    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

    Attention: In the event of leaky or faulty components uncon- trolled hot steam may flow. 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.

    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.

  • 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: •...

    For water installation please use the water connecting hose that is delivered with the unit. 6.1 Operation with Softened Water Warning: Unless special measures are taken, feeding softened water into the HygroMatik steam humidifier is dangerous. It can cause • unacceptably high conductivity •...

  • Page 20: Water Supply

    Note: Please contact HygroMatik if you wish to operate the unit with softened water. If using a water softening system, we recommend diluting the softened water with normal tap water to produce an overall hard- ness between 4-8°dH. This value can be set lower if the water does not foam.

  • Page 21: Water Discharge

    » Use a cap nut (internal thread ¾“) with inner seal for a customer-provided water installation. 6.3 Water discharge min.: 250mm max.: 1000mm Warning: During blow down hot water with a temperature of about 95°C is being drained. If touched this can cause burns to the skin.

    There is a 3mm-wide crack between the pump drain hose jacket and the inner surface of the housing drain connection. If water collects in the base plate, it will flow through this crack into the drainage system. 6.4 Water Installation Check Go down the following water installation checklist: ...

Electrical Connection Danger, Hazardous Voltage: All work related to electrical instal- lation to be performed by authorized personnel only (electricians or professionals with equivalent training). The customer is responsible for checking qualifications. Danger, Hazardous Voltage: Do not plug the steam humidifier into the power grid until after all installation work has been com- pleted.

  • Page 27: Maintenance

    8. Maintenance The HygroMatik steam humidifier is easy to maintain. However, inadequate or improper maintenance can lead to operational malfunctions. Perform regular maintenance to give your unit a long life span. Warning: When performing maintenance work, please note: • During operation and also for a while after switching off the unit the steam cylinder is hot.

  • Page 28: Maintenance Work

    In extreme cases, water pretreatment may be necessary (soft- ening by dilution to approx. 4 - 8 °dH; decarbonization/partial desalination to achieve target reductions in carbonate hard- ness). HygroMatik would be pleased to refer you to companies special- izing in water treatment systems. 8.2 Access Electrical Enclosure »...

    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.
