Because of this you should monitor your new unit during initial operation. Make sure that it has been properly installed and is operating to your satisfaction. Consult your HygroMatik specialists. We will test the quality of your water and advise you on installation and initial operation. Your HygroMatik steam humidifier will be carefully adapted to your particular application.
They will impress you with their safety, ease of use and econom- ical operation. In order to operate your HygroMatik steam humidifier safely, properly and efficiently, please read these operating instructions. Employ your steam humidifier only in sound condition and as directed.

2. Safety Notes 2.1 Overview These safety notes are required by law. They promote work- place safety and accident prevention. Warnings and Safety Symbols The safety symbols below identify sections containing warnings about hazards or potential dangers. Please familiarize yourself with these symbols.
HygroMatik steam humidifiers are IP20-protected. Make sure that the unit is protected from drips in its installed location. Installing a humidifier in a room without water discharge requires safety devices to protect against water leakages. Accident Prevention Regulations Comply with the Accident Prevention Regulation Electrical Sys- tems and Equipment to prevent injury to yourself and others.
3. Transport 3.1 Overview Note: Proceed carefully when transporting the steam humidifier in order to prevent damage due to stress or careless loading and unloading. 3.2 Carton outer Size and Weight Type* Height Width Depth Weight [cm] [cm] [cm] [kg] C01KIT C02KIT - C10KIT...
4. Operation and Installation 4.1 Mode of Operation The HygroMatik steam humidifier utilizes the conductivity nor- mally present in tap water for steam production. Electrodes inside an enclosed steam cylinder are immersed directly into the tap water. They are connected to the alternating current.

The concentration of dissolved salts increases over time, which can lead to a rise in the conductivity of the water. If this contin- ues, conductivity may increase until a short circuit occurs. This could damage the unit, but in any case would significantly reduce the life span of the electrodes.
The minimum clearances indicated in the diagram below must be observed; these are necessary to ensure adequate ventilation for the housing. • HygroMatik humidifiers are not suitable for direct out- door installation. • The steam humidifier should be installed as close as possible to the steam manifold.
5.1.1 Fitting Wall Mounting Note: To function properly the steam humidifier must be installed verti- cally. » Position the steam humidifier in the planned location, adjust with spirit level and mark position of hanging bolts. » Hang the unit onto bolts screwed into the marked posi- tion and tighten.
5.2 Fan Unit (optional) Note: The fan unit should be positioned to avoid drafts. In gen- eral, a minimum height of 2 m is sufficient. Install the fan unit directly on a wall. Fan Unit Type for wall installation VG 08, 17, 30 Warning: •...
5.3 Absorption Distance B The "absorption distance" (B ) is defined as the distance from the steam feed to where the steam is completely absorbed in the treated air. Inside the absorption distance, steam is visible as mist in the air stream. Condensation may collect on anything installed inside the absorption distance.
Page 19
Length I of the usable steam manifold depends on the dimen- sions of the air duct. The length of the absorption distance can be reduced by using multiple steam manifolds (also see section on the steam manifold). Method: Graphically determine absorption distance B using the absorp- tion distance nomogram (also see Section „Absorption Distance Nomogramm“).
5.4 Steam Manifold 5.4.1 Notes on Installation These notes are based on a homogeneous Horizontal installation of Standard steam manifold installation: steam manifold Duct Steam Manifold Air flow L1=L2=L3 An even distribution of steam manifolds ensures a uniform steam distribution. Please use the total hight of the duct! Steam Manifold Air flow...

Air duct Positioning of steam manifolds Sample flat Staggered vertically and laterally Air flow very flat By tilting the steam manifold 30 - 45° very flat duct towards the air flow direction, the mini- mum upper clearance can be reduced to 70mm.
Page 23
With high-pressure air-conditioning systems, the unit's drain hose system must be modified depending on the over pressure. When this is the case please consult HygroMatik. • Install the steam manifold as close as possible to the steam humidifier in order to minimize steam loss through condensation.

Note: When installing the steam hose, please pay attention to the following: • The steam hose diameter may not be smaller than the steam outlet of the HygroMatik steam humidifier (do not restrict the cross-section, otherwise back pressure will increase). •...
5.6 Cover Plate HygroMatik flange plates may be used to neatly complete instal- lation of the steam humidifier in the air duct. Two-piece flange plates are available for the DN25 and DN40 steam manifolds. flange plate DN25 E-2604260 flange plate DN40 E-2604410...
5.8 Condensate Hose Note: When installing the condensate hose, please pay atten- tion to the following: Warning: To keep condensate from accumulating in the duct, make sure condensate can drain freely. If the steam manifold is positioned higher than 500 mm above the steam humidifier: »...

5.10 Steam Solenoid Valves When humidifying a number of loads, which are to be controlled separately, using a single steam humidifier, steam solenoid valves can be included in the steam hoses. Valve control has to provided by the customer. • Install the vertical risers with flow from bottom to top.
For water installation please use the water connecting hose that is delivered with the unit. 6.1 Operation with Softened Water Warning: Unless special measures are taken, feeding softened water into the HygroMatik steam humidifier is dangerous. It can cause • unacceptably high conductivity •...
Note: Please contact HygroMatik if you wish to operate the unit with softened water. If using a water softening system, we recommend diluting the softened water with normal tap water to produce an overall hard- ness between 4-8°dH. This value can be set lower if the water does not foam.
» Use a cap nut (internal thread ¾“) with inner seal for a customer-provided water installation. 6.3 Water discharge min.: 250mm max.: 1000mm Warning: During blow down hot water with a temperature of about 95°C is being drained. If touched this can cause burns to the skin.
There is a 3mm-wide crack between the pump drain hose jacket and the inner surface of the housing drain connection. If water collects in the base plate, it will flow through this crack into the drainage system. 6.4 Water Installation Check Go down the following water installation checklist: ...
7. Electrical Connection Danger, Hazardous Voltage: All work related to electrical instal- lation to be performed by authorized personnel only (electricians or professionals with equivalent training). The customer is responsible for checking qualifications. Danger, Hazardous Voltage: Do not plug the steam humidifier into the power grid until after all installation work has been com- pleted.

7.2 Safety Interlock Note: Install contact interlocks, i.e. max. hygrostat, vane relay, pressure controller, air interlock, in series between terminals 1 and 2. Warning: A max-hygrostat should be installed in the safety inter- lock. The max-hygrostat acts as a safety device in case the humidity sensor malfunctions.
8. Maintenance The HygroMatik steam humidifier is easy to maintain. However, inadequate or improper maintenance can lead to operational malfunctions. Perform regular maintenance to give your unit a long life span. Warning: When performing maintenance work, please note: • During operation and also for a while after switching off the unit the steam cylinder is hot.
In extreme cases, water pretreatment may be necessary (soft- ening by dilution to approx. 4 - 8 °dH; decarbonization/partial desalination to achieve target reductions in carbonate hard- ness). HygroMatik would be pleased to refer you to companies specializing in water treatment systems. Page 42...
