Changing Humidifier Lamps

NOTE
Touching quartz lamps with bare hands will severely shorten bulb life. Skin oils create hot
spots on lamp surface. Wear clean cotton gloves when handling lamps.
1. Remove humidifier pan (see 3.7.1 - Cleaning Humidifier Pan and Float Switch, Steps 1
through 10).
2. Disconnect power from unit.
3. At humidifier, remove screws and cover from high-voltage compartment.
4. Disconnect one end of purple jumper wires.
5. Using a continuity meter, locate burned out lamp.
6. Remove lamp brackets under lamps.
7. Loosen two screws securing lamp lead wires to junction block.
8. Pull bulb straight down and discard.
9. Wrap lead wires once around new lamp's metal ends. This will support lamp and allow for
thermal expansion. Insert lead wires into junction block and torque screws to 30 in-lb.
10. Reassemble by reversing Steps 1 through 9.

Autoflush Infrared Humidifier Cleaning System
NOTICE
Risk of low water flow/pressure. Can cause improper humidifier operation.
To operate properly, the Autoflush Humidifier requires a water source that can deliver at
least 1 gpm (0.063 l/s) with a minimum pressure of 20 psig (138 kPa).
The autoflush system will periodically flush the humidifier pan with water to prevent the buildup of
water minerals due to saturation. Because water conditions vary, the amount of water flushing
through the system may be programmed to match local needs.
Water amounts between 110% and 500% of the amount needed for humidification may be selected.
Operation of the flushing system is then automatic and no further adjustments need to be made.
