Installation

Unpack and inspect contents. Ensure proper location near HVAC system with access to water, drain, and power.

Mount unit: Use provided brackets to mount on wall or equipment rack near HVAC duct.
Connect water supply: Install 1/4" water line with shutoff valve; connect to unit inlet.
Connect drain: Install 3/4" drain line with proper slope; connect to unit drain port.
Electrical connection: Connect to dedicated 120V AC, 15A circuit with proper grounding.
Steam distribution: Connect steam hose to HVAC duct using provided installation kit.

WARNING! Installation must be performed by qualified HVAC technician. Ensure proper grounding and water connections to prevent electrical shock or water damage.

First-Time Setup

Power on unit; follow initialization sequence.

Wireless configuration: Use LonWorks tool to commission device on network; set unique Neuron ID.
Humidity setpoint: Configure desired humidity level (typically 35-45% RH).
System integration: Map humidity input/output variables to building automation system.
Test operation: Initiate manual steam generation test to verify proper installation.
Calibration: Verify humidity sensor accuracy using calibrated reference hygrometer.

CAUTION! Ensure water supply is turned on before testing. Monitor for leaks during initial operation.

Controls and Settings

Primary control via building automation system through LonWorks interface. Local controls: Power switch, manual drain button, reset button.

Status Indicators: Power (green), Operation (blue), Fault (red), Wireless (green blinking when communicating).

Configuration Parameters (via LonWorks): Humidity setpoint, fan delay, maximum runtime, minimum off time, calibration offset, wireless network settings, self-cleaning interval.

Operating Modes: Automatic (based on humidity demand), Manual (fixed output), Off, Service (for maintenance).

Connecting to Systems

LonWorks Integration: Requires compatible LonWorks network interface and configuration tool.

Ensure wireless Lon network is properly configured with coordinator.
Commission device using LonWorks configuration tool (e.g., LonMaker).
Assign Neuron ID and network variables for humidity control.
Map humidity setpoint, current humidity, and operational status to BAS points.
Test communication by reading/writing network variables.

Tip: Document Neuron ID and network variable assignments for future reference.

Operation Modes

Automatic Mode: Unit responds to humidity demand from building automation system.

BAS sends humidity setpoint and receives current humidity reading.
Unit modulates steam output to maintain setpoint.
Fan delay ensures proper steam distribution through HVAC system.
Self-cleaning cycle activates automatically based on runtime or calendar schedule.

Manual Mode: Fixed steam output percentage (0-100%) for testing or temporary operation.

Service Mode: For maintenance activities; disables normal operation.

WARNING! Do not operate without proper water supply and drain connection. Monitor for scale buildup in areas with hard water.

Maintenance

Regular maintenance ensures optimal performance and longevity.

Monthly: Check for leaks at water and drain connections.
Quarterly: Inspect steam hose for cracks or deterioration.
Annually: Perform thorough cleaning of steam cylinder and reservoir.
As needed: Replace scale control cartridge (typically every 1-2 years depending on water hardness).
Self-cleaning: Unit performs automatic cleaning; verify drain flows freely after cycle.

CAUTION! Disconnect power before performing any maintenance. Allow unit to cool completely before servicing.

Care & Cleaning

Unplug unit before cleaning. External surfaces: Wipe with damp cloth. Internal components: Follow descaling procedure if scale buildup occurs.

Descaling Procedure: Use approved descaling solution (citric acid based); circulate through system per manufacturer instructions.

CAUTION! Do not use abrasive cleaners or high-pressure water. Never immerse electrical components in water.

Troubleshooting

Symptom	Possible Cause	Corrective Action
No steam production	Power, water supply, or scale	Check power connection; verify water supply valve open; descale if needed.
Wireless communication failure	Network configuration, range, interference	Verify Neuron ID; check wireless range (max 300 ft); reduce interference sources.
High humidity reading	Sensor calibration, location	Recalibrate sensor; ensure proper location away from steam source.
Water leakage	Loose connections, damaged seals	Tighten connections; replace damaged seals or hoses.
Fault indicator illuminated	Over-temperature, low water flow	Check for restricted water flow; allow unit to cool; reset if needed.
Scale buildup	Hard water, infrequent cleaning	Install water softener; increase self-cleaning frequency; perform manual descaling.

Reset Procedure: Press and hold reset button for 5 seconds to clear non-critical faults.
