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 and secured
against being switched on again. The
absence of voltage must be ensured by a
measurement.
5.1 Environment Parameters to
be met and Mounting Recom-
mendations
When selecting the installation site for the
steam humidifier, take the following into
account:
•
The minimum clearances indicated in
the fitting measures section must be
observed in order to ensure adequate
unit ventilation and allow for unobstruc-
ted access in case of maintenance
•
Protection class IP20
•
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
•
Relative humidity must not exceed
80 % r.h., since values beyond may
lead to electronic malfunction or dam-
age
•
Installation in a closed room requires
aeration and, eventually, temperature
conditioning in order to meet the a.m.
environmental conditions
•
The steam humidifier should be
installed as close as possible to the
steam manifold. Optimum perfor-
mance is only guaranteed when steam
and condensate hoses are kept short
•
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
•
Mount the unit on a stable, preferably
solid wall offering the bearing capacity
required (s. unit technical specificati-
ons). If such a wall is not at hand, the
unit may be attached to a stand bracket
firmly bolted to the floor
•
For proper functioning of the level con-
trol, plumb and level installation of the
unit is required
•
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
