2.0 HUMIDITY OPERATING SYSTEMS
2.1 Humidification System
The Model 518 Chamber includes an ETS Model 562 Ultrasonic Humidification System.
The humidifier is a separate unit that sits adjacent to the right side of the Chamber. The
humidifier is connected to the chamber by attaching the 1” I.D. clear tubing provided, to
the input barb located on the upper right corner of the Side Access Panel (left of the
cooling valve input).
Read the Model 562 Set-up instructions before using the Humidifier!!
The Model 562 Ultrasonic Humidifier produces a fine water mist through ultrasonic
action. The mist is forced from the humidifier into the chamber by a small, quiet fan.
The fan draws in ambient air. This is not a closed-loop system.
2.1.1 Set-up
1. Fill the water tank. USE Distilled or Deionized water ONLY!!
Remove the water tank from the humidifier unit and inspect it for small cracks
or any other damage that may have occurred during shipping (a small crack
will allow air to enter the tank, which can cause the water to overflow the
basin and possibly damage the unit). After inspection, fill the tank ¾ full with
distilled or deionized water ONLY (user provided).
NOTE
Using tap water will destroy the ultrasonic transducer and the
associated electronics. Tap water will also cause a white dust to form
on all surfaces (including the humidity sensor, which will also be
destroyed).
2. Replace the tank on the humidifier unit.
The water will automatically drain from the tank into the basin and stop when
the basin is full. If the tank is not installed properly, or the humidifier is not on
a level surface, water may continue to flow after the basin is full. If this occurs,
