RTH-V2 LECTRO Unit wall installation Unpack the unit and check for any dama- ge. A drilling template is supplied with the packing : make sure to pick it up before throwing away the packing ma- terial. Damage to packing and/or unit must be noticed to carrier by registered letter wi- thin 3 working days.

RTH-V2 LECTRO Unit wall installation (continued) Unlock the tank cap and lay it upside down on the top ceiling of the humidifier. Release the holding steel cord while holding the tank; Let the tank gently tip under it stops; Insert screws on 4, 5, 6 & 7 and thighten up all the 7 (RTH 5 to 50) or 11 (RTH 60 to 100) screws.

RTH-V2 LECTRO Water connection A fresh mains cold water service should be used to supply the unit. The water pressure should be between 1 & 6 bars & should not exceed 40°C in temperature. The water supply connection is under the bottom of the unit. The humidifier is delivered with a water inlet hose of 50 cm long with a 3/4"...
RTH-V2 LECTRO Steam output 1. Use preferably hose from our supply NB : when brand new hoses are installed, a smell of burning may be smelt during the first running of the steam humidifier. This is normal and will eventually dispel. 2.
Condensate draining The following drawings show the water draining connections that should be made. 1. The devatec supplied steam hose should be used : Fig.1 RTH 5 to 100 : 1.5 m Ø 40mm hose with 1 hose clamp (supplied).
RTH-V2 LECTRO Condensate draining Drain water cooling kit (option) How it works The draining water of a steam humidifier is very hot and it may be necessary to cool it down. This unsophisticated device makes it possible to cool it down to 65°C (149°F) when the fee- ding water is around 15°C (59°F).

RTH-V2 LECTRO Steam pipe positioning POSITIONING OF THE STEAM DISTRIBUTI0N PIPE Evaporation distance or vapor trail « D » A certain length is required so that the steam coming out of the steam distribution pipe be absorbed by the air. All along this length, descrided as the evaporation distance, the steam can still be seen in the airflow as a mist which can condensate in water against any obstacle if placed within.
Page 16
A high humidity limit humidistat must be installed in the duct to stop the humidifier in case the level of humidity exceeds the preset value. In case the recommended distances cannot be met, please contact devatec or their authorized agent for an alternative solution.
Page 17
Steam pipe positioning Please meet the following dimensions and spaces according to your configuration. For further information, please contact devatec or their authorized agent. H1 = 110mm = Minimum height between the duct floor and the axle of the steam pipe.

RTH-V2 LECTRO Steam pipe installation For ensuring the best steam distribution possible, we would recommend to install the steam pipes in either diameter as per the two methods described underneath. How to install in a duct Your steam pipes must be screwed onto the ventilation duct by the fixing plate with a set of 4 bolts and nuts of Ø 5 mm.

RTH-V2 LECTRO Electrical installation Recommandations: All works concerned with the electrical installation must be carried out by skilled and qualified personnel (eg electrician with appropriate training). The customer is responsible for ensuring their suitability. Please observe local regulations concerning the provision of electrical installations. Check all electrical terminal screws at commissioning, after 50 hours operation and at every service thereafter.
