- Keep the unit away from flammable materials and excessive moisture.
3. Cumponenti è cuntrolli di u pruduttu
The SMT Ultrasonic Homogenizer UH-50 consists of a main control unit and an ultrasonic vibrator with a hand pulser. Familiarize yourself with the components and controls shown below.
Figure 1: SMT Ultrasonic Homogenizer UH-50 Overview
This image displays the main control unit of the SMT Ultrasonic Homogenizer UH-50 on the left, connected to the ultrasonic vibrator on the right. The control unit features a "MONITOR" display, a "POWER" switch, "CONSTANT" and "HAND" mode selector, "TUNE" and "OUTPUT" adjustment knobs. A yellow label on top of the main unit warns against dry operation. The vibrator is a slender, metallic component with a tip.
Descrizzione di u pannellu di cuntrollu:
- Interruttore POWER: Accende è spegne l'unità.
- MONITOR Display: Shows the current output level or other operational parameters.
- CONSTANT/HAND Selector:
- COSTANTE: Continuous ultrasonic operation.
- MANU: Operation controlled by the hand pulser switch.
- Manopola TUNE: Adjusts the ultrasonic frequency for optimal performance.
- Manopola OUTPUT: Controls the ultrasonic power output (amplitudine).
- Hand Pulser: A switch located on the vibrator cable for convenient start/stop of ultrasonic vibration when in HAND mode.
4. Setup
- Unpacking: Eliminate cù cura tutti i cumpunenti da l'imballu. Verificate chì tutte e parti sianu presenti secondu a lista d'imballu.
- Placement: Place the main control unit on a stable, flat, and dry surface, ensuring adequate ventilation around the unit.
- Connect Vibrator: Connect the ultrasonic vibrator cable securely to the designated port on the main control unit.
- Cunnessione di putenza: Ensure the POWER switch is in the "OFF" position. Connect the power cord to the main control unit and then to a grounded AC100V, 50/60Hz power outlet.
- Ispezione iniziale: Before first use, visually inspect the vibrator tip for any damage or wear.
5. Operating Instructions
Always ensure the vibrator tip is immersed in the sample liquid before starting operation to prevent damage from dry running.
- Preparate SampLe: Piazzà u vostru sample in an appropriate vessel. Ensure the vessel is suitable for ultrasonic treatment and can withstand the energy generated.
- Immerse Vibrator: Carefully immerse the tip of the ultrasonic vibrator into the sample liquid. Ensure the tip is sufficiently submerged but not touching the bottom or sides of the vessel.
- Power On: Turn the POWER switch to the "ON" position. The MONITOR display should illuminate.
- Selezziunà u Modu:
- For continuous operation, set the selector to "CONSTANT".
- For intermittent operation controlled by the hand pulser, set the selector to "HAND".
- Adjust TUNE: Slowly adjust the TUNE knob until the MONITOR display shows the highest stable reading, indicating optimal resonance.
- Set OUTPUT: Adjust the OUTPUT knob to the desired ultrasonic power level. The system will automatically control the output to maintain a constant amplatitudine.
- Start Homogenization:
- In "CONSTANT" mode, homogenization will start immediately.
- In "HAND" mode, press and hold the switch on the hand pulser to start homogenization. Release the switch to stop.
- Prucessu di monitoru: Observe the homogenization process. Adjust OUTPUT or TUNE as necessary.
- Cumpiimentu: Once homogenization is complete, turn the OUTPUT knob to minimum, then turn the POWER switch to "OFF".
- Clean Vibrator: Carefully remove the vibrator from the sample and clean it immediately according to the maintenance instructions.
6. Mantenimentu
Regular maintenance ensures the longevity and optimal performance of your SMT Ultrasonic Homogenizer UH-50.
- Cleaning the Vibrator Tip: After each use, thoroughly clean the vibrator tip to prevent sample residue buildup. Use appropriate cleaning agents for the materials being processed. Rinse with distilled water and dry completely.
- Pulizia di l'unità principale: Wipe the exterior of the main control unit with a soft, damp cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaners or allow liquids to enter the unit.
- Ispezione: Periodically inspect the vibrator tip, cable, and connectors for any signs of wear, damage, or corrosion. Replace damaged parts immediately.
- Conservazione: Conservate l'unità in un ambiente pulitu è asciuttu quandu ùn hè micca in usu.
7. Risoluzione di prublemi
If you encounter issues with your SMT Ultrasonic Homogenizer UH-50, refer to the following common problems and solutions:
- Nisun putere:
- Check if the power cord is securely connected to both the unit and the power outlet.
- Assicuratevi chì a presa di corrente hè funziunale.
- Verify the POWER switch is in the "ON" position.
- No Ultrasonic Vibration:
- Ensure the vibrator tip is properly immersed in liquid.
- Check the TUNE and OUTPUT knob settings. Adjust TUNE for optimal resonance.
- If in "HAND" mode, ensure the hand pulser switch is pressed.
- Inspect the vibrator cable for damage.
