3.2 Functional Description
Combustion
The combustion system consists of a fully modulating forced-draft combustion air blower(s), a negative
pressure regulated gas valve(s), and a premix burner(s). On a call for humidity, the blower is energized
to purge the system. During this time the control software performs diagnostic checks of the safety
systems – the air proving switch (not shown), the high limit temperature switch in the exhaust vent, as
well as the blowers. If the air proving switch is open, the warning message "AP Open Warn" appears,
and escalates to the fault message "AP Open Fault" if three consecutive warnings occur. At the same
time, if the over-temperature switch is open, the fault message "Over-Temperature Fault" appears. In
addition, if any of the blowers fail to operate during this time, the fault message "Blower Not Operating"
appears. When the functions of the safety systems have been veried successfully, the gas valve(s)
open(s) and the gas-air mixture is pushed through the burner ports into the combustion chamber(s). The
spark-igniter(s) is/are simultaneously activated to ignite the gas-air mixture.
If a ame is not sensed by the ame sensor(s), the above sequence is repeated after 15 seconds. The
sequence is repeated up to a maximum of three times, after which the ignition control module(s) locks
out and the fault message "Ignition Fail" appears. If a ame is sensed by the ame sensor(s), the gas
valve(s) remain(s) open and combustion continues. The gas valve(s) continue(s) to maintain a constant
air-to-gas ratio independent of the blower speed or external conditions.
On the CS models, the hot ue gases pass through the primary heat-exchanger then the secondary
heat-exchanger, where it is cooled further before it exits through the exhaust vent. The heat recovered
by the secondary heat-exchanger is used to warm up the feed water. On the standard-efciency model,
the hot ue gases pass through the primary heat-exchanger and exit through the exhaust vent.

14 Product Overview 2596643-B_EN_2010_Condair GS_OM
Water Management
The humidier is equipped with a level control unit that monitors the water level in the tank. The tank
is supplied with water from the water supply, and from the secondary heat exchanger in CS models. A
vacuum break valve is used to prevent siphoning in the drain connection.
In the CS model, a secondary heat-exchanger promotes higher efciencies. This is achieved by using
the heat from the exhaust gas to pre-heat the cold ll water entering the tank.
The level control unit is connected to the top and bottom of the tank to monitor water level inside the
tank. The level control unit is equipped with a control board and consists of two magnetic oats (one is
the level oat and one is the safety oat) that measure the water level. The water levels in the tank are
indicated with 3 LEDs on the control board and are monitored by the control software.
Water Levels:
– L5 (yellow LED lights) – high water level
– L4 (green and yellow LED light) – intermediate water level
– L3 (green LED lights) – middle water level
– L2 (green and red LED light) – intermediate water level
– L1 (red LED lights) – low water level
On initial start-up, the dual ll valve lls the tank and the level control unit. A start-up test monitors the
water level as the tank and level control unit lls, and ensures proper functioning of the unit.
Note: A fault message "Float Level" may appear at any time. This indicates an invalid combination of
readings from the control software (for example, if L5 and L1 LEDs activate at the same time).
1. Water enters the level control unit via the hose connected to the tank The water level reaches rst
the safety oat, then the level oat.
2. As water lls the level control unit and reaches the L1 level, the control software performs a test to
verify proper functioning of the dual ll valve and the drain pump.
a) The ll valves lls the tank until the water level L5 is reached (detected by the level control unit).
b) Then, the drain pump energizes to lower the water level to just below L3.
Note: The water levels should appear in ascending then descending order; L1, L2, L3, L4, L5, L4,
L3. A fault message "Fill Check Fault" appears if the water level does not rise to level L5. A fault
message "Drain Check" appears if the water level does not drop below the level L3.
3. When the test is complete, the dual ll valve activates and the water level should rise to level L3.
4. If a demand signal is present, the humidier begins the combustion sequence.
5. The drain pump and dual ll valves maintain the water level between levels L2 and L5.
If "Float Check" is enabled during steam production, the control software will activate the drain sequence
every 24 hours (adjustable to any time of day) to verify proper functioning of the level control unit, dual
ll valve, and the drain pump.

The operating status area of the Home screen shows the current operating status message and an associ-
ated status icon. The messages are described in Table 3, and the status icons are described in Table 5.
Table 3: Operating Status Descriptions
Message Description
Humidifying The humidier is generating steam.
Stopped The humidier is stopped because a condition with a "Fault" status is active.
Disabled The Condair GS humidier is disabled by the BMS (building management system).
Safety Loop One or more contacts in the external security loop is open, so the humidier has stopped produc-
ing steam.
Idle The humidier is in standby mode (no humidity demand). The humidier will remain in this state
until it receives a valid humidity demand signal.
Idle Drain The humidier is in standby mode (no humidity demand) and will remain in this state until a demand
signal is received, or until the "Idle Drain Time" has elapsed (and the "Idle Drain" function is active).
The humidier will drain when "Idle Drain Time" has elapsed.
Idle-Empty Indicates that the tank is empty during idle.
Keep Warm) The humidier is in standby mode, and the "Keep Warm" function is activated
Filling Indicates that the tank is being lled

4.2.3 Maintenance and Fault Status
The Service/Warning/Fault status area of the Home screen (refer to Table 4) shows maintenance re-
minders, warning and fault status messages along with associated status icons (refer to Table 5). This
eld also allows access to the "Service" menu. When a maintenance reminder, warning or fault status
message is active, the list of current faults/warnings can be accessed directly from this eld to view
additional details.
Table 4: Maintenance/Fault Status Descriptions
Message Description
Service info No faults conditions present.
Main. Warning This maintenance reminder appears when the Service Interval time set in the control software
has elapsed. The unit can continue to operate for another 200 hours, after which a correspond-
ing fault message appears and the unit stops operating.
Perform the required scheduled maintenance, then reset the service reminder in the Service
menu. Refer to Section 6.5.
Warning Warning A condition with a "Warning" status is active. Depending on the warning condition, the
humidier will continue to produce steam when there is a demand (unless the warning relates
to a control signal).
In addition, the status LED turns yellow in color.
Fault Fault A condition with a "Fault" status is active. The humidier will not produce steam until the
fault condition is cleared.
In addition, the status LED turns red in color.

Table 5: Status Icon Descriptions
Symbol Description
This icon appears to the left of the operating status message or the maintenance/fault message
when the system is working normally.
Warning
This icon appears to the left of the maintenance/fault status message when a maintenance reminder
or a condition with a "Warning" status is active. The humidier will continue to produce steam when
there is a demand (unless the warning relates to a control signal fault).
Typically, these conditions are of a temporary nature, or conditions that cannot cause damage to
the system. Depending on the condition, the Condair GS humidier may be stopped (e.g. if the
warning relates to a control signal fault) or remains operable. If the cause of the condition clears
on its own accord, the warning message is automatically reset. If the condition becomes worse, a
fault message may be triggered.
When a warning message is active, the status LED lights yellow.
Fault
This icon appears to the left of the maintenance/fault status message when a condition with a "Fault"
status is active. The humidier stops producing steam.
Typically, these are conditions which prevent further operation of the humidier, or conditions that
can cause damage to the system. When a fault condition occurs, the Condair GS humidier stops
steam production immediately.
When a fault message is active, the status LED lights red.
