DRH Series GEN1 Ultrasonic Humidifi er Installation, Operation & Maintenance Manual 1.5 General Design The DRH Ultrasonic Humidifi er directly atomizes water, producing a fi ne mist. The humidifi er incorporates high frequency nebulizers to produce ultrasonic waves, a fan to propel the mist out, and an automatic water supply mechanism to maintain the supply water at a constant level.
DRH Series GEN1 Ultrasonic Humidifi er Installation, Operation & Maintenance Manual 1.6.12 Solid State Relay Safety control is built into the microprocessor. The voltage applied to the transducer affects the amount The 48 VDC operating voltage for the Ultrasonic of mist produced. Too high a voltage can cause Nebulizer Units is switched on and off by a solid state damage to the transducer and too low a voltage DC relay controlled by the Level Controller.
STULZ ships all equipment FOB factory. STULZ is not liable for any equipment damage while in transit. STULZ can assist in the claim fi ling process with the freight carrier. Should any such damage be present, notify the STULZ Product Support Group prior to attempting any repairs. Refer to Section 5.0 of this manual for instructions.

On/Off DRH-04 DRH-06 DRH-08 DRH-16 11.8 NOTE: The table above refl ects the correct electrical wire sizing from the control panel to the humidifi ers for three different lengths. Wire sizes listed are for stranded wire only (either THHN or NTW). Do not use solid conductor wire.
2. Open the water supply valve allowing water to fl ow to the humidifi er. 3. Perform a manual drain cycle to fl ush any particulates from the tank utilizing the system controller (see STULZ Ultra-Series controller IOM manual #OUU0078, Section 5.5.1.2). 4. Set the humidity setpoint to the desired humidity level.
DRH Series GEN1 Ultrasonic Humidifi er Installation, Operation & Maintenance Manual 3.4 Precautions Do not remove the air fi lter at the bottom of the humidifi er during operation. Do not block the outlet of the mist blow tubes. It could cause a failure if the mist fl ow is reversed. Drain the water from the water tank for sanitary reasons if the unit is turned off for more than 3 days.
When performing maintenance or repairs, care must be taken to ensure small parts such as screws will not be lost. Testing insulation resistance and dielectric withstand voltage should be avoided because the humidifi er incorporates sensitive electronic parts. When parts are replaced, genuine STULZ parts must be used. Contact STULZ Product Support for assistance. (April, 2013)
