8. WATER CONNECTIONS AND FLUSHING CYCLE
Water supply
The humidier has an integrated ow-reduction valve and can handle a water pressure
from a minimum of 1 bar to a maximum of 6 bar. The water level in the humidier is
controlled by a pressure sensor and a solenoid valve.
The HU-15OG is provided with protection. This protection starts to work when the water
supply is closed off or does not work. The water valve is then closed to prevent damage
to the water valve. It can take up to 2 minutes before the appliance lls with water again
after the water supply has been restored.
Demineralised (R.O.) water must be used for the humidier and will provide adequate
protection against bacteria. The use of plain tap water will lead to faster contamination
of the water tank and transducerss, which will result in a shorter service life. Moreover,
the dissolved calcium and mineral particles in ordinary tap water will be blown into the
area to be humidied together with the fog droplets and will be precipitated in the area.
Depending on the hardness of the water, this could cause a layer of dust after only a
few days (see also the warning on page 4).
Water discharge
Connect a hose with a maximum length of 50 cm and a minimum diameter of 1/2” to
the humidier’s water discharge connection point so that any excess water can be
discharged from the humidier. The outlet of this hose or pipe must be free; the end
may not be hanging in the water (see Figure 2). The water discharge from the
humidier is unpressurised.
Flushing
The standard factory setting for the ushing cycle is once every hour. This may not be
suitable for some applications. In these cases, the ushing cycle can be modied.
(See the menu overview on pages 16-17).
IMPORTANT
Thoroughly ush out the piping before connecting the humidier in order to
prevent installation debris from blocking the intake valve.
IMPORTANT
The water discharge connection point on the humidier must constitute the
highest point on the water discharge channel. The water discharge is not
pressurised. A blocked outlet could damage the humidier.
A blocked water discharge channel could cause the humidier to overow.
For this reason, never place the humidier on a tray with raised edges as this
could cause damage to the humidier for which the manufacturer cannot be
held liable.
