  • Page 5: Introduction

    Thank you for choosing a HygroMatik steam humidifier. HygroMatik steam humidifiers represent the latest in humidifica- tion technology. In order to operate your HygroMatik steam humidifier safely, pro- perly and efficiently, please read these operating instructions. Employ your steam humidifier only in sound condition and as directed.
  • Page 6: Symbols In Use

    The HygroMatik steamgenerator serves for steam production based on various water qualities or partially softened water (valid for all of the HygroMatik humidifier models). With the Hea- terLine, HeaterCompact/Kit and HeaterSlim familiy of products, also fully desalinated water/cleaned condensate may be used.
  • Page 7 You should place a copy of the Operation and Maintenance Instructions at the unit‘s operational location (or near the unit). By construction, HygroMatik steam humidifiers are not qua- lified for exterior application. Risk of scalding! Steam with a temperature of up to 212 °F is produced.
  • Page 8: Safety Instructions

    2. Safety Instructions These safety instructions are required by law. They promote workplace safety and accident prevention. 2.1 Guidelines for Safe Operation 2.1.1 General Comply with the accident prevention regulation „DGUV Regula- tion 3“ to prevent injury to yourself and others. Beyond that, national regulations apply without restrictions.

  • Page 12: Functional Description And Device Composition

    4. Functional description and device compo- sition 4.1 Mode of operation The HygroMatik steam humidifier utilizes the conductivity nor- mally present in tap water for steam production. Electrodes inside an enclosed steam cylinder are immersed directly into the tap water. They are connected to the alternating current.

  • Page 14 The concentration of dissolved salts increases over time, which can lead to a rise in the conductivity of the water. If this contin- ues, conductivity may increase until a short circuit occurs. This could damage the unit, but in any case would significantly reduce the life span of the electrodes.
  • Page 15 Risk of scalding! During operation hot steam discharges from the nozzle. Avoid direct contact with the visible steam cloud. Due to foaming within the cylinder caused by contamination hot water may trickle from the nozzle. Keep clear! Rotating parts! During operation the cross-flow fan rotates. Do not touch or block the fan during operation.

  • Page 17: Unit Installation Check

    Wall Mounting Please note The steam humidifier must be installed vertically in order to func- tion properly. Positioning should be such that draught effects are avoided. The minimum mounting height is 0.15m/ 5.9 inch above floor level. However, in order to avoid the risk of scalding a mounting height of 2m/79 inch is recommended.
