2.4.1 Environment
The equipment should be located indoors in an environment that protects it from direct sunlight, moisture, and dust. Changes in
temperature, humidity, and airborne pollution will affect the environment in which the equipment is operating and consequently may
impair the safety and operation.
It is the customers' responsibility to ensure that the environmental conditions specified in table 2 are maintained.
2.4.2 Space Requirements
The equipment should be mounted on a flat surface, capable of withstanding the weight of the equipment and all ancillary parts. A
minimum clearance of 150mm (5.9in) should be provided on all sides of the generator for air flow. Additional space should be
provided so that the generator can be moved to allow unrestricted access to the generator during servicing and maintenance.
Do Not
block the side vents or the fans located on the rear panel of the generator.
When considering the vertical clearance you must take into account the height required when the front upper access panel is in the
open position. Refer to table 3 for overall dimensions of the equipment.
Do Not
position the equipment so that it is difficult to operate or disconnect from the electrical supply.
2.4.3 Ventilation Requirements
The accumulation of hydrogen can displace oxygen thereby creating an asphyxiation hazard. Always ensure that
the equipment is operated in a well-ventilated area.
2.4.4 Water Supply Requirements
Generators fitted with an automatic water fill system maintain the water level from a gravity fed fresh deionized water supply. Refer
to “Technical Specification” on page 3 for the supply requirements.
The use of any water, other than deion
ized water (Deionized, ASTM II, >1 MΩ, <1µS, filtered to <100µm), within this
generator will damage and reduce the lifetime of the hydrogen cell.
The generator should be connected t
o the supply using 1/4” PTFE tubing (1/4” PTFE supplied).
Note
. The automatic water fill
system is available as a factory or field fit optional extra. Contact Parker Hannifin for further details.
2.4.5 Electrical Supply Requirements
The equipment should be connected directly from the fused IEC 320 inlet socket to the electrical supply using the appropriate power
cord supplied. The equipment should be positioned so that it can be connected to the electrical supply without the use of an
extension cord.
It is the customer’s responsibility to provide a fused electrical supply to the equipment (Refer to table 2 for the electrical
specification). It is recommended that this supply have surge protection.
The equipment is connected to protective earth (ground) through the power cord. It is essential that electrical
supply is equipped with a protective earth (ground) terminal. If an alternative power cord is used to connect the
equipment to the electrical supply, ensure that it is suitably rated for the application and contains a protective
earth (Ground) conductor.
