4.4 Putting the humidifier into operation
4.5 Automatic operation
4.6 Setting the output limitation
After the steam hose, water feed pipe, drainage pipes and electrical cables
have all been correctly connected, the NOVAP 3000 humidifier can be
switched on using the black power switch. As soon as the humidistat or
humidity controller demands humidification, the green Humidification LED
lights up, the contactor is activated and, soon after, water is fed into the
steam cylinder, whereupon fully automatic operation commences.
Of course, the humidifier will operate automatically only if (a) it was
installed by a specialist and (b) the shut-off valve in the water feed pipe is
open.
After the water in the steam cylinder has been heated up, the production
of steam begins.
During the start-up phase, or after a new replacement cylinder has been
fitted, the maximum water level, or Niveau max. can be attained. When
Niveau max. has been reached, the inlet valve closes briefly; this is a
normal occurrence during the steam cylinder’s concentration phase. The
length of this phase can differ; it lasts until the cylinder has reached
the nominal rating. When the Niveau max. is attained, it will be indicated
by a red flash in the green colour of the LED.
The NOVAP 3000 series’ special electronic controls unit with microcontroller
regulates all operations automatically, so that the user does not need to
take any action or make any settings during normal running.
The NOVAP 3000 series enables an adaptation of the steam
output. The steam output can be set from 20% to 100%
capacity. For setting the output limitation, you must open the
electric compartment and turn the potentiometer on the
electronic print. Turning clockwise increases the steam output
and turning anticlockwise reduces the steam output. All
humidifiers are set ex works to 100% output.
