HUMIDIFIRST
STARTING UP YOUR SYSTEM FOR THE FIRST TIME
First, make sure the system is ready to be started. This means that the humidifier module
and Master Panel are mounted properly and are ready. All the water connections must be
in place and supply water must be available. All electrical connections must be ready and
the main power must be available.
1.
Before the Humidifirst humidification system is started, the water supply lines
that supply water to the humidifier module should be flushed for 5 minutes to
ensure that the water lines are clean and free of debris.
If you are using a Reverse Osmosis system to purify your water, it may take as
long as 45 minutes for water to start to flow. Even at peak flow, the Reverse
Osmosis unit may only produce a trickle of water. (One Mist-Pac 15 uses about 2
gallons per hour)
If you are using a De-Ionization bottle for water treatment, the water will start to
flow in 5 to 15 minutes.
2.
Remove the humidifier lid and pour water into the basin tot a depth of 1”.
3.
Before plugging the Master Panel into a 120 volt outlet check all electrical
connections for tightness. Make sure the system is ready to be started and that all
water and electrical connections are correct. Flip the circuit breakers to the “on”
position before closing the lid.
4.
Plug the power cord from the Master Panel into the 120-volt wall receptacle.
5.
Turn the “On/Off” switch (located on the front of the Master Panel) to the “On”
position.
6.
Adjust the humidistat to the desired set point. It may take 5-45 minutes for the
water level in the basin to rise to the required level (approximately 1 ½”) before
the mist will start. If the mist does not start when the water level is reached then
adjust the humidistat to a higher set point - the room relative humidity set point
may already be satisfied or the humidistat may need calibrating.
CAUTION: OPERATING THE TRANSDUCERS WITHOUT WATER
COVERING THEM BY MANUALLY LIFTING THE FLOAT SWITCH
WILL CAUSE THEIR IMMEDIATE FAILURE.
7.
To verify that the humidifier module is filling with water, you can briefly lift the
lid of the humidifier module to visually inspect the water.
8.
Once the humidifier module is full the “low water safety” relay should switch to
the “on” position and the humidifier module should start operating. This will not
happen until there is approximately 1 ½” of water in the basin.
9.
Visually inspect the humidifier modules for proper operation and the mist
absorption path.
