Inlet Valve Strainer Cleaning

Depending on the water quality, periodic cleaning of the 
fill valve strainer may be required. This can be performed 
without removing the valve from humidifier.

WARNING

Disconnect main power source before accessing 
internal compartments.

The inside of the humidifier cabinet contains high 
voltage components and wiring. Access should be 
limited to authorized personnel.

1.

Turn off power to the humidifier with the external 
disconnect.

2.

Close the supply water shut off valve.

3.

Using an adjustable wrench, remove the quick 
connect fitting from the inlet valve. Have a cloth 
available to absorb any residual water in the supply 
line.

4.

Use a needle-nosed pliers to grip and remove the 
inlet valve strainer.

5.

Clean the strainer with water and a plastic brush 
(toothbrush), if necessary. Do not use soap or harsh 
chemicals as these could be carried into the cylinder 
when the humidifier is restarted.

6.

Press fit the strainer back into the inlet valve.

7.

Reconnect the quick connect fitting, tighten by 
hand, then tighten ¼ turn with the adjustable 
wrench.

8.

Turn on the humidifier water supply. Check for any 
leaks.

9.

Turn on power at the external disconnect.

10.

Press the Power/Drain button for 1 second. The 
humidifier will perform a short self-diagnostic 
sequence before resuming normal operation.

CONTROL BOARD 
REPLACEMENT

The control board controls all aspects of the humidifier’s 
operation. In case of damage and/or failure, the control 
board can be replaced. The control board will arrive with 
factory settings and there is no need for any special 
calibration other than selecting the correct mains voltage 
(120 VAC or 240 VAC) supplied to the humidifier. This 
product is shipped in anti-static packaging designed to 
keep the electronics on the board safe from static shock.

CAUTION

Damage to Control Board

When handling the control board, ensure that you 
are grounded. Static discharge can damage the 
board, so handle it with care.

Opening Electrical Compartment

WARNING

Disconnect main power source before accessing 
internal compartments.

The inside of the humidifier cabinet contains high 
voltage components and wiring. Access should be 
limited to authorized personnel.

To protect the user and the control board, the control board 
is mounted in a red electrical compartment housing.

1.

Disconnect main power at the external disconnect.

2.

Using a flat screwdriver, turn the lock on the 
humidifier’s front cover 90° counterclockwise to 
release. Rotate the base of the cover outwards 
6 inches, then lift upwards to remove.

3.

Use a flat screwdriver to loosen the retaining screw 
on the red electrical compartment. Once free, pull 
the cover straight out.

Removing the Control Board

1.

Use a Phillips screwdriver to release the control 
board retaining screw. Keep the screw and plastic 
washer (which protects the control board) for the 
replacement control board.

2.

Pull the control board partially out of its housing. 
Use a Phillips screwdriver to remove the primary 
power wires from the terminal block (top-right of the 
board). Then remove the spade terminals (cylinder 
wires, high water sensor, ground wire) from the 
board. Use a pliers, if necessary. As the control wires 
are disconnected, label them to ensure they are 
reconnected correctly. Finally, disconnect the 
terminal block connection for the fill and drain 
valves.

3.

With all wires removed, the control board will slide 
out of its protective housing.

Installing the Control Board

1.

Set the control board VOLTAGE SELECTION jumper 
to match the voltage supplied to the humidifier. Do 
not assume the VOLTAGE SELECTION jumper on 
the replacement board is correct! Always double 
check the mains supply voltage.

2.

Slide the new control board partially into its housing 
and reconnect all the wires. Refer to wiring diagram 
on the unit for assistance. Ensure all spade 
connections are press fitted completely on their 
electrical tabs and the main power leads are well 
tightened and not loose (loose connections lead to 
heat buildup and a potential fire hazard).

3.

Once all wires and connections are made, slide the 
control board completely into its protective housing.

4.

Ensuring the plastic washer is placed between the 
screw head and the control board, secure the control 
board with the retaining screw.

5.

Replace the electrical compartment cover.

6.

Replace the humidifier front cover, and turn the 
locking screw 90° clockwise to secure it.

7.

Turn on the mains power to the unit at the 
disconnect switch. 

8.

Press the Power/Drain button for  1 second. The 
humidifier will perform a short self-diagnostic 
sequence before resuming normal operation.
