STEAMaster + SERIES Installation, Operation & Maintenance Manual How The STEAMaster+ Works STEAMaster+ is an electrode humidifier. It produces steam for humidification by passing electrode current through the water in the steam generator cylinder between metal electrodes. There are no heater elements.
STEAMaster+ SERIES Installation, Operation & Maintenance Manual Installation Positioning The STEAMaster+ has been designed for wall mounting (although it can be placed on a stand) and, since it is an atmospheric steam humidifier, should be placed close to the point where the steam will be used, to minimize the steam hose length (and condensate).
STEAMaster + SERIES Installation, Operation & Maintenance Manual Mounting Removing the front cover The front cover is secured by a capture screw located underneath the SATS logo. Twist the SATS logo to reveal the screw, and use a phillips head screwdriver to remove it.
STEAMaster+ SERIES Installation, Operation & Maintenance Manual Plumbing Water supply The STEAMaster+ must be supplied with water (not softened) having the following characteristics: Model SMP 001-008 009-015 025-045 Instant flow rate 0.2 gpm 0.3 gpm 1 gpm 1.9 gpm Connection 1/4"...

STEAMaster + SERIES Installation, Operation & Maintenance Manual Water supply and drain connections are made according to the following diagram. NOTE: Drain line must be trapped under the unit to prevent flash steam from condensing in the unit cabinet. Physical location of the supply and drain connections are located as shown below. SMP 010-015 SMP 025-065 NOTE: SATS can provide a drain tempering system which limits the water drain to no more than 140°F.
STEAMaster+ SERIES Installation, Operation & Maintenance Manual Steam distribution Duct injection If your STEAMaster+ humidifier was supplied with duct steam distributor pipes, they must be mounted completely level in the duct with the steam outlet holes facing up as shown to the right.
STEAMaster + SERIES Installation, Operation & Maintenance Manual Steam Hoses NINETY PERCENT (90%) OF ALL OPERATION PROBLEMS ARE CREATED BY IMPROPER STEAM PIPING FROM THE HUMIDIFIER UNIT TO THE DUCT DISTRIBUTOR PIPES. To avoid these problems, remember one simple fact when running the steam hose: steam naturally flows up hill, and condensate naturally flows down hill.
