Any use beyond this scope is considered to be a violation of the intended purpose and may endanger your safety or possibly cause the product to be damaged. Any use other than the intended purpose of the Condair 505 is at customer’s own risk and for no means the manufacturer or supplier will be liable for possible damage.
– Except for the steps mentioned in this manual, the user must not carry out further operations with the Condair 505. – All components that are in contact with water must be thoroughly rinsed with tap water if the Condair 505 has not been in use for an extended period, before filling the unit and after each deliming cycle. – Use only original accessories and genuine spare parts from your Condair supplier. – The Condair 505 may not be modified in any way without written consent from the manufacturer. Description of product Special version The special version Condair 0 S is designed for direct connection to the water supply. The Condair 505 S is equipped with a float valve and a con nector for an overflow pipe. Note: The standard Condair 505 may be upgraded to the special version at any time – please contact your Condair representative. Functional description The Condair 505 uses the atomizer principle. The suction piece takes in the water from the reservoir. Then the whirl disk moves the water towards the atomizer ring where it is transformed into aerosol fog. The vanes of the whirl disk take in the air via the radial openings of the hous ing. This air stream passes by the atomizer ring and directs the aerosol fog out of the humidifier in an upward direction. The atomizer unit is driven by a maintenancefree electric motor.
Accessories and options The following accessories and options are available for the Condair 505: – Directional cap vertical (“Z2”) for vertical adjustment of the aerosol fog. – Directional cap horizontal (“Z”) for horizontal adjustment of the aerosol fog. – Deliming cap (“Z0”) for limefree refill. – Water reservoir with float valve and safety overflow device for per manent water supply to the humidifier. – Humidistat H- for automatic control of the Condair 505 S.

• Pour fresh water into the aerosol discharge hood or into the deliming cap (accessory “Z70”), respectively. Watch the level indicator: – water reservoir half full: grey mark on level indicator is in view. – water reservoir full: red mark on level indicator is in view. If you wish to refill the Condair 505 directly from the tap, remove the atomizer unit and the support disk from the reservoir. Pour water into the reservoir. Do not exceed the imprinted level mark (corresponding to the maximum filling height when the unit is reassembled). Then mount the support disk and the atomizer unit. Caution! Do not overfill the reservoir (watch the maximum level mark) as this may affect correct operation. Caution! Use only fresh tap water or partly/fully demineralized water.
Maintenance and cleaning Cleaning intervals Regular checks and periodic maintenance are indispensable prerequisites for hygienic operation: – Regular checks Once a week you should carry out a regular check that includes the fol lowing steps: – cleaning of the water reservoir. – checking all components being in contact with water (i.e. filter, suction piece, whirl disk, guiding disk, atomizer ring, etc.). – Periodic maintenance The maintenance interval depends on the operating conditions. We rec ommend the following intervals: – high ratio of dust and/or hard water: 1 week 1 - 2 weeks – medium ratio of dust and/or normal water: – low ratio of dust and/or demineralized water: 2 - weeks Note: please refer to chapters 6.2 and 6.3 for detailed descriptions of the dismantling, assembly and cleaning procedures required by particular com...
Cleaning Use lukewarm soapy water to clean the water reservoir, support disk, suction piece, whirl disk, guiding disk, aerosol discharge hood and the segments of the atomizer ring. Then thoroughly rinse all components with water. If the components are heavily encrusted with lime, soak them in 8 % for mic acid until the lime layer is dissolved. Finally, clean the components as described above. When cleaning make sure: – not to damage the outer edges of the whirl disk. Defective disks reduce the efficiency of the humidifier and can cause damage to the bearing (unbalance).
