5. Mechanical installation
Risk of foot injuries!
Prevent unit from dropping during installation!
Helping hand of a second person is advis-
able.
Risk of electrical shock!
Hazardous electrical voltage.
During installation, the unit must be discon-
nected from power supply.
5.1 Environment parameters to
be met
•
By design, HygroMatik steam humidi-
fiers are not qualified for outdoor instal-
lation (electronical components and
water-bearing parts may be damaged)
•
Ambient temperature must lie between
+5 and +40 °C (+41 and +104 °F) in
order to protect the unit electronics
against damage; frost may damage the
steam cylinder, the solenoid valve and
pump, as well as make hoses burst
•
Installation in a closed room requires
aeration and, eventually, temperature
conditioning in order to meet the a.m.
environmental conditions
•
Relative humidity must not exceed
80 % r.h., since values beyond may
lead to electronic malfunction or
damage
•
The steam humidifier rear panel heats
up during operation to a maximum of
70 °C (158 °F). Take care that the con-
struction on which the unit is to be
mounted is not made of temperature-
sensitive material
•
Protection class IP20
5.2 Mounting recommendations
•
Mount the unit on a stable, preferably
solid wall offering the bearing capacity
required (s. unit technical specificati-
ons), using the mounting material sup-
plied with the unit. If such a wall is not
at hand, the unit may be attached to a
stand bracket firmly bolted to the floor
•
The minimum clearances indicated in
the below figures must be observed in
order to ensure adequate unit ventila-
tion and allow for unobstructed access
in case of maintenance
•
The steam humidifier should be moun-
ted in a position so that draught effects
are avoided. Minimum mounting height
above floor is 150 cm (59 inch). In
order to keep out of harm‘s way of scal-
ding in the nozzle area with steam
emission with a temperature of 100 °C
(212 °F), however, it is recommended
that the steam humidifier is positioned
in a height of 2.0 m (79 inch).
•
Make use of existing water connections
for supply and draining
•
Hoses must be laid at a consistent 5 to
10 % incline/decline; sagging and kin-
king prevention is a must
In order to achieve equal electrode depth of
immersion, plumb and level installation of the
HygroMatik humidifier is required.
