Description of
the system
To obtain steam production higher than that provided by one single unit, several humidifiers can be
connected together in a Master/Slave system.
A maximum of 19 Slave units can be connected to each Master, meaning a total of 20 humidifiers.
The Master and Slave units are connected using a local Ethernet network, and in the case of just two units
(one Master and Slave) involves a direct connection between the two controllers via Ethernet RJ45
Category 5 cable.

If the Master/Slave system comprises three or more units, a network switch is required.

The Ethernet port is available on the humidifier’s c.pHC controller:

Note: use CAT-5 STP Ethernet cable with a maximum length of 100 m. To connect the shield, use the
earth connector provided on the controller.
