– Before carrying out working steps on particular components of the Condair GS...OC
humidifier set the humidifier out of service , disconnect it from the power supply by
setting the service switch to “Off”, close the gas supply and secure the unit against
unintentional oper ation .
Warning! If the ambient temperature is below the freezing-point the water tank
must be drained (see also chapter 7.4).
– Warning! Before carrying out maintenance or repair works, especially under extreme
weather conditions (e.g. rain, snow) , protect the unit in a way that no electrical or
other components inside the unit can get wet (cover unit with a tent).
If parts inside the unit have become wet, let them dry thoroughly and have the humidi­
fier checked by a qualified service technician before restarting.
– Installation, maintenance, and repair of the electrical and the gas installation of the
Condair GS...OC humidifier must be carried out only by qualified personnel being aware
of possible danger and implications.
– Poorly maintained humidification systems may endanger health and affect proper op­
eration. Therefore it is mandatory to observe the speci fied maintenance intervals
and to carry out maintenance work in strict accordance with the instructions .
Note: The water supplied to the Condair GS...OC contains minerals which continuously
accumulate inside the water tank during the evaporation process. To prevent excess
accumulation, the water tank must be cleaned on a regular schedule.
– Observe all local safety regulations regarding the handling of mains­powered and gas
fired devices.
– Attention! The electronic parts inside the humidifier are very sensitive to electrostatic
discharge. To prevent damage, appropriate measures against electrostatic discharge
(ESD protection) must be taken when working on an open unit.
– For safe operation of the Condair GS...OC humidifier, make sure the ambient con ditions
(temperature/humidity) meet the respective specifications defined in this docu mentation
(see chapter 10.1) :
– Safe operating ambient temperatures – As long as the unit is powered and is
running, the heat generated internally (ie. that comes off of the tank) is sufficient to
keep the space inside the enclosure warm and will protect the electronics (the electric
heaters will not come on very often except during extremely cold temperatures).
For this reason, the unit will operate safely at outdoor temperatures between -25°C
(-13°F) and +35°C (95°F) .
Note: a thermostatically controlled cooling fan will be activated in the enclosure
when the internal temperatures measured in the electronics area exceeds 25°C.
– Safe ambient temperature range if there is no power – If there is no power
supplied to the unit, the unit can not run to generate any heat and the electric heat­
ers and the cooling fan will also not work! Therefore the unit is safe to sit outdoor
without any power at outdoor temperatures between 0°C (32°F) and 25°C (80°F) .
This temperature range is limited because of the electronics.
Warning! If the unit has been exposed to temperatures outside of the above stated
range, do not restart the unit. Before restarting the humidifier have a qualified service
technician inspect the appliance and replace any defective part.
Warning! If the outside temperature is below 5 °C when reconnecting the unit to
the power supply let the heaters of the unit to be on for a minimum of 30 minutes
to heat the electronics before starting the unit.
