DISPLAYING INFORMATION

The information shown on the display during the normal
operation of the humidifier is the instant current in amperes
running between the electrodes.
To display other information, press and hold the "RESET/SEL"
button until the display shows the required information. When
holding the button, every 2 seconds the display will scroll
between the current, the percentage (%) of steam production,
the hour counter and then the current again (Fig. 5.a).
Fig. 5.a
1. Instant current: this is the current that flows through the
water to make it boil (default display).
2. Percentage (%) of steam production: this is the steam
production (proportional to the current), expressed as a
percentage of rated production.
3. Hour counter: counts the operating hours, proportional to
the % of cylinder production (this must be reset whenever
the cylinder is replaced). For example, if the cylinder has
worked for 100 hours at 50% production, the number of
proportional operating hours is 50. The value is expressed
in tens of hours, so for example when the display shows
13, the real number of operating hours is between 130
and 139 hours. Once 1990 hours have elapsed (199 on the
display), the hours are displayed in hundreds. Example: 21
= 2100 hours.

SELECTING SIGNAL TYPE

(Skip this step if using included GFX4)
The steam humidifier is pre-set for the included GFX4
humidistat (signal type 0). If the included GFX4 humidistat
is used, this section may be omitted. If another humidistat is
used, review this section to see if changes are needed.
NOTE: select the correct control signal type on the keypad
before connecting the control wiring. If no selection is
made within 3 seconds, the software automatically returns to
normal operating mode.
1. Switch steam humidifier off.
2. Press and hold both "RESET/SEL" and "DRAIN/ENT" and
switch the 5500 Steam Humidifier back on. When the
wrench blinks, release the two buttons.
3. Press "RESET/SEL" until the display shows 02.
WARNING: DO NOT confirm any value higher than 04. If
05 or higher is displayed, press "RESET/SEL" until the
display goes back to the normal operating mode and restart
from step 1.
4. Press "DRAIN/ENTER" (minimum 1 second) to confirm: the
display shows "P1" then the current signal type and "set".
