Installation Instructions

28 Mounting and installation work
The installation site of the Condair RS depends largely on the location of the steam distributor (see chapter
5.4.2). To ensure proper functioning of the steam humidier and to obtain an optimal efciency, the
following points must be considered and observed when choosing the location for the steam humidier:
– Install the steam humidier so that:
– the length of the steam line is kept as short as possible (max. 4 m),
– the minimum bend radius for steam hoses (R= 300 mm) and for solid steam pipes (5 x
internal diameter) and the minimum upslope and downslope (min. 15 %/8.5°) of the steam
lines is maintained (see chapter 5.4.5).
– The Condair RS is designed for wall-mounting in protected interiors. Make sure that the construction
(wall, pillar, oor-mounted console, etc.) to which the humidier is to be mounted, offers a suf-
ciently high load-bearing capacity (take notice of the weight information found in the dimensions
and weights table), and is suitable for the installation.
CAUTION!
Do not mount the steam humidier directly to the ventilation duct (insufcient stability).
– The back panel of the Condair RS retains heat during operation (max. surface temperature of the
metal housing approx. 60 - 70 °C). Make sure, therefore, that the construction (wall, pillar, etc.) to
which the unit is to be mounted, does not consist of heat-sensitive material.
– Install the Condair RS in such a manner that it is freely accessible with sufcient space available
for maintenance purposes. The minimum distances shown in Fig. 9 must be maintained.
– In order to use the cables supplied with double units and Linkup systems, the unit must be mounted
on the same height, with a maximum distance between the units of 50 mm and in the order shown
in Fig. 9.
– The Condair RS is protected according to IP21. Make sure the unit is installed in a drip-proof location
and the admissible ambient conditions are complied with.
– Do not mount the Condair RS to hot or very cold walls or near vibrating components.
– The steam humidier Condair RS must only be installed in rooms with a oor drain.
CAUTION!
If for some reason the Condair RS must be installed in a location without oor drain, it is manda-
tory to provide a leakage monitoring device to safely interrupt the water supply in case of leakage.
– When mounting the Condair RS use only the mounting materials supplied with the unit. If mount-
ing with the materials supplied is not possible in your particular case, select a method of mounting
that is of similar stability.
– The Condair RS is designed for installation and operation within buildings (admissible temperature
range 5...40 °C). For outdoor operation the Condair RS must be placed in a weather protective hous-
ing. If ambient temperatures near or below the freezing point have to be expected, the protective
housing must equipped with a thermostat controlled heating of sufcient capacity. The water supply
pipe must be equipped with a trace-heating and must be insulated up to the protective housing.
The installation of a normally open valve inside the building envelope that will drain water in case of
power failure is highly recommended
