Connect the water supply to the 3/8" tube compression fitting on the fill valve adaptor . NOTE: ORDINARY (POT ABLE) T AP W A TER IS RECOMMENDED. IF POT ABLE W A TER IS NOT A V AILABLE, CONSUL T THE F [...]

c. Use the template provided to cut installation holes in the duct for the dispersion tube as in Figure 7-2 (and optional drain tube, Figure 7-3). d. Insert the dispersion tube into the duct so the holes face upward. Fasten the mounting plate to the outside of the duct with sheet metal screws. If the dispersion tube is 36" long or more, suppor[...]

CONTROL WIRING NOTE: Wiring to the low-voltage controls should not run in the same conduit s as the power supply wiring because faulty signals could result. The use of either a metal conduit or shielded wire is required for all the control and / or safety wiring. When using metal conduit, the conduit must extend the entire length of the wire, and t[...]

W all Mounted Control Humidist at: W all-mounted humidistat s are usually installed 4 f t. to 5 ft. above floor level. Of ten, the best location is beside a thermostat that controls temperature in the same sp ace that is to be humidified, if that loca- tion meets the following criteria: • The control humidistat should be located where it will be [...]

Duct Mounted Control Humidist at: Duct-mounted control humidistat s are also available for installation where sensing and control of return air or exhaust air ducts is preferable. (Figure 10-1) Please refer to manufacturer's recommendations for further information on the location, mounting, and operation of the various control humidistat s. 10[...]

If the stat demand display is greater than 35% and the unit does not begin filling, press the mode select button three times and the diagnostic mode indicator will light. Note the diagnostic message and refer to the diagnostics information in the troubleshooting section of this manual (page 20). c) If the stat demand is less than 35%, force a 100% [...]

15) V erify that all of the input/output circuits are functioning properly by entering the input/output diagnostics mode. Press the mode button until the diagnostics indicator lights and wait ten seconds. The unit will do a complete self-diagnostic check. See CO in the diagnostics section of this manual (page 20) for more information. 16) T urn pow[...]

TROUBLESHOOTING GUIDE CAUTION!: Disconnect the electric power supply at the circuit breaker or switch whenever the unit is to be inspected or serviced. DO NOT USE THE T ANK ON/OFF SWITCH ON THE HUMIDI- FIER BECAUSE THIS SWITCH DISCONNECTS THE STEAM GENERA TOR T ANK ONL Y . PRINCIPLE OF OPERA TION - AN OVERVIEW The Armstrong Series EHU-700 electroni[...]

A high-water float switch prevents water carry-over into the duct due to an excessive water level in the tank. When the high water limit is reached the HIGH W A TER light comes on and the fill valve is blocked until some water is boiled away and the water level drops. This is common during startup. If the high water light comes on and the water lev[...]

Monitoring Current: While the unit is filling, the current should increase. As the current approaches the maximum rating of the unit, it increases more slowly , especially in higher capacity units. With the t ank on, and the fill and drain circuits idle, the current should fall slowly . When the unit is draining, the current should decrease at a mo[...]

EHU-700 DIAGNOSTICS THE Series EHU-700 has built in diagnostics to detect system problems early , before they become severe. If possible, the diagnostic routine performs corrective measures. If necessary , the unit is shut- down and a dry contact is closed to enable a remote alarm. The diagnostic messages that result in the unit being shutdown are [...]

C04: HIGH LIMIT CIRCUIT : When the humidity in the duct reaches the high limit stat set-point, the circuit will open and the microcontroller will de-energize the contactor . The diagnostic mode will display the message C04 and the fill solenoid is blocked. C05: DRAIN SYSTEM F AILURE: This routine checks for a failure to reduce current if the drain [...]

C09: I/O DIAGNOSTICS If the display mode selection is left in the diagnostic mode for 10 seconds, the Input/Output circuit diagnostic check will begin. The display will show the message C09, the t ank will be off, and the diagnostics mode light will remain on. Output Circuit s: The diagnostics will first check all the output circuits: fill valve, d[...]

W A TER QUALITY AND TREA TMENT FOR EHU SERIES HUMIDIFIERS GENERAL Series EHU 700 electronic humidifiers use ordinary tap water in their operation. The quality of this water affect s both the operation and the maintenance of the humidifier . How the EHU works: The EHU is an electrode boiler . When no water is present, the electrodes are separated by[...]

Result s: -Excessive time needed to reach set point during star-up. -Poor humidity control. Remedy: -Add 1/2 teaspoon of Epsom salt s to the fill cup. After start-up the automatic drain program should maintain the unit at full cap acity . -If problem persists, cont act the factory . WHEN W A TER CONDUCTIVITY IS TOO HIGH Indicators: -W ater level ju[...]
