  • Page 3: Warning Labels

    The Armstrong HumidiClean™ humidifier converts ordinary tap water or purified water to steam for distribution to raise the relative humidity level. To allow HumidiClean™ to function to its full capability, be certain to install in accordance with Armstrong recommendations. DANGER: ELECTRICAL SHOCK HAZARD HIGH VOLTAGES EXIST INSIDE THE HUMIDIFIER TO PROTECT YOURSELF AND OTHERS FROM ACCIDENTAL SHOCKS: 1.
  • Page 4 Warning: Do not operate the supplied humidifier in combustible or explosive surroundings. Warning: Do not operate the supplied humidifier if there is any damage to the cabinet or any components in humidifier are damaged. Warning: The main switch should be a connection breaker which has over current and leakage current protecting functions per code EN60947-3 or EN60947-2 if point gap required by EN60947-3 can be fulfilled.

    C = Rated voltage of unit is 400V/380V Pre-Installation 1. Check Shipment. A claim should be filed with the transportation company, (and reported to Armstrong), if any items are missing or damaged. 2. Check Local Codes. The installation of HumidiClean™ should be in accordance with all applicable building, plumbing, and electrical codes.

Air flow must be vertical up or horizontal. Do not restrict duct with a height of 200 mm (8”) or less. Installations over 10 m/s (1800 FPM) air velocity are not recommended.
  • Page 10 When shielded cable is used, shield is to be grounded at the humidifier only. The wire should not be longer than 30 meters (100 ft). If the wire is out of this limit, please contact Armstrong. Refer to Figures 11-1 and 11-2 for wiring schematics.

Refer to Figure11-1 (the overall wiring diagram) for more information. A duct mounted high limit humidistat is recommended to prevent over-saturation of the duct air. Use an on-off controller that opens on fault (high humidity).

  • Page 16: Start-Up Procedure And Operation

    When power is initially supplied to the unit from the circuit breaker, the LCD will display “ARMSTRONG HC6000”. The “POWER” LED will come on and the unit’s fill valve solenoid is energized to allow water to enter the tank at a rate of 1.2 L/min (.31 GPM) (HC-6500/6700 fill rate is 3.735 L/min (1 GPM)).

  • Page 17: Maintenance

    Maintenance When 90% of the setting service time has accumulated, the “STATE” LED on the control panel will blink in yellow. (Refer to EOL settings, for bed life duration settings). If the HumidiClean™ is not serviced at this time; the unit will continue to operate for the remaining 10% of the service life setting.
  • Page 18 End of Season Drain If at any time during normal operation there is not a demand for a continuous 72 hour period, HumidiClean drains the tank and the PC Board initiates a drying cycle by cycling the heating elements for short intervals in order to dry the ionic beds.

  • Page 20 Cleaning the Water Level Electrodes 1. If there is water in the steam generating tank, operate the “SETUP”, “MODE” menu to “MANUAL DRAIN”. The drain valve should energize, and the unit should completely drain. 2. After the tank has drained, turn off the main power at the disconnect. 3.

  • Page 21: Troubleshooting

    OFF and the component disconnected from wiring. All continuity checks should be made with main power OFF. If unsure concerning any of the following procedures, PLEASE consult the Armstrong Humidification Group at (269) 273-1415. Humidifier will not fill with water when power is applied.
  • Page 22 Humidifier fills with water, but does not show steam output for 3 minutes after reaching low water level. 1. Perform steps 1 through 3 from above “Humidifier will not fill...” 2. For Tap Water: Check AC voltage across the common electrode (longest) and the low level electrode (medium length).
  • Page 23 Humidifier overfills with water on initial fill.. 1. Check electrode canister (float canister for DI units) and level electrodes for debris or scale build up. Clean as needed. See Page 20 for cleaning procedure for electrodes. On DI Units, the high water float switch may be defective or “hung up”.
  • Page 24 Humidifier runs continuously, %RH is well under set-point. 1. Verify humidistat/RH sensor is wired correctly and dip switches (S2 & S3, See Fig. 11-1 and 12-1) on the PC board are set correctly for the humidistat signal. 2. Check humidistat demand signal at low voltage terminal strip. It should be close or at 100%. 3.
  • Page 25 Dispersion tube spits water or water is present in duct Hint: It is very helpful to cut a small observation window in the duct and cover it with Plexiglas so the steam discharge from the manifold can be observed. This way the problem can be narrowed down to piping/steam quality (steps 1 and 2) or a condensation problem (steps 3 and 4).
  • Page 26 Diagnostics There are some diagnostic routines programmed into the PC board. If these routines detect a problem the unit will shut down and display the error message on LCD, the “STATE” LED will be on in red. 1. INIT: FILL TIME - - The low level switch has not closed after 45 minutes of fill valve on time. This is only on initial start-up or after a complete drain down.
