Pure dry hydrogen at regulated pressure is available at the hydrogen outlet port at the rear of the
generator. This port must be connected to 1/8” tubing using a stainless-steel or copper Swagelok
connector. Teon connectors are not suitable. The pressure at this port is adjusted and shown on the
display. The hydrogen relief port at the rear of the unit can be connected to an exhaust hood or other vent
system.
Install compressed air with a ¼” tubing to AIR IN. The air quality must meet the minimum specication
according ISO8573-1:2010 Class 1.2.1. The pressure must be between 4.5 to 10 bar (65 to 160 psig).
The AIR OUT is a 1/8” Swagelok connector.
The line from the relief port should never connect in such a way that back pressure
can develop.
Remove the plugs from the
hydrogen vent before operating the
unit and connect H2 vent to a purge
tube. Keep these plugs for
further shipments of the unit.
