3.2.5  Filling the water bottle 

 

The use of any water, other than deionized water (Deionized, ASTM II, >1 MΩ, <1µS, filtered to <100µm), within this 

generator will damage and reduce the life time of the hydrogen cell. 
 
Fill the water bottle, as shown in figure 6, using fresh deionized water to a level approximately 15mm below the upper lip of the neck 
of the bottle. If the generator is powered up an audible and visual indication will be given when the correct level is reached. Wearing 
suitable gloves to prevent contamination, insert the deionizer cartridge into the water bottle and fit the cap securely. 
 

3.2.6  Water supply (generators fitted with Auto Water Fill) 
 

The water fill allows the generator's water bottle to be gravity fed from a suitable deionized water supply. When the water level falls 
below the mid-point, the water bottle will be replenished from the deionized water supply. Auto water fill is included with all 
H2PEMPD- 1100 and 1300. For H2PEMPD- 850, 650, 510 order part number XX-XXXX. 
 
Connect the deionized water supply to the automatic water fill inlet using the ada

ptor provided and clean 1/4” PTFE tubing. It is 

recommended that a balance line is fitted at the inlet to prevent air locks. Flush the line through to remove any trapped air. Refer to 
“Technical Specification” on page 3 for water supply requirements.

3.3 Options Board Accessory 

 
The options board is designed for connection to Safe Extra Low Voltage (SELV) systems only. Maximum 12vdc 50mA. 
 
 

 
The options board accessory allows direct communication with a PC via the USB port, and connection of water monitoring, remote 
alarm, and remote stop circuits. For applications requiring load balancing, please contact your local Parker Hannifin office.
