XUBA Series 29667 V1

Operating Manual

Safety instructions

Use of products

The following products are covered by this operating manual:

XUBA1, XUBA3

The products listed above are a series of general purpose ultrasonic cleaning baths

designed for indoor use by a professional user.

Electrical

Connect to a 230VAC fully earthed supply via a 3 pin plug. It can be dangerous to

operate an ultrasonic bath without an earth connected.

The mains plug is fitted with a 5A fuse. NEVER FIT A FUSE OF A HIGHER RATING.

Some baths are fitted with a detachable mains lead. These baths have a mains socket

on the rear of the bath fitted with two 20mm fuses. See rating information on page 15.

NEVER FIT A FUSE OF A HIGHER RATING.

Ensure that excess mains cable is stored neatly.

General use

Ensure that the bath is at least ¾ full of liquid before you switch it on.

Always use a basket to support items to be cleaned. Not doing so may damage the

bath and invalidate the warranty.

Do not place hands or fingers in the bath.

Care should be taken when operating the bath at higher temperatures as external sur-

faces may become hot.

Never use toxic, flammable, acidic, caustic or corrosive solutions in the bath.

Where the bath is fitted with a detachable mains lead disconnect the bath from the

mains supply before emptying. When emptying baths with no waste outlet, tip the bath

AWAY from the electrical connector and lead.

Read the whole of these instructions. Safety may be impaired if they are not followed.

Contact to Grant or its agent for advice on cleaning techniques and detergents.

Grant will not be responsible for damage or injury caused by incorrect use of the

equipment.

XUBA Series 3 29667 V1

Operating Manual

Installation

The following parts and accessories are included with the Grant analogue ultrasonic

baths:

-1 x basket

-1 x lid

-1 x Grant M2 detergent sample

How to install

Locate the bath close to a drain or sink to allow easy drainage of the tank.

Connect the mains lead into a suitable mains socket.

Ensure that the mains plug and the switch are easily accessible.

Fill the bath with water and the correct dose of detergent. The bath is now ready to

use.

XUBA Series 29667 V1

Operating Manual

Fill Line

Quick guide

Pour cold water into the bath so that it reaches the

minimum tank fill line (but does not go over the

maximum fill line).

Add the required dose of detergent (see page 10).

Operate the ultrasonics by turning the timer dial to

the required time and pressing the SONICS button

(where applicable).

Operate the heater, if the bath has a heating func-

tion, by turning the heater dial to the required tem-

perature and pressing the HEAT button.

Turn on the ultrasonics for approximately 5-10 min-

utes to degas the cleaning liquid. (See page 8 for

more details on degassing).

The bath is now ready to use.

At the end of the cycle, remove the basket from the

bath and rinse the items under clean running water.

The lid can be inverted and the basket placed on top

to catch excess fluid as the items dry.

Please refer to the following pages in this manual for more detailed instructions.

Change the cleaning liquid at regular intervals. Your cleaning process will determine

how often to change the liquid the more soiled your items, the more often you will

need to change the liquid.

Grant recommends changing the cleaning liquid at least on a daily basis.

XUBA Series 5 29667 V1

Operating Manual

REMEMBER

-Always keep the bath full of liquid when in operation.

-Do not put hot water above 50°C into the bath.

-Always use the basket to support items in the bath.

-Never expose hands, fingers or other body parts to cleaning solutions.

-Never use toxic, flammable, acidic, caustic or corrosive solutions.

-Never breathe the fumes from strong solutions.

-Rinse the items in clean water once the cycle is complete.

Subjecting the bath to improper treatment or misuse will invalidate the warranty.

Operating Manual

XUBA1 Control panel instructions

To switch on the ultrasonics:

Turn the TIME dial to the desired time, and then press the SONICS button.

The SONICS button and the SONICS light will glow. Ultrasonic activity will then

commence in the liquid inside the tank and the TIME dial will be heard ticking.

At the end of the timed period, the TIME will click off, the SONICS light will go out, and

the ultrasonic activity in the liquid will stop.

To stop the ultrasonic activity at any time, press the SONICS button while in opera-

tion.

XUBA Series 7 29667 V1

Operating Manual

XUBA3 Control panel instructions

To switch on the ultrasonics:

Turn the TIME dial to the desired time, and the press the SONICS button.

The SONICS button and the SONICS light will glow. Ultrasonic activity will then

commence in the liquid inside the tank and the Timer dial will be heard ticking.

At the end of the timed period, the TIME will click off, the SONICS light will go out, and

the ultrasonic activity in the liquid will stop.

To stop the ultrasonic activity at any time, press the SONICS button while in opera-

tion.

To operate the heater:

Turn the HEATER dial to the desired temperature, and press the HEAT button.

The HEAT button and the HEAT light will glow, and the liquid will start to heat up.

When the set temperature is reached, the HEAT light will go out.

To stop the heater at any time, press the HEAT button while in operation (ie. when the

HEAT light is already on).

NOTE: Ultrasonic activity itself will heat the liquid. This means that the liquid tempera-

ture may rise above the level indicated on the temperature dial.

The temperature dial only controls the heater cut-out temperature.

If in doubt, check the actual temperature with a thermometer.

Technical information

The need to degas

In order to allow optimum ultrasonic activity, the gases present in ordinary tap water

need to be driven out of the cleaning solution.

The time needed to degas the liquid varies depending on the amount of gas present in

the liquid and the quantity of water in the tank. Grant recommends a degas period of

at least 10 minutes.

During the degas cycle, you will see bubbles of gas forming on the inside of the bath,

and slowly rising to the surface. Degassing is complete when you can no longer see

these bubbles. Another indication that the liquid in the bath has degassed is an in-

Once the liquid is degassed, the bath is ready for use.

The effect of heat

Heating the liquid in the bath will aid

the cleaning process.

Normally a temperature of between 30

to 60°C is sufficient to accelerate the

process. You will see from the graph

that optimum cleaning will be obtained

at 60°C.

If you are using your bath to clean medical equipment, it is recommended to limit the

Ultrasonic activity itself will heat up the liquid at a rate of approximately 10-15°C per

hour if in continuous use. In order to heat the fluid in the tank at a faster rate, it is rec-

ommended to run the ultrasonics as well as turn on the heating.

Cleaning time

Cleaning time will depend on application, type and amount of contamination. General

light contamination should be removed in less than 10 minutes.

An indication of cleanliness is when stains are no longer visible, and contamination no

longer appears in a stream from the item being cleaned.
