Condair EL - Maintenance Intervals and Procedures

52 Maintenance
6.2 Maintenance intervals
To maintain operational safety the Condair EL steam humidier must be maintained at regular intervals.
This is differentiated between the regular replacement/cleaning of the steam cylinder and the peri-
odic maintenance of the steam humidier.
– Replacement of the disposable steam cylinder/Cleaning of the cleanable steam cylinder
The control software of the Condair EL monitors the performance of the steam cylinder and indicates
when replacement/cleaning of the steam cylinder is required. The steam cylinder status is set to
initial state at the initial commissioning and any time the steam cylinder is reset via the cylinder reset
function the "Service" submenu.
The "Cylinder Spent" message in the standard operating display indicates
that the steam cylinder must be replaced (disposable steam cylinder)
or cleaned (cleanable steam cylinder). If the maintenance is not carried
out and the cylinder status is not reset within 7 days after the "Cylinder
Spent" message has appeared a fault message is triggered and the steam
humidier will be stopped.
Replace/clean the steam cylinder, then reset the cylinder status to initial state with the cylinder reset
function in the "Service" submenu.
Note: For the replacement/cleaning of the steam cylinder, corresponding maintenance kits are
available with all components to be replaced with the corresponding steam cylinder maintenance.
– Periodic maintenance
The periodic maintenance is to be carried out at least once a year. If on this occasion strong con-
tamination is detected, the interval time for the periodic maintenance must be shortened accordingly.
Below you will nd a summary of the work to be carried out at the periodic maintenance.
