The humidifier works according to the principle of evaporation. The
interior evaporator drum turns within the water container, thus
taking up humidity. A fan sucks in room air and humidified air is
returned to the room. The air flows through the cleaning filter and
the evaporator filter. The cleaned and humidified air is blown back
into the room. A UV lamp inside the unit should reduce contamination.

Switching ionisation on/off
Transport and start-up
Starting up the remote sensor system (optional accessories)
Ionisation cleans the room air. Ions occur naturally as positively or
negatively charged particles. The ion concentration and the ratio
between positively and negatively charged ions are decisive for the
air quality. Polluted air in living and work area is low in negatively
charged ions. Through ionisation, negatively charged ions are
emitted which combine with dust particles to form so-called clusters and are withheld in the filter.
To turn on ionisation, press the IONIZER button.
Ionisation is switched on. The IONIZER ON display

3.4 Starting up the remote sensor system (optional accessories)
Measuring the humidity
The remote sensor system measures the relative humidity in the
room and transmits this via radio to the humidifier. This enables a
more exact measurement than by measuring with the sensors
installed in the unit, with which deviating measurement results may
occur due to dampness within the unit.
Start up of the remote sensor system is recommended
if precise control of the humidity is required.

Possibilities of coding
Coding the remote sensor
The humidifier and the remote sensor system are coordinated with
each other via a code. The units are supplied pre-coded from the
factory. However, if two or more units are situated in close proximity to each other (0 – 30 m), a different coding may be required.
If multiple units are operated in one room, the following possibilities
are available:
n Multiple units are operated by one sensor. All units must have
the same coding.
n Each unit is controlled by a separate sensor. All units must
have different coding.
The sliders for the coding can be found on the respective circuit
boards of the humidifier and remote sensor system. Each slider
has only the “ON = above” and “OFF = below” positions. Accordingly, there are 16 different coding variations.
The coding of the humidifier and the corresponding
remote sensor system must agree exactly. Otherwise,
the function is not guaranteed.
