PRODUCT OVERVIEW Aprilaire Steam Humidifiers create steam by boiling water inside a steam chamber. This is accomplished by the transfer of energy from electric heating elements to the water inside the chamber. A three-level water probe is used to determine when to turn on and off a water fill valve in order to bring water into the chamber. Once the[...]

DISTRIBUTION TUBE INSTALLATION After the location for the distribution tube has been identified, follow the steps below and refer to Figure 12 to install the distribution tube in the duct. 1. Cut or drill a 1 5/8” diameter opening in the duct. 2. Drill a 3/8” hole in the opposite surface of the duct so that the distribution tube has a 2”/ft. [...]

MOUNTING THE HUMIDIFIER Mounting the humidifier on the wall When mounting on a wood stud wall (studs 16” [406 mm] on center), locate studs and position lag bolts in place so that each of the bolts centers on a stud. Mark hole locations and predrill ¼” (6 mm) diameter pilot holes. Secure cabinet to wall with lag bolts provided. When mounting on[...]

Below are field wiring connections: • Connect to line power. Refer to the wiring diagram or the dataplate on the outside of the cabinet for wire sizing amperage. • Connect to control signal wiring.

Description: The airflow proving switch is a safety device that will prevent the humidifier from producing steam when there is no airflow present in the HVAC system. The switch is a pressure differential measuring device that determines if there is airflow present based on the pressure differential between the HVAC system and atmosphere. The switch[...]

Notes: • Dashed lines indicate provided by installer. • The water supply inlet is more than 1” (25 mm) above the skim/overflow port, eliminating the possibility of backflow or siphoning from the chamber. No additional backflow prevention is required; however, governing codes prevail. Shock arrester recommended to reduce water hammer ¼” (DN[...]

DISTRIBUTION DRIP TEE INSTALLATION If the humidifier cannot be mounted below the steam distribution tube, such that there is a minimum 2”/ft (15%) pitch along the entire hose length, a drip tee as shown below must be installed. Failure to follow the recommendations on this page, when the humidifier is mounted higher than the distribution tube, ca[...]

After the system is properly installed and connected to both electrical and water supplies, it can be started. START-UP PROCEDURE: Mounting Before filling with water, check mounting to verify that the steam chamber is level and securely supported. Refer to Maintenance Section, page 29, for details on securing the steam chamber. Piping Verify that a[...]

Water Supply • Turn water supply on; confirm drain valve is closed. Power • Turn the supply power on. – Verify that the On/Off indicator light illuminates along with the Fill indicator light. – Verify that the fill valve opens and adds water until the humidifier chamber is full, at which time the fill valve closes and the Fill indicator lig[...]

D. If the steam chamber is cool to the touch, skip to Step 1E. If the chamber is hot, the water must be cooled down before draining and handling of the chamber. This can be accomplished by allowing sufficient time for the chamber to become cool enough to handle. As an alternative, if the drain piping is designed to handle intermittent drain water t[...]

2. Remove the steam chamber (see Figure 25 for drawing item numbers): • Hold up on the bottom of the steam chamber (Item 6 in drawing) and remove the top mounting nuts (Items 2 and 3). • Hold up on the bottom of the steam chamber while removing the bottom mounting nut (Item 4). When the bottom mounting nut is removed, the handle (Item 5) falls [...]

11. Turn on the electrical power. 12. Allow the steam chamber to fill with water and initiate a humidity demand signal (see Figure 28 for drawing item numbers). • IMPORTANT: Verify that the gasket seal is not leaking prior to leaving the humidifier unattended. – If a leak is observed in the left front or side of the gasket, loosen backing nut ([...]

TROUBLESHOOTING Problem Possible Cause Action All indicator lights are blinking sequentially from right to left The humidifier is in a forced cool-down period prior to a required automatic drain sequence. • This is normal operation. DO NOT RESET POWER. The humidifier will automatically resume making steam once it has cooled down, drained, and r[...]

Problem Possible Cause Action The On/Off light on the display panel is blinking slowly (one blink per second) Mineral buildup or oxidation on probe rods • Remove probe assembly and clean probe rods; reset power to clear warning. Deterioration of probe rod assembly • Replace probe rod assembly. The On/Off light on the display panel is blinking r[...]

Problem Possible Cause Action Heater burnout Improper wiring • Verify proper voltage applied to heater. • Verify proper electrical connections. Water level is too low. • Replace probe assembly. Mineral buildup on heaters • If heaters are on continuously and therefore not expanding and contracting with on-off cycles to shed mineral buildup, [...]

Problem Possible Cause Action Humidity below desired level No humidity demand signal from humidistat • Low or no signal from humidistat. Check for proper wiring. • No demand signal by others. • If using Automatic Steam Humidifier Control in the Automatic Mode and the temperature outside is greater than 60°F, the unit will not operate.
