6. TROUBLESHOOTING

CAUSE
26
SOLUTION
1.
Check the safety devices upstream from the humidifier and the
presence of power
2.
Close the switch on the panel: position I
3.
Check that connectors are properly inserted in terminal block
4.
Check the condition of fuses
5.
Check that the proper voltage is connected and turned on
1.
Close ON/OFF contacts
2.
Check the external connection
3.
Replace the humidistat
4.
Check furnace fan / blower operation
1.
Check that the steam hose is not kinked or sagging, trapping
condensate
2.
Clean the fill valve strainer
3.
Clean the fill cup
4.
Check for voltage at the drain pump valve and/or drain pump
replacement
1.
Check that the steam distributor is installed correctly
2.
Increase air flow in duct or decrease PO maximum steam production
setting
3.
Check the connection of the device (flow switch or differential pressure
switch) controlling the humidifier to the ventilation in the duct
1.
Clean the drain assembly and pan
2.
Check the entire water circuit
3.
Check the fastening of the hose clamps on the steam outlet
4.
Lift out the cylinder and check to see the bushing and / or O-ring are
properly seated (See illustration Page 21)
1.
Check for sags & kinks that could trap condensate in the steam hoses
that could cause a back pressure on the cylinder
2.
Check the duct static pressure
3.
Check the fill valve and inlet strainer
4.
Check the drain pump operation
5.
Correct installation problems and replace cylinder
1.
Contact the factory for an optional drain timer to force additional
drains to control the minerals
2.
Discontinue use if you are using a water softener
3.
Check the electrodes in the cylinder to be sure they were not damaged
in shipping
1.
Use instruction in Section 4.4 to power clean or replace the cylinder
2.
Check the steam hoses for kinks or gullies that might be trapping
condensate
3.
Replace the fill valve
4.
Consider using a mix of demineralized water with raw water
5.
Check cylinder - replace if exhausted. If feed water contains silica or
nitrates, install a 1-micron water filter
