WARNING!
Do NOT leave the unit without power. Risk of contamination.
Do NOT leave the unit unpowered for more than 48 hours, or else a total system disinfect will be
required. Without power, the system will not flush properly, resulting in standing water and
conditions that may promote the growth of micro-organisms.
Prevention: Leave your unit powered on. If you do not need humidification during the 48 hours, set
the humidifier to standby or set the demand to 0.
7.2 Inspecting the Unit
Perform regulation inspections of the Ultrasonic Humidifier and the humidification system when it is in operation.
Regularly inspect the following when the unit is in operation:
□ Inspect the water and mist connections
□
Ensure that the drain lines are not blocked or kinked, and empty into the air gap funnel.
□
Check that the unit and other system components have not shifted from their mountings, and are fastened
securely.
□
Visually check the electrical wiring for any damage.
□
Check the Home screen on the unit for messages.
□
Check that the doors on the unit are closed and fastened securely.
If any irregularities, such as leakages, fault messages, or damaged components, are found, shut down the unit
before servicing. Refer to
"Shutting Down the Unit" on the facing page . If assistance is required, please contact
your Condair representative.
7.3 Starting Up
IMPORTANT! Clean and disinfect the unit if the unit has been unpowered for an extended period of time (over
48 hours). Refer to "Cleaning and Disinfecting" on page 38 .
To start the Ultrasonic Humidifier, press the On/Off button at the front of the humidifier. Refer to "User Interface
Controls" on page 24 .
Once the humidifier is turned on, the control software will perform a system check. When the system check is
completed, the Home screen is displayed on the LCD screen. Refer to
"Navigation Elements" on page 25 and the
humidifier enters normal operating mode.
Before the humidifier begins to create mist, the unit will flush itself to remove water from the water lines and
reservoir(s). Once flushed, the humidifier will fill the reservoir(s) (this process can take several minutes,
depending on water pressure). After filling the reservoir, the humidifier will remain idle until a demand for
humidification is received.
Note:
The humidifier will check the operation of the water level sensor on start-up, and after a flushing cycle.
7.3.1 Restarting the Unit
The Ultrasonic Humidifier can be restarted after performing maintenance on the unit. Ensure the unit is secure
and undamaged before restarting the unit.
IMPORTANT! Clean and disinfect the unit if the unit has been unpowered for an extended period of time (over
48 hours). Refer to "Cleaning and Disinfecting" on page 38 .
