•
Ensure that all the electrical and gas connections have been duly installed;
•
Preparation of the conditioning solution (see below);
•
First filling of the process tank;
•

Solution Included in Shipment
The initial solution to fill the process tank inside the EL2.0 is shipped with the device, barring restrictions from the
courier or local laws.
Before powering on the device, please finish reading the rest of the manual. Carefully prepare your work area for
the commissioning of the electrolyser.
PREPARATION OF THE CONDITIONING SOLUTION
Prepare the conditioning solution by following point “
a
”
if the device is supplied with the chemical powder
or point “
b
”
if it is supplied with a diluted substance:
a
Potassium hydroxide powder: solve the total content of the supplied jar of potassium hydroxide
(40 g) into 4 litres of demineralized water in a dedicated vessel;
b
Potassium hydroxide aqueous solution: pour the total content of the supplied jars into a dedicated
vessel.
WARNING!
Handle in accordance with good industrial hygiene and safety practice and wear
appropriate PPE
as specified by the KOH’s Material Safety Data Sheet. Avoid any
contact with eyes and skin
.
Since the electrolytic process consumes only water, replenishment of the conditioning solution is only required when
the device is used for the very first time or after a complete emptying of the internal water tank.
The refill must be done using
demineralized water only.
IMPORTANT
Every time the process tank is completely emptied, (e.g. for servicing) it is necessary to
prepare the solution as per the following table:
