    Installation HC-6100/6300 Mounting The HumidiClean models HC-6100/6300 are designed to be wall mounted. A wall mounting bracket and lag screws are provided for mounting on 410 mm (16”) centers. The operating weight of the unit is 106 kg (233 lbs). A clearance of 600 mm (23”) on the front and sides of the cabinet is required for servicing. 1. Position wall mounting bracket level on wall and mark hole pattern. Make sure holes line up with studs or other sturdy structure.

  • Page 8 Duct Steam Distribution 1. The dispersion tube should be proper length. Verify correct size from Table 8-1. 2. Install dispersion tube(s) horizontally in duct so holes face upward. 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. Consult factory if air flow is vertical down or air velocity is over 10 m/s (1800 FPM). Do not install in ducted systems with static pressure exceeding 150 mm (6”), wc. Airflow should be a minimum of 250 FPM for installations using dispersion tubing. Consult factory if velocity is below recommended level. 3. The dispersion tube(s) should be located upstream of a straight duct run, without obstructions, 3 m (10 feet) or more in length. Consult the factory if this distance is not available. 4. Use the template provided to cut dispersion tube installation holes. Fasten the mounting plate to duct with sheet metal screws. If the dispersion tube is 900 mm (35”) or longer, support the far end with threaded rod or similar means.

    Area Steam Distribution The EHF-3 fan package (minimum of 2 required for HC-6500/6700) is designed to be hung on a wall to operate as a remote mounted, direct area discharge option. It incorporates a blower rated at 120v- 1.28 amps. CFM rating is 463 @ 1600 RPM. The fan package requires a separate 120 volt power sup- ply (optional step down transformer available). Consult Armstrong Installation Bulletin IB-95 for more information.

Refer to Figure10-1 (the overall wiring diagram) for more inform ation. 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). Humidistat should be set for a maximum of 90% RH. Locate the high limit humidistat approximately 3m (10 feet) downstream of the dispersion manifold. If 3m (10 feet) is not available, consult the factory. Note: High limit humidistat will be wired in series with duct pressure switch, if used, see Figure 10-1.

  • Page 17: Principle Of Operation

    Principle of Operation The HumidiClean humidifier converts ordinary tap water or purified water to steam for distribution to raise the relative humidity level. The demand for humidity is sensed by a humidistat or sensor which sends a control signal to the HumidiClean. The HumidiClean is connected to the power supply (208, 220/240, 380/400, 480 or 600 Vac) through a separate circuit breaker supplied by the customer.

  • Page 18: 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. When 100% of the bed life setting has been reached, the “STATE” LED will be on in red. The unit will drain the tank and not respond to a call for demand. Note: Service Life can be adjusted based on water quality. If Ionic Beds are relatively free of scale deposits or scale is forming on tank walls and elements because beds are saturated with scale, please consult the factory for Service Life adjustment procedures.
  • Page 19 Restoring the Unit to Operation a. Turn power on at breaker. b. Unit should begin to fill. Maximum fill time is approximately 30-45 minutes before contactor(s) will be closed. c. Go into the Operation Setup menu and verify that the unit is in “Steam Gen”. d. See the Unit Configuration menu (Password ARMH) to go to the “EOL (end of life) Reset”.
  • Page 20 Figure 20-1 HC-6100/6300 Figure 20-2 HC-6500/6700...
  • Page 21 9. Operate the unit configuration menu “EOL Reset”, to reset the ionic bed life. All the accumulated ionic bed time has been reset to zero. The unit should now be heard filling. NOTE: The accumulated ionic bed time can be reset to zero at anytime. However, the unit should not be reset without first inspecting the ionic beds.

  • Page 22: Troubleshooting

    Removing the Tank 1. Operate menu to “MANUAL DRAIN” and allow unit to complete a deep drain. (Caution: Tank will still be quite warm). 2. Turn off circuit breaker. 3. Unlock and open front and side doors. Remove left side panel and top panel. 4. Disconnect 3 hoses from front of tank; rubber hose cuff at steam outlet; heating element leads at contactor, fuses, or power module; and thermocouple and aquastat wires. 5.
  • Page 23 8. If drain valve and fill valve are both energized and water is below the 1/3 full level in the electrode canister (float canister for DI units), make sure the status of Steam Generation in Operation Setup menu is “STEAM GEN.”. Perform continuity check to be sure. 9. If drain valve only is energized and water level is below the 2/3 full level in electrode canister (float canister for DI units), there may be excessive debris in electrode canister (float canister for DI units). Inspect and clean if needed. See page 21 for Cleaning Procedure for Electrodes. 10. PC board may be defective. Consult the factory. Humidifier fills with water, but does not turn “STEAM GEN”...
  • Page 24 4. If fuses are OK, check voltage to contactor coil. (a) If voltage is 24-28VAC at contactor coil, check coil resistance. It should be 8W with wires disconnected. If resistance is OK, check voltage drops across the contactor. (b) If no voltage to contactor coil, check continuity of wires from PC board to contactor. If continuity is OK, PC board is likely defective. 5. Check voltage signal to power module. The voltage across TAB8-1 and TAB8-2 (low voltage signal to power module) should be 12 Vdc. (a) If no or low voltage, the PC board is likely defective. (b) If voltage is OK, but green “SIGNAL” LED on the power module is not on, power module is defective.
  • Page 25 Humidifier runs continuously, %RH is well under set-point. 1. Verify humidistat/RH sensor is wired correctly and dip switches (S2 & S3, See Fig. 10-1, 11-1 and 11-1) 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. If humidifier is a three phase model, verify all three phases of power are present and equal. 4. Check amperage draw on all high voltage power lines with a clamp on amp meter. They should be same or very close to amperage rating on the humidifier’s nameplate if the humidistat demand is 100%.
  • Page 26 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 27 2 WATER LEVEL DROPPED BELOW LOW LEVEL DURING NORMAL RUN - - The low level switch has not closed after 5 minutes of fill valve on time. This is only after initial start-up fill and boil-down sequence. Check: debris in water switch canister, defective fill valve, no water flow or low water pressure, drain valve stuck open, defective low water level switch (electrodes need to be cleaned).

  • Page 43: Pid Control

    PID Control PID control is essential on the HumidiClean series for maintaining the desired relative humidity (RH) by adjusting the humidifiers output. Please note that the PID control is only used when a RH sensor is supplying the demand in place of a humidistat (configured in Operation Setup Menu). The PID Settings will control how the demand is adjusted according to the error between the current RH and the desired RH set point.

  • Page 44: Repair Parts

    Has an unstable demand (contactor pulling in and out), decrease your proportional band (PB) value or increase your derivative gain (DG) value. Decreasing your PB value will help reach a sta- ble demand, but it will increase the time it takes to reach the desired RH. Another solution to fixing an unstable demand is to increase the DG value. However, if you have any noise in your demand signal, increasing the DG value will only make your unit demand act worse.
