User Manual ECC-Opto-10 Working principle of the ECC-Opto-10 (side-by-side setup of electrodes): Inspection area (up to 18 mm) Sapphire glass window Electrode 2 Electrode 1 Lid sealing (PE) Sample holder Plunger Glass fiber separator Inner sleeve II Compression spring Electrode 1 pin...
Electrode R diameter: <= 10 mm 3 Intended use The ECC-Opto-10 test cell is an electrochemical measuring instrument designed for use in a laboratory environment. It may only be used by trained personnel and only as described in this manual.
User Manual ECC-Opto-10 5 Assembly Generally, all assembly steps are to be carried out in inert glove box atmosphere . All components used are to be dried upfront in a vacuum oven at 80°C for at least 12 hours. Once fully assembled, the cell is hermetically sealed so that it may be operated in ambient atmosphere.

User Manual ECC-Opto-10 15. Insert the second foil seal. 16. Drop the electrolyte onto the separator / electrodes. Use only the amount of electrolyte necessary to impregnate the porous material. Avoid an excess of electrolyte. Typically, less than 50 µl of electrolye is suitable. Note that electrolyte will be squeezed out of the separator when the cell lid is attached.
User Manual ECC-Opto-10 19. The ECC-Opto-10 is now ready for testing. 6 Connecting the test cell Connect your potentiostat to the 2 mm sockets of the cell. Note that sockets 1 and 1S are short-circuited inside the cell housing, as are sockets 2 and 2S.
Contact the factory if anything is missing or damaged. NOTE: Damaged shipments must remain with the original packaging for freight company inspection.
