I recently bought one very similar to this https://tinyurl.com/ygmx5d9b
(link goes to eBay) and it appears to be very easy to operate being as
there are only two parameters to set, time and temperature.

However, they don't give any help in actually using the thing, such as
what temperature to set it at and for how long!

Our first use for it is that we have some old jewellery that we want to
clean up (couple of gold chains, a gold ring with an amethyst centre
stone and small diamonds around it and a few other pieces) so does
anyone have suggestions for time and temp settings on the cleaner?

It will probably also get used for cleaning up a car part or two and
maybe a printed circuit board or two as well (not at the same time), so
what settings would I use in those situations?

Depends on the solution you use.

I'd be careful of printed circuit boards if they have any legends screen
printed on them, I did that once at work and erased the whole lot in a
couple of minutes. What fluid is it going to use? The one we had used a kind
of spirit of some kind.

Beware of using one on that Austrian Crystal too, a lot of those are made
from several parts and they are glued using an adhesive that has similar
optical qualities to the crystal, but they do come apart in ultrasonic
baths, Also if stones were set but also had small blobs of adhesive under
them they will become loose and may fall out if it attacks the glue.

So can nobody come up with some actual numbers then?

I'd be inclined to read the manual of one that's likely decent:

https://uk.rs-online.com/web/p/ultra...aners/1249722/

and take it from there. I've got a small basic cleaner and the instructions
say luke warm water and a drop of washing up liquid, and basically run it for
as long as it takes. Seems to work in my very limited experience.

Incidentally - does anyone clean their specs in them? I did once before I read
the instructions - nice and clean and no apparent damage.

I havent been game to try it yet, I normally do get coated lenses.

I should try it with some old ones that are no longer useful, but those
came from a different operation and so isnt really that certain proof.

I did get the ultrasonic cleaner for that reason when it was cheap at Aldi.

I do, but not very often, I had one pair where the ant-reflective
coating peeled of in patches ... probably had scratches to start with
though.

Right, but you will keep blathering away about it anyway, in your known
obnoxious manner.

TBH when I used these back in the day with chemistry that made me feel
utterly sick - chlorinated hydrocarbons, now totally banned, we just
used to suck it and see.

I don't recall heat being part of it. Just ultrasonics

They are not complicated. You need a solvent for what ever it is you
want to dissolve. Can be just water. And the time is however long it
takes to get it clean.

What washing powder, temperature and time do you use in your washing
machine?

How long is a piece of string?

I remember Heathkit use to sell a kit for one of these - popular kit
