RH Faults
The self-diagnostic system built into the RH is continually monitoring the operation of the
humidifier. When an abnormal condition occurs that cannot be self corrected by the software
the RH will turn off power to the cylinder, drain the cylinder, and annunciate the fault using the
yellow status LED.
LED Flash Sequence
To differentiate between different fault conditions the yellow LED is flashed in different
sequences. Table 8 lists the fault sequences that can be displayed, their meaning, possible
cause and suggested corrective actions.
Clearing a Fault
• Check the flash sequence against the list of fault messages and take any necessary actions
to correct the cause(s) as outlined in Table 8: Troubleshooting RH Faults.
• Power cycle the humidifier with the On/Off switch waiting 10 seconds between turning it off
and on.
