1.5 Functional description
Fig. 6: Functional principle
The humidifier B500 operates based on the natural principle of
evaporation. A water pump continuously delivers water from the
water tank (Fig. 6/3) to the oval water channel (Fig. 6/2). The water
seeps through the drainage holes inside the channel and moistens
the evaporation filter (Fig. 6/4).
A fan (Fig. 6/1) inside the humidifier suctions the air in. The air
flows through the evaporator filter and is cleaned and humidified at
the same time. Then the humidified air is supplied through the air
outlet opening on the top and back into the room (Fig. 6/arrow).
The humidifier is filled manually via the filling opening at the top
face. The device can also be optionally connected to the local
water supply. In this case, the humidifier is automatically filled; no
manual filling is required (
on page 59).

device.
The humidifier and the wireless sensor system are dedicated to
each other via coding. The devices are shipped from the factory
already encoded. When two or more devices that are in close proximity to one another (0-30 meters, 0-98 feet), a different coding
may be necessary.
When several devices are operated in one room, the following
options are available:
n Several devices are operated via one sensor. For this, all
devices should have the same coding.
n Each device is controlled via a separate sensor. For this, all
devices have to be coded differently.
Fig. 15: Slide controls for coding
Evaporation Humidifier B500 Professional 27
Start-up
The slide controls for coding are located on the respective boards
of the devices. Each slider has only the following positions: ‘ON =
top’ and ‘OFF = bottom.’ Accordingly, there are 16 different coding
versions.
The coding of the humidifier and the associated wireless sensor system must match exactly. Otherwise
functionality is not ensured.

5.1 Indicators on the device
Water level indicator
The water level is detected by copper electrodes and displayed by
LEDs on the control panel.
If the water supply has been depleted, and the lower level display
is reached, the device switches off automatically. About 10 liters
(2.5 gallons) of remaining water remain in the device.
[Water level indicator] on the display lights up.
Operating the humidifier
This chapter only describes the operation of the
standard version of the humidifier. For the operation of
accessory parts, observe Ä Chapter 8 “Accessories”
on page 59.
Filter replacement display
Fan speed level indicator
The device has a filter replacement indicator indicating the need of
a filter replacement depending on the run-time of the pump, the
water hardness and the fan. In the best-case scenario, the filter
requires replacement after 98 days; in the worst case a replacement is required after 56 days. This is only a recommendation:
external influences (air pollution) can affect the recommendation
positively or negatively. Despite this indication, regular visual
inspections for signs of wear of the evaporation filter should be car-
Ä
ried out. For the filter replacement, see
the evaporation filter” on page 41.
The speed of the fan is controllable in four levels. In addition, the
device has an automatic function. The speed level of the fan is
indicated by the [Fan speed level indicator] on the control panel.
When in automatic function, the device controls the fan speed
independently, depending on the required output. This means that
any change of air humidity is measured via the wireless sensor
system, and the fan speed is increased or decreased accordingly.
