BEFORE INSTALLING OR HANDLING THE AP PLIANCE PLEASE CAREFULLY READ AND FOLLOW THE
INSTRUCTIONS AND SAFETY STANDARDS DESCRIBED IN THIS MANUAL AND ILLUSTR ATED ON THE
LABELS ATTACHED TO THE MACHINE.
This humidifi er produces non-pressurised steam using heating elements immersed in the water contained in the cylinder (hereafter cylinder); the steam produced is used to humidify environments or
industrial processes, through special distributors.
The quality of the water used does not affect the evaporation process, and as a result the appliance can
be supplied with untreated water, as long as such water is fi t for drinking, demineralised or softened (see
Supply water characteristics); the evaporated water is automatically replaced using a refi ll valve.
To achieve uniform distribution of the heat fl ow, the heating elements, which are electrically insulated
from the water, are covered in an aluminium casting, and are also available with a special non-stick
coating to prevent and aid the removal of lime scale.

Humidifi ers up to 10 kg/h /22 lbr/hHumidifi ers from to 20-27-40-60 kg/h (44-59.5-88-132.2 lbr/h )
Steam is produced with the heating elements completely immersed in water, whose level is controlled
by a sensor made up of two independent and overlapping fl oat switches, that is, the working level switch
and safety level switch.
2.1.1 L evel control
It is composed of a fl oat contained in a plastic pipe. Constrained to the level control case, an electronic
board detect the fl oat position and display the levels through three LEDs:
green working level, yellow charge level, red safety level. The signals, working and safety level, are
detailed in the paragraphs 2.1.2, 2.1.3.
2.1.2 Working level switch
This switch, which activates the fi ll electrovalve, introduces water through the special pipe into the fi ll
tank, from where, dropping from a fi ll diaphragm, it refi lls the level inside the cylinder; the fi ll electrovalve is fi tted with a fl ow limiter, maintaining the fl ow basically constant on changes in mains pressure.
ENGLISH
2.1.3 Safety level switch
This switch shuts off power to the elements, activating the alarm in the case where the level is insuffi cient.
2.2 Overfi ll device
This is a device used to avoid water exiting the cylinder over the safety level, due for example to the
malfunctioning of the control module (for more details, see THE HUMIDIFIER CONTROLLER) or to
leaking from the fi ll electrovalve.
The fi ll tank is fi tted with an overfi ll diaphragm which diverts the excess inlet water, discharging it
through special pipe.
The overfi ll diaphragm is lower than the fi ll diaphragm to avoid back fl ow through the supply pipe.
2.3 Control of steam production
Steam production can be controlled either:
• By step, alternating steam production with standby using a
humidistat or external contact; steam production can be controlled in four steps with pseudo-modulation from 30% to 100% of rated power, cyclically activating the remote-control switch (humidifi er
with type C control module).
• By continuous modulation from 0% to 100% of rated power, using solid-state relays (SSR); the
control logic is PWM (pulse width modulation) with programmable base times (humidifi er with type
H or T control module).
2.4 Measurement of supply water conductivity- alarm
To optimise the functionality of the humidifi er by suitably portioning the automatic draining cycles (see
Automatic draining), when the fi ll electrovalve is opened the conductivity of the inlet water is measured
using the special electrodes in the tank.
Two high conductivity thresholds can be set to activate respectively a pre-alarm and an alarm (with the
shut-down of the appliance) when these thresholds are exceeded for at least 60 minutes, or instantly if
the value measured is greater than three times the set value.
2.5 Automatic draining
The automatic draining function is managed by the control module. Part of the water contained in the
cylinder is drained automatically, being replaced by fresh water to prevent an excessive salt concentration following the evaporation process.
The drain pump/electrovalve is operated for a pre-set time at intervals that vary automatically as a
function of the steam production and the content of solids dissolved in the supply water, detected using
the conductivity measuring electrodes.
Irrespective of the concentration of salt in the supply water, at least one drain cycle is performed within
a maximum interval based on the quantity of steam produced; this is also true for demineralised supply
water.

heaterSteam +030222011 - rel. 2.1 - 21.05.2010
Page 11
2.6 Foam elimination procedure
The level of water inside the cylinder is maintained by the level control at around 10-12 cm / 3.94-4- .72inch
(about 18-20 cm /7.1-7.87inch for the cylinder of the 20-60 kg/h/44-132.2lbr/h humidifi ers) from the
top of the cylinder, therefore, when the high level electrodes are wet, an anomalous situation arises,
generally caused by the presence of foam. In this case a drain procedure is activated, and is repeated
until the phenomenon desists or, in the event of multiple activation, until the appliance is shut-down and
an alarm state is signalled.
2.7 Safety thermostat (Motor Protector)
The mechanical safety thermostat with manual reset intervenes in the event of overheating, caused by a
lack of water inside the cylinder due to the malfunctioning of the minimum level control. This deactivates
the relay that controls the power supplied to the elements, and places the humidifi er in an alarm state.
2.8 Autotest procedure
Each time the humidifi er is started (switched from the OFF to the ON position), an autotest (default)
procedure is performed, including checks on the operation of the level control, to test the regular
functioning of the appliance:
1. “At” is shown during the autotest;
2. The autotest can be temporarily manually disabled by pressing key SEL during the initial 5 seconds
after switching on heaterSteam: “-nt” will be shown. Note that this procedure disables the autotest
only for the switch-on in course, not permanently (read below for disabling the autotest
permanently);
3. The autotest can be disabled permanently by setting the parameter b1 as shown in table in
chapter 11.4.
On start-up and on each draining cycle the operation of the level control is automatically checked by
opening the fi ll electrovalve until the activation of the working level switch (green LED) and, successively,
opening the drain pump electrovalve until the activation of both level switches, and fi nally, restoring
the correct level, NOTE: returns to the working level only if there is demand, otherwise remains at the
safety level; in the event of a failed test or irregular timing the remote-control switch is automatically
deactivated and the alarm activated.
2.9 Measurement of the water temperature and pre-heating
(not available in the version with type C control module)
The control module measures, using an NTC sensor, the temperature of the water, and can be programmed to activate the pre-heating function near the value set for the start of humidifi cation; in this way,
steam production occurs more quickly.
ENGLISH
2.10 Dehumidifi cation request signal (not available in the
version with type C control module)
If activated, this function closes the relay contact when the relative humidity measured by the transducer
connected to the control module exceeds the set threshold.
This signal can be used to activate an external dehumidifi cation device.
2.11 Procedure for cleaning the drain valve (UR 2 to 10kg/h/4.4
to 22lbr/h)
For the models with drain valve there are two procedures used to clean the drain valve.
The purpose is:
1. to prevent the valve from being blocked due to fl akes of lime scale.
2. to prevent the solenoid drain valve from leaking.
• The fi rst procedure is activated during a drain to dilute (automatic draining, see par. 2.5), drain due to
foam or due to inactivity cycle. This procedure is used to repeatedly activate and deactivate (with the fi ll
valve open) the drain valve for 1 second at start of the drain cycles.
• The second procedure, called “chattering”, is activated when fi lling the water in steady operation, and
involves repeatedly activating and deactivating the drain valve for 1 second when the algorithm
calculates that a no water alarm condition (“EF”) is about to occur.

3. CONTROL PRINCIPLES
The range of humidifi ers includes the following control possibilities.
3.1 ON/OFF control (control module C)
The action in this case is all or nothing, activated by an external contact that determines the set point and
the control differential (or hysteresis).
Average steam production can be adjusted using a pseudo-modulating action, through the cyclical activation of the remote-control switch with a fractional actuation period (operation) that can be programmed in four steps: 30%, 50%, 75% or 100% of the total time (this mode can not be applied in severe
operating conditions and without consequences on the noise level, caused by the frequent activation of
the remote-control switch).
3.2 Modulating control (control module H)
The appliance is fi tted with solid-state relays and steam production can be controlled continuously as a
function of the required quantity, in one of the following modes.

As for the type C control module (see ON/OFF control (type C control module)).
3.2.2 Slave control, with signal emitted from an external regulator (parameter A0= 1)
Steam production is proportional to the value of an external signal Y, (selected by programming one of
the following standards: 0 to 1Vdc; 0 to 10Vdc; 2 to 10Vdc; 0 to 20mA; 4 to 20mA) the entire range of
which is indicated by BP (proportional band).
The maximum production Pmax, corresponding to the maximum value of the external signal Y, can be
programmed between 10% and 100% of the rated value of the humidifi er.
The minimum production Pmin is fi xed at 10% of the rated value, with an
activation hysteresis provided by the value hy, equal to 2% of the entire range BP of the external signal Y.
If enabled, the pre-heating function overlaps the control diagram, and is activated when the external
signal Y is lower than the activation point for steam production by a quantity b2.
3.2.3 Autonomous control with relative humidity transducer (parameter A0= 2)
Steam production is linked to the measurement of % rH, performed by the relative humidity transducer
connected to the regulator, and increases as the distance from the set point St increases.

The maximum production P0, which occurs when the relative humidity is less that the set point by a

The minimum production Pmin is fi xed at 10% of the rated value, with an activation hysteresis provided
by the value hy, equal to 10% of P1.
The pre-heating function, if enabled, overlaps the control diagram and is activated when the relative
humidity % rH, measured by the transducer, is higher than St by a programmable quantity b2.
The dehumidifi cation function, if enabled, overlaps the control diagram and is activated when the relative
humidity % rH, transmitted by the transducer, is higher than St by a programmable quantity P5+P6; the
hysteresis of the step, also programmable, is equal to P6.

To check that the relative humidity measured by the transducer is within the pre-set values, the control
Fig. 3.b
module with autonomous control allows two alarm thresholds to be programmed:
• high relative humidity alarm threshold P2;
• low relative humidity alarm threshold P3.
When these thresholds are exceeded, after a programmable delay P4, an alarm state is activated, with

the closing of the contact of the corresponding relay on the main control board.
With autonomous control (parameter A0=2) it is also possible to have an ON/OFF action, as represented
in the graph, by disabling power modulation (setting parameter b0=0).
The pre-heating and/or dehumidifi cation, if enabled, remain unchanged.
3.2.4 Autonomous control with ambient relative humidity transducer and outlet humidity
limiting transducer (parameter A0= 3)
In this case too the regulator modulates steam production as a function of the measurement % rH performed by the main relative humidity transducer, however, in addition, its entity is limited if the relative
humidity % rH2 measured by a second compensation transducer placed in the air duct downstream
from the humidifi er exceeds the maximum desired value.
To prevent the relative humidity measured by the transducer in the air duct downstream from the
humidifi er exceeding a value considered as excessive, the control module with autonomous control
and second transducer connected allows a high outlet relative humidity alarm threshold P9, to be programmed. If this threshold is exceeded, after a programmable delay P4, an alarm state is activated, with
closing of the contact of the corresponding relay on the main control board.

3.2.5 Application for steam baths (type T control module)
In applications for steam baths, where the control probe measures temperature rather than humidity, the
same considerations are valid as for the type H control module with modulating action and autonomous
control.
Recommended transducer: SSTOOB/P40, ASET030001 or ASET030000.
3.3 Setting the alarm thresholds (type H or T control module)
The control module panel allows the setting of limit thresholds for the activation of the alarm in the
event where these are exceeded.
These alarm thresholds can be programmed using the following control parameters:
• P2: high relative humidity alarm threshold, measured by the room probe;
• P3: low relative humidity alarm threshold, measured by the room probe;
• P9: high relative humidity alarm threshold, measured by the outlet probe (for ducted humidifi cation).
Parameters P2, P3, P4 are programmable only when A0=2 or 3; parameter P9 is programmable only
when A0=3.
Furthermore, the control module can signal the excessive conductivity (and salt concentration) of the
supply water, but only as a default setting.
WARNING: the parameter A0 and the operating and alarm parameters Px and b0 are set in the factory
(default values valid for normal applications). Nonetheless, these can be modifi ed by the user, following
the instructions contained in: Reading and programming the parameters for the type H or T control module.

5. POSITIONING THE UNIT
The humidifi er must be positioned and fastened by qualifi ed personnel, following the instructions listed
herein.
Choose the best location for the installation of the steam distributor, that is the position which minimises
the length of the steam pipe or, in the case of direct ambient humidifi cation using a ventilated distributor, the central point of the space being humidifi ed (see STEAM DISTRIBUTION). The unit is designed to
be mounted to a wall that must be able to support its weight in operating conditions (see Dimensions
and weights).
The metal casing of the humidifi er heats up during operation, and the rear part resting against the wall
may reach temperatures above 60 °C / 140 °fH; ensure that this does not cause any problems. Make
sure the machine is level, respecting the minimum distances indicated in the drawing, to allow the
necessary maintenance operations.
WARNING: ensure that the cooling fan outlet grille is not blocked or covered.
5.1 Fastening
The appliance must be fastened to the wall using the supplied screws and plugs.
Use the following distances for the drilling template.
Fasten the bracket supplied with the humidifi er to the wall, checking that it is horizontal using a spirit level; if it is mounted to a brick wall, the plastic wall plugs (Ø 8 mm)/(Ø 0.31 inch) and screws (Ø 5 mm
x L= 50 mm)/(Ø 0.2 inch x L=1.97 mm) supplied can be used.

6. WATER CONNECTIONS
The water connections for the supply and the draining of the unit must be made by specialist and
qualifi ed personnel, who are capable of performing the work correctly and according to local standards.
Before making the connections, ensure that the machine is disconnected from the mains power.
6.1 Supply water characteristics
The supply water for the electric heater humidifi er must not be corrosive, must not emit bad odours, and
must not contain too much lime to avoid excessive deposits.
The water, supplied from mains drinking water or demineralised water, must have the following
characteristics:

Note that treating the water with softeners or polyphosphates does not decrease the quantity of
dissolved salts, and can lead to the formation of foam and hence irregular operation and corrosion of
heating elements.
If softened water is used, it should be diluted with mains tap water in such proportions as to ensure a
minimum hardness of 5° fH, and parameter b4 should be set (value 1500) so as to increase the frequency of the drain cycles for dilution.
Not recommended:
1. the use of well water, industrial water or water from cooling circuits and, in general, water which
may be chemically or bacteriologically contaminated;
2. the addition to the water of disinfectants or anticorrosion compounds, as these may cause irritation.
Nota: no relationship can be proven between water hardness and conductivity; nonetheless, as an
indication only, water with a hardness of 40°fH should have an approximate conductivity of around
900-1000 mS/cm at 20 °C/68°fH.
6.2 Characteristics of the drain water
Inside the humidifi er water boils and steam is produced, without the addition of any kind of substance.
The drain water, therefore, contains the same substances as those dissolved in the supply water, yet
in a greater proportion, depending on the concentration in the supply water and the set drain cycles;
it can also reach a temperature of 100 °C
collection system. The drain pipe, as well as being resistant to high temperatures, must also guarantee
the correct downfl ow of the water; a downward slope of at least 5° is therefore recommended.

6.3 Technical specifi cations
UR 2-10 kg/h
The installation of the humidifi er requires connection to the supply water and drain pipe.
The connection of the supply water can be made using rigid or fl exible pipes with a minimum recommended internal diameter of 6mm, fi tted with a shut-off tap to allow the appliance to be disconnected
1
during maintenance operations. To simplify installation it is recommended to use CAREL fl exible pipes
with an internal diameter of 6 mm and an external diameter of 8mm (code 1312350APN) and the
rotating 3/4”G straight (code 9995727ACA) or elbow connector (code 9995728ACA), available upon
2
request.
It is recommended to install a mechanical fi lter to trap any solid impurities.
The drain water connection is made using a section of rubber or plastic pipe resistant to temperatures of
100°C/212°fH, with a recommended internal diameter of 36 mm/1.42inch (see table 6.3.1).
This section of pipe must be fastened using metal clamps:

• above, onto the appliance outlet pipe coupling;
• below, onto the rigid pipe, with a minimum slope of 5°.
In the humidifi ers UR 020-027-040-060 the drain tank must be emptied connecting a rubber pipe, which
has to be connected to the discharge system, withstanding 100 °C/212°fH with øint.= 20 mm /0.79inch

IMPORTANT WARNING: the drain pipe must be free, without back-pressure and with a drain trap
immediately downstream from the connection to the humidifi er. We suggest you use a safety device
(not supplied) that, in case of breaking of the hydraulic connections outside the humidifi er, prevents
possible fl ooding.
6.4 Checks
The following conditions represent correct water connections:
• disconnection of the supply water line using a shut-off tap;
• presence of a mechanical fi lter in the supply water line;
• water temperature and pressure within the acceptable values;
• drain pipe resistant to temperatures of 100°C/212°fH;
• minimum drain pipe internal diameter of 40mm/
• minimum slope of drain pipe greater than or equal to 5°.
IMPORTANT WARNING: on completion of the installation procedure, fl ush the supply pipe for around
30 minutes by passing water directly through the pipe and without introducing it into the humidifi er. This
will allow the elimination of any scoria and processing residues that may cause the formation of foam
during the boiling process.

7. ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS
The electrical connections must be made by specialist and qualifi ed personnel, who are capable of
performing the work correctly and according to local standards. Before making the connections, ensure
that the machine is disconnected from the mains power.
Check that the voltage of the appliance’s power supply corresponds to the value indicated on the data
plate inside the electrical panel. Introduce the power and ground connection cable gland into the
electrical panel through the fairlead supplied, connect the ends to the terminals and fasten them in place
using the special tear-proof cable gland clamp (see Fig. 2.1). The power line to the humidifi er must be
fi tted with a cut-off switch and fuses protecting against short-circuits, to be mounted by the installer.
Table 7.1.1 sh ows the recommended cross-sections of the power cable and the recommended sizes of
the fuses; note, however, that this data is purely indicative and, in the event of non-conformity with local
standards, the latter must prevail.

The humidifi er’s control module can be connected to an RS485 serial line, as per the diagram in Fig. 7.n,
or alternatively to:
• a CAREL Humivisor remote control panel (see specifi c instruction manual), which can be connected
to four different humidifi ers;
• a remote supervisory system.
The transmission line can reach a maximum distance of 1000 metres between the two most distant
points.
7.5.4 Using different brand probes
Different brand probes can be used, with output signals selected, by programming the parameter A2,
(see THE HUMIDIFIER CONTROLLER) from the following:
• voltage signal: 0 to 1 Vdc; 0 to 10 Vdc; 2 to 10 Vdc;
• current signal: 0 to 20 mA; 4 to 20 mA.
In addition, the maximum and minimum values must be programmed for the signal (parameters A3 and
A4 for the room probe; A7 and A8 for the outlet probe).
The probes can be powered at the following voltages:
• 12 V stabilised at terminal 4I;
• 32 Vdc from the rectifying of 24 Vac at terminal 3I.
The control signals must be connected:
• for the control probe HT (TT in the case of controls for steam baths) to terminal 5I, whose reference
ground (GND) is terminal 6I;
• for the limiting probe CH, to terminal 1I, whose reference ground (GND) is terminal 2I.
IMPORTANT WARNINGS:
• To avoid disturbances to control, the ground of the probes or the external regulators must be electrically connected to the ground of the appliance’s control;
• For humidifi er operation terminals 7I and 8I must be connected by an enabling contact or a jumper
(default solution). If terminals 7I and 8I are not connected, all internal and external devices com
manded by the control are disabled.

8. STEAM DISTRIBUTION
For optimal performance of the humidifi er, the steam produced must be introduced into the room/duct
in a uniform way, without projecting droplets and without noticeable condensation, using ventilated
steam distributors or linear distributors. The steam distributor must be chosen according to the place
where the steam is introduced. If the steam is to be distributed directly into the environment (rooms,
warehouses, etc.), the ventilated steam distributors used (optional) should be fi tted with a motorised fan.
If, on the other hand, the steam is to be introduced into a duct or air handling system, linear distributors
must be used, which exploit the speed of the air itself for distribution.
Ventilated steam distributors, used to distribute steam directly into the environment, can be mounted
onto the humidifi er (see Fig. 8.a) or positioned separately and connected to the humidifi er (see Fig. 8.b)
using steam pipes.
The drawings show the minimum recommended distances to prevent the fl ow of humidifi ed air from
coming into direct contact with persons, lights, electrical appliances, false ceilings and cold surfaces
before the steam is completely absorbed by the environment.
For further details on the mounting and use of ventilated steam distributors, please refer to the specifi c
instruction manual.

8.2 Steam distribution in cold rooms
It is possible to humidify a cold room using a ventilated steam distributor, ensuring that this works
within the limits of its operating range. The cold room must have an operating temperature between
-10 °C (14°fH) and +40 °C (104°fH), with a relative humidity of not over 80% rH. If these limits are not
possible, the steam can be distributed in the cold room using a linear distributor.
In any case, the steam must not come into direct contact with cold air streams from the cold room’s
refrigeration unit, to avoid possible re-condensation.

8.3 Ducted steam distribution: linear and concentrated jet
distributors (OEM)
For steam distribution in air ducts, the steam distributor must be suitably proportioned to the power of
the humidifi er and the cross-section of the ducts. For this purpose, CAREL supplies two ranges of linear
distributors: one of stainless steel, with plastic ends.
Figures 8.c and 8.d provide the dimensions of CAREL distributors.
Table 8.a indicates the minimum number and model of the distributors recommended for the type of
humidifi er used.
N.B.: if the duct is not wide enough for the distributors can be used (numbers shown in the brackets),
splitting the steam hose into two.

The linear distributors are mounted (see Fig. 8.d):
• by making a series of holes in the wall of the duct, as per the drilling template indicated in Figs.: 8.a
or 8.b;
• inserting the distributor with the steam outlet holes facing upwards;
• fastening the fl ange of the distributor using 3 screws.
To allow the condensate to return through the drain connection (see Installing the condensate return
pipe), mount the distributor at a slight angle (at least 2°-3° Fig. 8.c) with the inlet connection nearer than
the closed end, which, for this reason, must be adequately supported.

8.4 Concentrated jet steam distribution (OEM) (only for
humidifi ers up to 10 Kg/h/22 lbr/h)
For special applications (e.g. steam baths, technological machinery) a plastic OEM concentrated jet
distributor is available, with holes (12 or 22 mm)/(0.47 or 0.87 inch) or without, allowing the user to
make these according to requirements (see Fig. 8.e).
The OEM distributors can be fi tted, horizontally or vertically with the hole facing upwards, onto a support
with the same holes as per the drilling template for the aluminium linear distributor (see Fig. 8.e).
N.B.: when using steam tubing with an internal diamter of 30 mm/ 1.18 inch, remove the 22 mm/ 0.87 inch
steam inlet section.

8.5 Positioning linear distributors in the air duct
Depending on the dimensions of the air duct, the distributors must be as long as possible and placed
away from curves, branches, changes in cross-section, grilles, fi lters, fans.
The minimum recommended distance between the steam distributor and the nearest obstacle is around
1 to 1.5 metres/3.28 to 4.92 feet, yet this strongly depends on the operating conditions; it in fact increases as a result of:
• the increase in speed of the air in the duct;
• the increase in relative humidity of the air before and, above all, after humidifi cation;
• the decrease in turbulence.
The distance can be shortened using a series of distributors in parallel.
Refer to the layout and the distances between the distributor and the walls of the duct and/or between
two distributors as shown in the following drawings.

8.6 Installation of the steam pipe
The connection between the humidifi er and distributor must be made using a suitable pipe, such as the
CAREL fl exible pipes. The use of incorrect pipe may lead to fragility and cracks and consequent steam
leaks.
The shape of the pipe must be such as to avoid the accumulation of condensate and consequent noise
(in the form of gurgling) and loss of effi ciency; the course of the pipe must exploit gravity to drain the
re-condensed steam back to the cylinder or the distributor.
Avoid the formation of pockets or traps where condensate may form; furthermore, ensure that the pipe
is not choked due to tight bends or twisting (see Fig. 8.g).
Fasten the ends of the pipe to the connections on the humidifi er and the steam distributor using screw
clamps, so that they do not come loose as a result of the temperature.
Depending on the position of the steam distributor, the course of the pipe may be one of the following:
1. upwards with a vertical section at least 300mm/11.8 inch in length, followed by a bend with a
minimum radius of 300 mm/11.8 inch, and fi nally a downward section with a constant slope of not
less than 5° (see Fig. 8.h);
2. for very short courses (less than 2 metres/7 feet), a curve with a minimum radius of 300mm/
11.8 inch followed by from an upward section with a slope of not less than 20° (see Fig. 8.i).
>5°
D>200mm
Fig. 8.h
>20°
Fig. 8.i
IMPORTANT WARNING: the length of the steam pipe should be less than 4 m/13.1 feet.
R>300mm
8.7 Installing the condensate return pipe
Due to the re-condensation of part of the steam produced, condensate forms in the steam conveyance
pipe and inside the distributor, which must be drained to avoid gurgling, and loss of effi ciency.
The condensate is drained by the effect of gravity with the help of a fl exible pipe suitable for this purpose. The use of an incorrect pipe can lead to fragility and cracks and consequent water leaks.
To avoid the non-condensed steam from being released through the condensate pipe, a trap must be
created by curling a part of the drain pipe.
The end of the condensate pipe can be connected to the nearest drain, with a minimum slope of 5° to
assist downfl ow (see Fig. 8.h).
If there is enough distance from the distributor, the hose can be introduced into the humidifi er through
the hole on the top of the unit, reaching the boiler supply tank (for 20-60kg/h units), or alternatively
connected to the special C fi tting supplied, to be tightened to the top of the humidifi er, so as to drain the
condensate from boiler supply tank (see Fig.. 8.i).
IMPORTANT WARNING: for correct functioning, the drain trap must be fi lled with water before starting
the humidifi er.
8.8 Checks
The following conditions represent the correct installation of the steam pipe:
• the position of the steam distributor conforms to that described in this chapter, the steam outlet pipe
points upwards and the distributor is inclined at least 2° upwards;
• the ends of the pipes are fastened with metal screw clamps;
• the curves in the pipe are quite wide (radius > 300 mm /11.8 inch) so as not to cause pinching or
choking;
• there are no pockets or traps in the steam pipe to avoid condensation;
• the courses of the steam pipe and the condensate pipe conform to those described in this chapter;
• the length of the steam pipe does not exceed 4 metres/13.1 feet;
• the slope of the steam pipe is suffi cient to drag the condensate (> 20° for the upward sections, > 5°
for the downward sections);
• the slope of the condensate pipe is at least 5° at each point;
• the condensate pipe features a drain trap (fi lled with water before start-up) to avoid the release of
steam.

Page 41
9. START-UP
IMPORTANT WARNING: on completion of the installation procedure, drain the supply pipe for around
30 minutes by passing water directly through the pipe and without introducing it into the humidifi er. This
will allow the elimination of any scoria and processing residues that may cause the formation of foam
during the boiling.
9.1 Preliminary checks
Before starting the humidifi er, check that:
• the water and electrical connections are made and the steam distribution system is confi gured according to the instructions contained herein;
• the shut-off tap for water into the humidifi er is open;
• the power fuses are installed and in tact;
• terminals 7I and 8I are connected by jumper or connected to the remote ON/OFF contact, and that
the latter is closed;
• the probes or the external control device are correctly connected (and that the ground of these
devices is electrically connected to the ground of the main control board);
• the steam outlet pipe is not choked;
• in the event of ducted humidifi cation, the operation of the humidifi er is slave to the operation of the
air fan (replacing or in series with the remote ON/OFF contact);
• the distributor condensate return pipe is installed and free;
• the drain pipe is correctly connected and free.
Before starting the humidifi er, check that it is in perfect condition, that there are no water leaks and that
the electrical parts are dry. Do not supply voltage if the humidifi er is damaged or even partially wet!

9.2 Removing the heating element centring spring (only for
three-phase models)
To prevent the elements in three-phase models hitting each other or against the internal wall of the
cylinder and thus damaging the appliance, due to vibrations or bumps during transport, the heating
elements are factory-fi tted with a centring spring, which has no function during the operation of the
appliance.
As the centring spring may hinder the removal of lime-scale from the elements and diminish the interval
between cleaning cycles, the spring should be removed before the initial start-up.
To do this, remove the cylinder by following the relative instructions (see Maintenance of the cylindercylinder).
9.3 Start-up
After having closed the power switch to the humidifi er, turn the appliance on by moving the rocker
switch (next to the DRAIN button) located in the bottom right of the frame, to the I position.
The start-up sequence is then initiated. This includes the initial phase, the autotest phase, and fi nally, the
actual operating phase.
According to the model of the humidifi er’s control module, the start-up sequence is signalled by the
lighting up of the LEDs on the control panel, as described in the following chapter.

3 - OPERATION
The humidifi er, if enabled performs the autotest, and then begins operation; the control module indicates, on the four-stage bar graph (30%; 50%; 75%; 100%), the set steam production and, in the event of
an alarm, the number on the corresponding bar code.
10.1.3 Display and control
Normally the panel shows the set steam production capacity, using the 4-stage bar graph (30%; 50%;
75%; 100%).
To change the set value press the and buttons. The change to the set production is stored
permanently.

10.1.4 Alarm indications
The lighting up of LED 9 (see Fig. 10.a) and a combination of the LEDs 5 indicates the presence of a
current alarm state; in the event of more than one alarms, the LEDs 5 light up in sequence, at 2 second
intervals.
At the same time, the control module activates the alarm relay (see ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS).
To interpret the type of alarm, see ALARMS AND TROUBLESHOOTING.
The control module continues to indicate the alarm state (even if this is no longer active) until the reset
button is pressed; still active alarms can not be reset.
10.1.5 Manual drain command
In the fi rst 5 seconds from the start-up of the unit (during the autotest sequence: see Fig. 10.c), press the
and buttons at the same time. After 2 seconds the drain solenoid valve is activated and completely
empties the water contained in the cylinder. To stop the drain cycle, press the and buttons again.
10.1.6 Setting the steam production
The average steam production can be adjusted using a pseudo-modulating action, with the cyclical
activation of the remote-control switch and a programmable operating interval divided into four steps:
30%; 50%; 75%; 100% of the total time (this mode can not be applied in severe operating conditions
and without consequences on the noise level caused by the frequent activation of the remote-control
switch). To do this, use the and buttons, see Fig. 10.a.

10.2.2 Start-up sequence
On starting-up the humidifi er, the start-up sequence occurs, signalled by the lighting up of the LEDs, as
described below.
1 - POWER ON
In this phase, lasting around a second, all the LEDs on the display light up.
2 - INITIALISATION
Duration around 4 seconds. The LEDs highlighted here all light up on the display.
3 - AUTOTEST PROCEDURE
see paragraph 2.8
4 - OPERATION
The humidifi er begins operation, and the control module indicates (see CONTROL PRINCIPLES) one of
the following options:
• steam production (in %) with slave control;
• the measurement of the main transducer with autonomous control;
• when the humidifi er is disabled, the 3 segments - - - light up in sequence.
In the event of an active alarm, the LED next to the ALARM marking lights up and the display shows the
corresponding code.

10.2.3 Display
The panel shows the current functional parameter programmed (with the code C0, see Reading and
programming the confi guration parameters).
Normally this is:
• the measurement of probe no. 1 (ambient humidity or temperature), in appliances with autonomous
control;
• steam production in appliances with slave control.
Pressing the SEL button displays for one second the unit of measure of the measurement displayed.
Pressing the button shows the measurement of probe 1 (if fi tted), preceded for 1 second by the
corresponding unit of measure. The display is valid even in the event where the probe is not connected.
Pressing the button shows the measurement of probe 2 (if fi tted), preceded for 1 second by the
corresponding unit of measure. The display is valid even in the event where the probe is not connected.
To display the set point (main setting):
• press the SEL button for around 2 seconds, until St appears (see Fig. 10.i);
• on releasing the button, the unit of measure of the set point is displayed for 1 second, and fi nally the

10.2.5 Alarm indication
In the event of an alarm state, the LED 9 (see Fig. 10.a) starts fl ashing, while the display shows the
alphanumeric alarm code, alternating every 2 seconds with the programmed value of the functional
parameter.
If more than one alarm is indicated, the display shows all the corresponding codes in sequence, at 2
second intervals.
At the same time, the control module activates the alarm relay (see ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS).
To interpret the type of alarm, refer to: ALARMS AND TROUBLESHOOTING. The control module will
continue to indicate the alarm state (even if it is no longer active) until the reset button is pressed; still
active alarm states can not be reset.
10.2.6 1. Total manual drain at SWITCH-ON
The total manual drain starts if keys and are kept pressed during the initial 5 seconds after switching
on heaterSteam. Once it starts, the keys can be released. The drain continues until either of the following
events occurs:
• the boiler is emptied;
• keys and are kept pressed again for at least 5 seconds: the drain stops.

11. READING AND PROGRAMMING THE PARAMETERS
OF THE TYPE H OR T CONTROL MODULE
The numerical, confi guration and control panel parameters are grouped into three levels:
1. LEVEL 1 - set point, that is the value of the appliance’s main setting St, accessible directly via the
keypad for both reading and modifi cation;
2. LEVEL 2 - control parameters and measurements, that is the physical vales measured and the
functional parameters involving the control of the humidifi cation process; these too can be accessed
directly via the keypad for reading and modifi cation;
3. LEVEL 3 - confi guration parameters consisting of the data
needed to customise the control, according to the requirements of the humidifi er. These parameters
are can be accessed only by password, to prevent the unwanted modifi cation of the confi guration
and the humidifi er’s essential functions.
Each parameter is composed as follows:
codealphanumeric symbol appearing on the display corresponding to the parame-
range of variationlimit values within which the parameter can be modifi ed
defaultvalue set in the factory for the parameter
unit of measuresymbol displayed showing the unit of measure used for the parameter
Warning: the numerical values from 200 to 255 are displayed with the symbol / in the place of the
hundreds digit 2 (due to the specifi c constructive confi guration of the display).
Figure 11.a shows how the number 215 is displayed.
11.1 Reading and programming the set point
To read and/or change the set point, proceed as follows:
• press the SEL button for around 2 seconds, until St appears;
• on releasing the button, the unit of measure of the set point is displayed for 1 second, and fi nally the
current set value;
• to change the set point, press the and buttons, checking that the action is being performed on
the display;
• press the SEL or PRG button to confi rm the value displayed and conclude the programming of the set
point.
The characteristics and the range of variation of the set point are listed in Table 11.b.

11.3 Reading and programming the control parameters - reading
the measurements
The control parameters represent the values relating to the process of ambient humidity (or temperature) control and are identifi ed by a code ranging between P0 and P9, according to the criteria described
in Table 11.c.
The readings are on the other hand the physical values measured by the transducers connected to the
control, depending on the model and the setting of the humidifi er, and the number of operating hours
from the previous reset; the measurements are identifi ed by a code ranging between d1 and d9 (see

11.4 Reading and programming the confi guration parameters
The confi guration parameters are used to set the operating mode of the controller, that is to assign the
humidifi er’s essential functions.
The confi guration parameters are divided into three groups:
• Parameters for confi guring standard operation (operating mode and types of probes), identifi ed by
codes from A0 to A9: see Table 11.f;
• Parameters for confi guring the operation of accessory devices, identifi ed by codes from b0 to b7:
see Table 11.g;
• Parameters for the setting the serial connections and remote control, identifi ed by codes from C0
to C7: see Table 11.i.
These parameters can be accessed only by password to prevent the unwanted modifi cation of the

11.4 Validity of the modifi cations to the parameters
The modifi cations made to the parameters normally take effect when confi rmed with the SEL button,
and are saved permanently with the PRG button. For some parameters relating to the serial connection,
the value will only take effect only the next time the unit is switched on. During the programming phase,
5 seconds after the last button is released, the display begins fl ashing (to remind the user that he is in
programming phase). Sixty seconds after the last button is released, if the value of a parameter is being
displayed, any modifi cations are ignored and the display returns to the parameter’s identifying code. After a further 5 seconds, the display begins fl ashing again, and after 60 seconds the programming phase
is terminated and the parameters return to the values previous to the programming phase. If, on the
other hand, the parameter’s identifying code is being displayed, the programming phase is terminated
directly after 60 seconds (time out).
11.5 Recalling the default parameters (factory settings)
The default values can be recalled only on start-up, and in the following way:
• in the fi rst 5 seconds from start-up (while the three dashes are displayed), press the PRG button until
the upper dash in the centre fl ashes, as indicated in the Figure;
• release the PRG button within 3 seconds to confi rm the recall and permanent saving of the default
parameters; to confi rm the saving of the values, the upper dash will stay on for 2 seconds (as
displayed in Fig. 11.n);
• the operation is not effected if the PRG button is pressed for more than 3 seconds, until the upper
dash disappears.

Recalling the default parameters does not change the parameter relating to the unit of measure
(A1), it is thus recommended to check and if necessary select and save the unit of measure as required,
and then recall the default parameters. In this way the default values will automatically be converted.
11.6 Resetting the hour counter
To reset the hour counter (parameter d4), proceed as follows:
• press the PRG button for 5 seconds, until the code P0 is displayed, indicating the fi rst modifi able
parameter; using the and buttons, scroll the parameters until d4 is displayed;
• press the SEL button to display the value of the hour counter (preceded for 1 second by the unit of
measure);
• press the and buttons together for 5 seconds until the value is set to zero, preceded by a brief
fl ash.
11.7 Displaying and modifying the unit of measure
The unit of measure of some parameters depends on the type of control and the programming.
Displaying the unit of measure can then avoid incorrect interpretation. In the case of non-dimensional
measurements, the unit of measure is not displayed. It is also possible to use imperial rather than standard units of measure (parameter A1). For the procedure to be followed please refer to: Programming:
accessing type A, b and C parameters.

11.8 Automatic total drain for inactivity
For hygienic reasons it is recommendable to empty the boiler not to have stagnant water inside in case
there isn’t any humidifi cation request for a long time.
In UR*H* and UR*T* the user can set the automatic total drain for inactivity as follows (read the remarks
below for UR*C*):
• The drain for inactivity is active by default. To disable it, simply go to parameter “b1” and operate as
described in the table in chapter 11.4;
• Vice-versa, if the drain for inactivity has been disabled, to enable it go to parameter “b1” and operate
as described in the table in chapter 11.4 and fi x the maximum inactivity period through the parameter
bC.
The automatic total drain for inactivity is enabled by default and the max. allowable default inactivity
period is 3 days, which means that the boiler is emptied automatically after heaterSteam has been on for
at least 3 days without humidifi cation request.
Parameter bC:
Range1 to 199 days
Default3 days
Step1 day
RemarksheaterSteam must be left on in order to empty the boiler;
UR*H* and UR*T*: the display shows “idr” during the automatic total drain for
inactivity;
UR*C*: the automatic total drain for inactivity is enabled by default and the
boiler is emptied after 2 days of inactivity (fi xed default) but neither b1 nor bC
can be edited.
11.9 User-adjustable duration of dilution drain
The duration of the dilution drain can be adjusted through the new user parameter bD which defi nes the
new duration as a % of the internally set default duration: new duration= default duration x bD / 100.
Example: if the internally set duration 10 s and bD= 50%, then the new duration= 10 s x 50 / 100= 5 s.
Parameter bD:

BELOW!)
100 %;
10 %.
bD= 0 % means that dilution drains are NOT DONE at all. WARNING:
RISK OF FOAM/CORROSION as the internal conductivity will increase. We
recommend to set bD= 0 after a very careful evaluation of the water quality
and consequences.
bD= 100 % means that the default duration will be used
bD< 100 % means that the duration is < default duration: less fresh water
is introduced after the drain thus reducing its negative impact on the steam
production (good for high precision applications), but the drain valve will
open more frequently in order to control the internal conductivity (decreasing lifetime). WARNING: RISK OF FOAM IN CASE bD IS TOO SMALL IN
RELATION THE WATER QUALITY
bD> 100 % means that the duration is > default duration: to be used for
diluting strongly the internal water when facing big foam and/or corrosion
problems. Steam fl ow will be negatively affected because of the larger
amount of fresh water introduced after the drain;
Choice of bD for a high-precision control of %rH: bD should be decreased
as much as possible, yet avoiding foam/corrosion. Choice procedure: trialand-error on fi eld
11.10 User-adjustable max. allowed no. of evaporation cycles
between 2 dilution drains
The no. of evaporation cycles between 2 subsequent dilution drains is internally calculated, but, through
the new parameter b8, the user is allowed to specify the max. allowed no. of evaporation cycles between
2 dilution drains. This means that the next diluition drain is done before the end of the b8 evaporation
cycle following the last diluition drain and NOT AFTER the b8-th evaporation cycle.

11.11 Reduced fi lls to restore water level after evaporation
When, during the steam production, the upper fl oater switches because the water level has decreased, a
fi ll starts for restoring the water level.
The duration of the fi ll can be decreased through the new user parameter bA which defi nes the new
duration as a % of the internally set default duration: new duration= default duration x bA / 100. Note
that, regardless the value entered into bA, the water level will be always restored up to the upper fl oater.
Parameter bA:
Range20 to 100 %
Default100 %
Step10 %
Remarks
bA= 100 % means that the default duration will be used
bA< 100 % means that the duration is < default duration: a smaller amount
of fresh water is introduced into the cylinder, thus with a smaller impact on
the steam production (good for high precision applications); on the other side,
however, the fi ll valve will open more frequently
11.12 PW M fi lls after dilution and high-level/foam drains
After a dilution or high-level/foam drain, water is fi lled into to restore the water level up to the upper
fl oater.
The fi lled fresh water disturbs the steam production because it decreases the average temperature of
the water inside the boiler: in order to reduce the negative infl uence of the fresh water on the steam
production, the user can enable the PWM fi lls after the dilution and high-level/foam drain.
PWM fi lls work as follows:
1. the mass of fresh water required to restore the water level is divided into smaller masses of fresh
water;
2. by keeping the partial fi lls as farther apart as possible from each other, each partial mass of fresh
water is given the maximum possible time for heating up before the next one arrives, thus reducing
the effect of the fresh water on the steam production.
The duration of each fi ll can be defi ned in seconds by the new user parameter bE:
Range5 to 199 seconds
Defaultseconds, which corresponds to one single fi ll, i.e. no PWM fi lls, because a 199s fi ll

12. THE REMOTE CONTROL (OPTIONAL ACCESSORY)
The remote control is an optional accessory and can only be used on humidifi ers with type H or T
control module (modulating).
It is available in two versions:
z. neutra deum.
differenz. deum.
Fig. 12.a
• TELURI000 with buttons marked in Italian;
• TELURE000 with buttons marked in English.
The infra-red remote control can command the call-up and display on the control module (see THE HUMIDIFIER CONTROLLER) of the humidifi er’s parameters, which, if necessary, can be modifi ed remotely.
Furthermore, the remote control simplifi es access to the main parameters, by pressing the corresponding marked buttons, avoiding the code search phase.
The remote control will operate at up to a distance of 3 metres, and can be used with all appliances in
the heaterSteam family.
In the event where there is more than one humidifi er within the remote control’s operating range, the
appliance to be operated can be determined by assigning each control module an individual access code
(parameter C2).
Acting on the value of parameter C1 (see Reading and programming the confi guration parameters)
allows the parameters that can be read or modifi ed using the remote control to be selected.
The standard value of C1 (default setting: C1=0) allows access to and modifi cation of type P and d
parameters and the set point only.
12.1 Description of the remote control
The buttons can be divided into three groups, according to their function.
Fig. 12.b
Fig. 12.c
12.1.1 Buttons for activating/deactivating the remote control
Allow the activation or deactivation of the remote control, saving the values associated with the parameters where necessary (see Fig. 12.b).

12.1.2 Buttons for modifying the main parameters (direct access buttons)
The more-frequently used parameters are indicated directly on the remote control, grouped into areas of
different colours according to the function. Each modifi able parameter has a button with the + sign and
one with the - sign to increase or decrease the value.
The buttons without + or - signs only allow the display of the associated value on the control module.
12.1.3 Buttons for the remote control of the control module keypad
The section highlighted in green/blue on the remote control (see Fig. 12.c) reproduces the buttons on
the instrument and allows the same operations to be performed remotely; see Reading and
programming the parameters of the type H or T control module.

12.2 Programming from the remote control
To activate or deactivate the access code to use the remote control, enter into the control module confi guration mode using password 77 (see Reading and programming the confi guration parameters).
Assigning parameter C2 a value other than 0 (from 01 to 99), activates this number as the access code
that must be entered each time the remote control is used to program that unit.
Obviously, in installations with more than one unit, it is recommended to use a different code for each
unit.
Setting parameter C2 back to 0 means the remote control can be used without requiring the access
code.
When not in programming phase, the SEL (limited to the display of the unit of measure), PRG (limited
to the function of alarm reset) and the display-only buttons are always active.
12.2.1 Enabling the control for receiving without requiring access code (C2= 0)
Exit the programming phase if necessary, press the START button to enable the remote control; the
humidifi er’s control module will show the code for the fi st accessible parameter.
12.2.2 Enabling the control for receiving with access code required (C20)
Exit the programming phase if necessary, press the START button to enable the remote control.
All the units located within the operating range of the remote control will display their own access code.
To access the programming/reading routine, use the numeric keypad (Fig. 12.b) to enter the access code
for the machine to be operated on. Any zeroes must be included (e.g..: if the display shows 05, press the
0 and then the 5 button).
If the code is correct, the fi rst accessible parameter is displayed.
12.2.3 Reading the measurements
To directly display one of the measurements featured, press the corresponding button (Fig. 12.d) twice.
12.2.4 Modifying the main parameters (with specifi c button)
With reference to Fig. 12.e:
• press either the + or - button corresponding to the parameter to be modifi ed; the display shows the
parameter code;
• press the SEL button again to display the value;
• then press the + or - button to increase or decrease the value.
The values in the memory of the control module will automatically be modifi ed on exiting the programming phase.

12.2.5 Modifying the main parameters (without specifi c button)
The parameters without a specifi c button can also be modifi ed, proceeding as follows:
• perform the operations for the enabling of the remote control;
• press the or button until the code of the required parameter is displayed;
• press the SEL button to display its value; then press or again to increase or decrease the value;
fi nally, press SEL to temporarily confi rm the new value;
• to modify other parameters, repeat the same operations.

13. SHUTTING DOWN THE UNIT
When shutting down the unit at the end of the season or for maintenance on the electrical parts and/or
plumbing, the humidifi er should be put out of operation.
The water should not be emptied from the cylinder before shutting down the humidifi er to avoid
the hardening of the deposits contained in the cylinder and thus making them more diffi cult to remove.
Follow the instructions below (safety procedure):
• open the disconnecting switch on the power line to the humidifi er;
• open the rocker switch in the lower right of the frame, (see Fig. 13.a) checking that the display on the
control module is off;
• close the shut-off tap for the water supply to the humidifi er.
If the cylinder needs to be emptied when shutting down to remove the deposits, before switching off
power to the unit, press the DRAIN rocker switch, thus forcing the drain pump electrovalve to open,
keeping it in this position manually until the water is completely emptied (see Fig. 13.b).
In the event of malfunctioning of the drain pump electrovalve/ drain pump, the cylinder can be emptied
manually, as following:
• humidifi ers up to 10kg/h (22 lbr/h): by removing the connection pipe from the level control
housing spigot and slowly draining the water into the collection base-tank of the humidifi er, whereas
• humidifi ers 20-27-40-60kg/h (44-59.5-88-132.2 lbr/h): by unscrewing the cap below the cylinder, (see
Fig.13.b).
The cylinder can also be emptied with the appliance closed, proceeding as follows on the control panel:
• turn the unit off using the rocker switch on the lower right of the frame (see Fig. 13.a);
• turn the unit on again;
• within 5 seconds from turning the unit on, press the and buttons together;
• after 2 seconds the drain pump electrovalve is activated until the buttons are released; when the
buttons are released, the command can be repeated within 5 seconds, otherwise the humidifi er will
need to be turned off and on again.

14. MAINTENANCE
14.1 Maintenance of the cylinder-cylinder
For correct operation, the steam production cylinder must be periodically cleaned, at intervals linked to
the quantity of salts or impurities dissolved in the supply water. This operation is necessary as the lime
deposits that form inhibit the exchange of heat between the elements and the water.
IMPORTANT WARNING: do not use detergents or solvents to clean the components in the cylinder and
all other plumbing.
The unit must be cleaned in any case when the element over-temperature alarm is activated (see ALARMS AND TROUBLESHOOTING), signalled by:
• the lighting up of LED 1 and 3, for the type C control module (see Fig. 15.a);
• the display of the message CL for the type H or T control module.
The cylinder may be hot! Let it cool before handling, or use protective gloves.
To access the cylinder:
• turn the appliance off (Fig. 13.1) and open the disconnecting switch on the power line (safety procedure);
• completely empty the water contained in the cylinder (see SHUTTING DOWN THE UNIT);
• open and remove the casing (see Removing and replacing the front casing).
The layout of the humidifi er is as in Fig. 14.a.

Fig. 14.aFig. 14.b
To remove and clean the cylinder, follow the procedure as described below:
1. remove the steam pipe from the upper pipe union of the cylinder (Fig. 14.c);
7. if present, remove the external thermal lining (Fig. 14.b, part. no. 4);
8. remove the use fl ange (see fi lter cleaning);
9. remove the cylinder making it run on the din rails;
10. place the cylinder on a working surface which is protected by a material resistant to the water and
lime-scale which will be released during the cleaning operations;
11. remove the plastic cover and its connected parts from the cylinder
Before handling the elements, ensure that they are not hot! Use protective gloves if necessary.
12. Remove the non-stick fi lm (optional), if present, from the internal wall of the cylinder, and eliminate
any lime deposits from this using a jet of water (see Replacing the components
13. for humidifi ers up to 10 kg/h /22 lbr/h unscrew the ring nut on the lower cylinder pipe union and
remove the bottom fi lter, which can be reused after cleaning any deposits; the gasket can be reused
or, if damaged, can be replaced and ordered as a spare part (Fig.17.a, part. no.13-14 o Fig.17.b, part
12- 13);
14. the elements can also be cleaned without removing them from the upper cover; to do this, after
having removed the fl aky portion of lime, immerse the heating elements in a warm 20% solution
of acetic acid for 30 minutes, removing the remaining surface deposits with a non-metallic spatula,
then rinse well; if the plates are Tefl on-coated, avoid using any type of metal tools so as to not
damage the non-stick layer;
15. if necessary, the elements can be removed by unscrewing the fastening nut which holds them to
the plastic cover; in this case the seal gasket should be replaced;
16. remove the deposits and rinse the internal walls of the cylinder and the probe wells.
Fig. 14.d
ENGLISH
Re-assemble the cylinder by repeating the above operations in the reverse order, remembering to
re-fasten the ground screw (Fig. 14.a e .b, part. no. 5). The procedure described above refers to the
three-phase version (see Fig. 17.b).
For the power connections follow: Electrical diagram of the heating element connection corresponding
to the heads.

15. ALARMS AND TROUBLESHOOTING
15.1 Alarm summary table
When an alarm is activated a message identifying the alarm is displayed on the control module.
In the case of potentially dangerous alarms, the control module automatically shuts the humidifi er down.
For some alarm events (see Table 15.a), the signalling of the alarm is accompanied by the activation of
an alarm relay, as described in: Other auxiliary contacts.
If the cause of the alarm is no longer valid, the humidifi er and alarm relay output can be reset automatically or manually, according to the type of problem, while the message displayed is deactivated manually
by pressing the reset-PRG button.
If no longer active, the alarm status continues to be indicated until the reset-PRG button is pressed.
Still active alarms can not be reset.
In the type C control module the presence of an alarm is indicated by the lighting up of LED 9 and
a combination of the LEDs 5 (Fig. 15.a); in the event of more than one alarm, these are indicated in
sequence, at 2 second intervals.

In the type H or T control module, if not in programming phase, in the presence of an alarm LED 9 (see
fi g. 15.b) begins fl ashing, while the display 5 indicates the alphanumeric alarm code.
The message is displayed cyclically, for a duration of two seconds, alternating with the measurement
normally displayed (if the measurement normally displayed corresponds to a disconnected probe, the
measurement is not displayed; this will automatically return to the display if the probe is reconnected).
In the event of more than one alarm, the display indicates all the corresponding codes in sequence, at
two second intervals.
The alarm Ec cannot be reset.
In the event of the alarm CL (regular maintenance required), the alarm can be reset only by resetting the
hour counter; see Resetting the hour counter.
The alarm E1 may appear in two distinct cases:
1. Malfunction when reading from the parameter memory (typically on start-up)
The default parameters are temporarily recalled, without being saved in the parameter memory (the
parameters can be accessed and the correct values restored).
In any case the default parameter recall procedure is recommended; see Recalling the default
parameters.
2. Malfunction when writing to the parameter memory (typically on pressing the PRG button)
Any modifi cations made will be cancelled; the parameters can be accessed, the values modifi ed and
save operation repeated.

17.a Maintenance of the other plumbing components
IMPORTANT WARNINGS: do not use detergents or solvents to clean the plastic components. To remove
the deposits use a 20% acetic acid solution, then rinse thoroughly with water.
• Fill electrovalve (Fig. 17.d, part. no. 3 - Fig. 17.e, part. no. 6)
After having disconnected the cables and the pipe, remove the electrovalve and check the state of the inlet
fi lter, cleaning it if necessary using water and a soft brush.
• Supply and drain manifold (Fig. 17.d, part. no. 6)
Check that there are no solid residues at the cylinder coupling; remove any impurities.
Check that the O-ring is not damaged or cracked; replace it if necessary.
• Drain electrovalve / drain pump (Fig. 17.d, part. no. 5 – Fig. 17.e, part. no.5)
Disconnect the power cables, remove the bobbin and remove the valve block after having unscrewed the
two fastening screws from the manifold; remove any impurities and rinse; as regards the pump it is suffi cient to screw the clamping screw and remove possible impurities;

17.2 Replacing the components
17.2.1 Non-stick fi lm
If requested as an option, the internal wall of the cylinder is lined with a non-stick fi lm to avoid lime
being deposited on the internal walls of the cylinder. To clean or replace the fi lm, remove the cylinder
following the procedure described in Maintenance of the cylinder-cylinder and then:
• slowly remove the fi lm towards the mouth of the cylinder, without forcing it to avoid damage;
• open the fi lm after having released the click-on couplings;
• clean the fi lm with water and a plastic spatula if necessary; replace the fi lm if damaged;
• wind the fi lm around itself, reinserting the click-on couplings, and place it into the cylinder after the
latter has been carefully cleaned and freed from deposits.
17.2.2 Elements
To replace the elements remove the cylinder following the procedure described in Maintenance of the
cylinder-cylinder and loosen the fastening nuts from the threaded spigots of the elements.
Before reassembling the elements, check the state of the gaskets and replace them if necessary.
17.2.3 PTC overtemperature sensor
The PTC sensors (one for each heating element) do not require regular maintenance; they should only
be replaced if the safety thermostat is activated due to operation without water: in fact, the intervention
of just one PTC will cause the control module to shut-down operation.
To replace the sensors, remove the cylinder following the procedure described in Maintenance of the
cylinder-cylinder and then:
• disconnect the PTC sensor terminals (see Fig.: 7.p.a to 7.p.n);
• remove the electrical elements corresponding to the sensors being replaced;
• unscrew the PTC sensor (fi g. 17.a, part. no. 7 or Fig. 17.b part. no. 7 or Fig. 17.c part. no. 2) using a
spanner on the hexagonal spigot, accessible from the under side of the cover;
• reassemble a new PTC sensor, replacing the o-ring and screwing it tight; reconnect the terminals;
• reposition the electric heating elements, making sure the PTC sensor enters into the corresponding
sheath in the aluminium casting.
17.2.4 NTC temperature sensor (version with type H or T control module only)
As for the PTC sensors, the NTC sensor controlling the water temperature does not require regular
maintenance.
To replace this sensor, remove the cylinder following the procedure described in Maintenance of the
cylinder-cylinder and then:
• disconnect the terminals of the NTC sensor (see Fig.: 7.p.a to 7.p.n);
• remove the sensor from the well housed in the measuring sheath (fi g. 17.a part. no. 2, or Fig. 17.b
part. no. 1, or Fig. 17.d part. no. 11);
• reposition and connect the new sensor in the place of the old one.

17.2.7 Solid state relays (version with type H or T control module only)
The solid-state relays (one in the single-phase unit, two in the three-phase unit) can malfunction in one
of two ways: by short-circuit or burn-out. The respective consequences for the supply of power are:
continuous conduction or permanent opening.
In the event of malfunctioning, check the conduction of the relay using a tester.
For the replacement of the solid-state relay:
• turn the humidifi er off;
• open the disconnection switch in the power line (safety procedure);
• disconnect the power and auxiliary cables from the solid-state relay terminal block;
• remove the relay from the electrical panel by using a screwdriver to lower the fastening lever to the
omega guide;
• replace the new relay on the omega guide and reconnect the wires as before.

17.2.8 Cooling fan and circuit breaker (version with type H or T control module only)
The SSR relays are cooled by a fan placed in the upper part, on the right side of the machine for the
20-60kg/h (44-132.2lbr/h) models, or placed on the base of the humidifi er for the models up to 10kg/h
(22lbr/h).
With insuffi cient ventilation the temperature of the electrical panel may rise excessively until, reaching
65°C, power to the solid-state relays is cut by a special Klixon (heat sensor, used in this application as
circuit breaker - hereafter: circuit breaker), with manual reset (indicated by S2 in the wiring diagram) and
without an activation signal. In this case, check:
• Whether the thermoprotective placed in the din rail near to the SSR relays has been working, or
placed in front of the baffl e pressing the reset button (see Fig. 17.f);
• that the fan power board, fi tted in front of the baffl e, is powered (input terminals: 24 Vac) and in turn
powers the fan (output terminals: 24 Vdc), (only for models up to).
If the fan is faulty:
- in the models up to 10 Kg/h (22 lbs/h):
• remove the baffl e, after having unscrewed the two side nuts for fastening to the partition of the
appliance;
In case of malfunction, the thermoprotective can be replaced unscrewing the fastening screws;
- in the 20-27-40-60 Kg/h
( 44.1-59.5-88.1-132.3 lbs/h ) models:
• unscrew the 4 fastening screws placed on the right side of the structural work and extract the fan
from the inside of the panel.
In case of malfunction, the thermoprotective can be replaced removing the polycarbonate transparent
protection of the solid state relays and unscrewing the fastening screws.
