Please note! When a large quantity of distilled water is refilled,
the floating body does not immediately indicate the correct
filling level as the specific density of distilled water is lower than
that of the electrolyte. Immediately after filling of a large quantity
of distilled water the floating body indicates a filling level which
is lower than the actual level. Therefore, refilling of distilled
water must be done step by step. The unit must be switched on
and the gas production started for approx. 30 to 60 seconds
between each refilling step.
NOTE
1. If the floating body in the filling duct is no longer visible, refill
max. 0.2 litre distilled water.
How to proceed:
refilling of distilled
water
2. Switch on the unit at the
on/off
key
at the operating panel
to start the gas production. The filling duct can remain open.
Caution! Risk of fire and explosion! Keep away from
ignition sources!
Switch off the gas production after approx. 30 seconds at
the
on/off
key
3.
at the operating panel.
4. Check the filling level again:
a. If the floating body in the filling duct is still not visible,
repeat steps 1. to 3.
b. If the floating body in the filling duct is now visible refill
only a small quantity of distilled water until the floating
body is level with the filling duct edge.
5. Screw the closing cap back onto the filling duct and tighten
it.

Refilling of vapourizer liquid
During operation of the unit, the vapourizer liquid is consumed.
It may be necessary to refill the vapourizer liquid.
When the level of the liquid in the vapourizer glass has gone
down to the sintered gas distributor (
see illustration 5.4.C
.) refill
vapourizer liquid.
Check of filling level of
vapourizer liquid
The filling level of the vapourizer liquid can only be checked
with switched-on unit and built-up operating pressure.
After the unit has been switched off, there is a negative
pressure in the electrolyte reactor. This may lead to the suction
of vapourizer liquid into the compensation tank in the vapourizer
glass (
illustration 8.1.3.G
.). After switch-on and build-up of the
operating pressure the vapourizer liquid that has been sucked
into the compensation tank is pressed back into the vapourizer
glass.
