If a demand signal is present, the unit will then
begin the combustion sequence. As the unit operates, the fill valve with be pulsed to maintain the water level between the yellow and green positions. During steam production the unit will also check if the floats and drain pump are operational by activating a drain sequence every 24 hours. (adjustable to time of day)

Before the GS humidifier is operated for the first time, a complete inspection must be performed to ensure that the installation and all water, gas, steam, electrical and venting connections to the humidifier conform to the guidelines in this manual. Complete the checklist on pages 25 & 26 before commissioning the unit.
Qualified personnel must correct any deficiencies with the installation before commissioning takes place.
Prior to starting the humidifier, it is necessary to ensure that no dirt or dust has accumulated in the electronics compartment or the burner area. A build up of dust on the electronics can cause overheating and early failure of the components. If necessary, clean the area around thehumidifier to prevent contaminants from being drawn into the combustion blowers.

The fill valve will energize and the tank will begin to fill (fill time is approximately 10 to 30 minutes depending on unit size). Once the float chamber has registered low water level, the unit will perform an internal test of the fill and drain system as described in the Water Management section
At the completion of the test, the float chamber will indicate middle float position (green LED) and the unit will go into standby mode until a demand signal is received
