1. Place a washer over each of the four bolts.
Insert the bolts into one of the housing plates
and turn them so the housing plate rests upon
the bolt heads (If the black fittings are removed
from the housing plate, this operation can be
performed on a flat bench top).
2. Place one of the perforated plates on the
acrylic housing. The thicker side of the seal
should face the acrylic housing plate.
3. If you have started to assemble from the
anode side first, then place the anode metallic
diffusion medium onto perforated plate, proceed
as follows:
• Place the metallic diffusion medium on the
perforated plate.
• Ensure the orientation of the metallic
diffusion medium is correct. The perforated
plates would have black colored overmold
and the metallic diffusion medium needs to
stay within that area that looks like a frame.
• Ensure the electrode is centered and not
overlapping on the overmold area.
4. Remove the membrane from the deionized
water, holding it at two opposite corners.
Place it, while still wet, upon the metallic
diffusion media. The anode catalyst side
(matte finish) has to face towards the metallic
diffusion medium and physically contact it. The
membrane and metallic diffusion medium are
held in position by the moisture.
Assembly
Before refitting the membrane, allow it to soak for at least 5 minutes in deionized water.
