Soniclean Digital Benchtop Ultrasonic Cleaners - Manual (Page 3)

PRECAUTION & SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS.
PRECAUTIONS
Membrane keypad
The touch sensitive keypad is waterproof with easy wipe down surface. Do not operate
keys with sharp objects. If water enters under the fascia, send the unit to an authorized
Soniclean service center for repair.
Aerosols
Do not switch on ultrasonic without the lid to prevent possible dangerous aerosols from
the liquid. Keep lid and tank edge dry to reduce aerosol. Models with interlock lid must
be enabled to prevent unit operating without the lid.
Ultrasound pressure
It is recommended to cover the tank during the operation. Do not position ears directly
over bath. Noise from ultrasonic is rated around or below 85dBA. At high power the unit
can generate very high frequency pitch which is harmful to sensitive ears.
Power supply
Check that your mains supply is adequately earthed before plugging in to ensure that
the voltage is correctly rated.
Do not attempt to open the unit powered to mains which can cause an electric shock.
Opening the unit will void the Warranty, unless authorised by Soniclean. Unit is sealed
to International Protection Standard IP66/67.
Insulation tests
Insulation resistance tests can not be performed at 500Vdc due to an internal 275Vdc
surge arrestor. Tests should be limited to 250Vdc. Please refer to AS/NZS 3551-2004
“Technical management programs for medical devices”, section “5.3.4 Insulation
resistance – test specifications”.
SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
The ultrasonic vibrations of these cleaners are transferred to the water by means of a
ceramic transducer, which is bonded to the underside of the tank. These transducers
are brittle and can easily be damaged through incorrect use. However with proper care
they can give many years of reliable service. Following these directions will prolong the
life of your unit and increase the effectiveness of the cleaner.
DO NOT:
●
subject unit to mechanical or thermal shocks.
●
immerse your unit.
●
drop or place heavy or sharp objects directly in tank.
●
place objects into tank while ultrasonic cleaning is in progress.
●
overload tank as this can damage parts and is less efficient in cleaning.
●
subject tank to thermal shock, ie sudden temperature changes.
●
add hot water to a cold tank, or cold water to a hot tank.
●
use external or immersion heater or pour excessively hot or cold liquid into the
tank. This will damage your unit. Note: the temperature will rise slightly when
the ultrasonics is switched on.
●
operate without adequate liquid.
●
allow cleaning solutions to become excessively contaminated.
●
use dangerous liquids. Soniclean Pty. Ltd. does not accept responsibility for
accidents arising from the use of toxic/flammable/corrosive liquids.
