Figure 50: Drain Valve Actuator Assembly 

Installing the New Cylinder 

 

 
 

        

1

 

Insert cylinder into drain valve.  Tilt cylinder forward and fit end of steam hose to steam 
outlet.  Tip cylinder back into place.   

2

 

Secure cylinder with the reusable cable tie.  Hand tighten hose clamp being careful not to 
over tighten and crush the plastic cylinder steam outlet.  The Maximum torque is 12 in-lbs 
for 7/8”Nortec steam hose and 16 in-lbs for 1 3/4" Nortec steam hose. 

3

 

Attach color coded cylinder plugs to the corresponding color coded cylinder pin.  Push down 
completely.  Connect high water sensor plug.  Spring loaded plugs should fit snuggly onto 
the cylinder pin.  Replace if they are loose or damaged. 

4

 

Replace the humidifier door and secure with door screw. 

5

 

Turn on power to humidifier with the external disconnect. 

6

 

Open supply water shut off valve.  

7

 

Turn the humidifier On/Off switch to On. 

8

 

After the software has completed its start up self check reset the cylinder by pressing in the 
cylinder box of the status screen and confirming the cylinder was replaced in the following 
screen. 

 
 
 

CAUTION:

 Make sure the new cylinder is the same model as the one that was removed.  Model number 

is on top left corner of cylinder label. 
 

Sleeve 
and 
Solenoid

Spring

Plunger

(Note Orientation)

NOTE:

 If the “Cylinder Reset” is not performed the humidifier will operate for 72 hours and then fault 

on cylinder spent!
