# Known Bugs List

The list below contains the most important problems in the firmware and their solutions.

  • The system stops calculation of total produced H2 after 524288.

    Solution: Update the firmware to version 1.6.0 or above. To update your device, navigate to Device Info -> Firmware and press the Check for Updates button. If you do not see an available update, you can contact our support team at support@enapter.com.

  • OTA does not finish successful to 1.5.1 without breaker.

    Solution: After completed OTA update you need to manually switch off and on the breaker on the front panel of the electrolyser.

  • Electrolyser doesn't stop during Ramp-Up if no more electrolyte left in the tank. The system must reach Steady to start Ramp-Down procedure. This might cause fatal error in case system stays in Ramp-Up and have no water supply because it will not stop production of hydrogen in 80 min timeout and will continue to work even the electrolyte will reach very low level.

    Solution: Update the firmware to version 1.10.1 or above.
