Storage, Packaging, and Transportation Storage Store the Condair HumiLife RH in its original packaging inside a protected area that meets the following requirements until it is installed, or if it needs to be stored for an extended period of time: Room temperature: 41 to 104 °F (5 to 40 °C)
Description The Condair HumiLife RH is a residential steam humidifier designed by Condair. It is designed to provide steady, clean humidification for the home, and is designed to connect to a supply air duct. The humidifier may be mounted directly onto the duct, or remotely with connected steam hoses and distributor.
Over time minerals in the water will form scale on the cylinder electrodes. The humidifier will automatically fill to a higher water level to maintain full capacity during the life of the cylinder. Eventually Sequence of Operation | 8 Condair RH 2594949_B_EN_2005_Condair-RH_OM...

Controls After setting the desired relative humidity (RH) setpoint through the Condair HumiLife app, the RH sensor (supplied) determines if the space requires more humidity. The humidifier receives a humidity signal from the sensor, and if the sensed humidity is lower than the desired setpoint (desired relative humidity), the humidifier will start producing steam.
When the external humidistat generates a demand for humidity and the security loop is closed, the power relay on the control board will engage, and the water fill valve will activate (after a delay). The cylinder will fill with water. Operation | 10 Condair RH 2594949_B_EN_2005_Condair-RH_OM...
