Warning Fault
W27 E27 Foam Cyl
Foaming Cyl (on fault)
Foam detected in the steam cylinder.
Foam in the steam cylinder.
– Manually Initiate drain of the
steam cylinder – refer to "Manually
Initiate Steam Cylinder Draining" on
page 59 . Repeat several times,
if necessary.
– Check the quality of the water
supply.
Backpressure may be preventing
water from entering the cylinder.
– Check for restrictions and proper
condensate removal in the
steam line.
– If water goes down the drain
during the fill cycle, install a fill
cup extension kit.
Water may be contaminated with
organic material.
– Install a filter to remove the
organic material.
Drain may be blocked due to over-
concentration of minerals.
– Clean the drain line.
Humidifier short cycling. – Check that the humidifier can
run normally long enough to per -
form a drain cycle. If not, enable
the Short Cycle feature.
W28 – Cylinder Spent Steam cylinder replacement required.
Electrodes in steam cylinder spent.
– Replace the steam cylinder –
refer to "Removal and Installation of
Steam Cylinder" on page 66 .

software.
– Check/correct the Signal Type set -
ting for the sensor/humidistat in
the control software.
Defective humidity sensor/humidistat. – Replace defective sensor/
humidistat.
W34 – Rem Disable The humidifier is disabled remotely by the BMS (building management
system).
W35 – BMS T/O (timeout) The maximum wait time without any communications from the BMS has

tions with the BMS is re-established.
W42 – RH High Sensed humidity is above the maximum value configured in the software.
Incorrect layout of the humidity con
-
trol system, or defective components.
– Check the humidity control
system.
Humidifier capacity too large for the
space being humidified.
– Adjust the proportional and/or integral
value of the controller.
– Run the humidifier with Capacity
Limitation .
The RH High value for the sensor
signal is set too low.
– Adjust the RH High value for the
sensor signal.
W43 – RH Low Sensed humidity is below the minimum value configured in the software.
Incorrect layout of the humidity con
-
trol system, or defective components.
– Check the humidity control
system.
The RH Low value for the sensor
signal is set too high.
– Adjust the RH Low value for the
sensor signal.
