Herrmidifier Co 6000 Manuel D’Utilisation

 
Start-up Instructions 
 
1.  Check that the humidifier is properly mounted and 

level. 

2.  Check that the water fill and drain are properly 

connected. 

3.  Check that the correct voltage and amperage 

services are supplied. 

4.  Check all controls are wired properly. 
5.  Check that the steam distributor is properly installed 

and that the steam hose has been properly routed 
without any kinks or flat spots. 

6. With power off, double-check all electrical 

connections and plumbing connections to insure that 
they did not loosen during shipment. 

7.  With the "on-off-drain" switch in the "off” position, 

and the control and high limit (ducted versions only) 
humidistats at their lowest settings, turn on the main 
disconnect. The contractor should remain 
deenergized and the power light should remain "off”. 
Place the “on-off-drain" switch in the "on" position 
and the power light should illuminate. 

8.  Turn the control and high limit (ducted versions only) 

humidistats up to there highest setting. The 
contractor should pull in. 

9.  After approximately a twenty second delay, the fill 

valve should open and water begins to fill the 
cylinder to the preset amp level or cylinder full 
condition, depending on the incoming water supply. 
When starting up the unit, it is best to put an amp 
clamp on the power leg that passes through the 

torroid transformer. Insure that the humidifier fills  to 
"cylinder full" (approximately 1.5” from the top of the 
cylinder), or that the amperage reaches the data 
plate maximum and the fill valve closes. 

10.  All units are equipped with a drain-tempering feature 

which mixes cold fill water with the hot drain water to 
protect drain piping. Depending on your fill water 
pressure, some adjustment of the fill metering valve 
may be necessary to insure drain water of less than 
140 degrees F (See Figure 9). To deactivate, 
remove diode from socket CRI8 from circuit board 
(See Figure 12). 

11. Reset control and high limit humidistats to there 

desired settings. Typical control humidistat settings 
are 30-40% and limit humidistat settings are 65-
70%.  

 

The capacity of the humidifier can be adjusted
between 500% and 100% of the maximum level
by adjusting the capacity adjustment 
potentiometer (labeled R39) on the main circuit
board.  All blower versions are set from the
factory to produce 4 lbs/hr. If the psychrometric
conditions permit, the 6000—2 may be
increased to 8 lbs/hr by adjusting R39 from 50%
to 100% capacity. 

Inadequate airflow may allow humidity to collect in 
areas causing condensation.

 

If upon initial start-up of this humidifier the
cylinder is slow in heating and/or the service
light continues to come on, drain the tank to 1/4
full. Turn off power at breaker and crumble 1/2
of one tablet (Alka-Seltzer) from the envelope
tagged EST-1583 included with unit into the 
grey fill tee. Change the middle blue dial on the
left side of the circuit board, R18, from 90% to
87%. Then turn the breaker on and run the unit.
If you have had to use these this step on a
230V unit (6000-2,4), it is advisable that you
order a GT-176-1 replacement cylinder rather
than the standard replacement cylinder in the
future so this procedure will not need to be
repeated. Upon receipt of the GT-176-1
cylinder, adjust the dial, R18, on the circuit
board back to 90%.
