1. Fill the correct amount of distilled water into a temperature-
resistant and alkaline-resistant container.
How to produce
electrolyte solution
2. Add the correctly measured quantity of potassium hydroxide
carefully and slowly, keep stirring the mixture.
Caution!
The liquid may splash. Strong reactions due to
self-activated heating and the forming of vapours are
possible. Observe the safety warnings indicated in this
section!
3. Keep stirring the liquid until the potassium hydroxide has
completely dissolved.
4. Let the heated alkaline solution cool down.
1. Unscrew the closing cap from the filling duct (
see illustration
5.2.D
.) at the electrolyte reactor.
How to fill electrolyte
solution
2. Place the clean funnel (included in the delivery volume) onto
the filling duct.
3. Carefully pour approx. 4/5 of the electrolyte (total quantity
see table in this section) into the filling duct of the reactor.
4. Carefully insert the glass floating body into the filling duct of
the reactor, with the thin end up. The marking on the floating
body must be level with the edge of the duct. If necessary
refill liquid.
The glass floating body must not stand out from the edge of
the duct by more than 5 mm.
Caution!
In case of an overfilling there is a risk of damage
to the unit. If the reactor has been overfilled the excess
electrolyte must be removed from the reactor (for this
carefully read and observe the relevant safety warnings and
instructions in
section 8.7
.!).
The glass floating body remains in the filling duct for future
filling level checks.
5. Screw the closing cap back onto the filling duct and tighten
it.
6. The filling process is now finished.
