•  The system is intended for teaching 

and demonstration purposes in schools, 

universities, institutions and companies 

only.

•  It may only be set up and operated by a 

competent person.

•  Read the Operating Instructions before 

setting up the PEMFC Kit. Follow them 

during use and keep them readily 

available for reference.

•  Wear protective goggles.

•  Remove inflammable gases, vapors and 

fluids from the vicinity of fuel cells and 

electrolyzers. The catalysts contained 

in the system can trigger spontaneous 

combustion.

•  Hydrogen and oxygen may 

escape from the system. To 

prevent the gases collecting 

and forming explosive 

mixtures only use the 

system in well-ventilated rooms.

•  Hoses, plugs and tanks are used for 

pressure compensation. They must 

not be fixed or secured with clamps, 

adhesive, etc.

General Safety Precautions

•  The system is not a toy. Operate the 

PEMFC Kit and keep it and the gases 

produced out of the reach of small 

children.

•  Unless specified otherwise, do not 

short-circuit or reverse the polarity of the 

terminals.

•  Do not operate the system dry. Always 

ensure that it contains sufficient water.

•  The system may only be operated in 

a display case, which is sufficiently 

ventilated at all times. The operator 

is obliged to prove this by means of 

appropriate measurements.

•  Do not smoke.

•  Only use the gas storage tanks belonging 

to or supplied with the system to store 

gas. Never connect other alternatives.

•  Only operate the system at room 

temperature and ambient pressure.
