Installation, Operation & Maintenance Manual

IMPORTANT

BEFORE INSTALLING OR HANDLING THE HUMIDIFIER PLEASE CAREFULLY READ AND FOLLOW THE
INSTRUCTIONS AND SAFETY STANDARDS DESCRIBED IN THIS MANUAL AND ILLUSTRATED ON THE
LABELS ATTACHED TO THE MACHINE.

This humidifier produces non-pressurized steam by means of electrodes immersed in the water contained in the

cylinder-boiler (hereafter called the cylinder). The electrodes pass current through the water, which also provides
resistance, heating the water into steam, which is used to humidify environments or industrial processes, using
special distributors.

The quality of the water used affects the process of evaporation, so the humidifier may be supplied with untreated
water, as long as this is drinkable and not softened or demineralized; the evaporated water is automatically
replaced using a fill valve. This humidifier has been designed exclusively to directly humidify rooms or ducts, using
a distribution system. The installation, use and maintenance operations must be carried out according to the
instructions contained in this manual and on the labels applied internally and externally.

The conditions of the environment and the power supply voltage must comply with the specified values.

All other uses and modifications made to the humidifier that are not authorized by the manufacturer are
considered incorrect.

Liability for injury or damage caused by the incorrect use of the humidifier lies exclusively with the user.

Please note that the humidifier contains powered electrical devices and hot surfaces.

All service and/or maintenance operations must be performed by specialist and qualified personnel who
are aware of the necessary precautions and are capable of performing the operations correctly.

Disconnect the humidifier from the main power supply before accessing any internal parts.

The humidifier must be installed in accordance with the local standards in force.

The local safety standards in force must be applied in all cases.

The humidifier is made up of metallic and plastic parts. All parts must be disposed of according to the
local standards on waste disposal.

Warranty on materials: 2 years (from the date of installation, excluding the consumable parts, such as the cylinder

How The STEAMaster+ Works

STEAMaster+ is an electrode humidifier. It produces steam for humidification by passing electrode
current through the water in the steam generator cylinder between metal electrodes. There are no
heater elements. Steam output is directly proportional to the conductivity of the water, and the amount
of electrode immersed in the water.

On a call for humidity, the STEAMaster+ controller will open the water fill valve (1) and allow water to enter the system. A
flow restrictor (2) prevents the unit from filling too quickly or with too much pressure. The water flows up the fill tube (3)
and into the fill cup (7), where it flows over the conductivity probes (6), which feed the water conductivity back to the
controller for analysis. Water then flows over the dam in the fill cup (7), which creates a 1" air gap to prevent backflow of
contaminated water into the feed lines, and through the fill tube (4) and into the bottom of the steam cylinder (11).

As the water fills the cylinder, it will reach the electrodes (10) and current will begin to flow. As the water continues to fill
the cylinder, the current will increase, and this is monitored by an amperage transformer placed on one of the power wires
(9). When the desired current is reached, the fill valve will close (1) and the water will then begin to warm and produce
steam. If the water reaches the cylinder full probes (8) prior to reaching the desired current level, the fill valve (1) will be
closed to prevent overflow. If the current rises too much as the water fills the cylinder, the drain valve or pump (13) will be
activated to drain away some water and reduce the current flow.

Periodically, based on the incoming water conductivity, the unit will drain some water to reduce the mineral concentration.
A strainer (12) in the cylinder helps to prevent mineral debris from jamming the drain valve (13).

If there is no water in the cylinder, there will be no current flow and no steam production. The electrodes do not burn out,
but they will eventually become comletely coated with mineral and the cylinder will then need to be replaced or cleaned.

Installation

Positioning

The STEAMaster+ has been designed for wall mounting
(although it can be placed on a stand) and, since it is an
atmospheric steam humidifier, should be placed close to
the point where the steam will be used, to minimize the
steam hose length (and condensate). Certain clearances

must be maintained around the unit:

Steam distribution

Duct injection

If your STEAMaster+ humidifier was supplied with duct steam
distributor pipes, they must be mounted completely level in the
duct with the steam outlet holes facing up as shown to the right.
Support the end of longer distributor pipes if needed.

Distributor pipes should be mounted per the diagrams shown
below, with a minimum of 6" from the center of the distributor
pipe to the top of the duct and 3" minimum to the bottom.

STEAMaster+ SERIES

Generally the distribu­tor pipes should be
mounted in the center
of the air stream.
Multiple pipes need to
be staggered on a
diagonal to prevent
the steam discharge
from the lower pipes
from impinging on the
upper ones.

In vertical ducts, the distributor pipes are mounted in the center
with the holes facing up as shown at right. The airflow may be up or
down, but when the airflow is down, maximum velocity is 1,500
fpm.

To install the distributor pipes:

1. Cut a key shaped hole in the side of the duct to match the steam pipe and
condensate return.

2. Apply silicone sealant to the mounting plate and insert the pipe through the
hole and secure it with 4 sheet metal screws.

3. Connect the steam and condensate hoses using the hose clamps supplied.

IMPORTANT: Allow 2 feet of straight duct downstream of the distributor pipes when the air temperature will be
>55oF. Allow 3 feet of straight duct if the air temperature will be <50oF. Always allow 2 feet upstream. Turbulent
air flow may require longer lengths.

Steam Hoses

NINETY PERCENT (90%) OF ALL OPERATION PROBLEMS ARE CREATED BY IMPROPER STEAM PIPING
FROM THE HUMIDIFIER UNIT TO THE DUCT DISTRIBUTOR PIPES.

To avoid these problems, remember one simple fact when running the steam hose: steam naturally flows up
hill, and condensate naturally flows down hill.

Nothing must impede the free flow of either steam to the distributor pipes or condensate back to the SD unit or
the drain. If Copper tubing is used, use two 45° angles or sweeping elbows rather than sharp 90° elbows.

Follow one simple rule: Run the steam hose or piping to avoid any kinks, sharp elbows, or low spots that could
collect or restrict the flow of steam to the distributor pipe, or the flow of condensate back to the humidifier.
Support the hose adequately to avoid sags.

The following diagrams are to provide you with some guidelines. If you have a situation you are unsure of,
please contact the factory for instructions.

IMPORTANT: Maximum length of rubber steam hose is 20 feet. Insulated copper tubing may be up to 40
feet. Hose sizes= 7/8" I.D. for units SMP001-003, 1 1/4" I.D. for units SMP005-015, 1-5/8" I.D. for units

SMP025-065.

Installation, Operation & Maintenance Manual

Control wiring

The STEAMaster+ control system allows up to two sensors to
be connected, as well as various safety devices, remote on/off,
alarm and serial communications.

Generally, the control sensor or humidistat (HT) is located in the
room or return air duct. In the case where the STEAMaster+
uses a direct discharge blower unit, this is the only control
needed. In ducts or air handlers, a high limit humidistat or
sensor is usually added to act as a safety (CR), as well as an
air flow proving device. The remote terminal HumiVisor (MT)
may be added.

Remote Supervisor / Serial
Communications:

This is a standard RS485
serial connection. It is

STEAMaster + SERIES

recommended to keep wiring under 3,200
feet. Request SATS’s communications
documentation for additional information
on this option.

Control wiring is made directly to the
control board terminals:

1. terminal block G (dehumidification
contact);

2. terminal block H (alarm contact);

3. terminal block K (on/off, manual drain

switch);

4. terminal block I (control signals);

5. terminal block J (to remote terminal or

supervisory system);

6. dip-switch for selecting TA RATE.

For On/Off Operation:

Connect any simple humidistat, high-limits, air flow
switch, and remote contacts in series from terminals
7I to 8I.

Circuits must be completed from 4I to 5I by a jumper
and from 7I to 8I for the unit to operate. Use
jumpers if devices are not connected.

Parameter A0 must be set to 0.

15

(06/06)

For Modulating Operation with External Controller:

Connect any external controller (0-1 Vdc, 0-10 Vdc
Parameter A0 must be set to 1.
Parameter A2 must be set per the OUT signal from the
regulator:

• voltage: 0 to 1 Vdc; 0 to 10 Vdc; 2 to 10 Vdc;

• current: 0 to 20 mA; 4 to 20 mA.

PC-301 Air Proving Switch

Mounting the PC-301 air flow switch:

Mount the airflow switch in the supply or return duct using the
screws supplied. Mount the device so that the diaphragm is in a
vertical position as shown at right.

If the airflow switch is to be mounted on the return duct (vacuum),
then mount it in a vertical position by the small plate. Drill a 7/16"
hole in the side of the duct and connect the supplied tubing to
the low pressure tap on the airflow switch and then run it through
the drilled hole in the duct. Put no more than 2" of tubing into the
duct. Caulk around the tubing where it enters the duct. The high
pressure tap is left open to atmosphere.

If the airflow switch is to be mounted to the supply duct (pres­sure), then simply drill a 7/16 hole in the side of the duct, apply caulking to the large plate, and mount the device
with the large plate to the duct and the high pressure tap/tubing mated the hole. The low pressure tap is left open
to atmosphere.

Installation, Operation & Maintenance Manual

Start-Up

IMPORTANT WARNINGS:

1. Before starting, check that the humidifier is in perfect condition, that there are no water leaks and that the
electrical parts are dry;

2. Do not connect power if the humidifier is damaged or even partially wet!

When installation is completed, flush the supply pipe for around 30 minutes by piping water directly into
the drain, without sending it into the humidifier; this will eliminate any scale or residues that may cause foam

when boiling.

NOTE: For humidifiers with control H only, the same function can be performed automatically after starting the
appliance.

Startup Checklist

Before starting the humidifier, the following should be checked:

_____ Water is connected, the line has been flushed, and external valves are open.

_____ Drain is connected, run to an open drain, and has a trap under the unit.

_____ Electricity is connected in accordance with instructions, local codes and data labels in the unit.

_____ The power fuses are installed and intact.

_____ All control wiring is done and tested.

_____ Airflow switch is wired to open on air flow loss.

_____ Hi-limit humidistat is wired to open on humidity rise above set point.

_____ Unit wires have been checked to make sure they and all connectors are tight from shipping.

_____ The steam hose(s) are run correctly with no sags or kinks and sloped properly according to the manual.

_____ Condensate hoses are run correctly with no sags or kinks and sloped properly according to the manual.

NOTE: If you ordered a factory startup, this checklist will be required. Failure to complete this checklist may
result in additional charges.

Start-up Procedure

After closing the external fused disconnect to put power to the humidifier, press the top (I) part
of the I/O switch on the side of the unit

Initially, all LEDs light - this lasts about 1-2 seconds.

Then the initialization phase begins with 3 dashes. During this phase
diagnostics are conducted. This phase lasts about 4 seconds.

After running the diagnostics, the unit will start operation and display either
the % of steam production (On/off and Modulating modes), the %RH
(Stand-Alone Modulating mode), or two dashes will light, indicating the
humidifier is disabled or in alarm. The alarm code will flash.

Starting with a new cylinder

When starting with a new cylinder, you should activate the cylinder cleaning function by pressing the SEL and
buttons simultaneously for 2 seconds after the initialization phase. This forces the unit to open both the drain and
fill valves for 10 minutes to flush the lines, then fills and drains the cylinder 3 times to wash out any mold release or
dirt. Once started, this function can be stopped by pressing the SEL and
again.

When starting the unit with a new or empty cylinder, it may take a significant amount of time (hours) for
the unit to build up enough mineral concentration to reach rated capacity. This time can be shortened
by the addition of Alka-Seltzer or salt (teaspoon) through the steam outlet on top of the cylinder.

b1, setting 2: Drain under power

If parameter b1 includes setting 2, the humidifier will continue to produce steam during drain cycles. If this setting
is turned off, the humidifier will open the power contactor during drain cycles.

b1, setting 4: Draining due to a significant reduction in the demand

If parameter b1 includes setting 4, then the humidifier will not drain if the demand for humidification decreases.
This helps to conserve conductivity and is useful in low conductivity waters. If b1, setting 4 is off, then the
humidifier will drain to reduce the output if the demand is reduced by 33%.

b1, setting 8: Automatic draining of the cylinder after period of non-use

If parameter b1 includes setting 8, parameter “bF” may be used to cause the humidifier to empty the steam cylinder
if there has been no demand for humidification for an extended period of time. This helps prevent premature
corrosion of the electrodes and/or contamination of the water in the cylinder. The default setting is for 3 days. The
unit will display “idr” when this drain function occurs.

b1, setting 64: Complete periodic draining

If parameter b1 includes setting 64, then parameter “bE” can be used to set the hours between total drains of the
cylinder. This is useful if the water contains impurities that can cause erratic behavior.

Installation, Operation & Maintenance Manual

Seasonal Shut Down

During seasonal shut-down or alternatively shut-down for maintenance of the electrical parts and/or the plumb­ing, the humidifier should be placed out-of-service.

NOTE: the water cylinder should be emptied before shutting down the humidifier, to prevent corrosion
of the electrodes.

Follow these instructions:

• Press and hold the manual drain switch until the

steam cylinder is empty, or use the Manual Drain
procedure listed under “Activating Manual Drain”;

• Turn off the On/Off (I/O) rocker switch on the side of

the humidifier, and disconnect power from the humidi­fier;

• Shut off the water to the humidifier.

In the event of malfunction of the drain valve, the
cylinder can be emptied manually by lifting it out of the
drain manifold and pouring the water into the bottom
drain pan. For SMP026 and larger humidifiers, use the
manual drain device on the manifold, pulling the
manual drain tab until it releases (see sketch at right).

The Remote Control

A hand-held infra-red remote control is available for the STEAMaster+. This device
permits programming the humidifier(s) from across the room and also makes available
buttons with specific functions.

NOTE: To use the remote control, parameter C2 must be set on each humidifier to give
it an access code so that the remote control can address it. If all humidifiers in range of
the remote control have the same access code, then they will respond simultaneously
to commands from the remote control. Setting C2 to 0 on the humidifier will allow the
remote control to be used without the need of a code.

To use the remote control, aim it at the humidifier and press ENABLE. All the
humidifiers in range will display their activation codes. If a humidifier has its C2
parameter set to 0, it will skip this step and display the first parameter.

To program a humidifier, enter its access code into the remote control. If successful,
the humidifier will display the first parameter.

To program main parameters, simply press the + or - button on the remote control of the
parameter you want to modify and the humidifier will display that parameter code.
Press the SEL button on the remote control and the value will be displayed. Modify the
value by using the
are saved when you exit the programming phase.

To program other parameters, press any + or - button on a parameter, then use the SEL and
remote control in the same way as the buttons on the front of the humidifier controller.

detergents, water treatment
agents, softeners) or an
excessive concentration of
dissolved salts:

1. Drain the water supply lines

2. Clean the cylinder

3. Check for the presence of
softeners (in this case, use
another type of water or
reduce the softening)

Check the drain circuits and
the correct operation of the

2. Check the duct static pressure.

3. Check the fill valve and inlet
strainer.

4. Check the drain valve operation.

5. Correct installation problems
and replace cylinder.

1. Contact the factory for an
optional drain timer to force
additional drains to control the
minerals.

2. If you are using a softener,
check the salt being used. If it
contains any additives, discontinue
use, flush all lines and convert to
pure salt or unsoftened water.

3. Check the electrodes in the
cylinder to be sure they were not
damaged in shipping.

1. Clean or replace the cylinder.

2. Check the steam hoses for kinks
or gullys that might be trapping
condensate.

3. Replace the fill valve.

4. Consider using a mix of
demineralized water with raw

5. Check cylinder - replace if
exhausted. If feed water contains
silica or nitrates, install a 1 micron
water filter.

Resetting Factory Defaults

If errors have occurred when setting the parameters, the
controller may be reset to the factory default values:

• in the first 5 seconds from start-up (while the three

dashes are displayed), press the PRG button (2) until
the upper dash in the center flashes (1);

• release the PRG button within 3 seconds to confirm

the permanent reset of the factory defaults; to confirm
the reset, the upper dash will stay on for 2 seconds;

• the factory reset is not carried out 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), and 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.

Installation, Operation & Maintenance Manual

Maintenance

Periodic checks

• After one hour of operation: For both disposable and cleanable cylinders, check that there are no

significant water leaks.

• Every fifteen days or no more than 300 operating hours: For both disposable and openable cylinders

check operation, that there are no significant water leaks and the general condition of the cylinder. Check
that during operation there is no arcing between the electrodes.

• Every three months or no more than 1000 operating hours: For disposable cylinders, check operation,

that there are no significant water leaks and, if necessary, replace the cylinder; for cleanable cylinders,
check that there are no blackened parts of the cylinder. If there are blackened parts of the cylinder, check
the condition of the electrodes, and if necessary replace them together with the o-rings and the cover
gasket.

• Annually or no more than 2500 operating hours: For disposable cylinders, replace the cylinder; for

cleanable cylinders check operation, that there are no significant water leaks, the general conditions of the
cylinder, check that there are no blackened parts of the cylinder: if this is the case, check the condition of
the electrodes, and if necessary replace them together with the o-rings and the cover gasket.

• After five years or no more than 10,000 operating hours: For both disposable and openable cylinders,

replace the cylinder. After extended use or alternatively when using water with a high salt content, the solid
deposits that naturally form on the electrodes may reach the stage where they also stick to the inside wall
of the cylinder; in the event of especially conductive deposits, the consequent heat produced may overheat
the plastic and melt it, and, in more severe cases, puncture the cylinder, allowing water to leak out. As a
precaution, check the deposits and the blackening of the wall of the cylinder, and replace the cylinder if
necessary.

CAUTION: always disconnect the main power before touching the cylinder in the event of leaks, as current may flow
through the water.

Cylinder maintenance

The life of the cylinder depends on a number of factors, including: the amount and type of mineral in the water, the
correct use and sizing of the humidifier, and the output, as well as careful and regular maintenance. Due to the aging
of the plastic and the consumption of the electrodes, even an openable steam cylinder has a limited life, and it is
therefore recommended to replace it after 5 years or 10,000 operating hours.

Important warnings

The humidifier and its cylinder contain live electrical components and hot surfaces, and therefore all service and/or
maintenance operations must be performed by expert and qualified personnel, who are aware of the necessary
precautions. Before performing any operations on the cylinder, check that the humidifier is disconnected from the
power supply. Remove the cylinder from the humidifier only after having drained it completely using the manual drain
button or procedure. Check that the model and the power supply voltage of the new cylinder correspond to the data
on the rating label.

Replacing the cylinder
IMPORTANT WARNING: the cylinder may be hot. Allow it to cool before touching it or use protective gloves.

To replace the cylinder:

• completely drain the cylinder by pressing and holding the manual drain switch or by pressing the

buttons simultaneously for 2 seconds to force a manual drain. This procedure can be stopped at any time
by again pressing the

ÇÇ

Ç and

ÇÇ

• turn the humidifier off and disconnect the main power;

• open and remove the cover;

• remove the steam hose from the cylinder;

• disconnect the electrical connections from the top of the cylinder;

• release the cylinder from its holding bracket and lift it up to remove it;

• install the new cylinder in the humidifier by performing the previous operations in reverse.

WARNING: Electrical connections to the cylinder must be tight or possible fire hazard may result.
