Herrtronic® MDD Supplement
Installation, Operation, & Maintenance Manual
I. PREFACE
These instructions are designed to cover the specic differences in the installation of a Herrmidier Herrtronic MDD Electronic Steam
Humidier (110-250 lbs/hr. unit) versus an MDM or MDS Electronic Steam Humidier (5-100 lbs/hr. unit). These instructions are to
be used in conjunction with the Herrtronic MD Series Installation and Operations Manual (OM-93) as there are cross references
between that manual and this supplement. The primary intent of this supplement is to deal with the installation differences between
the MDD and the MDS or MDM. The operating, start-up and troubleshooting sections are common to all the MD’s and can be found
in the Herrtronic MD Series Installation and Operations Manual (OM-93). The one exception to this is the fact that you must turn
on both the master and the slave unit with their respective “On/Off” button.
II. UNIT OPERATION
All MDD units are operationally tested before shipment. They have been setup and run with the control signal and power supply spec-
ied on the purchase order. Any changes in power supply or control technique will cause the unit to require changes prior to start-up.
All MDD units have two steam cylinders, two ll assemblies, two drain assemblies, two sets of power contactors, two main circuit
boards and one display board. There are two knockouts for power wiring, a knockout for control wiring, one water inlet, two steam
cylinder drains, and two cabinet drains. The steam cylinder on the right is the master and the one on the left is the slave. Simply put,
the components for two independent steam boilers are housed in one cabinet.
As mentioned earlier, there are two main circuit boards, and one display board. The master and slave control board keypads are
accessible through the front panel. Communication between the Master and the Slave is accomplished through the networking
capability of the main circuit board (Page 15, MD IOM). The address of the master will always be 00 and the address of the slave
will always be 01. Each cylinder (Master or Slave) will ll, boil, and drain independently, based on the commands from their respective main circuit board. Establishing set points, operating the units, fault reporting and general monitoring of performance for both
Master & Slave is typically done from the master control keypad and display using menu 4 of the master control. When in menu 4 of
the Master, access the Slave and use the Master keypad to make any necessary changes to the Slave control board. (See step 13
Operating Instructions of MD Manual.)

V. STEAM DISTRIBUTION
Refer to Herrtronic MD IOM for detailed instructions. See Figure 3 on page 9 – Unit Dimensional Data for steam outlet locations.
VI. SUPPLY POWER
Power Block is supplied in the lower right hand side of the electrical compartment for eld connection of the main power supply legs
(always three phase) and a ground wire. Engineering Data: Steam Output / Electrical Characteristics
Refer to Herrtronic MD Installation, Operation, & Service manual for additional information.
VII. MDD CONTROL CIRCUIT CONNECTIONS
Dependent Control
This is the typical control circuit application for the MDD units. In this conguration, the MASTER and SLAVE equally share the total
output That is, for a 140 lbs/hr. MDD, the MASTER will produce 70 lbs/hr. and the SLAVE will also produce 70 lbs/hr. If the MDD
has the capability to modulate its output (MDDI or MDDP), the output of the MASTER and the SLAVE will remain equal throughout
the proportioning range.
The Dependent MDD requires one set of controls; a control input, a recommended limit input and air proving switch. See pages 10
and 11 of the MD IOM for proper placement of the control wires to the appropriate pole(s) on the master unit terminal strip.
Independent Control
In this conguration, the MASTER and the SLAVE may be rated for different output capacities. The data plate will reect the combined output and current draw. If the output capacities of the MASTER and SLAVE are different, the MASTER will always be the
larger of the two unless specied otherwise when ordering.
The Independent MDD requires two sets of controls; two control inputs along with the recommended individual limit inputs and air
proving switches. The MASTER and SLAVE input connections will be made on their respective terminal strips (Figure 7). Refer to
the Control Circuit Connections section of the MD IOM (pages 10 and 11) for proper terminal connections for your particular type of
controls. The units will operate independently of one another, with the circuit boards responding to their individual inputs.

VIII. FACTORY WIRING BETWEEN THE MASTER AND SLAVE CONTROLS
Dependent Controls: Factory Wiring Included the Following:
1. Jumpers between Master terminal strip, terminals 11 & 12 to the Slave terminal strip, terminals 11 & 12. This wiring allows communication from the Master to the Slave via the Master Keypad, utilizing the communication functions of Menu 4 in the Master
menu.
2. Jumpers between Master terminal strip, terminal 2 to the Slave terminal strip, terminal 2. This wiring allows the use of an optional
air ow switch wired to the Slave terminal strip. This wire would negate the use of second air ow switch.
3. For Proportional and Proportional/Integral Control Units Only (See MDD wiring diagram). Wiring from the Master Molex connector J1, terminals 1 & 2 to the Slave terminal strip, terminals 4 & 5. This wiring passes the humidity sensor or BMS control input
that has been received by the Master to the Slave control board. This allows the Slave to “share” the control input with the Master
and operate in parallel with the Master.
4. For On/Off Control Units Only (See MDD wiring diagram). Wiring from Master terminal strip, terminal 5 to the Slave terminal
strip, terminal 5. This wiring passes the On/Off control signal that has been received by the Master to the Slave control board.
Independent Control: Factory Wiring Includes the Following:
1. Jumpers between Master terminal strip, terminals 11 & 12 to the Salve terminal strip, terminals 11 & 12. This wiring allows
communication from the Master to the Slave via the Master keypad, utilizing the communication functions of Menu 4 in the
Master menu.
IX. TURNING THE MASTER AND SLAVE “ON” AFTER SERVICING THE UNIT
During servicing, the Master and Slave cabinet access doors are typically removed to gain access to the unit. Both of these cabinets have a door interlock switch for safety purposes. Whether the door interlock switches are taped closed or jumped-out during
service, when the tape/jumpers are removed from the interlock switches, and the cabinet access doors are re-installed following
maintenance, BOTH THE MASTER AND SLAVE MUST BE TURNED “ON” at the keypad to put the unit back in service. Both the
Master and Slave must be in the Menu 1 default menu for “on/off” button to work. If only the Master is turned ON, the Slave cabinet
will remain inoperative.
Prevent the unit from operating at only 50% capacity by ensuring that BOTH THE MASTER AND SLAVE ARE
TURNED “ON” after servicing the equipment.
Options for Turning ON/OFF Slave:
1. Use “Slave” On/Off button
2. Use “Master” Keypad to address “Slave” via communications. (Menu #4)
