1. Principle of ultrasonic cleaning
Ultrasonic cleaner generates ultrasonic frequency electricity, which is converted by energy
converter into high-frequency mechanical oscillation that is transferred to cleaning fluid.
Ultrasound wave is beamed forwards unevenly in the cleaning fluid to make the fluid vibrate
and generate tens of thousands of micro bubbles, which form and grow in the negative
pressure area where the ultrasound wave travels longitudinally and close (crush out) in positive
pressure area.
Formation, growth and quick closure of the micro bubbles is called cavitation. In cavitation,
closure of bubbles will generate instantaneous high pressure higher than 1,000 times of
atmospheric pressure, and the continuous high pressure force hits surface of the work piece
like numerous small blasts to peel off dirty on the surface and in clearance of object, and this is
how the ultrasonic cleaning machine operates.
2. Precautions
• Locate this product properly to avoid any accident resulted from children's access to it.
• This product contains dangerous voltage, so do not start it at a high-temperature or humid
location to avoid electric shock.
• This product must be operated after inject liquid, otherwise it may be burnt out or even
result in fire.
• Absolutely do not use any inflammable detergent.
• Remove any dirt in the tank after operation and any foreign matter falling into the tank
shall be taken out immediately. Keep the external surface of the machine clean.
• Do not impose great impact to this product and handle it with care to prevent impairment
to performance or life span of it.
• During normal operation of ultrasonic generator, a consistent sound is resulted from the
harmonic oscillation of the tank body impacted by ultrasound wave, and no agitation
but ripple is caused on the surface of cleaning fluid by explosion of cavity. In case of
discontinuous oscillation, increase or reduce the cleaning fluid by a small quantity to
eliminate such oscillation to facilitate cleaning of work piece.
• While ensuring adequate cleaning of work piece, keep the generator operating
intermittently, as long-term consecutive operation may result in high temperature insides
and accelerate aging of electronic components in it.
Safety warning!

Operation Instructions:
① Load cleaning fluid into the tank and connect the power supply (which shall be grounded
reliably). After power-on, current actual temperature is displayed and the default
temperatureis20℃.Theultrasoundwaveoperatingtimeis99minutesbydefault.
② Adjustment of ultrasound operating duration: Press time setting button, one push to
increase one minute; long press it to increase fast, in a loop of 1-99 minutes.
③ Adjustment of operating temperature: Press temperature setting button, one push to
increase one minute; long press it to increase fast, in a loop of 1-80 degree.
④ After target temperature is set properly, press heating ON/OFF button to start heating tank
(heating system is started and heating indicator lamp turns on when target temperature
is higher than current actual temperature; heating system is stopped when target
temperature is lower than current actual temperature), and press it again to stop heating.
⑤ After operating duration is set properly, press timer ON/OFF button to start operation
and the operating indicator lamp turns on; press the button again to stop operation and
operating indicator lamp goes out.
8. Factors inuencing performance
① Ultrasonic power density: Higher power density results in better cleaning performance and
higher cleaning speed. Higher power density is appropriate for cleaning of work piece with
stubborn dirt, and lower power density is suitable for any precision work piece (generally
ultrasonic power density ranges between 0.01-0.02w/ml).
② Ultrasonic Frequency: Lower frequency results in better cavitation performance. Higher
frequency contributes to better refraction/ reflection performance. Lower frequency should
be applied for cleaning of simple surface while higher frequency for cleaning of complex
surface with deep or inaccessible hole. (80KHz, 120KHz)
③ Cleaning temperature: Ultrasound wave will present the best cavitation performance at a
temperaturerangebetween40℃~50℃.Highercleaningtemperaturefacilitatesbreakdown

④ Cleaning duration: Longer cleaning duration presents better cleaning performance (except
for special material).
⑤ Other influential factors include type and properties of cleaning fluid and the dirt to be
removed.

Symptoms Troubleshooting method
Failure of Ultrasonic wave
①Check whether the power cable has been connected
properly (by inspecting operation of power indicator lamp).
②Check whether PCB has been connected properly to the
power socket.
③Check whether the fuse tube is broken.

degree) or there are many air bubbles in the fluid or on the
tank wall (repeated power-on/off will reduce the bubbles).
④Check whether the solvent is added excessively.
No heating
①Check whether target temperature is too lower (lower than
current actual temperature).
②Check whether the heater cable is disconnected or gets
loose.
③Check whether heater is broken (due to shortage of
