Soniclean UPM User manual

1. Introduction

The Ultrasonic Performance Meter models Sonic-200 and
Sonic-250 (UPM) provides an indication of the

performance of an ultrasonic cleaner. It measures the
signal produced when cavitation bubbles implode on the

probe's surface and therefore indicates how effective the
ultrasonic cleaning action is. It is designed to replace the

widely used foil test with a quick, clean testing procedure.

Soniclean's Ultrasonic Performance Meter is easy to use.

The probe is lowered into the machine's tank and the
pushbutton is held to take a reading. The performance is

indicated on a LED bargraph on a scale of 1 to 10 which is
updated continuously for as long as the pushbutton is

held.

The simplicity of the meter allows it to be easily adapted

to a number of different machine characterisation
regimes. For example:

1. The performance level can be measured over a

period of time to ensure the ultrasonic cleaning

action persists as expected.

2. Measurements of the ultrasonic performance can

be made at different locations in the tank and at
different depths to confirm an even distribution of

ultrasonic activity.

3. Performance of an ultrasonic cleaner can be

monitored over its lifetime, allowing degradation
to be identified well before it becomes a problem.
