SECTION I WARRANTY
Warranty
1. TRION/HERRMIDIFIER warrants to the buyer or
any user during the duration of the Warranty that the
humidier described in this manual will be free from
defects of material and workmanship for a period of two
(2) years from the date of shipment.
2. For this Warranty to be effective, this humidier must
be installed, operated and maintained in accordance
with the Installation Instructions, Operations and
Maintenance Manual(s) supplied with the humidier.
3. In the event of a defect or malfunction in this product during
the Warranty Period, user may contact the Customer
Service Department or their TRION/HERRMIDIFIER
Representative for a Customer Relations Management
(CRM) number. Items tagged (on the outside of the
box) with this number may be returned to TRION/
HERRMIDIFIER for replacement. Incidental expenses
such as cost of transporting the humidier to TRION/
HERRMIDIFIER or labor associated with removal/
replacement of the parts shall be paid by the user. Upon
completion of the reconditioning, the humidier will be
returned at no cost to the user. Items returned without a
CRM number will not be accepted!
4. Every 6000 series steam generating humidier contains
a plastic steam generating cylinder which is to be
considered a routinely disposable part to be changed
at regular maintenance intervals at the user’s expense.
This steam generating cylinder is not covered by this
Warranty. If, after the installation of your 6000 humidier,
you feel the steam generating cylinder is not operating
normally, you should contact TRION/HERRMIDIFIER
with an explanation of the problem. However, in the
continuing operation of the humidier, replacements
of this part are your responsibility as part of routine
maintenance.
5. This Warranty does not cover eld labor for
repairs to this humidier or any special, indirect or
consequential damages. Some states do not allow
the exclusion or limitation of incidental or consequential
damages, so the above limitation may not apply to you.
6. If, after a reasonable number of attempts to do so,
TRION/HERRMIDIFIER is unable to remedy any
defects or malfunctions in this humidier, then the user
may elect either a replacement of such product or part
which may be defective without charge or a refund of the
buyer’s original purchase price.
7. This Warranty gives you specic legal rights, and you
may also have other rights which vary from state to
state.
NOTE
Water quality plays a vital role in the performance and
maintenance requirement of any humidier. Adjust-
ments to the circuit board may be necessary based on
the incoming water quality. See pages: 11-14.
Performance problems associated with water quality
are not warranty issues!

SECTION II UNIT OPERATION
Water Level
Output
Basic Operation
Installation, Operation, & Maintenance Manual
Controlled humidication requires a very precise control
system. The 6000 utilizes a solid state control to monitor
performance and maintain humidity. The humidier evaluates
the operation and alerts the operator to problem conditions
and prevents undesirable operation.
On initial start-up or a call for humidity, the humidier will
attempt to ll to its full load amp rating. The unit will not
necessarily have a full cylinder of water. Water level depends
on the conductivity of the water. The more conductive the
water, the more current that can be passed through the same
volume of water.
If the water is not conductive enough to allow the unit
to reach full load amps (full capacity) on the initial ll, the
cylinder full light will indicate a full cylinder condition. The
unit will operate in this mode with repetitive ll and boil cycles
until the unit has concentrated enough minerals in the water
to reach the rated amp level.
Once full load amp (FLA) has been reached, the ll valve will
shut off. The unit will now compare the rate of change of amp
draw to a time cycle.
If the water in the cylinder is mineral laden and hence very
conductive, a drain cycle will be initiated.
After the drain cycle and/or the time cycle is completed, the
unit will rell and start the process over.
These cycles will repeat until:
•The call for humidity is satised.
•The cylinder is used up.
•A fault condition occurs.
On initial start-up, if the water is not conductive enough for
the unit to reach FLA, the water will stop lling when the
water reaches the cylinder full electrode. Once the unit has
entered a cylinder full condition it will operate with ll and
boil cycles only. By eliminating the drain cycle, the water
conductivity will be increased by producing pure steam and
leaving the minerals behind. The increased mineral levels
will raise the conductivity allowing the humidier to draw
sufcient amperage to achieve FLA. Normal operation will
then commence.
As the electrodes in the cylinder are coated with minerals,
the water level will slowly increase to the cylinder full level.
Concentration of coating on electrodes will no longer allow
the unit to reach FLA. After a period of time, the unit will
display the red “Service” light indicating the need to change
the cylinder.

Engineering and Application
The Herrtronic 6000 Series Steam Humidiers can be applied in
a variety of applications. The simplest application is to utilize the
model with the built-in blower package. The steam generated by
the unit is distributed into the conditioned space by the built-in
blower package (Figure 1).

SECTION III INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
Mounting
The cabinet is designed to safely contain the working components
of the Herrtronic 6000 series humidier and dissipate heat to
protect the electronics. Locate humidier in a manner to allow
routine inspection and any necessary maintenance. DO NOT
install the unit above false ceilings or around valuable property,
where a malfunction could cause damage. Correct positioning of
the humidier is important to allow for proper operation and easy
maintenance. Minimum clearance around the cabinet should be
maintained as follows:
Minimum Clearances
Around Cabinet
Left 6”
Right 12”
Top 18”
Bottom 12”
Remove foam packing from top of cylinder. Four lag bolts, (2)
5/16” and (2) 1/4”, are supplied with the 6000 unit. Install the
top two lag bolts (5/16”) according to the dimensions in Figure
2. Hang the unit on the wall, and then install the bottom two lag
bolts (1/4”) and secure all four bolts. Be sure the unit is level and
mounted directly to the wall to wood studs at least 2” thick (or
equivalent). Operating weight: 35 lbs.
