VERSION 6 INSTALLATION AND OPERATION MANUAL
Multiple-tank operation
Important:
All multi-tank communication must go
through the master controller to reach slave
tanks. Therefore, the touchscreen display
communication requires that power is supplied
to:
• The master controller (on Tank A)
• Any other tank that is hosting the display
WIRING A MULTI-TANK GROUP OF HUMIDIFIERS
To wire a multi-tank group of humidifiers:
1. Determine which control board is the master controller. The master
controller ships with the touchscreen display. The master controller is
labeled as Tank A on the touchscreen display and on the tank’s product
label.
2. Connect all required control inputs to the master controller board by
following the instructions in “Control input” on Page 12.
3. Wire all control boards of the multi-tank group together using twisted pair
wire.
• Important: DriSteem recommends using one pair of wires of a Cat-5 cable.
Do not use non-twisted two-conductor wire.
• Connect controller boards together at terminal block P8. Connect positive
to positive terminals, and negative to negative terminals. On the last board
in the series of connected boards, jumper the pins at J1001 (located on the
Vapor-logic board next to the RJ11 phone socket, see Page 5). On all other
boards, J1001 should not be shunted.
4. If you plan to use the Web interface, follow the wiring instructions in “Web
interface communication” on Page 21.
• Note: Each tank must be connected via Ethernet to a network system
for the Web interface to access all tanks in the multi-tank group.
5. Connect the touchscreen display cable to any control board in the
multi-tank system. The master tank must be powered for the display to
communicate.
MULTI-TANK SYSTEM SETUP
Factory configuration
Humidifier tanks ordered as a multi-tank group are configured at the factory.
The factory configuration process includes:
• Assigning letter names to tanks (Tank A, Tank B, .... Tank P).
Note: The master tank is always configured as Tank A.
• Assigning priority group numbers (0, 1, 2, 3)
• Configuring the controllers
Changing factory configuration
Change tank designation using the Web interface only. Go to the Web screen
Settings menu to access Multi-tank setup/Tank designator.
Important:
Any change made to or from the tank controller designated as “A” will cause
an approximate five-second delay while the board reboots. During this time the
Web interface display will not change.
