SHORT HISTORY & OVERVIEW OF ULTRASONIC CLEANERS
Ultrasonic cleaning was first introduced to commercial/industrial business in
the early 1950’s and became commonplace as relatively inexpensive home
appliances in the 1970’s.
Ultrasonic cleaning is a process based on a Cavitation Effect caused by high
frequency ultrasonic waves that vibrate millions of tiny bubbles to agitate the
liquid in order to clean contamination and dislodge small particles of dust/dirt/oil/
etc. from substrates such as metal, plastics, glass, ceramic, etc. It is these tiny
bubbles that implode violently that cause this cavitation, which have great impact
and provide intense scrubbing action on the surface of the object you want to
clean. Additionally, these bubbles are small enough to penetrate even the most
microscopic crevices on objects, cleaning them thoroughly and consistently.
Most all hard, non-absorbent materials (metals, plastics, etc.) that cannot be
chemically attacked by the cleaning fluid used in ultrasonic cleaning are suitable
for ultrasonic cleaning.
Ultrasonic cleaning is also widely used to remove flux residue from soldered
circuit boards.
Note: Ultrasonic cleaning does NOT sterilize the objects being cleaned and
spores and viruses will remain on the objects after cleaning. In the medical field,
sterilization of the object will normally follow the ultrasonic cleaning process.
SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
• We highly suggest that you operate the unit while plugged directly into
a grounded outlet with the attached power cord. If you have to use an
extension cord, never use an extension cord that is not grounded.
• Do not attempt to remove any screws or panels from the unit. There are
no user serviceable parts inside the unit.
• To avoid electric shock, never touch the cord or socket with wet hands.
• Do not fill the unit while it is plugged in.
• Always fill the unit with water a little above the fill line that is inside the
cleaning tank. You will see an indentation in the metal on the inside of the
unit’s tank, approximately .75 inch from the top of the tank, and this is the
minimum fill line.
• Always unplug the unit immediately after use and before emptying.
• To avoid electric shock, NEVER immerse the unit into water or any other
kind of liquid.
• NEVER fill the tank with Abrasive or Corrosive Chemicals such as
Mineral Spirits, Lacquer Thinner, Xylene, Acetone, etc.
• NEVER leave the unit unattended when plugged in.

SWEEPING FUNCTION
Sweep Technology is featured in all of our X-Tronic Ultrasonic Cleaners. An
ultrasonic cleaner with a Sweeping Function uses multiple ultrasonic frequencies
in one tank no matter how many transducers are built into the unit. In ultrasonic
cleaning, sweeping is defined as a purposeful deviation from the center
frequency during operation as a function of time. The result of using this function
is there will be no dead spots in the cleaning tank and will make for a much
superior cleaning result of your object.
Ultrasonic cleaners without the Sweeping Function use just one single frequency
to create the cavitation effect in the unit and this means that there will be dead
spots in the cavitation and thus the cleaning of that object will be inferior.
By using the Sweeping Function, every object you put in your tank to be cleaned
will have perfect uniform cavitation cleaning that object with no dead spots.
Our recommendation is to use the Sweeping Function every time you
ultrasonically clean any object because with Ultrasonic Sweep Cleaning we know
you will be much more satisfied with the results.
DEGASSING FUNCTION
All X-Tronic Ultrasonic Cleaners also feature a Degassing Function.
A degassing process should be undertaken each time fresh cleaning solutions
are prepared. You have the option of not degassing fresh ultrasonic cleaning
solutions but the penalty is decreased cleaning efficiency and effectiveness.
The Degassing Function pulses the ultrasonic power on and off. During the on
phase the bubbles form and coalesce, and during the off phase they rise to the
surface and burst. This is why cleaners equipped with a degassing function are
more efficient than those not so equipped.
So when you mix a fresh cleaning solution in your tank, we highly recommend
that you turn on the Degassing Feature and run it for approximately 5 minutes.
PIEZOELECTRIC TRANSDUCERS
All X-Tronic Ultrasonic Cleaners are manufactured with Piezoelectric Transducers
which have high efficiency, large amplitude, low heat, and stable output
unaffected by variations in load.
The high mechanical quality of Piezoelectric transducers ensures that these
sandwich-type ultrasonic transducers offer high electro-acoustical efficiency and
low heat generation. The mechanical connection of the Piezoelectric elements
assures a large amplitude output.
