|
| |
|
| Check drain valve to ensure that it drains freely. Check and | |
|
| replace if defective. | |
| Foaming |
| |
False canister full indication | Check water supply. If commercially softened, reconnect to | ||
|
| raw water supply. If connected to hot water reconnect to | |
|
| cold water. | |
Main 24 VAC fuse or circuit | Shorts or loose connections | Check the wiring connections of the 24 VAC circuit. | |
breaker trips | Faulty circuit board | Replace the circuit board. | |
|
|
| |
Main fuses blow | Faulty solenoid | Check for magnetic field at coil. | |
approximately 15 seconds | Conductivity too high | Check amp draw of humidifier on startup. If it exceeds rated | |
after unit is activated | amps, increase setting of the % pot on the circuit board | ||
|
|
| |
| Mineral deposits obstruct | Check drain valve for obstructions and clean if necessary. | |
Main fuses blow when | drain valve | ||
| |||
drain valve is activated. | Faulty solenoid | Check for magnetic field at coil. | |
|
|
| |
| Faulty circuit board | Replace circuit board. | |
|
|
| |
|
| Verify that RUN/DRAIN switch is in the RUN position. | |
|
|
| |
Unit ON, humidifier will not | Humidifier not receiving power | Check fuses or CBs and replace or reset if necessary. | |
operate |
| ||
| Make sure molex connector is securely plugged into circuit | ||
|
| ||
|
| board and that no wires are loose. | |
|
|
| |
| No water available to unit | Check external | |
|
|
| |
Contactor pulled in, but no | Clogged fill line strainer | Clean or replace fill line strainer. | |
|
| ||
Wiring breaks or loose |
| ||
water enters canister | Check for faulty wiring and loose connections. | ||
| connections |
| |
| Faulty circuit board | Replace circuit board. | |
|
|
| |
| Foaming | Check drain valve and water supply. | |
|
|
| |
|
| Check connection on component plate in humidifier cabinet. | |
|
| Terminal #1 on the square block interface device must be | |
|
| connected to L2 of the power terminal block. L2 must also | |
|
| be connected to the electrode closest to the steam outlet | |
| Canister interface connections | port. | |
| incorrect | Verify that the red wire from terminal #2 on the interface | |
|
| ||
Water enters canister, but |
| connects to the red top terminal on the canister. This is the | |
canister full circuit activates |
| one farthest from the steam outlet port and is the high water | |
at a low water level |
| sensor probe. | |
|
| Remove red canister full wire from canister. If normal | |
| Full isolation has broken down | operation resumes, canister must be replaced. Remove the | |
| wire from terminal #3 on the interface. If normal operation | ||
|
| ||
|
| resumes, canister full interface must be replaced. | |
|
|
| |
| Drain assembly not operating | Check and replace coil or valve if necessary. | |
| freely | ||
|
| ||
| Faulty circuit board | Replace circuit board | |
|
|
| |
Canister fills but overflows | Canister full circuit does not | Check wiring of canister full interface. Replace circuit board. | |
