If the gas supply line is attached to the wall, the rear side of the generator must be
accessible to permit the easy attachment of the gas capillary tube supply line with a flat

Differentsourcesofhydrogengascanbeusedtosupplythegenerator:
1. An independent electrolytic hydrogen gas generator producing very pure hydrogen,
99.999%atsufficientpressure(P>6bar)andflow(≥0.4NL/min).
2. A pressurised cylinder (200 bar) located in a remote room or outside the building. The
cylinderwitharegulatorsuppliesametaldistributionlinemadeofstainlesssteelorcopper

gas outlet, a
manual stop valve, a pressure regulator, a pressure gauge, a purge valve, and a flow
limiter.Theoptionalhydrogensupplypanelcontainsallnecessaryprovisions(seesection
