5.2 Operating Procedures
5.2.1 Starting Up
Start up the Nortec EL steam humidifier as follows:
1. Set the On/Off button to the On position – refer to Figure 4 on page 13 .
The control software then starts initializing and performs system checks. When initialization and
system checks are completed successfully, the Home screen is displayed on the touchscreen display
– refer to Figure 5 on page 15 . The humidifier goes into the normal operating mode.
If a valid humidity demand signal is present the contactor closes, and after a 60 second delay the
fill valve opens and begins to fill the steam cylinder(s) with water. When the water level rises and
makes contact with the electrodes, the water starts to heat and the status LED turns green in color.
Depending on the conductivity of the water, it may take approximately 30-60 minutes to generate
steam on the first startup.
Note: If the water conductivity is low, it is possible that the humidifier does not output steam at full
capacity during the first few hours (or even days) of operation. This is quite normal. As vaporization
continues the mineral concentration increases and the conductivity of water reaches an optimum
level, at which point the humidifier will start to output steam at full capacity.
If there is no humidity demand the status LED turns to a flashing green, and the humidifier goes into
standby mode to await the next humidity demand signal.
5.2.2 Remote Monitoring
The Nortec EL steam humidifier can be monitored remotely if it is equipped with an optional remote fault
indication board and wired to a remote monitoring system. Table 6 describes the function of each relay
on the board. Refer to
Indication
and
Safety Chain Indication
for additional details.
Table 6: Remote Fault Indication Function
Remote Relay Description
Error The humidifier is stopped due to a fault condition, or may be oper -
able only for a limited period of time.
Service/Warning Depending on the software configuration, indicates if the cylinder is
spent, and/or if a warning condition is present.
Steam A humidity demand is present, and the humidifier is producing
steam.
Unit On The humidifier has power, and the On/Off switch is in the On
position.
The Nortec EL steam humidifier may also be monitored remotely from a laptop or desktop computer using
the ethernet port on the control board. Please contact your local Condair representative for assistance.
