3.4.1 Details steam distribution pipe DV61-... The steam distribution pipes DV61-... are selected on the basis of the duct width "B" (for horizontal installation) or the duct height "H" (for vertical installation) and the capacity of the steam humidifier. Important! Always select the longest possible steam distribution pipe (opti mum humidification distance). Steam distribution pipe DV61-...
Check packing slip to ensure all parts has been delivered. All material shortages are to be reported to your Condair supplier within 48 hours after receipt of the goods. Condair Group AG assumes no responsibility for any material shortages beyond this period.
Storage and Transportation Storing Until installation store the Condair RM in its original packaging in a protected area meeting the following requirements: – Room temperature: 5 ... 40 °C – Room humidity: 10 ... 75 %rh Transportation For optimum protection always transport the unit and components in their original packaging and use appropriate lifting/transporting devices.
DANGER! Danger of electric shock! The Condair RM is mains powered. Live parts may be exposed when the unit is open. Touching live parts may cause severe injury or danger to life. Prevention: The Condair RM must be connected to the mains only after all mounting and installation work has been completed, all installations have been checked for correct workmanship and the unit is closed and properly locked.

– Steam distribution pipes must not be mounted to round ducts. If you have questions relating to the dimensioning of ventilation ducts in combination with steam humidi- fiers Condair RM, contact your Condair representative. 5.4.3 Installing the steam distributors Detailed information on the installation of steam distribution pipes DV61-... can be found in the separate mounting instructions for these products.
5.4.4.1 Notes on installing the steam and condensate lines – Use original steam and condensate hose from your Condair representative or solid steam pipes from copper or stainless steel (min. DIN 1.4301) exclusively. Steam and condensate lines from other material may cause undesired operational malfunctions.
Page 28
– Steam hoses must be prevented from sagging (condensate pockets); if necessary, support steam hose with pipe clamps, trough, or wall brackets, and install a condensate drain at any low points in the steam line. – It is not permitted to install a stop valve (e.g. a manually controlled stop valve, solenoid valve, etc.) in the steam line, due to an inadmissible increase of pressure in the steam tank if the valve is closed during the operation.

5.4.5 Common steam and condensate line errors Wrong Correct Steam hose/steam hose piece not led at least 500 mm (for Lead steam hose/steam hose piece at least 500 mm (for steam steam hoses) or 1,000 mm (for solid piping) perpendicularly hose installations) or 1,000 mm (for solid pipe installation) upwards before first bend (forming of condensate).
5.4.6 Inspecting the steam installation Use the following check list to ascertain that the steam installation was performed correctly: – Steam distributor Steam distributor correctly positioned and secured (screws tightened)? Are the outlet orifices at right angles to the air flow for horizontal installation, or at 45 degree angle for vertical installation? Are unused condensate connectors on the steam distributor closed with a cap? –...

The use of additives in the water such as fragrance liquids, corrosion inhibitors, disinfectants, etc. is not allowed, since these additives may endanger health and affect proper operation. – If the Condair RM shall be operated with softened or partly softened water, please contact your Condair representative. –...
5.5.3 Inspecting the water installation Check the following topics: – Water supply Has filter valve (accessory "Z261") or shut-off valve and 5 µm water filter respectively been installed in supply line? Have admissible water pressure (1 – 10 bar) and admissible temperature (1 – 40 °C) been ob- served? Does the supply capacity match the steam humidifier and is the minimum internal diameter of 8 mm of the supply pipe maintained throughout the entire length?
DANGER! Danger of electric shock The Condair RM is mains powered. Live parts may be exposed when the unit is open. Touching live parts may cause severe injury or danger to life. Prevention: The Condair RM unit must be connected to the mains only after all mounting and instal- lation work has been completed, all installations have been checked for correct workmanship and the unit is closed and properly locked.
