Before connecting the Delta F oxygen cell(s), you must check it for
damage and/or leakage. Depending on the application, the oxygen
cell may have a top drain or both a top and bottom drain for the
electrolyte reservoir. It is important to identify which type of cell you
have for the following procedure. Use Figure 1-1 below to identify
your cell. To check the cell for leakage:
1. Remove the top of the electrolyte reservoir.
IMPORTANT: If your cell also has a bottom drain, make sure that
the electrolyte discharge valve, mounted on the rear
of the oxygen cell, is closed (in the vertical position).
See Figure 1-1 below.
2. Add approximately three ounces (100 ml) of distilled water to the
reservoir and replace the top.
3. Using the min/max window on the oxygen cell, check the water
level (see Figure 1-2 on page 1-3).The water should cover about
60% of the window.
