Installation, Operating & Maintenance Manual How The Humisteam Works HumiSteam is an electrode humidifier. It produces s team for humidification by passing electr ode current through the water i n the steam generator cylinder between metal electr odes . There are no heater el ements . Steam output is direc tly proportional to the c onducti vity of the water, and the amount of elec trode immers ed in the water.
humiSteam CAREL 1 Installation 1.1 Positioning The HumiSteam has been designed for wall mounting (although it can be placed on a stand) and, since it is an atmospheric steam humidifier, should be placed close to the point where the steam will be used, to minimize the steam hose length (and condensate). Certain clearances must be maintained around the unit: A Minimum 12 Dimension (inches) B 8 C 8 D 16 E F 28 <0.
Installation, Operating & Maintenance Manual 1.2 Mounting 1.2.1 Removing the front cover The front cover is secured by a capture screw located underneath the CAREL logo. Twist the CAREL logo to reveal the screw, and use a phillips head screwdriver to remove it. Then simply lift the front cover and pull out to remove it. Return it in reverse order. 1.2.2 Fastening to the wall Using the screws and anchors supplied, fasten the mounting bracket to the wall.
humiSteam CAREL 1.3 Plumbing 1.3.1 Water supply The HumiSteam must be supplied with water (not softened) having the following characteristics: Instant flow rate Connection Temperature limits Pressure limits Hardness limits Conductiv ity range Model UE 001-008 009-015 025-045 65 0.2 gpm 0.3 gpm 1 gpm 1.9 gpm 1/4" O.D. Compression 3/8" O.D.
Installation, Operating & Maintenance Manual See the following diagram for a drain line installation diagram Note: If utilizing the optional drain tempering dev ices, the drain line needs to be increased to a 2" minimum nominal size for the UE025 to UE065. WARNING: Do NO T use PVC piping unless the unit has the optional drain tempering valve installed.
humiSteam CAREL Water supply and drain connections are made according to the following diagram. Note: Drain line must be installed and plumbed to an open drain immediately after the unit. For proper operation of the unit, the open drain should be installed before the trap (if allow ed by local code). Physical location of the supply and drain connections are located as shown below. UE 010-015 UE 025-065 NOTE: Carel can provide a drain tempering system which limits the water drain to no more than 140°F.
Installation, Operating & Maintenance Manual 1.4 Steam distribution 1.4.1A Duct injection NOTE: If the ventilated steam distributor is to be used, then go to section 1.4.1B. Each unit has either 7/8” (22 mm), 1-1/4” (30 mm) diameter outlet or 1-5/8” (40 mm) diameter outlets. Some units have multiple outlets. The duct distributors and steam hose must be matched in size to the diameter of the steam outlets for the units: UNIT MODEL NUMBER UE001 No.
humiSteam CAREL Distributor pipes should be mounted per the diagrams shown below, with a minimum of 6” from the center of the distributor pipe to the top of the duct and 3” minimum to the bottom. To install the distributor pipes: 1. Cut a key shaped hole in the side of the duct to match the steam pipe and condensate return. 2. Apply silicone sealant to the mounting plate and insert the pipe through the hole and secure it with 4 sheet metal screws. 3.
Installation, Operating & Maintenance Manual 1.4.1B Room distribution blower units Refer to the manual supplied with the Room Distribution Units for specifics on the blower units themselves. Clearances required are shown below.
humiSteam CAREL 1.4.2 Steam Hoses NINETY PERCENT (90%) OF ALL OPERATION PROBLEMS ARE CREATED BY IMPROPER STEAM PIPING FROM THE HUMIDIFIER UNIT TO THE DUCT DIS TRIBUTOR PIPES. To avoid these problems, remember one simple fact when running the steam hose: steam naturally flows up hill, and condensate naturally flows down hill.
Installation, Operating & Maintenance Manual 1.5 Power wiring Single Phase Terminals Three Phase Terminals Check that the power supply voltage to be connected matches the value indicated on the rating plate inside the electrical panel. Insert the power and ground connection cables into the electrical panel compartment using the strain reliefs supplied, and connect to the terminals. An external fused disconnect must be installed.

Installation, Operating & Maintenance Manual 1.6 Connect Control Wiring A typical humidifier control system includes a wall or return duct sensor or controller, a high limit duct humidistat and an air-proving switch. Placement of these devices is critical to proper operation of the overall system. 1.6.1 Controls Placement (See following diagram) The return air RH sensor must always be located BEFORE any outside air intake, in order to insure accurate sensing of the air from the space.
humiSteam CAREL Remote Supervisor / Serial Communications: This is a standard RS485 serial connection. It is recommended to keep wiring under 3,200 feet. Request Carel’s communications documentation for additional information on this option. Control wiring is made directly to the control board terminals: 1. terminal block G (dehumidification contact); 2. terminal block H (alarm contact); 3. terminal block K (on/off, manual drain switch); 4. terminal block I (control signals); 5.
Installation, Operating & Maintenance Manual For Modulating Operation w ith External Controller: Connect any external controller (0-1 Vdc, 0-10 Vdc Parameter A0 must be set to 1. Parameter A2 must be set per the OUT signal from the regulator: • voltage: 0 to 1 Vdc; 0 to 10 Vdc; 2 to 10 Vdc; • current: 0 to 20 mA; 4 to 20 mA. NOTE: Safeties are high-limit humidistat, air flow switch, and/or external enable. DO NOT apply any v oltage to 7I & 8I.

Installation, Operating & Maintenance Manual HC-101 and HC-201 Wall and Duct Humidistats Mounting the HC-101 room humidistat: Mount the HC-101 humidistat to an inside wall or post in the area to be humidified. Position it so that no drafts from registers or outlets are blowing on it. Be sure that it is not placed over a device that could generate heat or vapor ie: stove, machinery, cleaning vat. The unit has three wire leads, Orange, Brown and Red. Use the Orange and Brown leads for control operation.
humiSteam CAREL PC-301 Air Proving Switch Mounting the PC-301 air flow switch: Mount the airflow switch in the supply or return duct using the screws supplied. Mount the device so that the diaphragm is in a vertical position as shown at right. If the airflow switch is to be mounted on the return duct (vacuum), then mount it in a vertical position by the small plate.
