Safety instructions
Electrical
Your Argon ultrasonic cleaning system is designed to be connected to a 415VAC 3P+N+E
protected (fuses, MCBs) type supply.
Connection to a 400-415VAC (3P+N+E) supply may be hard wired or via a 5 pin, 16/32A,
red BS4343 plug and socket (rating dependant on unit requirements).
It is dangerous to operate your ultrasonic bath without a connection to mains earth.
Ensure that excess mains cable is stored neatly.
General use
Ensure that the tank contains liquid before you switch it on.
Always use a basket to support items to be cleaned.
Not doing so may damage the ultrasonic cleaning system and invalidate your warranty.
Do not place hands or fingers in the tank.
Care should be taken when operating the ultrasonic cleaning system at higher
temperatures as external surfaces may become hot.
Never use toxic, flammable, acidic, caustic or corrosive solutions in the Argon Series.
Do not move the ultrasonic cleaning system when it is full of water.
Read the whole of these instructions. Safety may be impaired if they are not followed.
Ultrawave will not be responsible for damage or injury caused by incorrect use of the
equipment.
WEEE Compliance
Ultrawave is complying with the WEEE regulations by contracting our obligations to a
Producer Compliance Scheme. Once it is deemed that this ARGON ultrasonic cleaning
system is no longer effective, please contact Ultrawave to arrange collection by our
compliance scheme provider, who will pick up the machine from your premises.

Quick Install Guide
Locate the Argon ultrasonic cleaning system close to a drain.
Mount the electrical cabinet on a wall or optional stand in a suitable location to avoid
being affected by the cleaning process.
Please ensure there is at least 100mm of space on both the left- and right-hand side of
the cabinet to allow for fan filter cleaning and ventilation.
Connect all electrical connections from tank to control box matching the socket label
to the plug label:
Do route the cables between the tank and electrical cabinet in suitable open frame
cable trays keeping a separation between the sonics and sensor cables.
Do not let the cables rest on the floor creating a trip hazard
Do not let the cables rest on the floor as fluid from the process may affect the outer
insulation
Do not coil up excess cable.
Do connect the mains lead into a suitable mains outlet.
he Argon Series tanks are divided into the process area on the left and weir area on
the right. Both areas have independent drain valves fitted at the rear of the unit.
Please ensure these valves are in the closed position before filling.

he Argon Series recirculation and dual filter system is situated below the weir area,
accessible behind the front black hinged panel.
here is an isolation valve on the input and output side of the dual filter system.
Please ensure these valves handles are in line with the pipework as this is the open
position.
Before filling the unit for the first time it would be advisable to fit the recirculation filters,
please see page 11.

illing the tank
Ensure both tank drain valves are in the closed position
Ensure both recirculation isolation valves are in the open position
Fill the weir area with cold or warm water as required
Wait until the weir area is full to the top of the weir divider plate weir
Confirm water is now filling the process area via the recirculation system at the bottom
of the weir divider plate:
If no water is visible in the process area, recheck the position of the recirculation
filter isolation valves
If water is visible, move the hose to fill the process area until the upper float
pocket is covered.
he Argon Series of units are fitted with two float level sensors. he lower float allows
the heaters to operate, and the upper float allows the ultrasonic and recirculation pump
to operate. Please ensure the fluid reaches over the top level sensor or the ultrasonics
will not operate
Add the required dose of detergent (see pg. 14).
Quick Operating Guide
Switch on the machine via the switch at the front of the unit/control panel.
Press the “enter” key or the Start/Stop button to accept the programmed cleaning cycle
settings and start the cleaning cycle.
Pressing again will terminate the cycle.
At the end of the cycle, remove the basket from the bath and rinse the items under
clean running water.
REMEMBER
-Always ensure the liquid is above the float level sensor when in operation.
-Do not put hot water above 50°C into the tank.
-Always use the basket.
-Never expose hands 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 Argon Series ultrasonic cleaning system to improper treatment or
misuse will invalidate the warranty.

ull Operator instructions
Switch on the machine via the switch at the front of the unit/control panel.
Note that if the 7-day timer is activated, that will control the machine On/OFF. See the
administrator manual for details
When the Argon Ultrasonic Cleaning System is first switched on, the following screen
will appear for approximately 5 seconds.
While this screen is displayed, the buttons are inoperative. his is normal as the machine
is running through its start-up routine and checking all internal systems are working
correctly.
he top line of the display indicates the Argon Ultrasonic Cleaning System’s serial
number. his uniquely identifies the machine.
o protect the tank and for safety reasons, the Argon Series has a factory preset
minimum/maximum operating temperature, this being 6°C & 90°C for a wash/rinse
tank and 15°C & 90°C for a dryer.
After the initial start-up screen the user screen will appear:

7
Pressing the ‘enter’ button (under the flashing Start) will start a pre-set cycle:
If the unit is a wash/rinse type the cycle will now run (indicated by the ‘Running’
message) for its pre-set cycle time and any re-circulation (if fitted) will also run once at
the cycle start point and once towards the end of the cycle.
Explanation of a cycle:

8
If the unit is a dryer type the cycle will run but the cycle time will not start it’s
countdown until the ‘Set emp’ is reached at which point it will start it’s preset ‘Cycle
Rem’. his cycle will also appear if the fluid temperature is below the minimum
temperature. During this ‘warm-up’ period the screen will show a ‘Heating’ message:
he cycle can be aborted at any time by the operator, by pressing the ‘enter’ button
(under ‘Cancel’), the screen will show a ‘Operator’ message in place of ‘Running’ and the
screen will return to the initial user screen.
