14. Operating procedures

14.1 Check

Before switching on the humidifier, the following respects must be checked:

Whether the power leads, working ground wires and protective wires are connected properly and firmly in
accordance with the requirements
Connection of sensors and control signals
The steam outlet must be free of obstruction
Water feed connection of the humidifier
Water drain connection of the humidifier
Whether the electric cabinet matches the humidifier

14.2 Switching on the humidifier

Open the electric cabinet and pull the trigger of air switch to the position of ON;
Press the power switch on the control cabinet. The switch indicator goes on, indicating the power has been
put through
CAUTION: to prevent dry burning of heating elements, please do confirm the water line has been
supplied with water and opened before switching on the power switch.

14.3 Humidity setting

Type N: a passive relay type switch signal ON/OFF is sent to the humidifier from the automatic control
system. The humidifier may work or stop as per the signal;
Type K: a 0~10V/4~20mA continuous regulating signal is sent to the humidifier from the automatic
control system; the humidifier may automatically regulate the steam output (i.e. humidifying
capacity) as per the changes of signal. Attention is required that such signal must be the control
signal from the automatic control system but not the humidity signal from the humidity sensor.
14.4 Indicators
After connecting above parts and feeding the water via feed valve for a period of time, the float switch
controlling the level is connected; at this time you may hear pa sent by the main contactor in the electric
cabinet and the cabinet is put through. The working indicators on the control cabinet go on; the electric heating
elements make the power supply put through, and the humidifier starts heating. In several minutes, you may
find steam ejecting from the steam outlet or the steam distributor.
