START-UP PROCEDURE
1 . Once the supply water, drain, steam hose, electrical power and control wiring connections are complete, make sure canister is fully seated
into drain valve and three wire connectors on top of canister are secure . (High water probe wire and two interchangeable electrode wires .)
2 . Attach side panel and front door .
3 . Open saddle valve allowing water to flow to humidifier . Check for leaks .
4 . Turn humidifier control knob to OFF .
5 . Close main power switch energizing humidifier .
6 . Press On/Off button on humidifier . The On/Off light will illuminate green .
7 . Make sure the HVAC blower is operating and adjust the humidifier control dial up to initiate a call for humidity .
The Steam light will illuminate green indicating a call for humidity and the Fill light will illuminate green indicating the fill valve is open
allowing the canister to fill . You should also hear the water flowing . If water flows down drain while humidifier is filling, check for
kinks in hoses and make sure O-ring is properly seated in groove in drain valve.
8 . Once the Fill light turns off, to verify that the humidifier will drain properly, press the On/Off button to turn humidifier off . You may hear the
fill valve open allowing cold water to flow into the canister to cool the water in the canister . The Drain light will flash green for 15 seconds
then turn green for four minutes while the canister drains . Once the Drain light turns off, the drain cycle is complete .
9 . Set humidifier control to proper level .
10 . Press On/Off button to turn humidifier on .
OPERATING MODES
When the humidifier is powered and turned on, the On/Off light is illuminated green .
During fill cycles, the Fill light illuminates green .
When the humidifier is turned on, any time the control sends a call for humidity, the Steam light illuminates green .
Any time the drain valve is activated, the Drain light illuminates green .
During initial start up with a new canister, the humidifier may run through a series of fill/drain cycles until the conductivity of the water is in
a range that allows the humidifier to generate steam at the rated capacity . If the conductivity of the water is low, it may take a week or more
for the humidifier to generate steam at the rated capacity . The rated capacity is achieved when the humidifier is detecting a nominal current
of either 11 .5 or 16 .0 amps between the electrodes . If the humidifier has not reached capacity after 168 hours of operation, the Steam light
will illuminate yellow on a call for humidity . The humidifier will continue to operate with a yellow Steam light, and may satisfy the humidity
requirements . Once rated capacity is reached, the Steam light will illuminate green .
The internal controller adjusts water level in the canister to maintain the nominal current between the electrodes . As minerals build up on the
electrodes, their effectiveness decreases, so the controller will increase the water level to submerge more of the electrode surface . When the
water has reached the high level probe in the canister and the internal controller no longer detects nominal current, the Service light will flash
red indicating that the canister needs to be replaced .
If the humidifier attempts to fill the canister and cannot, the drain and fill valves will pulse on and off for four seconds to dislodge minerals
which may be blocking the drain valve ports . The Drain and Fill lights will flash on and off when this occurs .
Any time power is disconnected or humidifier is turned off, the internal timer for start-up and drain cycles is reset .
If the humidifier has operated 168 hours without a drain cycle, the drain valve will open and drain the canister . Normal operation will continue .
If the humidifier is operating and a power failure occurs, once power is restored, the On/Off light will flash green for one minute, then the
humidifier will turn on .
END OF SEASON/ PERIOD OF INACTIVITY SHUT-DOWN
The humidifier does not need to be turned off at the end of the humidification season . If 72 hours elapses without receiving a call for humidity,
the canister will automatically drain . The Drain light will remain lit for 24 hours . This may also occur during periods of inactivity during the
humidification season . The humidifier will resume normal operation when a call for humidity is made .
