LifeBasis CDS-100 Ultrasonic Cleaner User Manual

LifeBasis CDS-100 Ultrasonic Cleaner User Manual

INTRODUCTION

Use tap water. Chemical solutions are unnecessary in most cases.

Principles of ultrasonic cleaning:
Millions of tiny air bubbles are generated inside the liquid by high frequency vibration. The air bubbles bust inside the liquid and shake off the debris to achieve the cleaning effect.

• Purified water or distilled water has the same cleaning effect as regular tap water for ultrasonic cleaning. Therefore using tap water is sufficient.
• When cleaning silver or copper items where oxidation has darkened the items, special solutions need to be added to the water to remove the oxidation.

ITEMS NOT SUITABLE FOR ULTRASONIC CLEANING

Soft Jewelry:
Pearls, emerald, ivory, coral, agate, sea turtle shells, etc
These items are not hard, so scratches may occur during cleaning.

Welded, Plated and Glued Items:
Welded or plated metal items, glued items
Ultrasonic cleaning may enlarge the gaps inside the welded joints, plated coating or glued items and may cause separation.

Watches:
Except diver’s watches with depth rating over 50 m (150 ft).
Because the strong penetration capability of the ultrasonic waves, water may get into the watches if they are not truly waterproof. Use the watch stand supplied as a precaution if not sure.

Others:
Wood; coated glass, ceramic, camera filters with preexisting cracks.
Ultrasonic cleaning may enlarge the cracks pre-existed in the coating on the glasses, ceramic, and glass. If the items have no pre-existing cracks, then it is okay

APPLICATIONS

Optical Stores:
Optical stores can use ultrasonic cleaners to provide valuable services. Use ultrasonic cleaner and tap water to remove the debris on the lenses, hidden in the rims and nose pads so the eye wear gets professional cleaning and care.

Jewelry Stores:
Jewelry stores can use ultrasonic cleaners to expand services. Jewelry such as necklaces, diamond rings, rings,
earrings can be cleaned with tap water to recover shine.

Mobile Phone and Electronics Service Shops
PCB renewal: Non-operational electronics, after falling into water, or non- operational key pads can be cleaned with ultrasonic cleaners and pure alcohol to recover the functions.

Watch Service Shops
Precision parts cleaning: Put small parts in a beaker made of stainless steel or glass filled with lubricant oil, then place the beaker inside the cleaning tank and add water. Ultrasonic waves will penetrate the beaker and act on the parts to make them clean.

Printing Shops
Unblocking dried printer heads or ink cartridges:
Large printers and inkjet printers often have dried printer heads or ink cartridges ports. Replacing them with new ones is very costly. Adding acetone or special cleaning solution and using an ultrasonic cleaner with a couple of minutes of cleaning will remove the blockage and make them usable again.

Avoid acetone from contacting the plastic housing to prevent corrosion. Use Indirect Cleaning explained later and a glass or metal container for acetone.

Homes:
Children and baby items: Debris left in small holes and
crevices are difficult to clean by regular means. Bacteria and mold can develop at these locations. Ultrasonic cleaners can remove the debris and be combined with disinfection to achieve true cleaning.

Eyewear, watch bands, shavers, razors and other household items:
Ultrasonic cleaners can be used to clean the debris between the rim and the lenses on eyewear, between razor blades, and on the metal mesh of shavers to keep the blades sharp.

SAMPLE APPLICATIONS

Eyeglasses
Eyeglasses, sunglasses, etc.

COMMON CLEANING METHODS

REGULAR CLEANING

Use tap water only
Cleaning Method:

1. Put the items to be cleaned inside the basket and put the basket inside the tank (or put the items inside the tank directly).
2. Add water to the cleaning tank to a level between “MIN” and “MAX” lines and above the area to be cleaned. Select desired time setting by pressing Time button.
3. Press “On/Off” button to start cleaning.
   Note: During cleaning, dirt will come off like smoke and the water will become murky over time. When “smoke” stops coming, the cleaning is basically done.

ENHANCED CLEANING

Add appropriate cleaning solutions to water
Cleaning solution can be added to enhance cleaning. Dish detergent can be used in general.
Typical mixing ratio is one part of solution to ten parts of water. Once it’s done, run it with water only for another 90 seconds to remove residual cleaning solution.

USE OF OPTIONAL ACCESSORIES

BASKET
Use the basket to clean small and delicate items. Ensure items not touching each other if cleaning multiple and delicate items.

Note: Plastic basket absorbs about 30% to 40% of ultrasonic energy hence reduces cleaning effectiveness

WATCH STAND
Use the watch stand to keep watch body above water while cleaning wristband.

Important: For diver’s watch with depth less than 50 m (150 ft), water may get inside if watch body is submerged in the water using an ultrasonic cleaner.

OPERATION GUIDELINES

1. Remove the lid, place the object to be cleaned inside the basket then in the stainless steel tank.
   Note: Put small and delicate items with sharp edges into plastic basket for cleaning to avoid scratches Basket will absort about 30%-40% of ultrasonic energy hence reduce cleaning

2. Fill the tank with tap water.
   The liquid must cover the object to be cleaned, but not exceed “MAX” line.
   Dry burning over 30 seconds will reduce the span of machine, when the tank is empty without water
   What’s worse, it will damage the machine itself sometimes

3. Put the lid on, plug in the power cord

   • 180 appears in the display window.
   • This is the default time and is good for normal cleaning

4. Select desired time setting by pressing Time button:
   **1805300548056005 905

**

5. Press “On/Off” button to start the cleaning process, The timer starts to count down to zero,
   Note: You’ll hear buzzing sound which is normal

6. When the timer counts down to zero, the cleaning process stops automatically and the display shows 000.

7. If you need to end the process ahead of time, press “On/Off” button. If you need to repeat the cycle or increase the time, press Time button to select desired time then press “On/Off” button again to restart it.
   Important! Long cycle time will cause heat to build up inside the unit and water temperature to rise. Do not use the unit for more than 30 minutes continuously. Take a 10-minute break in between to prolong the life of the unit.

8. When cleaning is done, unplug the power cord, remove the lid, pour water out in the direction shown. Wipe it clean.
   Do not pour water over the power socket. If it’s wet, stop using and wait until it is dry

9. Store the unit in a cool and dry place.

An ultrasonic cleaner should be able to pierce foil paper located at the bottom of the tank under normal working condition for 90s. The bigger the hole is, the stronger cleaning ability owns. You just need a piece of foil paper and to prepare your ultrasonic cleaner and then begin your test:

1. Put the foil paper on the bottom of water tank and pour enough water.
2. Turn on the device for 90s.

CARE AND MAINTENANCE

1. Do notturnonthe unit without water in the tank.. If it is turned on for over 30 seconds without water in the tank, it may damage the unit or severely reduce the life of the unit.

2. Donotrun the unitforextended time orcontinuously. Do not run the unit continuously for over 30 minutes. Stop for about 10 minutes in between to prolong the life of the unit.

3. Donotkeepwater in the cleaning tank foral ongtime. After cleaning is completed, unplug the power cord then pour the water out through the pouring recess. Avoid getting the water inside the housing through the vents and causing damage.

4. Donots pray water over the housing. Use a towel to wipe the tank and the housing.

5. Do not expose the unit under direct sunshine for long. Keep the unit in a dry, cool and ventilated area.
