1.3 Radio humidity transmitter
The radio humidity transmitter controls the humidier automatically. It measures the
current air humidity and sends the value to the humidier at three-minute intervals or if
the humidity changes by more than 2 %. In automatic mode, the fan speed is regulated
according to the set humidity value.

1.4 Functional description
The B 600 humidier works according to the natural
principle of evaporation. A water pump continuously
conveys water from the water tank (3) into the oval water
channel (2). The water seeps through the drain holes
inside the trough and moistens the evaporation lter (4).
A fan (1) inside the humidier draws in the air. This ows
through the evaporation lter and is cleaned and
humidied in the process. The humidied air is then
released back into the room through the air outlet
opening on the top (arrow).
The humidier is lled manually via the lling opening
under the glass plate. Optionally, the unit can also be
connected to the local water supply. In this case, the
humidier is lled automatically and manual lling is not
necessary (chapter„8. Accessories" on page 44).
You have the option of operating the unit either as an air
humidier or air purier. The units are delivered from the
factory in humidier mode. In air purier mode, the unit is
operated without water. The fan always runs and the
water pump is deactivated (chapter 5.8 "Operating mo-
des"). Abb. 1.4.1: Funktionsprinzip
