5. GUIDELINES
Always allow 5 minutes for fresh liquids to degas.
Degassing is the action of removing air bubbles from the
solution, which is achieved from turning the ultrasonics on.
It is not recommended to operate unit for longer
than 30 minutes.
Fluid temperature will increase under operating conditions.
The operator should always be aware that it only takes
a small amount of moisture contamination on the power
connections to cause electrical breakdown.

6. DO:
Use a suitable chemical applicable to your application.
Check the suitability of the chemical for use in ultrasonics,
as some chemicals can emit a dangerous toxic gas.
Use beakers and positioning covers or auxiliary pans
for additional solutions.
Rinse thoroughly after each cleaning application.
Keep tank bottom free of silt and dirt accumulation.
Always drain the basket fully of fluid before leaving
the cleaning chamber.

7. DON’T:
Run machine without solution in the tank.
Do not allow liquid level to drop below 80mm from
tank bottom.
Use heaters without a thermostat control.
Setting for the thermostat on heated models should
not exceed 60°C.
Place items directly on the tank bottom, always suspend
in basket or rack.
Drop items into stainless steel bath.
Do not pour hot water directly into the tank.
Use chemicals with very high or low pH level.
Use wax and compound removers on plastic or acrylics.
Use a flammable or combustible solution.
Subject the jacket and controls to splashing liquid
and fluid overflows.

8. GENERAL CLEANING:
The turnover of solution must be determined by the user
to satisfy acceptable cleaning results of the finished article.
If the contamination is heavy and difficult to remove,
a pre-rinse in a heated solution could be enough to soften
and loosen unwanted debris for ultrasonic cleaning.
At the other end of the scale, after the items have been
removed it is essential that a final rinse be performed
to remove any residue that remains on the cleaned parts.
•
•
•
9. INSTALLATION:
When locating a position for the cleaner, consideration
should be given to the following:
FOR M:
Turn the Mechanical timer switch to the desired time
setting and ultrasonic cavitation will occur in the liquid.
FOR D:
Generous circulation of air all around the cleaner.
Surrounding air free of dirt, contamination
and high temperatures.
Away from possible liquid splatter.
Easy access for manual adjustment.
•
•
•
•
10. OPERATION:
Insert the single phase 10A plug into a 240-volt, AC outlet.
Pour cleaning fluid of your choice into the tank.
Switch the supply mains ON.
The unit is now ready to operate.
•
•
•
•
To set interval time, press min or sec for desired setting.
Press start/stop for countdown start.
When countdown finishes, 30 seconds of beeps are given,
and the relay is off.
To terminate the countdown process, press the start/stop key.
To re-start the same cycle of countdown,
press start/stop key once.
To change the current count down setting, press min
or sec to set the desired value.

11. SERVICING
Unauthorized repairs will void warranty.
Only Unisonics Australia employees should service
this ultrasonic cleaner.
The circuit board presents high-level voltage.
Improper testing or repair procedures could result in injury
to the service person and damage to the product.
All repair requests are supplied as a no obligation free quote.

12. PERFORMANCE TEST:
Please find as follows the testing process for efficiency
levels in the ultrasonic cleaner.
TESTING PROCEDURE:
The aluminium foil test is an economical and consistent
test for units under 60 Litres to gauge performance.
FXP8 cleaners over 60 Litres should use a cavitation
meter for more accurate testing.
Always degas the solution prior to the performance test to
allow for the elimination of air found in fresh solution.
This is achieved by turning the ultrasonics on for 5 minutes.
Testing should always be carried out in a solution only
chamber (basket and cleaning items removed).
The foil must be suspended in the solution for a duration
of 30 seconds.
A consistent pattern of perforation should result
with hole sizes varying from one to four mm in diameter.
Tested fluid should be disposed of, as aluminium residue
will remain and deposit as a contaminant.
PLEASE NOTE: Inconsistency in foil thickness
and manual holding can create a degree of error
that will vary the results of the foil test.
