MANUAL OPERATION
Powering on the device
To power the device on ensure that the power cable is connected properly and that all water, vent, purge and
hydrogen pipes are properly connected and secured as described in this manual.
Then
push the start button for 3 seconds
, this will start the electrolyser.
EL2.0 start-up and ramp
If the conditioning solution inside the module is within the operating temperature range, the EL2.0 will first enter a
90 second hydration cycle, in which the process pump begins to cycle electrolyte around the module. Otherwise, a
short heating and hydration cycle will take place first. After the heating/hydration cycle the electrolyser will start
ramping up, it will immediately start producing hydrogen.
Shutting down the device safely
In order to manually shut down the device safely, simply press and release the start/stop button on the front panel
of the electrolyser module. The device will ramp down, start the refilling procedure of the process tank and then
turn itself off. The device will be in standby mode until either the power is disconnected from the device or the
module is started again.
WARNING!
Do not unplug/disconnect the power to the EL2.0 without shutting down the device safely either
manually or via software control
. Unexpected power cuts can shorten the device’s lifetime and damage
the system!
