    2. Safety Notes 2.1 Overview These safety notes are required by law. They promote work- place safety and accident prevention. Warnings and Safety Symbols The safety symbols below identify sections containing warnings about hazards or potential dangers. Please familiarize yourself with these symbols.

  • Page 8: Disposal After Dismantling

    safely leads the steam. HygroMatik steam humidifiers are IP20-protected. Make sure that the unit is protected from drips in its installed location. Installing a humidifier in a room without water discharge requires safety devices to protect against water leakages. Accident Prevention Regulations Comply with the Accident Prevention Regulation Electrical Sys- tems and Equipment to prevent injury to yourself and others.

  • Page 11: Operation And Installation

    4. Operation and Installation 4.1 Mode of Operation The HygroMatik steam humidifier utilizes the conductivity nor- mally present in tap water for steam production. Electrodes inside an enclosed steam cylinder are immersed directly into the tap water. They are connected to the alternating current. The conductivity of the water generates an electric current between the electrodes.

  • Page 13 The concentration of dissolved salts increases over time, which can lead to a rise in the conductivity of the water. If this contin- ues, conductivity may increase until a short circuit occurs. This could damage the unit, but in any case would significantly reduce the life span of the electrodes.
  • Page 14 The steam cylinder consists of a top (16) and lower (19) part joined with a cylinder flange. The seal between the cylinder and cylinder base (37), as well as between the top and lower part of the cylinder, is maintained using an o-ring (35). Warning: ...

    8.4.2 Uneven Electrode Lengths In most case, the longer electrode(s) will not be supplied with electricity for a time. Therefore they will not wear. The cause of the problem, such as a tripped circuit breaker, can be repaired. However, since the shorter electrode(s) have a greater specific load, the electrodes continue to wear unevenly.
