Page 14: Characteristics Of The Supply Water
Fig. 3.h. Connect the humidifier to the mains water supply using a hose capable absorbing water hammer, to avoid damaging the fill valve. The hoses are identified by the following CAREL codes: FWH3415000 (1.5 m long), FWH3 430000 (3 m long). Alternatively, a hose with a minimum inside diameter of 6 mm can be used. -
Page 15: Steam Distribution
Fill valve and filter The compactSteam unit is fitted with a tempering valve that, opening at the same time as the pump, adds cold water to the drain line, thus ensuring a maximum temperature of the drain water of 60°C /140°F. - Page 16 During operation some of the steam may condense, causing a decline in efficiency and noise (gurgling). To drain the condensate, connect a drain hose (CAREL code 1312353APG) with a drain trap and a minimum slope of 5° to the bottom of the humidifier (see Fig. 3.L). The condensate hose should run through the hole located at the top of the fill tank inside the humidifier, as illustrated in Fig 3.k.
- Page 17 Fig. 3.l ROOM steam distribution compactSteam can distribute the steam directly into the room being humidified. For direct humidification, both the compactSteam with built-in blower (CAREL code CHF*******) and the duct model (code CH0*******) can be used, the latter connected to a remote room blower (code VRDCHA1000 for 110 Vac models, and VRDCHA2000 for 230 Vac models).

0 to 10 V signal generated by an external control device. The compactSteam unit can be connected to any simple or automatic humidistat, as well as safety devices such as limit humidistats, air flow switches and remote ON/OFF switches. To connect the external control devices, run the cables through the bottom of the unit until reaching the top of the control module, and secure them with the cable clamp (see Fig. -
Page 19: On/Off Operation
Input AB-AB closed, indicating that the fan has started (= enable steam production) compactSteam can be connected to an air flow switch (that is, a device that senses the flow of air generated by the fan in the duct). This flow sensor should be connected to the remote enabling input (terminals AB-AB) in series with a limit humidistat (normally closed). -

Page 21: Starting
• Press the START button (13), the unit starts and the display shows a sequence of characters. Once this initialisation phase has ended, the yellow power LED comes on and the compactSteam unit is ready to operate. • If there is demand for humidity, compactSteam delivers power to the electrodes in the cylinder, and the green LED comes on, indicating that operation has started. -

5. COMPACTSTEAM OPERATION 5.1 Displaying information The information shown on the display during the normal operation of compactSteam is the instant current in amperes running between the electrodes. To display other information, press and hold the “reset/sel” button until the display shows the required information. When holding the button, every 2 seconds the display will scroll between the current, the percentage (%) of steam production, the hour counter and then the current again (Fig. -
Page 23: Resetting The Hour Counter
The hour counter must be set to zero whenever the cylinder is replaced, so as to cancel and restart the maintenance timer: Turn compactSteam off. Turn compactSteam on again, while holding the two buttons, “reset/sel” and “drain”, until the display shows“00” and the spanner symbol flashes; then release the two buttons. -
