6.2 Commissioning
Proceedasfollowswhenputtingtheunitintooperation:
1. Examinethesteamhumidierandinstallationforpossibledamage.
DANGER!
Damageddevicesordeviceswithdamagedinstallationmaypresentdangertohumanlifeor
cause severe damage to material assets.
Damaged units and/or units with damaged or faulty installation must not be operated.
2. Checkwhetherthefrontpanelismountedandxedwiththetwoscrews.
3. Opentheshut-offvalveinthewatersupplyline.
4. Verifythesethumidityvalueatthehumiditycontrolleroratthehumidistat,andreadjustasre-
quired.
5. Switch on the service switchesformainssupplies(heatingandcontrolvoltage).
6. Actuate the unit switchofthesteamhumidier.
Thesteamhumidiercarriesoutasystem test,duringwhichalltheLEDslightup.
If,afterthesystemtest:
– the yellow LED lights permanently,thesteamcylindermaintenanceisdue(seechapter7)or
themaintenanceindicationhasnot
been
reset(seechapter7.6).
– the red LED lights permanently,afatalmalfunctionhasoccurred(seechapter8).
Afterthesystemtesttheunitisinnormaloperationmode.
Assoon as the humidity controller orthe humidistat requires humidity, power is switched on for
heating.Theinletvalveopens(slightdelay)andthesteamcylinderllswithwater.Assoonasthe
submergedelectrodesheatthewaterupthegreenLEDlightsupandafterafewminutes(approx.
5–10minutes,dependingontheconductivityofthewater)steamisproduced.
Note:IftheCondairEL2isoperatedwithwateroflowconductivityitmayhappen
thatthe
maximum
steamcapacityisnotreachedintherstfewhoursofoperation.Thisisnormal.Assoonasthe
conductivityhasreachedasufcientlevel(duetothevaporisationprocess)thehumidierwillreach
the maximum steam capacity.
