Note:
Rinse thoroughly after each cycle. We recommend ultrasonic cleaning and electrolytic
degreasing. After cleaning, the product is dried without stains. It can now be covered with a
cover pen, for example, or glued with adhesive film.
Attention:
It is essential to make sure that the surfaces to be coated (galvanized) must no
longer be touched with the hands or other skin parts, possibly wear gloves.
3.2 Electroplating
• For galvanizing, the workpiece to be machined is contacted with the product clamp.
• Set the voltage regulator to the appropriate voltage (LED).
• Draw electrolyte from the electrolyte container with the felt of the electrode pin.
• For electroplating, slide the electrode pin evenly over the surface of the workpiece several
times, whereby between the surface of the goods and the felt of the electrode pin there should
be a thin electrolyte film.
• After galvanizing, rinse the product immediately in water to prevent staining and to avoid
chemical attack. Then remove the cover surface or adhesive film and degrease again, if
necessary. Then rinse and dry again.
• Leave the felt in the pen (replace the soiled felt) and thoroughly soak again with the same
electrolytes during a new process.
Attention:
The electrolytes must not be mixed. Different felts should be used for different
electrolytes, as the electrolytes may become unusable due to carryover. In order not to
contaminate the electrolyte in the reservoir, used electrolyte should not be returned to the
original bottle.
4. Sources of error
4.1 The goods accept electrolyte only partially:
•
The product is stained or oxidized
- Degrease the product thoroughly (see Chapter 3.1)
- The felt must be completely soaked with electrolyte.
•
The felt is dirty.
- Change felt.
4.2 No deposit takes place
•
There is no contact between the rectifier and the product.
- Check the contact from the rectifier to the product terminal
(black socket - cathode cable - terminal - commodity)
•
The goods are protected against tarnishing.
- Remove the varnish.
•
The power cord has not been plugged in or the device is not switched on.
- Check that the power cord is plugged into the power outlet.
- Check that the device is switched on.
•
The fuse is defective.
- The device must be checked and repaired by an authorized technician
