LECTRO RoHS declaration devatec sas Rue Feu St Eloi 76550 Ambrumesnil France Confirms that the ElectroVap ELMC steam humidifier is manufactured in compliance with the European regulations 2002/95/EU (RoHS). This guideline regulates after July 1 2006 the use of mercury, cadmium, lead (soldering processes), chrome VI as well as PBB and PBDE.
Any loss or damage during delivery should be reported to carrier by registered letter within 3 working days and be advised to devatec or to authorized dealer. It is recommended that the ElectroVap MC2 humidifier be kept in its transit packaging for as long as possible prior to maintenance.
Please read, heed and follow the enclosed information for the installation of the humidifier and the steam, water and electrical networks. For further technical assistance, feel free to call devatec. Failure to adhere to manufacturer’s installation recommendations will invalidate your warranty.
When in operation, the rear panel becomes hot (60°C) so do not hang the humidifier on a heat sensitive surface. The devatec humidifiers have been developped to be hanged on wall. Before installation, make sure that the surface material is strong enough to hold the humidifier.

LECTRO Installation - Step 1 Installation on wall Nota : Use installation equipment and material appropriate to the surface on which the unit should be hanged . The dimensions mentioned underneath are for cabinets without doors. Method: Mark and drill the mounting holes for 6 mm screws (s.a. the drilling distance table) : ELMC 1 &...
(please refer to the softener’s user manual). Duplex softeners are best suited to your humidifier in this regard. In doubt, please consult devatec. Demineralised water: this is a water treatment by reverse osmosis or running through resins.

LECTRO Installation - Step 3 STEAM DISTRIBUTION PIPE Steam from the cylinder enters the duct via a steam distribution pipe. In order to obtain optimum performance of the humidifier, it is recommended that these instructions be adhered to as far as possible. There are two steam inlet diameters available : Ø...
Page 15
LECTRO Installation - Step 3 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
In case the recommended distances cannot be met, please contact devatec or their authorized A agent for an alternative solution. If accurate values cannot be reached, a distance of 2 m. should be considered as a minimum distance between pipes &...

The Armstrong ExpressPack is a bespoke steam humidification system made to suit your your configuration and ready to install in a ventilation duct. It permits to have vapor trails (evaporation distance) as short as 600 mm. For further devatec reference, please contact their authorized agent.
Page 19
LECTRO Installation - Step 3 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 on a duct (particular) Your steam pipes must be screwed onto the ventilation duct by the fixing plate with a set of 4 bolts and nuts of Ø...
Page 20
Installation - Step 3 STEAM OUTPUT We would recommend to use the steam hose from Devatec supply . NB : when the humidifier is started up for the first time, a smell of burning may be smelt especially when brand new hoses are installed. This is normal and will eventually dispel.
LECTRO Installation - Step 3 Three ventilation packs permit the use of the humidifier in direct in-space Room ventilation unit applications where there is no ductworks : Blower Pack BP 1 = for capacities up to 5 kg/h Blower Pack BP 2 = for capacities up to 30 kg/h EHF II = for capacities up to 50 kg/h 0,50m mini The EHFIII ventilation packs cannot be set on the top of the humidifier (see...
LECTRO Installation - Step 3 OPTIONAL TEMPERATURE CONTROL SYSTEM This system holds the water in the cylinder at a temperature of 65°C to prevent bacteria or mold from forming in the cylinder even if there is humidity demand. The optional temperature control system overrides the automatic factory pre-set draining time where the cylinder(s) is (are) drained by the system after x hours of stop (s.a.
The following drawings show the water draining connections Pict. 1 that should be made. 1. The devatec supplied steam hose should be used : ELMC 1 cylinder : 1m Ø25mm hose with 1 hose clamp (supplied). ELMC 2 cylinders : 1m + 1.2m Ø25mm hose with 2 clamps (supplied).

LECTRO Installation - Step 5 ECOMMENDATION : 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.

LECTRO Maintenance - PCB replacement Main board ref: 500102 Transformer of intensity (TI) Power cable hole in transformer When the PCB or a power cable is replaced, it is essential for correct operation to use the method of wiring appropriate to your exact model of humidifier. For humidifiers with multiple cylinders, wire up each corresponding Torroidal Transformer with relevant method.
LECTRO Maintenance - Cleaning of steam cylinder The ELMC humidifiers are currently fitted with disposable cylinder (s).The latter can however be easily substitued for cleanable type at customer’s choice. REPLACING THE STEAM CYLINDER Drain the steam cylinder(s) fully using the manual drain key. When the cylinder(s) is/are drained fully (a «...
LECTRO Maintenance - Valves DRAIN VALVE MAINTENANCE The drain valve should be maintained whenever the steam cylinder is maintained or changed. Once the steam cylinder has been pulled out (please refer to the « cleaning of the steam cylinder » page ), disconnect the drain valve supply wires.
LECTRO Maintenance - Valves INLET VALVE MAINTENANCE The inlet valve should be maintained every 6 months as a minimum and after 50 hours operation. Isolate the water supply and remove the water supply hose from the valve. Disconnect the electrical wires from the coil. Untighten the collar clamp and remove the water feed hose.
