Any other type of application, without the express written consent of Condair, is considered to be NOT conforming to its intended purpose, and may lead to dangerous operation and will void the warranty. In order to operate the equipment in the intended manner all information contained in this manual, in particular the safety instructions, must be observed closely.
  • Page 11 CAUTION! Electrostatic discharge (ESD)! The electronic components inside the control cabinet in the humidifier are sensitive to elec- trostatic discharge (ESD). Prevention: Take appropriate measures to protect the electronic components inside the unit against damage caused by electrostatic discharge (ESD). Refer to ANSI/ESD-S20.20. WARNING! Heavy object.
  • Page 12 Modifications to the Unit Prohibited Modifications are NOT permitted on the Ultrasonic Humidifier without the express written consent of Condair. Safety Labels The safety label (hygiene) is found on the right wall inside the plumbing cabinet (on the panel sep- arating the electrical cabinet).

  • Page 13: Hygiene

    There are multiple points in the humidification system where a contamination can occur. It is the responsibility of the customer and of Condair to ensure that health hazards due to contamination are reduced to acceptable levels. The use of a hygiene risk assessor is recommended.

    Repair and fault finding. Training and guidance. Note: * Condair uses a quick method for measuring bacterial activity in the water with the use of BactiQuant (BQ). Once the water sample has been taken, the bacteriological quality of the water is read within 30 minutes, and the Condair service team will disinfect the system if necessary.

  • Page 15: Product Description

    Product Description General Description The Ultrasonic Humidifier is a steam-less humidifier. To humidify the space, the Ultrasonic Humidifier creates mist using piezoelectric transducers. Mist is expelled from the unit with internal fans, and an Ultrasonic Blower Pack (if installed), into the space. Mist is then absorbed into the air. The Ultrasonic Blower Pack comes in 4 different output capacities;...

  • Page 16: Options

    Treated water enters the humidifier's reservoir from an inlet located at the bottom of the unit. The water that enters the humidifier's reservoir must be treated to remove minerals, bacteria and fungi, and should otherwise be pure to prolong the service cycle of the unit and, above all, safeguard the public. An accu- mulation of minerals will result in scale, and an accumulation of bacteria and fungi will result in unhygienic conditions in the space.

    Observe and comply with all local and national codes dealing with water and electrical installations. Condair does not accept any liability for installation of humidification equipment by unqualified personnel, or the use of equipment and parts that are not authorized by Condair.

  • Page 24: Installation Overview

    The Ultrasonic Humidifier runs optimally with treated water, such as RO water (recommended) and DI water (see Condair representative). A typical installation will have an RO-U System with buffer tank. Refer to the Reverse Osmosis System Installation, Operation, and Maintenance Manual (P/N: 2594385_A_EN_1811_RO_IOM).

    < 200 CFU/ml for industrial applications** follow applicable regulations * if the conductivity of the water entering the RO-U system is greater than 350 µS/cm, contact your Condair rep- resentative . ** CFU leaving the unit via mist should be <1000 CFU/ml for industrial applications. Keep the CFU entering the humid- ifier as low as possible, such that the CFU leaving the unit is within acceptable guidelines.

  • Page 32: Humidity Control Systems

    The power supply must have an external dedicated fused disconnect switch (supplied by oth- ers). The fusing must not exceed the maximum circuit protection indicated on the specification label. Refer to "Model Designation" on page 15. Humidity Control Systems 7.5.1 Control Device Locations The following schematic describes a potential system set-up with respect to control devices.

  • Page 33: Best Practices

    7.6.1 Remote Ultrasonic Blower Pack Installation Use Condair flexible tubes that are provided by your Condair representative. Mist connection materials from another manufacturer may adversely affect the operation of the unit. The length of the mist line should be kept as short as possible. It should not exceed the max- imum equivalent length of 2 m (6.56 ft).
  • Page 34 (full demand to mist; zero stop mist and allow to drain). Condair provides a cleaning and disinfecting kit for the Ultrasonic Humidifier (P/N: 2594996) IMPORTANT! Avoid cleaning with hard or rough materials, such as steel wool, or metal brushes. Abra- sions on the surface of any components may prevent micro-organisms from being cleaned easily.
