PEGO S.r.l. declines any responsibility for possible errors or inaccuracies written in this manual as a result of printing or transcription errors. PEGO S.r.l. reserves the right to modify its products as it deems necessary without altering its main characteristics. Each new release of a PEGO user manual replaces all the previous ones.
OPERATING PRINCIPLE The sunk-electrode humidifiers in the EASYSTEAM range use the conductivity of potable water to produce steam by boiling. The cylinder electrodes are sunk in the water: a current is generated between the electrodes and this heats the water to boiling point. Current intensity (expressed in amperes) varies according to the quantity of in-cylinder water that is in contact with the electrode surfaces and the conductivity of the water.

The supplied steam is managed proportionally to steam production request that the electronic control computes on the basis of functioning selected between the available five described at chap. 2.4. The minimum steam Supplied steam supply is fixed at 20% and it is managed activation Maximum supply...

Check that the ON/OFF, 4-20 mA, 0-10 V default setting given on the attached CHECK LIST sheet is applied before starting the humidifier; if the default setting is different from your needs adjust the machine software settings , with the machine on, as indicated at chapter 3 and according to the connections indicated at chap.
Page 16
INSTALLING THE ES SERIES HUMIDIFIER 1. Remove the humidifier from the packaging: keep it vertical as you do so. Remove the nylon cover bag and check that the unit is in good condition. 2. Fix the humidifier to the wall, preferably 1 m above the ground and perfectly level (fig. 1); use the 4 slots at the rear to insert the fixing screws (fig.
Page 17
3. Using a screwdriver, release the safety locks at the sides of the front cover (fig. 4, 5 and 6). Fig. 4 Fig. 5 Fig. 6 4. Extract the front cover: grip the two side handles and pull outwards gently (fig. 7). Fig.

Fig. 13 Fig. 14 Fig. 15 Use only PEGO HUMIDIFIER steam hoses or others that are certified to withstand high temperatures without any internal vulcanisation or release of harmful substances occurring! THE HOSE MUST NOT BE CHOKED, HAVE ANY WATER TRAPS (SIPHONS)
Below description of specific connections for each functioning mode. In case it’s needed to connect 4-20mA probes not supplied by PEGO S.r.l. please call the technical dept. to verify hardware compatibility of the probe with humidifier. ON/OFF MODE: This kind of functioning allows steam production in only 2 modes: total lack of production or production at maximum.
Page 21
PROPORTIONAL mode with 0-10Vdc reference signal: This kind of functioning allows steam production proportionally to reference signal 0-10V. Example: a 6V reference signal will lead humidifier to produce 60% of steam referring to software variable Pr. So if Pr= 70% will be 42%. To set the second level variable S9=2 and make a bridge between terminal block 11 and 12, connect 0-10V reference signal to terminals 13 and 14, +V to terminal 13, GND to terminal 14.
Page 22
PROPORTIONAL mode with 4-20mA humidity ambient probe + limit duct probe (4-20mA): This functioning mode allows steam production in proportional mode, humidifier will regulate automatically the production of steam as per ambient request and the measured value into duct. To set the second level variable S9=3 and make a bridge between terminal block 10 and 11, connect 4-20mA humidity probe signal to terminals 8 and 9, signal RH to terminal 9, +V to terminal 8.

INSTALLING THE OEM SERIES HUMIDIFIER 1. Remove the humidifier from the packaging: keep it vertical as you do so. Remove the nylon cover bag and check that the unit is in good condition. 2. Fix the humidifier so it is level above the cell or base by inserting the fixing screws in the 4 holes of the support base (fig.
4. Connect the water inlet line to the ¾ GAS connector of the solenoid valve (fig. 21 and 22). Fig. 21 Fig. 22 Connect up the water inlet using a non-metal pipe (e.g. rubber, PVC, polypropylene, nylon etc.) 5. Connect the steam pipe to the cylinder flange sleeve and fix it in place with the supplied clip (fig. 23 and 24.

CHAP. 7 MAINTENANCE MAINTENANCE To ensure working safety, correct functioning and an optimal output of EASYSTEAM humidifiers, it is necessary to execute maintenance operations according to following instructions. GENERAL SAFETY RULES Every type of maintenance has to be done exclusively by experienced and qualified technical staff, conscious about necessary safety.
Page 39
MAINTENANCE INTERVENTION FREQUENCY To verify there are not water losses internally the humidifier. after 1 hour of working To verify electrical connections clamping. after 4 weeks of working To verify there are not water losses internally the humidifier. To verify the cylinder state, to remove incrustations and deposits if monthly or every present.
CHANGING THE CYLINDER The only part of the humidifier subject to wear is the electrode cylinder. This wears according to how much the machine is used or it is not possible to remove the internal incrustations. The EASYSTEAM range features stainless steel electrodes to maximise durability: however, durability will largely depend on the quality of the water (conductivity and hardness) and on how much the machine is used.

3. Unhook the rear retainer spring from the upper steam flange and slide it off (Fig. 30). Fig. 30 4. Raise the upper steam flange, detaching it from the cylinder (fig. 31). Fig. 31 5. Detach the electrical connector from the cylinder (fig. 32) Fig.
Page 42
7. Insert the new cylinder by repeating the above procedure in reverse order; check that the new cartridge supplied O-rings that they positioned correctly. If necessary to use on O-rings and flanges the lubricating issued with the humidifier for making their insertion easier (fig.
Page 43
CLEANING THR CYLINDER When presence of incrustations and deposits into the cylinder prevents an adequate passage of current between electrodes or thwarts the water discharge, it is necessary a cleaning operation of cylinder. NEVER CHANGE THE CYLINDER WITH THE MACHINE HOT AND WITH WATER INSIDE IT.
