Warranty
This warranty applies to the generator and associated parts (the equipment) manufactured and supplied by Parker Hannifin Ltd.,
Industrial Division (the company).
Use of the generator without the recommended water quality or genuine parts will expressly invalidate the warranty.
It should be noted that the generator must be installed and running within three months of dispatch from the company to ensure
the optimum efficiency of the PEM cell. If this is not adhered to the warranty will be invalid. Should the equipment be defective as
to materials or workmanship, the company warrants that it will remedy such defect. Where the equipment is the generator, the
warranty period will be 12 months from date of commissioning or 18 months from date of manufacture, whichever comes first.
Where the equipment is the PEM CELL, the warranty period will be 24 months from date of commissioning. In the case of
equipment other than the generator, the warranty period shall commence from the date of dispatch.
Should any defect occur during the warranty period and be notified in writing to the company or its authorised distributor within
the said period, the company will, as its sole option, remedy such defect by repair or provision of a replacement part, provided
that the equipment has been used strictly in accordance with the instructions provided with each item of equipment and has been
stored, installed, commissioned, operated and maintained in accordance with such instruction and with good practice. The
company shall not be under any liability whatsoever under the warranty, if, before giving notification in writing to the company as
aforesaid, the Customer or any third party meddles, interferes, tampers with or carries out work whatsoever (apart from normal
maintenance as specified in the said instructions) in relation to the equipment or any part thereof.
Any accessories, parts and equipment supplied by the company but not manufactured by the company shall carry whatever
warranty the manufacturer has given the company providing it is possible for the company to pass on such warranty to the
customer.
To claim under the warranty, the goods must have been installed and continually maintained in the manner specified in the User
Guide. Our product support engineers are qualified and equipped to assist you in this respect. They are also available to make
repairs that may become necessary in which event they will require an official order before carrying out the work. If such work is
to be the subject of a warranty claim, the order should be endorsed for consideration under warranty.
Where equipment is sold outside the UK mainland direct to the end user the warranty will cover parts only. Any substitution of
parts not manufactured or approved by the company will expressly invalidate the warranty.

Do Not block the side vents or the fans located on the rear panel of the generator.
When considering the vertical clearance you must take into account the height required when the front upper access panel is in the open
position. Refer to table 2.2 for overall dimensions of the equipment.
Do Not position the equipment so that it is difficult to operate or disconnect from the electrical supply.
2.6.3 Ventilation Requirements
The accumulation of hydrogen can displace oxygen thereby creating and asphyxiation hazard. Always ensure that the equipment is operated
in a well ventilated area.
2.6.4 Water Supply Requirements

Generators fitted with automatic water fill system maintain the water level from a gravity fed fresh deionised water supply. Refer to “Technical
Specification” on page 3 for the supply requirements.
The use of any water, other than deionised water (Deionised, ASTM II, >1 M, <1S, filtered to <100m), within this generator will damage and
reduce the life time of the hydrogen cell.
The generator should be connected to the supply using 1/4” Tygon or PTFE tubing (not supplied).
Note. The automatic water fill system is available as a factory or field fit optional extra. Contact Parker Hannifin for further details.
2.6.5 Electrical Supply Requirements

The equipment should be connected directly from the fused IEC 320 inlet socket to the electrical supply using the power cord supplied. The
equipment should be positioned so that it can be connected to the electrical supply without the use of an extension cord.
It is the customers responsibility to provide a fused electrical supply to the equipment (Refer to table 2.1 for the electrical specification). It is
recommended that this supply have surge protection.
The equipment is connected to protective earth (ground) through the power cord. It is essential that electrical supply is equipped with a

3.2 Connecting the generator
3.2.1 Environmental filters

Remove the transit plugs from the vent ports, on the rear of the generator, and fit the
environmental filters as shown.
3.2.2 Hydrogen outlet port

Refer to “Recommended system layout” on page 8 for the desired system configuration.
The generator should be connected to the application instrument using either high quality
stainless steel tube or grade (B-280) copper tube. Remove the protective dust cap from
the hydrogen outlet port compression fitting. Insert the tube into the outlet port fitting and
rotate the tube nut until finger tight. Using a spanner (wrench) tighten the nut one and
one-quarter (1 14) turns. When cutting the tubes always use the correct tools to allow a
clean perpendicular cut. Cutting tubes will cause debris that, if not removed, may damage
the downstream instrumentation. It is recommended that all pipes are purged to remove
any debris that may exist. When routing the tubes ensure that they are adequately
supported to prevent damage and leaks in the system.
All components used within the system must be rated to at least the maximum operating
pressure of the equipment. Always protect the system by installing suitably rated
pressure relief valves.
To prevent injury, and damage to the application instrument, the system piping will require purging for at least 15 minutes to remove any
trapped oxygen. If using a 3-way ball valve with vent line, as recommended on page 8, ensure that the valve is open to the vent line and not to
the application instrument. If a ball valve is not being used, ensure that the application instrument is not connected to the system piping.
Refer to “Commissioning the Generator” on page 11 for details on purging.
3.2.3 Drain ports

The overflow drain and the water bottle spillage drain must be permanently piped away using 1/2” and 1/4” Tygon or PTFE tubing respectively.
The tube connected to the overflow drain should have a u-bend to prevent contamination of the internal water bottle. Always check with local
guidelines for disposing of deionised water.
3.2.4 Electrical supply

Check the rating plate for the correct supply voltage and frequency. Select the required power cord and connect it to the switched IEC 320
socket on the generator. Connect the plug directly to the electrical supply. Do not use an extension cord.
3.2.5 Filling the water bottle
The use of any water, other than deionised water (Deionised, ASTM II, >1 M, <1S,
filtered to <100m), within this generator will damage and reduce the life time of the
hydrogen cell.
Fill the water bottle using fresh deionised water to a level approximately 15mm below the
upper lip of the neck of the bottle. If the generator is powered up an audible and visual
indication will be given when the correct level is reached.
Wearing suitable gloves to prevent contamination, insert the deioniser cartridge into the
water bottle and fit the cap securely.
3.2.6 Water supply (generators fitted with Auto Water Fill)

The optional water fill allows the generator's water bottle to be gravity fed from a suitable
deionised water supply. When the water level falls below the mid-point, the water bottle
WA T E R F U L L
will be replenished from the deionised water supply.
Connect the deionised water supply to the automatic water fill inlet using the barbed
adaptor provided and clean 1/4” Tygon (or similar) tubing. It is recommended that a balance line is fitted at the inlet to prevent air locks. Flush

3.4 Commissioning the Generator
Ensure that a suitable vent line is provided during the commissioning stage as hydrogen will flow from the unterminated system piping.
In order to guarantee the optimum efficiency of the PEM cell, this generator must be installed and running within three months of dispatch
from Parker Hannifin. Failure to do this may invalidate the warranty.
The generator will perform a 240 minute (4 hours) initialisation sequence when powered for the first time. This sequence, which cannot be
aborted, is necessary to guarantee the correct hydration of the cell.
1 Referring to the recommended set up, use the 3-way ball valve to isolate the application instrument from the system and divert the flow to
the vent line.
If a 3-way ball valve has not been installed, disconnect the application instrument from the system and connect the open ended piping to a
suitable vent line.
2 Connect the generator to the electrical supply and switch it on at the wall socket. Turn the
generator on at the power switch (located on the rear of the generator) and wait. SE T 1 0 0 P S I F L OWX
AC T 9 0 P S I
The generator will perform a system check during which time the water bottle indicators will
illuminate blue then red, the system check LED will flash, and the software version number,
generator serial number and the company banner will be displayed on the LCD.
On completion the generator will revert to the default menu as shown. SE T 1 0 0 P S I F L OW

AC T 1 0 0 P S I
Note: Upon first use the generator may appear to stop building pressure while the
separation chamber fills with water. Should this happen, restart the generator.
3 The internal pressure (“ACT” pressure) of the generator will build up to the required operating pressure (“SET” pressure).
4 Once the required pressure is reached, the outlet valve of the generator will be opened, as indicated by “ F L O W ” on the display, and
hydrogen will flow through the system piping and out through the atmospheric vent line.
Unless a high capacity moisture trap is fitted at the inlet to the application instrument, continue running in this state for up to 48 hours to
reach the required purity.Failure to do so could damage the application instrument.
5 Close the 3-way ball valve to pressurise the system piping. Check for leaks and repair as required.
6 Open the 3-way ball valve to divert the flow to the application instrument.
During start-up the generator may revert to the last error mode it experienced. If this occurs press . When the error is cleared the
generator will continue with the start up procedure.
If the error cannot be cleared by this method follow the fault finding procedure in section 6 of this user guide.
If the pressure envelope of the system has been breached it will be necessary to run through this procedure when starting the generator.

5.3 Consumable Replacement Procedures
5.3.1 Draining the water bottle (A)

Locate the drain port on the rear of the generator and insert the drain line (1). Ensure that the line is locked in position to obtain a complete seal.
Leave the water to drain into a suitable container, then press the lock (2) downwards and remove the line.
In order to prevent contamination and prolong the life of the cell do not reuse the old water.
5.3.2 Replacing the deioniser cartridge and 100 micron water filter (B)
Change the deioniser cartridge every 4000 hours (6 months), or if it has become contaminated.
Switch the generator into Stand by mode and remove the top front cover and the water bottle cap.
Wearing disposable gloves, remove the deioniser cartridge (3) and discard. Extract the 100 micron water filter (4) using the H2 filter replacement
tool (5). Push the tool over the filter so that the webs on the filter fit into the slots on the end of the tool. Unscrew the filter and remove it from the
water bottle.
Fit the replacement filter and ensure that it is secured into the water bottle. Refill the water bottle with deionised water, ASTM II, >1 M, <1S,
filtered to <100m, as described below, and fit the replacement deioniser cartridge.
Refit the water bottle cap and the top front cover and restart the generator.
5.3.3 Replacing the Environmental Filters (C)

Remove the three environmental filters (6) from the vent ports by pushing the push in fitting (7) upwards to release. Fit the replacement filters
and check that they are secure.
Note: Environmental filters should be changed every six months as there is no visual indication of exhausted filters.
5.3.4 Replacing the Desiccant Cartridge (D)

Depressurise the generator as specified in “Stopping the equipment and depressurising” on page 15.
Remove the top front cover. Break the seal of the cartridge using a sise 19mm open ended spanner (wrench) (8) and then unscrew it by hand.
Remove the cartridge and fit the replacement. The new cartridge should be tightened by hand and then nipped up, by a further 1/8th of a turn,
using the 19mm spanner (wrench).
Refit the top front cover and the outlet fitting. Restart the generator and initiate a self test as described in “Generator Self Test” on page 14.
5.3.5 Filling the water bottle (E)
The use of any water, other than deionised water (ASTM II, >1 M, <1S, filtered to <100m) within this generator will damage and reduce the
life time of the hydrogen cell.
Remove the top front cover and the water bottle cap (9). Fill the water bottle using fresh deionised water to a level approximately 15mm below
the upper lip of the neck of the bottle.
If the generator is powered during refilling, an audible and visual indication will be given by the generator when the correct level is reached, and
the LCD will display “Water Full” message. Once full replace the water bottle cap and top front cover.
Note: If the water has been changed due to high conductivity, the deioniser cartridge must also be changed.
