Performance
Check your cleaner periodically to test the level of activity of the ultrasonic cavitation. Frequency of testing will depend on your use of the cleaner, however, we suggest running this test monthly.
Glass Slide Test
You will need the following equipment:
∙Frosted microscope glass slide (1” x 3”), such as ESCO #2951F, or equivalent;
∙No. 2 lead pencil; and
∙General purpose dish detergent.
Test procedure:
1.Prepare a fresh solution with general purpose dish detergent (concentration 1%) and warm tap water (120º - 140ºF).
2.Fill the cleaner to within one(1) inch of the tank top.
3.Turn the ultrasonics on for at least five minutes to allow for degassing.
4.Prepare the glass slide by first wetting the frosted portion with tap water.
5.With the No. 2 pencil, on the frosted portion make an “X” from corner to corner.
6.Immerse the frosted end of the slide into the solution. Hold the slide vertically and center it in the solution.
7.Turn ultrasonic switch to “On”.
