the surfaces of items placed in the tank while
also intensifying the power of the ultrasonic activity.
Ultrawave offers a range of specially formulated ultrasonic detergents for use in
applications including medical and industrial cleaning requirements.
Ultrawave recommends a dosage of between 2 and 5% by volume for all the
following detergents
Ultraclean SA: A general purpose cleaning detergent suitable for use on aluminium
and other soft metals.
Ultraclean M2: A general purpose cleaning detergent for all plastics, glass and
metals (except aluminium and other soft metals), which is also suitable for use on
medical instruments.
Ultraclean CS: Moderate grease and heavy contaminant removal for industrial
cleaning applications. Not suitable for use on aluminium and other soft metals.
Ultraclean CBX: An alkaline detergent for heavy grease and carbon removal. Not
suitable for use on aluminium and other soft metals.
Ultraclean SPX: A strong alkaline detergent for removal of tough grease and heavy
carbon deposits. Not suitable for use on aluminium and other soft metals.
Ultraclean PH: A strong acidic based detergent for heavy descaling, light rust
removal and metal brightening. Not suitable for use on aluminium and other soft
metals.
Ultraclean CTA: An acidic based detergent for descaling, degreasing and
brightening of metals. Fair compatibility with aluminium.
Ultraclean RI: Rust inhibitor for corrosion prevention of ferrous metals.
Ultraclean Test Kit: A sample pack of 1L each of the Ultraclean: SA, M2, CS, CBX,
SPX and PH.
Each of these detergents is available from Ultrawave. The required detergent dose
may vary depending on the component being cleaned and the level of contamination.

IND Operating Manual 16 C6000507
Maintenance
It is important to keep your equipment clean. Not only will contaminated liquid reduce
the performance of the ultrasonic equipment, but it may also damage it. Change the
cleaning liquid regularly. Your cleaning process will determine how often to change
the liquid –the more soiled your items, the more often you will need to change the
liquid. Change the cleaning liquid at least daily.
The base of the tank generates the ultrasonic activity by vibrating at high frequency.
If any contaminants are in contact with bottom of the tank, they act as an abrasive,
causing wear on the metal surface. In extreme cases, the tank will develop holes and
start to leak.
There are no user serviceable parts inside the IND-Series. All service and repair must
be conducted by suitably trained and qualified engineers approved by Ultrawave.
Service contracts for your ultrasonic equipment are available from Ultrawave.
