AF-22 Functional description 

 

The AF-22 is controlled by a hygrostat that is placed in the atomizer head. 
 
The device consists of two components: the wall bracket 

(1)

 and the atomizer 

(2)

 
The wall bracket consists of the shut-off valves for water 

(3)

 and air 

(4)

 as well as the supply lines for water 

(5)

, air 

(6)

 

and operating voltage 

(7)

.  

 
The atomizer consists of the set point adjuster 

(9)

, the nozzle 

(8)

 as well as the LED indicator lights 

standby (green) and atomization (red) 

(10)

.  

 
The desired air humidity is pre-selected on the set point adjuster. When the value falls short of the chosen 
value, the device switches itself on (LED atomization emits light). When the set point is reached again, 
the device switches itself off. 
The compressed air supply remains switched on, also after the water was switched off, for about 1 minute 
(air-blowing).  
 
The standby indicator lights up as soon as the operating voltage (48 VAC) is available on the device.  

 
 

 

 

Maximum water pressure (inlet) = 43 psi

 

 

 

 

Maximum air pressure (inlet) = 87 psi

 

  

 

Check the pressure values of the manometers 

 

Water 

2.9 – 5.8 psi (11) 

 

Air 

43.5 – 58.0 psi (12) 

 

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 

The atomizers can be 

 

adjusted by means of the 

 

ball-and-socket (13) joint.
