Portable Humidifier PUM100B
Background and Purpose
Humidity is often used to enhance and accelerate latent print development. The addition of humidity in the
processing of Ninhydrin treated documents is common place and it's also a key component in Cyanoacrylate fuming
techniques. The PUM100B provides a controlled method of introducing moisture to both of these processes. The
Humidifier can be used in conjunction with Cyano Fuming Chambers such as the FR100, FR200, FR600 and also for
humidifying documents processed with Ninhydrin by using the included hose nozzle attachment or connecting to
the 214CA Development Chamber.
Safety Precautions
NOTICE: Elevated temperature mist may be generated by this unit when the Warm Mist mode is selected. Do not
touch the outlet nozzle plate during operation. Do not touch the outlet end of the hose.
To avoid hazard of fire or shock, plug unit directly into an appropriate AC outlet.
Do not use an extension cord.
Do not operate the unit without the water tank.

- Page 3 Technical Information TI02-101ENG-R8.2 Controls / Operation Power button: Pushing this button toggles power ON and OFF. Make certain the tank contains water before powering the unit on. Night Light button: Turns the unit’s Night Light ON or OFF (toggle). Mist Control: Press once for LOW mist volume, press twice for MEDIUM mist volume or press three times for HIGH mist volume. The corresponding L, M or H LED under the button will be lit, indicating the selection. Refill Tank ‐ When all three LEDs under the Mist Control button are blinking, the water tank needs refilling. Warm Mist Control button ‐ Press to select warm mist. When warm mist is selected, the LED under the WARM button will light. Water temperature is maintained at 80 °F (27°C) for warm. Allow 15 minutes for water to warm. To turn off the Warm Mist function, press the button again. Cool Mist ‐ This is the default operation of the unit. Mist will be generated by the unit’s ultrasonic mechanism. The mist temperature will be that of the water in the tank (i.e., room temperature). Timer ‐ By default, the Timer function is “off”, meaning the unit will run until you turn it off or it runs out of water. For use with Sirchie chambers, the Timer functionality is not needed. See “Recommended Mist Settings for Sirchie Chambers”, on the following page, for recommended run times. 100 HUNTER PLACE, YOUNGSVILLE, NC 27596 USA Voice: (919) 554‐2244, (800) 356‐7311 • Fax: (919) 554‐2266, (800) 899‐8181 • Web: www.sirchie.com • Email: sirchieinfo@sirchie.com ...

- Page 6 Technical Information TI02-101ENG-R8.2 DESCALING Depending on usage, cleaning to remove scale may be required weekly or every other week to optimize unit performance. Use only distilled water in the unit (SIRCHIE PUM105 recommended). This will reduce the precipitation of minerals or ‘white dust’. Do not clean the unit or water tank with detergents or cleaning chemicals of any kind. If scale becomes difficult to remove with brush: 1. Fill the tank with: mixture of 1 tsp. white vinegar and 1 tsp. water. 2. Let solution stand for 5 minutes. 3. With the vinegar in the tank, clean all interior surfaces with a soft cloth or brush to help remove scale. 4. Also check mist nozzle and mist tube in water tank. Clean as needed. 5. Rinse the tank thoroughly with water to remove scale and vinegar solution. ULTRASONIC DISK MAINTENANCE 1. Unplug unit. 2. Remove the mist tube by rotating it counter clockwise. Empty the tank by pouring all the water on the left side (see arrow inside tank). ...
