Safety Glasses
Nitrile Gloves
Clean 5L container
The module must be drained for transport, installation and before the routine changing of the
electrolyte in the device to prolong its lifetime. To do this the device must be first switched into
Maintenance Mode, using Enapter mobile app or cloud. Follow the steps outlined on the app or use
the instructions below.
Collect the liquid in an appropriate container and place in a chemical waste container. Do not flush to
sewer! Dispose of the liquid in compliance with local and national regulations.
Warning! Refer to the Material Safety Data Sheet (MSDS) of all chemicals
used, before handling them. All persons draining and handling the
electrolyte from the devices must be informed about any potential
hazards involved with their activities.
Attention: Wear appropriate Personal Protective Equipment. Avoid any
contact with eyes and skin.
If you get in contact with the drained solution, immediately wash the
affected area and refer to the material safety data sheet of potassium
hydroxide and potassium carbonate.
Attention: Carefully read the instructions below before beginning to work.
Follow the instructions – if you have any questions, please contact the
Enapter support team.
Ensure all material used to store and contain your electrolyte solution is
chemically compatible with its contents.
1. Put on PPE. The minimum required equipment are safety goggles to protect from splashes
and nitrile gloves. Ensure your working area is clean to avoid chemical contamination and
potential exposure hazards. Enable maintenance mode using the Enapter App.
2. Attention: the device should be kept powered on, if possible.
3. Prepare the container to catch the drained liquid and insert the end of the drainpipe into it.
4. Take out any tube or fitting attached to the "O2 VENT" to let the air fill into the tank when the
solution is drained.
5. Fully insert the supplied male CPC quick connector into the valve bulkhead labelled
"FILL/DRAIN". The solution will start pouring out immediately.
6. Collect the drained liquid in an appropriate container and place in a chemical waste container.
Do not flush to sewer. Dispose of the liquid in compliance with local and national regulations.
7. Once electrolyte stops pouring, safely remove the drain connector. To disconnect, push the
button and pull the connector out of the bulkhead.
