  • Page 7 Lay out the mains cable so that it does not become a stumbling trap. Connect mains cable only to a mains socket with protection earth. Any extension cable used must be equipped with a protection earth too. Behaviour in case of danger If it is suspected that safe operation is no longer possible, then the Defensor PH28/PH28A should immediately be disconnected from the mains (disconnect mains connector) and secured against accidental power-up. This can be the case under the following circumstances: – if the Defensor PH28/PH28A is damaged – if the Defensor PH28/PH28A is no longer operating correctly...

  • Page 10: Identification Of The Unit

    The fan (1) takes in the air from both sides via the coarse dust filter (2) or the Quattro filter, re- spectively. After passing the humidification drum, the purified air is led to the air outlet grill (5) and distributed in the room. The unit continuously measures the air humidity in the room with the integrated humidity sensor and compares it with the set reference humidity value. If the actual value (e.g. 40 %rh) is below the reference value (e.g. 45 %rh) the humidification drum (3) starts turning. The vaporizer mat is dipped into the base tub (4) and takes up water. The air passing through the humidification drum absorbs the humidity. The coarse dust filter retains dust particles up to 100 µm. If the Defensor PH28/PH28A is equipped with a Quattro filter it can retain dust particles up to 0.1 µm. In addition the activated charcoal layer in the Quattro filter removes unpleasant odour. The water level in the base tub is monitored by the level regulating valve in the water tank (Defensor PH28) or by the level controlled inlet valve (Defensor PH28A).
  • Page 11: Options

    Two silver ionisation electrodes prevent the formation of slime and microorganisms in the base tub and on the humidification drum. The ionizer electrodes are active as soon as the Defensor PH28/ PH28A is switched on. Operating modes The Defensor PH28/PH28A can be operated in the following operating modes: – Operation as air humidifier In the humidifier mode the ventilator and the humidification drum are running only, if the actual humidity value is below the set reference value. Note: if the actual humidity value remains below the reference value for a prolonged period of time, the fan must be switched to the next highest level. – Operation as air purifier (without humidification) In this operating mode the fan is running continuously. The humidification drum remains switched off. – Operation as air purifier/humidifier (Combined mode) In this operating mode the fan is running continuously. The humidification drum is only switched on if the actual humidity value is below the set reference value.

  • Page 15: Connecting The Water Supply (Ph28A Only)

    – Install the air outlet grills in a way that the moist air can leave the unit unhampered and make sure the air flow is not directed towards obstacles (pillars, furniture, etc.) or cold outer walls (risk of condensation). 4.4 Connecting the water supply (PH28A only) The water supply has to be connected to the unit by a qualified specialist according to the illustra- tion below. The installation data has to be maintained. The installation of a shut-off valve next to the PH28A is mandatory. Lay the connection hose carefully so that nobody will trip over it. WARNING! For the water installation the unit must be disconnected from the mains (pull the plug out of the socket) and secured against inadvertent reconnection. Important! The local regulations regarding the connection of units to drinking water systems must be observed. Filter valve (accessory “Z261”) Drinking water without additives: –...

    Program operation The operation of the Defensor PH28/PH28A can be controlled via customisable operating programs. These programs allow to operate the unit at a preset time with the requested operating mode and fan step. This greatly facilitates the adaption of the Defensor PH28/PH28A to your particular require- ments (e.g. adjusted to the business hours and/or working time). Every program consists of a starting point (day of the week and hour), a reference humidity value, the operating mode and the desired fan step. Up to 2 starting points with individual programs may be set up per day.

    Maintenance Maintenance intervals The Defensor PH28/PH28A can only provide full humidification and purification performance if the unit is regularly cleaned and the wearing parts are replaced. The maintenance intervals mostly depend on the load of the ambient air, the water quality and the operating time. Please consider the intervals for cleaning and replacing the individual components in the table below as approximate values. If the room air is heavily contaminated the filters must be cleaned/replaced more often. If the water is very hard the parts in contact with water must be cleaned more often. every 2 weeks Warning 6 Filter change As soon as the message appears or at least every 6 month Note: If the silver ionisation electrodes are worn, slime will accumulate in the base tub and on the rotary humidification drum. In this case replace the silver ionisation elec t rodes.
