Water Refill
Additional maintenance tasks required by the Hydrogen system in the generator are: chang-
ing the desiccant cartridge (when the beads turn color or clear), replacing the DIO Resin Bed
cartridge (approximately every 6 months), and refilling the water reservoir (weekly). See the
Installation and Operation section for details. A summary of the replacement part numbers
and recommended service frequency is shown at the end of the Maintenance section.
If necessary, the FID gas station may be wiped clean with a dry cloth on an as needed basis.
Do not use water, aerosols, or other cleaning agents to clean the unit
. Use of any liquid
detergent to clean the generator could present an electrical hazard.
Do not use commercial leak detection fluids on any Lexan plastic parts in the genera-
tor.
These fluids may cause cracking and crazing which leads to part failure. Use a solution
of 4-5 ml of liquid dish soap in one liter of water.
Refill the water in the generator whenever the water level reaches the REFILL level displayed
on the front panel. Two audio bleeps will be heard as soon as the Refill level is activated. If
the FID 1000 and FID 2500 is connected to an external DIO Water source and is permanently
connected, the unit will be remotely filled using the Autofill function of the generator.
The water reservoir should last approximately 1 week when the reservoir is filled to the FULL
level.
If the LOW WATER level indicator is activated, a distinct constant audio bleep will be heard,
until DIO water is added to the generator. The FID 1000 generator will stop producing hy-
drogen to safeguard the Hydrogen cell from permanent damage. Add water to the generator
until the FULL level is reached. The unit will automatically start to produce Hydrogen as soon
as the Refill level has been passed, while filling the unit (see Figure 11 for Display Modes).
