1. GENERAL DESCRIPTION AND MODELS
ENG
1.1 General description
humiFog Direct is a direct humidier for room installation. It consists
of a pumping unit (also called the cabinet) and a distribution system
(comprising blower units) to be installed directly in the room to be
humidied and cooled. The pumping unit is connected to the blower
units by high pressure hoses.
The cabinet is tted with a pump that delivers water at high pressure (70
bars) to the nozzles on the blower units, where it is atomised into very
ne droplets that evaporate spontaneously.
The cabinets are available in the single zone and two-zone version. The
latter can manage two independent zones, reading two separate signals
(from a probe or external controller).
For all models, the minimum ow rate that can be supplied by the pump
is 10% of its nominal ow rate. For this reason, it is recommended to
couple a distribution line that can atomise a ow-rate of water equal at
least to the minimum ow-rate delivered by the pump.
It is important to install the distribution system in a suitable environment
(in terms of volume, air change and operating temperature) so as to
ensure absorption of the atomised water. Carel can provide support for
calculating the required humidication load.
1.2.1 Functional diagram
77
1.2 Operating principle
System operation is based on a request signal from a probe (temperature
or humidity) or external controller. When operation is enabled (remote
on/o ) and at the same time there is a humidication or cooling request
signal, the system opens the ll solenoid valve and activates the pump,
which pumps the water at high pressure (70 bars). After having also
opened the outlet solenoid valve, the initial stage of operation begins,
involving washing and lling the line, after which, when the line is lled
and pressurised, the nozzles will start spraying water.
Modulation is available in PWM mode (pulse width modulation): the
controller alternates a time (set on the display) in which the outlet
solenoid valves are operation, thus atomising the water, with period in
which the outlet valves are closed and the bypass valve is open, thus
interrupting atomisation into the room.
The set point is managed directly by the electronic controller using a
proportional band (P+I) or an oset when reaching the set point.
On reaching the set point, the system stops and enters standby mode,
restarting when there is a new request. For this reason, the system should
be powered on at all times.

2. CABINET INSTALLATION
ENG
2.1 Positioning
The cabinet, being IP20, must be installed in a closed compartment,
sheltered from the rain, water spray and direct sunlight.
The cabinet must be installed in an environment with a temperature
between 5 and 40°C.
Around 1 m clearance must be left in front of the cabinet to allow the
door to be opened and maintenance to be performed. Around 0.5 m
clearance needs to be left on both sides of the cabinet to allow space for
the water connections on the right and electrical connections on the left.
Fig. 2.a
2.1.2 Floor-standing installation
For oor-standing installation, the unit needs to rest on a raised platform
so as to allow connection of the drain hose, located on the bottom of the
cabinet (see chapter 2.2.3).
min 30 cm
Fig. 2.c
2.2 Cabinet water connections
2.1.1 Wall mounting
The cabinets can be wall-mounted or oor-standing.
In the event of wall mounting, it is recommended to use the metal frames
and screws supplied. See the distances shown in the following image for
drilling the holes and fastening the brackets.
2.2.1 Feedwater line
An expansion vessel should always be installed upstream of the cabinet,
so as attenuate variations in pressure in the feedwater line. It is also
suggested to install a mechanical lter on the feedwater line to the
cabinet (P/N ECKVESS050 for the lter vessel and P/N ECKFILT050 for the
lter cartridge). Finally, an on-o ball valve should be installed on the line
upstream of the cabinet, so as to allow for any maintenance operations
on the water circuit downstream.
Fig. 2.d
A hose with a minimum diameter Ø=1/2” should be connected upstream
of the cabinet so as to ensure the right ow-rate and pressure to the
humidier. The humidier inlet connection is 3/4” GAS F. The required
humidier inlet pressure is at least 3 bars.
Fig. 2.b

2.2.2 Feedwater characteristics
humiFog Direct requires demineralised water, so as to ensure:
• minimum maintenance;
• no blockages of the nozzles;
• no dust (the droplets that evaporate will not leave mineral salts in the
environment);
• improved hygiene.
The use of demineralised water is also required to comply with standards
UNI8883, VDI6022 and VDI3803.
humiFog Direct must only operate on demineralised water that falls
within the limits listed in the following table. Normally, these values can
be obtained by reverse osmosis or nanoltration of the feedwater.
The drain point located at the bottom of the cabinet must be connected
externally (3/4" GAS F tting) to an open discharge with drain trap.

2.3 Cabinet electrical installation
The cabinet must be connected to the mains by the user.
230 V 50 Hz for cabinet CE version UA***DD*01
120 V 60 Hz for cabinet UL version UA***DD*01
The connection must be compliant with local standards, using a suitablysized cable. A three-wire cable (line + neutral + earth/ground) must be
connected to the three terminals (L + N + GR).
Fig. 2.f
Cabinet terminalPower cable
LL / F (line)
NN / W (neutral)
GRGR / PE (earth)
Important: t an external power switch on the humidier power supply
line to isolate the power supply, and a TT earthing system with earth fault
current of 30 mA.
No additional wiring is required to the cabinet terminal block, except
for the power supply to the blower fans, using the terminals. For the
electrical connections from the cabinet to the blowers, see chapter 3.4.

Fig. 2.e
Also remember that the cabinet cannot be installed on the oor without
a support that keeps the cabinet raised by at least 20-30 cm.
2.2.4 Blower water supply line
With reference to the high-pressure hoses provided by CAREL (inside
diameter Ø = 6.3 mm), in order to ensure correct operation of the
atomisation system, the water supply line to the blowers in a single zone
must respect the following maximum lengths:

3. DISTRIBUTION SYSTEM INSTALLATION
3.1 Blower unit installation
The humiFog Direct system works by connecting the cabinet to a
number of blower units installed directly in the room to be humidied
and/or cooled.
The following simple rules must be kept in mind when installing the
blower units:
• the minimum ow-rate that can be atomised in the room is 8 l/h
(irrespective of the size of the pump). The minimum number of blower
units must therefore be dened based on the number and size of the
chosen nozzles.
The maximum numbers of blower units that can be connected to a
cabinet are:
• 12 blower units with 2 nozzles
• 6 blower units with 4 nozzles
• 3 blower units with 8 nozzles
The blower units must be suitably positioned so as to allow complete
absorption of the sprayed water. Consequently it is recommended to
install the blowers a due distance apart, at a sucient height from the
oor and with free space at the front without obstacles.

units are delivered fully assembled.
2. Remove the side plastic covers cover from the blower. Unscrew the
long screws on the side using a screwdriver. Make sure to keep the
screws, as they will be needed again for assembly at the end.
3. Mount the blower unit on the metal support. See paragraph 3.2 for
details.
4. Connect the water line to the inlet on the blower units (M16x1.5). See
paragraph 3.3 for details.
5. Electrically connect the blower units to the cabinet, which supplies
power and controls operation of the fans. See paragraph 3.4 for
details.
6. Complete blower assembly by repositioning the side plastic covers
removed previously, and xing them with the same screws as
removed at the beginning.
3.2 Mounting single blower units on the
wall / ceiling
The single blower units (P/N DLA%F) are designed to be installed on a
vertical wall using a special metal support to be xed to the wall using
screws. Check that the wall is made from suitable material and is able to
support the weight of the blower unit (concrete, not plasterboard).
Then attach the blower to the protrusions on the wall-mounting support
bracket.
Fix the blower unit to the bracket using the screws supplied in a bag
inside the packaging.
Fig. 3.e
When tightening the rst screw (M6 self-tapping in Ø=5.5 mm holes),
slightly loosen the screws on the ring clamps that support the nozzle
manifold, so as to be able to turn it and free up space to continue
mounting the unit. Tighten one screw on the right and one screw on
the left.
Then tighten the third screw (M4 self-tapping in Ø=3.5 mm hole) on
the right-hand side of the blower (opposite the terminal block). When
tightening this screw, the angle of the blower can be adjusted between
-10°/-5°/0°/+5°/+10° from horizontal, using one of the ve small holes
provided.
Then make the water connections, connecting the feedwater line
either on the right or left of the blower, and the water return line on the
opposite side.
Fig. 3.b
First remove the blower unit from the packaging and take o the side
plastic covers. Remove the blower unit from the steel bracket on the rear.
Rest the bracket against the wall in the position where the blower will be
installed, and then drill four holes in the wall, using the steel bracket as
the drilling template.
Fig. 3.c
Fig. 3.d
After having drilled the holes in the wall, x the metal support using
anchor screws (not supplied).
Fig. 3.f
Finally, t the two cable glands and complete the electrical wiring, as
described in paragraph 3.4.
Carel also provides an additional kit (including a special plate bent at 90°)
for mounting single blower units on the ceiling.

3.3 Mounting double blower units on the
ceiling
The double blower units (P/N DLA%B) are designed to be installed on
the ceiling by anchoring them to a metal support that can support their
weight and the vibrations due to the pressurised water. To mount the
blower unit, use the special attachments provided on the unit’s metal
structure.
Carel provides additional kits with everything needed to complete
installation easily. Make sure to carefully choose the point where the
vertical support bar will be anchored. The support bar must not be longer
than 1 metre, so as to avoid excessive bending and vibrations.
Fig. 3.h
After installing the blower, make the water connections by connecting
the feedwater and return lines to the two pipes provided on the top of
the blower. The feedwater/return lines can be connected either to the
right or left.
ENG
Fig. 3.i
Finally, t the two cable glands and complete the electrical wiring, as
described in paragraph 3.4.
3.4 Blower unit electrical connection
The blower units must be electrically connected to the cabinet so that
they are activated only when there is a humidication request
Before electrically connecting the blower units to the cabinet, make sure
that the cable glands supplied with the cabinet and the blower units are
available. All connections to be made by the user (cabinet power supply,
blower unit power supply, probe connections, etc.) must be performed
by running the cables through the cable glands, and in accordance with
local safety standards.
Also check that the cable is the right size for the distance and voltages
used. Carel recommends an AWG14 or AWG12 cable, as shown in the
technical data at the end of the manual.
To connect power to the blower units, connect three suitably-sized wires
(line + neutral + earth) from the terminals on the cabinet (shown in the
gure) to the terminals on the blower (shown in the gure). To power
a second and subsequent blowers, start from the free terminals on of
the previous blower and connect to the terminals on the next blower, as
shown in the gure.
Fig. 3.j
Important:
• remember to run the wires through the cable glands (marked in the gure).
• check the maximum number of blower units that can be connected to each cabinet in the tables in Appendix 12 at the end of the manual.
• when connecting the line (L) and neutral (N) from the cabinet to the blower units, never reverse L and N. Reversing or crossing over the wiring may cause
short-circuits.
After having completed the wiring, close the side plastic covers again and x them using the screws. The system is now ready to operate.

4. ELECTRONIC CONTROLLER SET UP AND CONNECTIONS
After having correctly installed the cabinet and completed the water and
electrical connections, connect the signals used to interface with the
humiFog Direct humidier to the c.pHC electronic controller (and the
c.pCO controller on two-zone cabinets.
Fig. 4.a
4.1 Remote ON/OFF signal connection
The remote ON/OFF contact is used to enable operation from an external
device. It is a digital contact that can be either open or closed: when the
terminal is open, humiFog cannot operate. The contact refers to inputs 7
[GND]- 8 [digit] on terminal M2 on the c.pHC.
The remote ON/OFF contact must not be confused with the ON/OFF
signal that manages operation, described in paragraph 4.5.
The following types of probes are allowed:
• 4-20 mA, 0-20 mA current probes
• 0-10 V, 0-1 V, 2-10 V voltage probes
The analogue signal from the limit probe in the rst zone is connected to
the c.pHC controller via inputs 5 [IN a] 6 [GND] 3 [+12 Vdc] on terminal M2.
MAIN PROBE
ZONE 1
[IN a] [GND] [+15 Vdc] [IN a] [GND] [+15 Vdc]
Important: if connecting a probe with voltage signal that requires a
power supply greater than the +12 Vdc supplied to the terminal on the
c.pHC, the third wire must not be connected to input 3 [+12 Vdc] but
rather to terminal GA1 [+24 Vac], made available on the cabinet terminal
block, right above the c.pHC.

If not intending to use an external contact to start / stop the unit, leave
the terminal short-circuited (as supplied).
REMOTE ONOFF
4.2 Analogue signal from the main probe
and limit probe in the first zone
humiFog Direct can be controlled using an analogue signal (modulating)
from a main humidity or temperature probe connected to the c.pHC
electronic controller. If connected to a humidity probe, humiFog Direct
will display the relative humidity read by the probe. If connected to a
temperature probe, on the other hand, humiFog Direct will display the
temperature. Based on the probe reading and the deviation from the set
point, humiFog Direct will modulate the humidication load according
to the PWM principle (see paragraph 6.2). The following types of probes
are allowed:
• 4-20 mA, 0-20 mA current probes
• 0-10 V, 0-1 V, 2-10 V voltage probes
The analogue signal from the main probe in the rst zone is connected to
the c.pHC controller via inputs 1 [IN a] 2 [GND] 3 [+12 Vdc] on terminal M2.
4.3 Analogue signal from the main probe
and limit probe in the second zone
If a second zone is used (only with UA%DD201 and UA%DU201 cabinets),
the main probe corresponding to the second zone must be connected to
the c.pCOe expansion installed under the c.pHC controller.
The following types of probes are allowed:
• 4-20 mA, 0-20 mA current probes
• 0-10 V, 0-1 V, 2-10 V voltage probes
The inputs used for the main probe are U1 [IN a] and [GND] on terminal
J2, and the power supply is taken from the +Vdc on terminal J9. The limit
probe (optional) corresponding to the second zone is connected to
inputs U2 [IN a] and [GND] on terminal J2, and the power supply is taken
from the +Vdc on terminal J9.
MAIN PROBE
ZONE 1
[IN a] [GND] [+15 Vdc] [IN a] [GND] [+15 Vdc]
LIMIT PROBE
ZONE 1
The limit probe (optional) is used for the auxiliary function to reduce
humiFog Direct humidication or cooling capacity when approaching
a set humidity or temperature threshold (on the display or external
controller). To set the threshold, select operation with limit probe on the
display. The threshold will either be a humidity or temperature value. The
limit probe can also be used without using a main probe.
"humiFog direct" +0300073EN rel. 1.2 - 02.05.2019
Fig. 4.d
Important: unlike the rst zone, the connection to the c.pCOe expansion
relating to the second zone can supply power to probes that require up
to 21 Vdc.
16
ENG
4.4 Analogue signal from an ext. controller
As an alternative to the main probe, a signal from an external controller
can be used. The latter processes the request to send to humiFog Direct
via an analogue signal, which varies from 0 to 100%. humiFog will adjust
the capacity delivered proportionally to the signal received, and the
display will show the request sent as a percentage.
The following types of proportional signals are allowed:
• 4-20 mA, 0-20 mA current signals
• 0-10 V, 0-1 V, 2-10 V voltage signals
The external signal for the rst zone is connected to the c.pHC controller
via inputs 1 [IN a] and 2 [GND] on terminal M2.
The external signal for the second zone is connected to the c.pCOe
controller via inputs U1 [IN a] and [GND] on the terminal J2.
EXTERNAL SIGNAL ZONE 1
[IN a] [GND][IN a] [GND]
The limit probes can also be associated with the external proportional
signal, and will be connected as shown in the previous paragraphs.
Fig. 4.e Fig. 4.f
EXTERNAL
SIGNAL ZONE 2
4.5 Digital signal from humidistat or
external controller
The signal from the external controller can be replaced by the signal from
a humidistat, thermostat, or any external device with digital contact. In
this case, humiFog Direct will work in ON/OFF mode, either delivering
100% of ow-rate or remaining in standby. The capacity delivered can be
reduced by setting parameter P0 (the reduction is managed by PWM, see
paragraph 6.5). The electrical connection is the same as in the previous
case shown in Figure 4.e. Make sure to congure the humiFog Direct (via
the screens on the display) so that it can be controlled by an ON/OFF
signal from external controller or device.
4.6 Serial or Ethernet communication
humiFog Direct can be controlled by a supervisor that reads the humiFog
Direct parameters and sends commands. To connect a supervisor, the
RS485 serial port (terminal M12, inputs 1 [Tx/Rx-] 2 [Tx/Rx+] 3 [GND]) or
Ethernet port is used. The choice of which port to use depends on the
supervisor. Modbus and BACnet communication protocols are available
as standard: no auxiliary cards need to be tted on the c.pHC controller
The Ethernet port can also be used for the Webserver function (see
Chapter 8), so as to monitor and control humiFog Direct via a local
network, without needing a supervisor.
4.7 Alarm relay output
The digital output for communication of an alarm status is connected to
contacts 1-2-3 on terminal M6 on the c.pHC. N.C. logic is set by connecting
the two wires to contacts 1-2, while N.O. logic is set connecting the two
wires to contacts 1-3.
N.C.
ALARM RELAY
Fig. 4.h
N.O.
4.8 Unit status digital output
The c.pHC controller provides a digital output corresponding to unit status.
This is a voltage-free contact that provides the following information:
• contact closed: unit on or in standby
• contact open: unit o (OFF from keypad or from remote contact, or
no power)
The unit status digital output is available at contacts 1-2 on terminal M5
on the c.pHC.
4.9 Production percentage analogue
outputs
The c.pHC controller provides an analogue output (0-10 V) corresponding
to the percentage of production that humiFog Direct is delivering.
The output replicates the request signal relating to the corresponding
humiFog Direct zone.
The production percentage analogue outputs are connected to the
following terminals:
• zone 1: outputs 1 and 2 on terminal M8 on the c.pHC.
• zone 2: outputs U3 and GND on terminal J2 on the c.pCOe.

6.2.1 Modulation of production
The system modulates the atomisation of water intermittently, in PWM
mode (pulse width modulation). Within a time period of 120 seconds
(settable value), the unit will deliver pressurised water to the blower
units for atomisation by the nozzles in the room:
• for 120 seconds continuously, when there is maximum production
request;
• for a fraction of time Ton less than 120 seconds (minimum 8% of the
entire period) and proportional to the request signal, if not at the
maximum.
When atomisation stops, the pump remains active and the water is
recirculated through an internal bypass circuit in the pumping unit,
rather than being delivered to the blower units.

6.2.2 Proportional control to an external signal
(modulating operation)
Atomisation is proportional to the value of an external signal Y, (selectable
from the following options: 0 to 1 Vdc; 0 to 10 Vdc; 2 to 10 Vdc; 0 to 20
mA; 4 to 20 mA). The maximum production Pmax corresponds to the

production. The activation hysteresis hy is not settable by the user.
6.2.3 Autonomous control with humidity or
temperature probes
When using a main humidity control probe and an optional limit
humidity probe, atomisation is related to the % rH reading made by the
relative humidity probe and increases as the value read deviates from the
set point St. Maximum production Pmax corresponds to the case where
the humidity value, read by the probe, is BP away (proportional band)
from the set point. The activation hysteresis hy is not settable by the user.

For “humidity (one probe)” or “temperature (one probe)” control, one
single main probe can be connected and congured, either wired or
wireless.
For “humidity with limit” or “temperature with limit” control, a wired
probe can be connected as the main probe and a wired probe as the
limit. If using wireless probes (maximum of four), two groups of probes
can be dened: the group of main probes and the group of limit probes.
In this case, the average will be calculated between the main probes,
depending on the dened weight, and the limit probes will also have
their own average, again depending on the dened weight.
For “humidity (two probes)“ or “temperature (two probes)” control, only a
group of main probes can be dened. Wired probes can be connected to
the main probe input (M2.1) and the limit probe input (M2.5), which will
be used as a second probe, with the average calculated. If using wireless
probes (maximum of four), only a group of main probes can be dened,
with the average calculated, depending on the dened weight.
For the connections of the signals and/or probes, see chap. 4.
6.2.4 Weighted average of the probes (installer
menu)
If using two temperature probes or two humidity probes, the humidier
controller will calculate the weighted average of the probe readings.
In this way, two probes can be used, for example humidity probes, at
opposite ends of the room, calculating the average.

6.3 Functions
6.3.1 Filling
For correct functioning of the system there must be no air in the lines,
so as to avoid vibrations, long transients and low-quality atomisation. To
eliminate all air, the lling time must be set correctly. When starting the
system the rst time, measure the time required for the water to reach
the end of the circuit, and wait only until water visibly comes out of the
circuit. The longer the water circuit, the higher the lling time needs to
be.

7. MASTER/SLAVE NETWORK OF HUMIDIFIERS
7.1 Description of the Master/Slave system
To extend humidication capacity in an individual zone, several
humidiers can be connected together in a Master/Slave system. For
example, if humidication request is 160 kg/h, a Master/Slave system can
be created with two 80 kg/h humiFog direct single-zone unit.
A maximum of 3 Slave units can be connected to a Master, meaning a
total of 4 humidiers in the same system.
The Master and Slave units are connected using a local Ethernet network,
and in the case of just two units (one Master and Slave) involves a direct
connection between the two unit controllers via Ethernet RJ45 Category
5 cable.
Fig. 7.a
If the Master/Slave system comprises three or more units (maximum 4), a
network switch is required.
7.2 Network switch for Master/Slave
connection
The Master/Slave connection of more than two units requires the use of
an industrial grade switch.
Carel markets a switch (P/N: KITSE08000) that can connect a maximum
of eight units (8 Ethernet ports). If necessary, use several KITSE08000
switches with a cascaded arrangement.
Main technical specications of the KITSE08000 switch:

ProtectionIP30
Tab. 7.a
7.3 Type of Master/Slave system
installation
The Master/Slave system features one main unit (Master), which manages
operation of the secondary units (Slaves). The external signal or probe
connections, depending on the set control type, are made to just one of
the humidiers in the system. The unit that the signal is connected to will
automatically be identied as the Master. Consequently, the Master does
not need to be especially congured..
The Ethernet port is available on the humidier’s c.pHC controller:
Note: use Ethernet CAT-5 STP cable, maximum length 100 m. To
connect the shield, use the earth connector provided on the controller.
"humiFog direct" +0300073EN rel. 1.2 - 02.05.2019
Fig. 7.b
Fig. 7.c
While the Master unit is powered on, the system will be able to operate
even in the event of malfunctions on the Master (alarms, stopped
production,…), as the unit’s controller will send all the required data to
the Slaves. Obviously, unless redundancy has been factored into the total
humidication capacity, this case will be lower than requirements.
If the Master is switched o completely, the Master/Slave system will not
be able to read the control/probe signals. Consequently, it is suggested
to connect all the humidiers in the system (or at least two units) to the
external signal or t them with independent probes.

7.4.1 Maximum Master/Slave system production
In the same way as for the individual unit conguration, for the Master/
Slave system the maximum capacity can also be set. To set the maximum
capacity, go to menu Dd03. The “Capacity” parameter identies the
maximum production request for the Master/Slave system, and can
therefore be set by the user.
The “Maximum capacity” parameter (read-only), on the other hand,
indicates the sum of the sizes of each unit added to the system; this
value is therefore the maximum eectively available to the Master/Slave
system. Consequently, “Capacity” will always be ≤ “Maximum capacity”.
In any case, the maximum production can be dened for each individual
unit in the system by limiting production from its maximum according
to the size. In this case, “Maximum capacity” will be updated keeping in
consideration these reductions..
7.4.2 Unit production distribution logic in the
Master/Slave system
The activation logic of the units in the Master/Slave system can be set,
choosing between “Grouped” or “Balanced”, on screen Dd03.
Grouped distribution
Fig. 7.d
Systems set up in this way will be able to cover the humidication
requirement. In this specic case, the Master will always be the unit
with the lowest IP address of those connected to the signal/probes. If
necessary, an additional humidier (backup) can be installed to cover
request in the event of malfunctions on one of the units in the system.
7.4 Master/Slave system configuration
To congure the Master/Slave system, proceed as follows:
1. Connect the probes or the external signal to the unit and complete the
conguration (control type, type of signal, maximum production …);
2. Set the IP addresses of the individual units so that they belong to
the same subnetwork (subnet mask); the screen index for this
conguration is Dh05 (D. Settings – g. Supervision). The IP address is
set on the display on each unit, assigning a dierent address to each
unit in the same subnetwork. If necessary, contact the local network
administrator. Remember that the default address for each unit is
192.168.0.1, and the default subnet mask is 255.255.255.0. For further
details see paragraph 8.1.1 “IP address and network conguration”
3. Connect the units making up the Master/Slave system to the local
Ethernet network via a switch. If using just two units, an RJ45 category 5
cable can be used, connected directly to the Ethernet ports on the two
c.pHC controllers.
4. Congure the Master/Slave system by enabling the units one at a time
(this operation can be performed on the display on any of the units):
4.1 Display screen index Dd01 and then access conguration mode
by pressing “PRG”.
4.2 Enter the IP address for “Unit 1” and conrm by pressing “ENTER”.
4.3 Repeat the operations described above (4.1 and 4.2) for all the
other units in the Master/Slave system.
(The units will join the Master/Slave system (online) immediately
after being added to the network.)
Note: the Master unit will always (automatically) be the one with
the lowest IP address out of the units connected to the probes or external
signal.
Note: it may take a few seconds (max 10 s) for the Master to start
sending the production request to the Slave/Slaves. This is also true
when, automatically, the Master unit is changed (for example, in the
event of malfunctions).
• the units are activated in series, one after the other, according to the
request.
Example: M/S system comprising two 80 kg/h units, for a maximum total
capacity of 160 kg/h. While the request remains below 50% (80 kg/h)
only one unit will be activated (for example, Unit 1), as soon as the
request exceeds the 50%, the second unit will also be activated (in the
example, Unit 2).
Balanced distribution:
• the units are activated in parallel at the same time, splitting the total
production request between the number of units in the M/S system.
Example: M/S system comprising two 80 kg/h units, for a maximum
total capacity of 160 kg/h. If the request is 50%, both Unit 1 and Unit 2
will be activated at 50% of production (40 kg/h + 40 kg/h = 80 kg/h). If
the request is 90% (144 kg/h), both Unit 1 and Unit 2 will be activated
at 90% (72 kg/h + 72 kg/h = 144 kg/h).
For Grouped Distribution only, if the request does not require the use
of all the units, the automatic rotation function can ensure that the
individual units total the same number of operating hours. To enable
and congure the operating hours for unit rotation, set the “auto-rotation
time” parameter on screen Dd04.
Note: if the “auto-rotation time” parameter is = 0, the auto-rotation

7.4.3 Disconnect unit from the Master/Slave system
To remove a unit from the Master/Slave system, thus reducing the number
of units available in the system, use the “Disconnect unit” function on
screen Dd06. This can be done on any of the humidiers in the system.
Note: once the unit has been disconnected, this will no longer be
visible in the Master/Slave system, as its IP address will be removed from
the list. If a unit is disconnected erroneously, the system can be restored
on screen Dd01 (entering its IP). This must be done from the display on a
unit that is already connected to the system.

7.4.5 Software backup function in the Master/Slave
system
Master/Slave mode can also be used to manage the software backup
function; if one or more units in the Master/Slave system is aected by
a malfunction, the system automatically restores humidity production
by activating the backup units. The lost production in relation to the
humidication request is thus compensated by increasing production on
the individual units (where possible) and/or starting any units in standby.
Even if not strictly necessary, to ensure the backup function, the external
control signal must be sent to all the units in the Master/Slave system; if
using probes on the other hand, each unit must be tted with a probe.
Only in this way can complete operation be guaranteed in the event of
malfunctions.
Note: if a unit goes oine due to a malfunction or shutdown, it will
temporarily be excluded from the system, and when next restarted it may
take 15 seconds or more to automatically come online status again.

8. CONNECTIVITY
ENG
8.1 Webserver
The web server is a very interesting function when the user has a local
network available that humiFog Direct can be connected to. The physical
local network connection uses the Ethernet port with RJ45 connector
on the humidier controller (see Figure 4.G) and a normal Ethernet cable
(category 5).
The integrated web server on the humiFog Direct c.pHC controller is used
to congure and monitor the main unit parameters directly from a PC,
tablet or smartphone.
By opening an internet browser, the humidier can be accessed from the
local network via the humiFog Direct unit’s IP address.
8.1.1 IP address and network configuration
An IP address is a numerical code that identies the modem, computer,
smartphone or any other device connected to a network, so as that these
can communicate with one another. Typically the IP address of multiple
devices connected to the same network is identical, except for a few
numbers.
EXAMPLE:
• 192.168.1.1 device #1 connected to the network
• 192.168.1.2 device #2 connected to the same network
• 192.168.2.25 device #3 connected to the same network
Remember that when wanting to connect several devices to the
same network, a switch is required (this can be supplied by Carel, P/N
KITSE08000).
The IP address of the humiFog Direct unit is shown on the display, under:
• D. Settings
• d. Unit networks
• g. Supervisor
Dg05. Ethernet supervision port conguration: DHCP and IP address
With a static IP address (with DHCP OFF as by default), on screen Dg05
enter the network parameters manually, as provided by the local network
installer. Usually subnet mask and gateway have predened values (which
must be known), while the IP address can be assigned sequentially in
relation to another device connected to the same network.
The default network congurations for the c.pHC are:
• unit IP address: 192.168.0.1
• subnet mask: 255.255.255.0
• gateway: 192.168.0.1
Important: in the “capacity extension” function (described in paragraph
6.2.2), DHCP cannot be activated, otherwise the units would not be able
to communicate together. DHCP must be disabled on screen Dg05 (as
by default).
Important: the controller is not accessible directly via the internet as a
rewall guarantees remote access only over a secure connection (Carel
tERA cloud connection). Consequently, outside of the local network the
controller cannot be accessed, even if the network administrator assigns
a public address.
8.1.2 Webserver functions
Once having accessed the webserver, to log in and access the various
menu items, use the credentials listed in Table 8.a, according to the type
of user.
IDPW
Service77
User44
Tab. 8.a
Fig. 8.a
To access the web server, to open an internet browser and enter the
IP address, followed by /commissioning/index.html (in this case type
10.10.7.198/commissioning/index.html in the browser’s address bar).
IP addresses may be :
• dynamic (if using the DHCP function that automatically assigns an IP
address when a device is connected)
• static (if there is no DHCP function or it cannot be used, with manual
assignment of the IP address directly by the user).
If using a dynamic IP address via the DHCP function on the server,
DHCP needs to be enabled on screen Dg05 on the humiFog Direct
unit. The IP address shown on the screen will be assigned automatically.
The advantage of this feature is that the server and humiFog Direct
communicate directly, and there is no need to congure the network
parameters (subnet mask and gateway). The disadvantage is that if
adding other devices to the same network with humiFog Direct o and
not connected, the IP address originally assigned to the unit may change,
and therefore the new address needs to be set on screen Dg04 and
copied into the browser’s address bar.
Fig. 8.b
Web interface
Once having logged in, the webserver "HOME" page is displayed, also
called the web interface. This page displays the main information on the
unit, including:
• unit status
• zone request and production
• set point: the value can be set for each zone via webserver
• probes: information on the probe readings and conguration of the
main and limit probe Select the type of signal and dene the minimum
and maximum values
• scheduler: enable and set the daily and weekly time bands.
• control: select the type of control, set point, dierential and minimum/
maximum settings
System
The system page shows the main information on the application, the
available memory, network and system settings. There is also information
for registering the unit on the tERA remote cloud service.

8.2 Supervisor connection
The supervisor connection uses the serial or Ethernet port (as described
in paragraph 4.6). The default communication settings are Modbus on
serial port and BACnet on Ethernet port.
If connecting to the serial port, enable the chosen protocol (Modbus or
BACnet) on the screens. For Modbus protocol only, set the baud rate/
stop bits/parity. The default values (baud rate: 19000 / 2 stop bits / no
parity) should work in almost all cases, unless otherwise specied by the
supervisor network installer.
If connecting via Ethernet, follow the procedure (described in paragraph
8.1.1) to look up the unit’s IP address, then establish whether the
communication protocol will be BACnet and/or Modbus.
Important: if using BACnet protocol on a serial port, it cannot be used on
the Ethernet port (and vice-versa). The Modbus protocol can on the other
hand be used at the same time on both ports.
For all other information, see the manual for the supervisor used and/or
contact the supervisor network manager.

9. WIRELESS PROBES, INSTALLATION AND CONFIGURATION
9.1 Type of installation and wireless probe
electrical connections
Wireless probes are available for systems where standard wired probes
cannot be used, for example modications to existing installations. An
Access Point (CAREL P/N: WS01AB2M20) is used to connect up to four
wireless probes. Recommended Carel wireless probes are the room
2

Fig. 9.a
humiFog Direct/Access point connection:
To connect the humidier to the access point, use the Fieldbus
connection on terminal M3 (M3.1: Tx/Rx-, M3.2: Tx/Rx+, M3.3: GND):
Note: the devices have a range of around a hundred metres in a free
space, i.e. without any obstacles. In a closed space, the range varies
considerably depending on the type of environment and the surrounding
objects (shelves, metal partition walls etc.).
If installing multiple wireless probes, the controller will calculate the
weighted average between the various probe readings, depending on
the settings made by the user and the dened probe groups.
The table below shows the part numbers and descriptions of the Carel
devices that can be used:

(WS01G01M00) or industrial versions ( WS01F01M00), both of which
measure humidity and temperature. The type of installation is shown in
the gure below (referring to four wireless room probes):

2. humidier/access point connection;
3. Access point (WS01AB2M20);
4. Wireless probes for measuring temperature and

9.2 Wireless probe installation
The main steps for installing the wireless devices are:
• power on the access point (12/24 Vac/dc ±10%m, 100mA) and
complete the initialisation procedure, creating the network and
selecting the channel;
• after having opened the domain on the access point, complete the
binding procedure so as to uniquely identify each probe.
The address to be used by the access point is set using the dipswitches
on the device, and is the following:

This assigns the address 2 to the access point, with a baud rate (bit/sec)
of 19200 (N82). The addresses of the four serial probes, on the other hand,
must be set as shown in the table below:
Remember to verify the quality of the wireless signal between the Access
Point and each wireless probe.
For a complete description of the installation procedure, see the Carel
manual on the corresponding probes and access point.
To congure the probes refer to screens: Dc13, Dc14, Dc15, Dc16 and
Dc17.
In particular, screen Dc03 is used to enable the wireless probes connected
to the access point, knowing that addresses 16, 17, 18 and 19 are probe 1,
probe 2, probe 3 and probe 4 respectively.

11. MAINTENANCE
11.1 Routine maintenance
Routine maintenance is recommended every three months, and mainly
involves visual inspection of correct operation of the main components.
The following is a list of recommended operations:
• Check water inlet lter.
It is recommended to change the lter cartridge once every 6-12 months.
To change the cartridge, switch the unit o and close the feedwater line.
Empty the lter using the small tap at the bottom. Unscrew the white
holder from the nut at the top using the tool provided. Remove the lter
cartridge inside and t a new one (P/N ECKFILT050). Tighten the holder,
ensuring that the O-ring is still in good condition to ensure tightness.
Close the tap under the holder and open the feedwater line.
• Check pump oil level.
To check the level visually, use a mirror that allows a view of side of the
pump facing to the cabinet wall. There is a small mark behind a circular
transparent Plexiglas cover. The oil level is correct if, with the unit o, it
remains around the central circumference. If the level is lower than the
minimum shown in the gure, top up with oil to the correct level (oil P/N
5024646AXX).
Generally the oil level should remain constant and periodical top ups
should not be needed. If oil leaks are found, contact CAREL.
11.2 Special maintenance
Special maintenance involves all those operations that are performed
on a one-o basis in the event of malfunctions or breakages of certain
components.
The following components are those susceptible to breakage:

11.3 Pump maintenance
The pump is the most complex mechanical device inside the cabinet, as
well as the heart of the high pressure system.It therefore requires regular
maintenance, involving the operations described below.

Fig. 11.a
• Check the nozzles: make sure the spray cone from the nozzles is
regular.
Even when using demineralised water, some particle may at times
build-up on the nozzle opening, making the spray cone less uniform
and aecting absorption eciency. If this happens, remove the nozzle
(unscrew using a 10 mm spanner) and clean it (immersing in acetic acid
tom remove scale) or replace it (P/N UAKMTP%000). Before assembling
the nozzle again, remove the residual Teon from the thread and the
small white lter at the base of the nozzle, and apply the sealant again to
ensure water tightness.
• Check the fans
Make sure that all of the fans on the blower units are working. In the
event of malfunctions, check the power supply wiring. If the wiring is OK,
replace the fan.
• Check that there are no water leaks inside cabinet and on the
distribution line and ttings.
11.3.1 Oil change
Important: after the rst 50 hours of operation, the oil in the pump needs
to be changed (P/N 5024646AXX). Failure to change the oil after the rst
50 hours may cause damage to the pump and reduce its working life.
The rst oil supplied, in fact, will accumulate debris due to transport and
commissioning, and a longer operating time cannot be guaranteed.
Important: change the pump oil after the rst 50 hours of operation.
Important: if there are no leaks or faults, when the "1000 h" check
warning is shown, the oil change may be postponed.
In normal operating conditions, except for the rst oil change oil after 50
hours, it is recommended the change the oil every 3000 operating hours.
Every 1000 hours, a warning is generated by the electronic controller,
while the 3000 operating hours are signalled by the electronic controller
via the "3000 hour maintenance" alarm on the display.
To change the oil, follow the sequence described below (with the unit o
and the water line closed):
1. Remove the yellow cap on the top of the pump and unscrew the oil
drain plug attraction the bottom (steel hexagonal plug).
2. Empty the oil into a suitable container. Close the plug.
3. Dispose of the oil in accordance with local standards.
4. Fill the pump body with SAE 15W40 mineral oil, up to the level
suggested by the circular marker on the side of the pump (the
required oil content is around 350 ml).
5. Finally, close the yellow cap on the top of the pump.

11.3.2 Gasket and valve replacement
The gaskets and valves require replacement every each 3000 hours,
as signalled on the display by the “3000 hour maintenance” alarm.
Nonetheless, in specic conditions of stress replacement may be needed
earlier.
Carel recommends to check the pump operation every 1000 operating
hours (signalled by notication). If the pump makes noise, or is not able
to reach the required operating pressure (70 bars), the gaskets and valves
may need to be replaced sooner.
Valves and gaskets are consumables, and wear does not reect a product
malfunction.
To replace the gaskets, proceed as follows:
1. Disconnect the wiring from the high pressure switch, solenoid valve
BYP and the NTC probe.
2. Disconnect the pump outlet hose (at the top right).
3. Unscrew the eight hex screws that hold the pump head to the guard.
4. Remove the gaskets and replace them with new ones (P/N
UAKVGO1501).
5. Tighten the eight hex screws so as to secure the pump head to the
guard.
6. Connect the outlet hose to the pump.
7. Reconnect the pressure switch, solenoid valve and NTC probe
To replace the valves, proceed as follows:
1. Unscrew the three hexagonal caps on the front of the brass pump
head.
2. Unscrew the three hexagonal caps on the top of the brass pump
head.
3. Replace the six valves with new ones (P/N UAKVGO1501).
4. Tighten the six caps removed previously.

11.4 50 hour oil change warning
The rst “oil change required” maintenance warning is shown after
50 operating hours: this indicates that the oil needs to be changed
immediately. This warning is typically displayed a few days after the
systems is rst started. Therefore when starting the system, make sure a
spare can of oil is available for the rst oil change, in accordance with the
procedure described in paragraph “11.3.1 Oil change”.
The warning can be easily reset by pressing the “Alarm” button on the
user interface (button at the top left).
For practical reasons, the warning can also be reset after 40 operating
hours, entering the “control menu > screen Da10”. The warning cannot be
reset before 40 operating hours.
After 1000 hours of operation, humiFog direct generates a "1000 hour
maintenance" notication, signal only. This is a warning that tells the
user to check correct operation of the system. If the pump can reach the
nominal operating pressure of 70 bars, no action needs to be taken.
The notication can be easily reset by pressing the "alarm" button on the
user interface (top left button).
The same occurs after 2000 hours of operation.
After 3000 hours, on the other hand, humiFog direct generates a "3000
hour maintenance" alarm, which shuts the unit down. In this case, action
needs to be taken on the unit, changing the oil and replacing the pump
gaskets and valves (as described in paragraphs 11.3.1 and 11.3.2).
Will be necessary subsequently reset the alarm in the menu “Control >
screen Da09” and press subsequently the “Alarm” button of the display.

If for some reason the gaskets and valves need to be replaced before
3000 operating hours, the hour counter needs to be reset on screen
Da09. It is recommended, whenever replacing the gaskets and valves, to
also change the oil before resetting the hour counter.
